THE NOBILITY OF LABOR.


"Thank God every morning when
you get up that you have something
to do which must be done, whether
you like it or not. Being forced to
work, and forced to do your best will
broaden your temperance, self-con-
troll, diligence, strength-of-will, con-
tent, and hundred virtues which the
idle will never know"
Kingsley had the true conception of
life as it is related to labor, when he
wrote the above lines. The man who
performs his work with the determ-
ination to do more than he is paid
for, eventually gets paid for more
than he actually does.
1t does not hurt to go to work a lit
tie earlier and leave little later than
you are supposed to do. 1t does not
hurt to use the tools you work with
just as carefully as if they belonged
to you. 1t does not hurt to 20 out of
your way to speak kind word for
your boss or your fellow-workers.
And when there is extra work to be
done, it does not hurt to volunteer
for the service.
If one will practice this view of life
and labor, it will solve the problem of
the present nationwide unrest Work
should not be looked at from jjuss tho
standpoint of dollars and cents, or to
see how little you can do. The line of
least resistance is often alluring, but
it will get you nowhere.

Since the country went prohibition
the tailors ask you; when taking your

pint or quart pockets.
We don't mind having a palm or
two in the dining room, but don't
want a string band banked behind
them or tangoing mixed with the
menu.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

! That some kind of a league, or in
ternational court, is necessary for the
purpose of keeping mankind from
emulating the famous example of the
Kilkenny cats, is a self-evident fact,
and something all true Americans de-
voutly hope for. This thing of having
thousands of our young and brave
sons butchered is abhorrent to every
right thinking man or woman, every
father and every mother, and that
our civilization should be far enough
advanced by this time for people to
get together and adjust their diff
culties without resulting to the meth
DDS of barbarians and savages, we all
agree.
But SO far we cannot seem to agree
upon the agreement. The Republi-
cans pull this way and the Democrats
pull that. One set of alleged states
men lie down in the harness and an
other set of diplomats pull crosswise.
The President says one thing; the
Senate says another and the polite
ians are yelling themselves red in the
face, while the average member of
the Ancient and Honorable Order of
Dear Peepul don't know whether
Shantung is located adjacent to the
north pole or where the sad-eyed
Sphinx watches the Egyptian camels
wade around in the sand and go weeks
at time without a drink, as the cen
turies amble along into nowhere.
And "pity tits tits true" Why can't
we act like sensible and rational peo-
pie and get together with the under
standing that in any get-together
movement each side must give as we'll
as take, and that the main object is
to put stop to bloody warfare, and
not to quarrel over who polices Ru-
mania, eats shop-suey with China or
assists in the tragedy of giving a
Bolshevik bath.
Now, as we savy this Shantung
situation, over which both houses of
Congress- froth at the mouth and
come out of one fit only to go into an
other, it is something like this: Some
fifteen or twenty years ago there was
Boxer uprising in China; number
of Germans were killed, and in the
final settlement a 99-year lease was
given to Germany on the Shantung
peninsula by China. During the late
war China did nothing to help, but
Japan did; Shantung was taken away
from Germany by the Allies, among
whom is Japan, and now in the adj
Justment it is proposed by the peace
tribunal to award the rest of that
lease to Japan. China lost the strip
Of land years ago, and in the mean
time it has become peopled by Japan
ese. And there you are.
Personally we do not seem to be
able to work up enough feeling about
it to miss going out to lunch, and to
be real truthful we will have to adj
nit that we should not lose more than
several months sleep worrying if
some irresistible force came along,
took the Shantung peninsula and
rammed it down ethe errupting crater
mouths of 'steen politicians whose
main object in life is to remain next
to the pie counter.
