OF which record is kept, are list
ed as placed. Prior to the signing
OF the armistice 2,371.6e7 were

have successfully found work for

This report alone is indicative of
q growing labor surplus and shows
the necessity laborers have for the
governments free employment ser
vice. 1t is also a reason why cities
and factories are appealing to their
congressman to support their dis
tricts in the cry for maintenance of
federal work offices.
j. E. Prendergast, local govern
ment representative, feels confident
in view of the support which he has
received from various civic organ
izations, city officials, arsenal fed
erations and the other unions affili-
ated with the Tri-City Federation
of Labor, that congress will vote
to retain the free employment bu
reau as now operated in connection
with the United States department
of labor.
In summing Up the situation, he
to adopt a policy of humanization
of workers rather than of permit
ting the methods that have in the
past caused employees to be antag-
onistic to their employers.
1.-THE workers of today are in
many instances grasping at the
philosophy of discomfort. They are
beginning to realize that they are
not merely so many cogs in a ma
chine, each to be designated by a
number, but are actually human
beings. Just as there has been rest
iveness in the political world, so
there is now a large measure OF
restiveness in the labor world And
this restiveness can be countered
only through meeting with the
workers in a common-sense and
man-to-man spirit. Cut and dried
rules won't bring about harmony
from the chaos that will develop
unless this common-sense spirit
prevails. Humanization of his plant
must be uppermost in the employ
er's mind.
1.-The workers demand today what
they would not have dreamed of
asking four years ago in the way of
improved conditions, let alone
wages. I find that capital and la
Dor continue to be separate and
distinct factions of business, often
Not only must the
manufacturer educate his workers
to believe him, but he has the hard
err task of educating himself to a
realization of the fact that his en-
ployes are not mere automatons,
but are human.
so often has the worker felt that |
he had one put over on him by the |
employer that he hesitates today to |
accept advances from the manufac- |
turer. He distrusts the employers !

Ii Rrnfman,s RiaItn-

"The Mating" showing at Brot-
mans Rialto today, was written by
Millicent Flyison, widely known and
popular writer of fiction, and the
story is of strong love interest.
Nancy (Miss Leslie) is an Ameri-
can girl, struggling to care for her
motherless brothers and sisters,
her father being a dreaming inven-
tor. He dies and leaves her only
an invention which she is about to
sell for $1,000. Next door is a
writer who loves her, and he steals
the invention, knowing he can sell
it for thousands and thus insCre

and is led to believe him dishonor-
able.
He does not know she has seen
the model and cannot understand
her change toward him, and she
gives him no opportunity to eX-
plain. Even when he saves her sis
ter from drowning she ignores him.
He gets pneumonia and when des-

At American Today

T. Tamamoto, one of the best
known Japanese actors both in
America and in his own far-off Is
land Empire, is seen in an import
ant role in the big Metro produc-
ton, The Silent Woman" starring
Edith Story.
This picture will be the attrac-
ton at the American theater today,
and relates a story of absorbing in
terest.
Tamamoto, as he is more famil-
iarly known, has appeared in many
Metro productions and is in great
demand whenever a japanese actor
is needed-be it an ambassador, a
statesman or servant-all parts in
which he has appeared on the
screen and stage.

efforts to play square with him, be
lievfng it to be a new strategical
move against his interests, and
therefore to be view with suspicion.
If that condition maintains, the re
suit will be a continuance Of the
tremendous labor turnover that
has proven so costly to manufac-
turers, decreased production and
fessened quality of production. The
only way for the manufactures to
do is to lay his cards on the table
and show labor that he is willing
to go all the way to demonstrate
that he is ready to shoot square
Whoever undertakes to bring to-
gether the employer and the work
er in the many plants where dis
affection now exists, must prove to
the complete satisfaction of the
worker that he is their friend.
Industrial readjustment is in
progress-no one can dare discard
in making that readiustment this
great factor-the new spirit of in
instilled in the worker
by his advantages during the war
period. Independence of spirit
sometimes means an antagonistic
spirit, something to be guarded
against and eliminated-the answer
lies in letting the worker know
that capital is with him, not
him"

Prominent Houston Man Says
'Money Couldn't Buy The Good
1t Has Done Me-

Money couldn't buy the good
Tanlac has done me and l gladly
recommend it for what it has done
in my case" says Hon. Archie r.
Anderson of Houston, eX-sherif of
Harris county, Texas, recently.
Mr.. Anderson is unQuestionably,
not only one of the best known but
one of the most popular men that
ever held public office, in the Lone
Star" state. After serving as dep
uty sheriff of Harris county for
twelve years, Mr. Anderson was
elected Chief of Police of the city
of Houston. He had occupied this
office only a short time when the
sheriff of Harris county died. Mr.
Anderson's friends persuaded him
to make the race for the unexpired
term as sheriff to which he was
easily elected. He was honored with
reelection seven times and served
the people in this important office
for fifteen consecutive years. Four
years ago, Mr.. Anderson declined
reelection and retired to private
life. He cast his lot among the peo-
pie of Houston and is a large prop
erty owner and foremost citizen of
this interesting and prosperous
city.

me even more good a few weeks

Frank keenan,, who assumes the

is conceded to be the foremost in
terpreter of character on the Amer

brings to the part all the wealth of
experience and extensive knowl :
edge that comes with an associa
ton of 81 years with the best in
dramatic art The claim of emf
nent critics that Frank Keenan, is
the one actor before the American
public who can successfully con-
vey a thought by the means of ia
ciaI expression is undoubtedly YER
flied by his performance in The
Public Defender"
Although having played leading
parts in many successful plays in
the support of the most distin-
guished stars of the eighties and
nineties, it was not until his en-
gagement by David Belasco in 1909
that Frank Keenan's genius as an
actor was accorded the recognition
it had long deserved. Almost over
night he sprang into fame through
mis- marvellous portrayal of Jack
Rance" in Belasco's never to be
forgotten production of The Girl
of the Golden West" which ran
for over a year in New York city.

Iheo. P. Dykes Dies From
Flu Near Boonesboro

Friends and relatives in this county
We're grieved to learn of the death of
Theodore Kelsey Dykes, which occur
red at his home near Boonesboro, but
IN Clark county, Thursday night after
: two weeks illness of influenza, pneu-
monia and jaundice. He was born
January 2s, 1885, being SO years old
the past January. His mother pre-
ceded him about five years. He is
survived by his wife, who was Miss
Salie Parker, to whom he was mar
ried about 10 years ago, and one son
Luther Henry, aged about seven
years, and three brothers, H. p Dykes
of Red House, and Benjamin and Ce-
Der Dykes, Of Lexington. Mr.. Dykes
spent practically all of his life in the
same community and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him. He
was noted for his industry and integ-
rity. He was member of the Chris
tian church, having united in early
MANHOOD.
The entire family seems to have
been particularly unfortunate as to
illness this winter. His wife and son
have recently recovered frominfuenza
and the families of both brothers in
Lexington are very i'll, Ceber just be-
ginning to sit up from influenza and
pneumonia, and Ben's baby is low
with the same disease, and the child's
mother is dangerously i'll nthe hospi-
tai. The other members of both fam
lilies are just recovering. The sympa-
thy of the entire community goes out
to the bereaved family in this their
trying hour. The funeral services

Union Service Sunday Night

There will be union service Sun
day evening at the Christian church
at 7:30 o'clock. This meeting will be
in the interest of the Church Commun-
ity Welfare League which was organ
lied last Sunday Afternoon. The aims
purpose of the League will be set
forth at this meeting in several short
addresses by the pastors of the city
and others. The question of a commu-
ity house vii not be brought up at
this meeting as there is much founda-
ton work to be done before this hope
can be realized. The Church Commun-
ity Welfare League has a much
broader scope than that of our own
town and the immediate vicinity as its
work is to extend to every part OF
Madison county.
The members of this league will
meet III the basement of the Christian
church at $50 o'clock Sunday evening
to hear the report of the committee OF
Constitution and nominations.
