We do not believe that we
should wait until people die to
bestow all our flowers and we
wish here to toss a modest
boquet to our retiring mayor, A.
G. Read. Mr.. Read refused to
stand for reelection and he
leaves the office with the hearty
good will of the people and with
a consciousness of duty well
performed. 1t is but just to say
that he administered the affairs
of the Office faithfully and eff
GENTLY. He was at all times
courteous, patient, just and
merciful, and our town and
community are better. morally
and materially, for having had
the services of such a progress
sive, broad-minded and God
fearing man as mayor. His
successor, Mr.. w. B. Ford, is
the same type of man. and his
life and character assure the
people that the Office will be
honestly and capably filled and
that he will be in the vanguard
of every movement that tends to
the betterment of the town and
community. No citizen of oul
town enjoys the confidence OF
the people to a greater extent
than w. B. Ford and no man
merits it more.

WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

In the past employers assiduously
preached that the interests OF capital
and labor are identical. Their writer's
and speakers are still keynoting that
idea.
The Socialists came along preach
ing that labOr's interest is inherently
and inveterately hostile to capitals
Capital and labor contend over the
division of their joint product Left

What needs emphasizing. we think
is that the product is joint one

is specifically addressed to labor now

The man doubted, and reiterated
that such could not possibly be a fact
The Americans have no soldiers"
the German declared. When told
that they had nearly a million on the
front he refused to believe.
Father Cabanel called two Ameri-
can ambulance drivers to affirm his
claim. The lads from America bore
witness to the truth of the father S
statement.
The German from Cologne crossed
his hands and wept. "If that is true,
Germany is lost" he said.

The Cologne professor expressed a

One of the strongest movements in
the economic realm today is for resto-
ration of the personal element which
went by default in rapid evolution of
the modern industrial system. In
getting close to the people, the coun-
try banker ranked next to the country
editor. The country banker knew all
his customers and understood their
affairs. A friendly attitude on the

ter feeling between the public and

One delivery a day and a central

latter plan had proven a failure in
cities in which it has beenNtried.
Only a few members were in at
tendance at the meeting and it was
declared impossible to go fully into
the subject until there shall be eX-
preston from more of the business
men. This lack of attendance was
deplored, not alone at the meeting
last night, but it was stated that
there are many matters of impor-

all the members and an effort is to
be made to get them out at the next
meeting, at which time Mr.. Brown
