A Picture of You.
By Geo. Barr McCutcheon.

You can draw this picture your,
self. More than that, you can make
your own canvas, your own pig
ments, your own brushes, and you
can close your eyes and produce
this picture. The greatest painter
in the world could not do it half so
we'll as you. Close your eyes, lean
back in your chair-idly, if you like
with your arms folded, and try
You will see how swiftly, how clear.
ly, how terribly the picture devel
ops under the magic of your mind.
Picture yourself-no one else,
just yourself-setting out to work
in the early morning. Try, if posi-
BILE to think how you look to your
self as we'll as to other people First
of all. draw you-be you big, little,
young old, lame or strone-just
you. You must draw yourself
alive, and breathing, and thinking
thinking of war and of those
brave felloNs over there who
should be az home and going 70
work, just as you are, instead of be
ing ripped to pieces by the things
they do not see-checked out by
an Invisible timekeeper. Picture
yourself going to work in safety and
after while, going home in equal
security Nothing is going to hap
pen to you-just think as you have
always thought nothing is going
to happen to you Other men may
be run down and killed by an auto
mobiles; other men may be wiped
out by the wrecking of a train; 9th
er men may be caught by the cave
in of the subway always il is the
other man, never you You mus
60 on putting yourself into the
picture as you have always been
the one man to whom nothing can
happen. Always it is the other
man who lies dead on the curbstone
with you looking at him in pity and
with an awe that sickens you, for a
man who dies that way is a gray,
unlovely thing, You have been
able to picture the other mans body
looking like that, all limp and
twisted and in ill fitting clothes
clothes that we're filled with the life
of him little while before and you
were not inert You 60 your way
wondering why the clothes of a
dead man look dead too.
Go on with the drawing of the
picture. Keep your eyes closed,
your arms folded, your head resting
comfortably against the back OF
your chair.
You have come to your place of
work. You 90 to your appointed
place and take up the implements
with which you toil-toolS which
build life for you day by day, hour
by hour. You are an honest work
man, a man who fears neither God
nor man, for your conscience is
clear, You picture yourself assuch

yourself 10 be, whether other men
think so or not. Your tools are

choose your tools according to the
picture you draw of yourself-and
you begin an honest days work.
looking forward to the hour when
you will set out for home and the
ones you love and cherish-the
ones who think of you only as
strong, alive, imperishablc figure, as
sure to come home to them as the
plight itself will come. Your picture.

The police spoiled tive mean
when they broke up the crap game
at the Atlas Hotel. We knew of
the game a long time before the
police got it but we wanted to let
them have little more rope. There
never was a game of this kind that
didn wind up with a rough house
if left to run long enough. If this
game hadn't been interfered with,
no doubt before this time there
would have been a mix-up aud a
riot and perhaps slow music and
flowers, for which of course all
would be sorry But never mind,
hold your breath little longer it's

Monte Carlo never had anything

comes manifest. Upon the
response to the call rests the
fate of our army in France anc
our Allies.
AS the first requirements OF
the nation is ships, so the first
need is earnest skilled labor.
It is necessary to enroll two
hundred fifty thousand artists
and skilled mechanics in the
lshipyards. These mechanics
will form the 'U. S. Shipyards
Volunteers of the Public Service
Reserve"
The state of Ohio, through
the Ohio Branch, Council OF
National Defense, has promised
full cooperation with the
United States Shipping Board
and the Department of Labor
The plan in Ohio is to enroll
mechanics for shipyard work
to be called later only where
proper housing and labor con-
ditions have been established.
The desire is to draw men in
to the work of the shipyards in
such fashion as to disturb
manufacturing conditions thru
out the country as little as
possible. No man is to be cal
led Immediately, but prompt en-
rollment is desired.
|, therefore, as Governor of
Ohio, call upon the mechanics
of Ohio to enroll for future call
in this great service through
the regularly established en-
ployment bureaus, by which the
work is to be conducted thru
out Ohio.

We were in hopes that matters
would be left to die down and
smooth over, for the best intests of
the city. But it seems that few
individuals are determined to keep
the pot boiling. What there is

If not, subscribe now.

Much mystery seemed to en-
shroud the Court House the past
few weeks, especially did this ap-
pear around the quarters of the
janitors and assistants. 1t ap-
pears that these men are after an
increase in wages and the rumor is
around that the commissioners are
contemplating a 81 90 week in
crease. 1t is said that the cause Of
these secret discussions of the men
is, whether they shall invest all
this money in Standard Oil stocks
or just plain Liberty Bonds. We
want to say to you gentlemen of the
board of commissioners if you can t
grant these men an increase of at
least three dollars a week, dom t
give them anything. They are now
receiving about the same money
they received FIVE years ago and
everyone knows they can't live
now on what they received then,
We are sure that the taxpayers
will not complain if you grant them
what they are asking for.

In last weeks issue we told of
the eight-hour day and increase in
wages granted the machinists and
all other employees by the Hooven,
Owens and Rentschler company.
These concessions are due directly
to the efforts of the Machinists'
Union. There are number of
machinists in this shop who are
not members of the organization
but who ought to be. If they are
willing to accept the benefits ac-
cruing through the efforts of the
union they ought to be willing to
bear part of the expense of main
tanning that organization.

IS THERE BOARDING
OF FOOD IN LORDSBURG?

Is there any boarding of food in
LOrdsburg? We hope not; yet no
body can warrant a negative answer
is the correct one.
Hoarding is one the principal rea-
sons for the shortage in certain foods.
Housekeepers have in many instances
stocked up" with sugar, -four, salt,
potatoes and so on, beyond their i'm
mediate and prospective needs. This
practice constitutes a tremendous
drain upon supplies-especially before
the price-fxing system began-and
works an injury upon those who did
not have the means to indulge in this
practice by forcing up the price Of
necessities.
Stories have been told of women
having a hundred pounds or so Of n
commodity on hand and using this as a
reserve, purchasing their "immedi-
ate" needs from the stores.
boarding is not a popularity Of the
town or city, either. Stories are told
Of farmers being apt hands at it. One
story IS told that in some sections far
mers who formerly carried a sack of
wheat TO the grist mill are now car
rying the grain TO mill by wagon
load and boarding the -four obtained
in return.
