CHAUTAUQUA- CIRCLE

The Pierian Chautauqua Circle held it's BIZ
weekly meeting in the school room Sunday, March
Is. 1919. Seventeen members answered roll call.
one member dropped from rolls for cause
President w. opened the meeting, stating that
literary program was arranged for the meeting and
owing to the long readings and discussions the time
was utilized for this program which was very sue
cessful.
The first member to appear on the program
Mr.. F. A. o. with paper entitled, Shall the Gov
ernment Operate the Railroads." The termination
of Government operating railroads is widely dis
cussed throughout the country not only by railroad
men, fnanciers and shippers, but the general public
Mr.. O. not only demonstrated his interest in the
Government Ownership. but showed cause where,
and why, the Government operated at tremendous
loss in the past year; Mr.. Os paper was one of the
most interesting read and discussed before the
circle members ard won great applause
Following the program paper prepared
and read by Mr. r. B., The Unopened Oyster"
People very familiar with the of oysters and
have heard of it's industry but what is an oyster?
Mr.. BIS paper gave full details both of the oyster
and its nature and the industry of it and how they
are dredged out of their beds and some very inter-
esting restrictions of Government law regarding the
oyster industry. Mr. BIS paper was very interesting
from start to finish and was we'll received by the
Circle
The closing of the program was a recitation by
the Circles favorite, Mr. J. M, Take It From Fa-
ther." Mr. M needs no introduction, as everybody
knows when he appears there is always applause.
Mr.. r. H.. critic, read his report in a clear
voice, commencing the readers for their splendid
readings which dealt with facts and statistics of the
present conditions of railroads. also the paper read
by Mr. B. was very interesting and instructive. No
further business. meeting adjourned.

who entered business during the year were members
of corporation and that very large proportion of
the local investments were made by individuals and
unregistered partnerships.
Corporations organized by resident Americans
to engage in various industrial and commercial pur-
suits during the year had total capitalization of ap
proximately $4,000 900. These figures represent the
nominal capital of all corporations. and it should be
remembered that the local law requires that only 20
per cent of the capital stock be subscribed and 25
per cent of that subscribed be paid up in order that
a corporation may be given charter.
Considerable progress was made during the year
in subsidizing and selling the well known San Jose
estate Of Mindoro. containing approximately $4,000
acres of sugar land There was a notable eagerness
among the Filipinos to purchase portions of this
tate aud great number of corporations financed by
local capital were organized for the purpose of tax
ing tracts This incident is cited because it is typi-
cal of the new attitude of the Filipino toward invest
ments which is notably different from that displayed
few years ago.
This new attitude was also shown in the organ.
ization of the National Coal Company. which is cap
talzed at 81 100000 and financed in part by native
interests; and in the great progress made by local
shipping establishment.
During l9l| the new rural credit system enact
ed into law few years ago found definite accept
ance among the people, Convincing testimony of
this new industrial spirit is the effort made by the
small farmer to free himself from his dependence
on the commercial cacique. who has been his banker
and TO whom he has paid very high interests.
The younger generation of Fllipinos is looking
with more favor on commerce and industry when
choosing careers Heretofore, Government positions
and the professions have been preferred.

Filipinos in Business

The new era in commerce and industry among
the Fpnos is reflected also 10 the unusually
large number of companies capitalized by Filipinos
that were incorporated during 1917. Between 25
and 80, financed wholly in part by natives and
with capital aggregating approximately $3.50, 900,
incorporated to engage in purely agricultural
pursuits. Those organized for the purpose of en-
gaging in commercial or industrial pursuits number
ed between SO and 60 with aggregate capital of
approximately 50 100000. These figures show an
increase of several hundred per cent over previous
years and indicate remarkable rush of Filipi-
nos into business pursuits 1t should be borne in
mind in this connection that only few of those

Trees are a Part of the Family

My fancy has always found something very in
teresting in orchard. Apple trees, and all fruit
trees, have domestic character which brings them
into relationship with men. They have lost. in
great the wild nature of the forest tree and
have grown humanzed by receiving care and by
contributing to the wants of mankind. They have
become part of the family and their individual char
acters we'll understood and appreciated as
those of the human members One tree is harsh and
Grabbed, another mild, is chursh and illiberal,
another is free with it's bounties Even the shapes
of apple trees have great individuality into such
strange postures do they put themseve, and thrust
their branches erotesquey in all directions. And
when they have stood around house for many
years. and held with successive dynastes of
occupants and gladdened their hearts often in the
fruitful autumn then it would seem almost sacre-
gious to cut them down.-Hawthorne

Daylight Saving Boon To Workers

Discussing the plan for saving daylight by
turning the clocks forward hour which went into
effect in March, 1918, the repeal of which is sought
tby rider on the agricultural appropriation bill now
pending in the Senate, Frank Morrison secretary of
the American Federation of Labor, stated recently
that the executive council of the American Fedora
toD of Labor last year approved the daylight saving
plan, after investigation which showed thae it
would mean greater comfort, safety and health TO
the workers.
Under the daylight saving plan all working
hours are daylight hours" said Mr.. Morrison, and
and and children in industry have
greater opportunity for reaction in the sunlight. 1t
believed that the number of injuries by accident
in industry would be reduced. as physical energy is
at the lowest ebb in the late afternoon hours. War
rant for this belief appears in the industrial accident
statistics of Pennsylvania. In that state the number
of such accidents was ,O36 less in 1918 than in
1917, and 1912 less than in 1916. The total for
1918 was 1874, of which number more than 5000
were killed.
Thus in one state alone the casualties in indus
try for year nearly the as the American
casualties in the great world Much of the re-
ducton in industrial casualties in that be
credited to the daylight saving law."-Sel.

Time and Friendship

As the years fit by we find new glow is added
TO them and they are pleasantly linked in memory
from the fact that friends were true and not
counterfeit. True friendship never springs from
sel6shness and suspicion envy There is no pos
session in life comparable to the enjoyment of dis
Greet and virtuous friend. AS a rule the old and
tried and true friends the best. There is an old
poem which we'll expresses the idea in our mind:
Make new friends but keep the old,
Those silver. these are gold;
New made friendships like wine
Time will mellow and refine
Friendships that have stood the test
Of time and change surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship true knows no decay.
For, mid friends, the tried and true
We once more youth renew,
But, alas! old friends may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast,
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old,
Those silver, these are gold.

GEORGE w. WICKERSHAM
Former Acknowledgement of the
United States.

George w. Wickersham, former
Attorney General OF the United
States, is actively enlisted in the Ma
tion-Widc Campaign OF the Episco-
pal Church which is being waged for
a more practical, efficient religion.
Discussing the awakening of the
people, as one OF the outcomcs of
the world war, and of their dawning
consciousness of power and influ-
cnce in shaping the worlds affairs,
Mr.. Wickersham says:
at is distinctly church function
to lead in this. The politicians can't
do it. 1t isn't situation in which
partisan passion should play any
part. 1t is human problem, and
the part which the church must play
IS that of getting down to human
basis in its relations with men and
women and approaching them not
only from their spiritual. but from
their material side as we'll.
1--WE have had too much religion
that goes over the heads of the peo-
pie. We haven't been practical and
we haven't been efficient. The re-
ligion of the new era must recognize
and advocate that men and women
are rational human beings, entitled
to fair and adequate compensation
for their toll, and the blessings of
light, air, sunshine, flowers; ample
hours in which to enjoy all these
and stimulating amusements. That
is at once good economies and good
religion. 1t is a religion that makes
for efficiency, and religion that is
human, and practical"
This increasing of the human,
practical and efficient side of re-
ligion is one of the big problems to
be tackled by the Episcopal Church
in its Nationwide Campaign to in
crease at home and abroad its re-
ligious, educational, hospital and
social service work. After an in
tensive educational campaign will
come an every member canvass of
communicates of the Episcopal
Church on December z for funds to
the amount of more than $42, 900, 900
and for 1900 additional church
workers.
