Wants Road Signs

What about those road signs that
the state law demands and that the
county commissioners had authorized
sometime since? A drive through any
portion of the county even by those
familiar with timber roads demon
strates the need Of these signs. In
going out in almost any direction
one comes to the forks in the road it
is impossible for one unacquainted to
know which road to take in order to
reach his destination. Road signs
would greatly facilitate travel through
this county and should ba erected as
soon as possible. Let's get busy gen
tlemen and get them up.-Milton Ga

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE.

Closer relations between employer and
employee, the economists dream, are in
fair way of being realized by the profit
sharing plan which, under many forms, is
being gradually adopted throughout the
United States

Bureau of Labor Statistics classifes profit
sharing as

these not properly speaking. sharing plans
Already there are known to be at least
sixty establishments in the United Srares
operating under the first plan, the profits
distributed ranging from two to hundred
per cent of the wages. In several instances
payment is made in stock, though the rule
is cash. The report continues:

Though all employers are not agreed on
the results of profit sharing, no one will
question that the practice has a stabaliz-
ing influence on industry Where it has
failed it was more the fault of the individ-
ual than the system. Very few people are
able to work for themselves-either they
haven't the mental determination to hold
themselves to their task, or they lack busr
ness direction. They become employees
but it is natural that they should take
greater interest in their work if they have
an interest in the business. Faithfulness is
what employers are after more than eff
cheney Efficiency is common, faithfulness
is rare Efficiency is buyable, faithfulnes:
is a pearl without price.

TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.
We notice that Mr.. M. J. Faherty,
president of the board of local i'm
provements of the city of Chicago,
considers himself and his Office as
being above the LAW, and that in
spite Of the plain provisions of the
LAW and the express refusal of the
city council to close the City Hall on
March II, Mr.. Faherty refuses to
open for public business one of the
most important public Offices of the
city of Chicago on Saturday, the
18th, because some sO-caIled Irish
religious saint was born on that day
hundreds Of years ago.
By what right or authority does
Mr.. Faherty do this? Does he fairly
represent the sentiment of the Irish
Officeholders? Do they owe their
first allegiance to this country or to
something else? Are they content
to obey the LAW Of the land, or will
they, if the test should ever come,
give obedience to some foreign ale
glance? Does Mr.. FaheTJy's def
ance Of the LAW conflict with the
mayors public stand for LAW en-
fOrcement?
It is high time for the American
people to separate the sheep from
the goats.
We call upon the mayor and the
city council to see that the LAWS are
faithfully executed-Woman's Party

Mr.. CITIZEN.-Did you read the
appeal made by the board Of health
through The Day Book to note their
report on the diseases Of our school
children? The board asked this ques-
ton: What will you do about it? 1
believe every parent should interest
themselves in this question, especial
ly those having had experiences such
as mine. If they would voice their
opinions it might help solve the prob
lem.
My child is one of the 663 children
found with diseased ears. She was
sent by her teacher with a note to a
classmate. The child had scarlet fe-
yer and seven days later my child be-
came i'll with the disease. That was
seven years ago.
Do you wonder then when another
of my children contracted the disease
this winter that took every precau-
ton. When the doctor and officer
came they found us already quaran-
tined. Safety first! But was it safe
ty last? We learned that the latter
(excuse slang) was BUNK. There
is no question about how contagious
diseases are spread if there are many
more jobs done like ours was when
quarantine was lifted.
A book of rules and laws was left
us to read regarding quarantine laws.

KAISER WILL
FREE BELGIUM

LONDON, Sept. 90 Germany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain
conditions, 1t is declared in a German
official statement according to dis
patch from Berne today given out by
the wireless press.
Germany, it is stipulated, is to have
the right to develop her economic en-
terprises freely in Belgium, especially
In Antwerp.
The proposal was made in supple
mentary note to the Vatican, replying
to the peace initiative OF Pope Bene-
dict It was in the form of verbal
communication made by Foreign Sec
retary Kuehlmann to the Papal Nun
zio at Munich, wherein the foreign
secretary specified the condition under
which Germany was willing to con-
clude peace on the basis of the evac-
uation of Belgium.
The verbal note to the Papal Nun
zio said Germany would contribute a
share Of the compensation to be paid
to Belgium for war damages. Belgium
would be required, it is said. to waive
guarantee that any such menace as
that which threatened Germany in
1914 would in the future be excluded.
