Now that the Government has assumed administrative
control of the railroads of the country the attention of the
public Icapng forward to the possible contingency OF
Government ownership. Already the management OF the
roads have conceded that this would probably and
express themselves desiring such an outcome. !
There are many OF the American people who believe that
the Government eventually control all public utilities
Most people, however, require to besh6Nn, and will watch

Government can demonstrate its ability to bring order out
of the present chaos of transportation cOndtons will

ownership NAV be a short and easily taken.
There number of features of the present control
which, if successfully worked out will clearly demonstrate

Foremost among these is the matter bf labor For number

MANNERS 1T HOME.

The presnc Of good mannrs is Il
here moe needed or effective than
in the household, and perhaps nowhere
more rare. Whenever the Familiarity
exists there is a tendency to loose
the check upon selfish conduct which
the presence of strangers Involuntary
produces. Many persons who are kind
and courteous in company, are rude
careless with those whom they love
best. Emerson says: GOOD manners
are made up of petty Sacrifices" an
certainly nothing can more thorough
secure the harmony and peace of the
family circle than habit of MAXI
small sacrifices for one another. Chilli
rem thus learn good manners in the
BEST and most natural way, and habits
.hus acquired will never leave them
COURTESY and kindness will never los,
heir power or their charm, while al
spurious limitations of them are to be
despised.

that expresses your knowledge OF a
