JUST A JOB.

1t is just job that is yours to hold,
A task that offers you SO much gold
Just SO much work that is yours to do
With never a greater goal in view;
What do you see at your desk or loom
Or the spot you fill in life's busy
room?
Merely a Pickering lamp that burns
With a sickly light as the mill wheel
tdrns
And the same old grind in the same
old ways
With all the to-morrows like yester-
days!
Is it just job, just task to do,
So many pieces to build anew?
So many figures to add, and then
Home for a while and back again?
Are you just clerk in gaudy shop,
Pleased when customer fails to stop,
Finding no joy in the things you sell,
Sullenly waiting the quitting bell?
Are your thoughts confined to the
narrow space
And the dreariness of your present
place?
It is just job, or a golden chance?
The first grim post of a fine advance,
The starting place on the road which
leads
To the better joys and the bigger
deeds,
Do your thoughts go out to the days
to be?
Can your eyes look over the drudgery
And see in the distance the splendid
glow
Of the broader life that you, too
may know?
What is your view of your circum-
stance,
It is just a job or a golden chance

welcome any of the ladies that come
in from the country. The funds for
this room were secured from the bus

z12 SOUTH MAIN STREET.

Universal military training is one
of the needs of the future. Even
with a League of Nations, the coun-
try must never again be caught with
an unprepared citizenship. Boys
should be trained in school so that
men would have enough military
knowledge to make unnecessary
months of camp duty to fit them for
soldiers. Under universal military
training the young men of the coun-
try would be built into strong, vi
riIe manhood. They would be train
ed so that they could promptly and
efficiently serve their country in the
event of a war. The enactment of
such a law by, the 66th Congress is
almost a foregone conclusion. In
fact, the state of Wyoming already
has such law, that has been tried
several years and has become firmly
fixed in public approval.

vice. Mr.. Taylor has returned from
Washington, where he has been at

tary of Labor Wilson. Much of the
shortage is due to labor agitators,
and some to the unwillingness of la
borers to work on farms where they
are needed, since farm labor has
been demoralized by the war prices
paid by the government contractors.
One effect of high wages is not only
to shorten the hours but the days of
