An Omaha newspaper man has

Of that city. Last spring he had 1t
painted. Not long ago the surface be-
gan to develop an amazing series OF
cracks like the "crOw's feet" about an
old mans eyes. The man greeted the
cracks with amazement rapidly becOm-
ing disgust. Every time he looked Mt
the car he lost his appetite and his
good temper.
The other day the car was taken to
the paint shop. It's owner was fully
prepared to hear that he had used the
wrong kind Of polish, that he had let
the car stand out in the sun. that any
thing and everything hnd spoiled the
paint except that the paint itself
was at fault.
The painter looked the car over.
'If you'll bring 1t in, I'll do 1T over
he said "The vnrnish must have been
bad"
1t was all over in two minutes. The
mans faith in human nature jumped

who backed his work with his wore
and made good his word.

OLD RIVALS CLASH ON
THANKSGIVING DAY

On Thanksgiving Day Hope and
Prescott will engage in one OF the
warmest contests of the season on
the local foot ball gridiron. Much
spirit is being manifested and both
teams claim to be in the best condl-
ton. Gee and White of Prescott,
who played left end, will be out OF
the game tomorrow on account OF IN
iuries received at Nashville, but a
strong man will fill this place.
At tomorrow's game the local fans
are asked to occupy the side OF the
field next ito the high school building
and the Hope fans the other side. Re
ports from Hope indicate that an
extra large crowd will come from
there.
The teams compare we'll in size and
records for the season. Dope will
probably indicate that Prescott has
the advantage, but Hope has devel-
oped considerably IN the last lew
weeks. All patriotic Prescott people
should attend the game and give the
boys all the support possible. They
have made a, good record for the sea-
son and let's uphold it to the last
ditch; let's win the game, but win it
fair.
All automobile owners in the city
are asked to have their cars as early
before the game as possible, on East
Elm street to give all free rides to
the grounds who otherwise would not
attend the game. We must have a
crowd and there are many people who
would go but will not if they have to
walk. Won't you do this much, Mr..
Car Owner?

justment of social conditions" said
Jasper T. Jones, director of the Coun-
cil's publicity service, to the repre-
sentative of The Butler County Press.
In proclaiming against a policy of
wage reduction the statement of the
Federal Council of Churches says that
employers who seek to reduce wages
on a plea of a falling market, execp-
tional conditions, or exceptional haz-
ard should open their books to public
inspection.
The statement condemns violence,
pleads for share in management for
labor, asks a relinquishment of war
time restrictions on freedom of dis
cussion and release of persons arrested
for conscientious objection to war.
Among the important portions of
the statement are the following
HIGH WAGES.
"The hoped-for reduction in the cost
of living has not yet materialized
and it is now evident that we are on
permanently higher price level. The
resistance of labor to general wage
reductions, even when accompanied
by reduced hours of work, should
therefore receive moral support from
the community, except where the de-
mand is clearly unreasonable. Wage
levels must be high enough to main
tain standard of living worthy of
responsible free citizenship in dem
ocracy. AS was pointed out in the
statement on Social Reconstruction by
the National Catholic War Council,
a considerable majority of the wage
earners of the United States We're not
receiving living wages when prices
began to rise in 1915. Real wages
are also relative to the cost of living
and vary with the purchasing power
of the dollar Actual wages, that is,
wages reckoned in power to purchase
commodities, have been decreasing for
several years in spite of wage increas-
es. There is urgent need of provision
by industry, under the guidance of the
Government, for some regular meth
cd of adjustment of wages and salaries
to the purchasing power of money
High wages are desirable as
general principle, since they mean, or
should mean, fairer share of the in
dustrial product, greater purchasing
power, and consequently stimulated
trade and greater happiness, health
and hopefulness for the workers and
their families. 1t should be kept in
mind that under machine production,
with a proper method of distribution,
all might work and all might share
in comparative plenty. EmR Royers
who plead a falling market, aggravat-
ed competition, Increased hazard, or
exceptional conditions in justification
of low wages or wage reductions,
should support their contentious by
opening their books and submitting
their figures to public scrutiny
UNEMPLOYMENT.
Unemployment is one of the TRACE
dies of the present industrial order,
which the war has demonstrated can
be controlled, or at least effectively
reduced, by the Government and CO.
operating voluntary agencies. Any

lem of unemployment should include:

must be recognized as being entitled
to as much consideration as employ
ers and their rights must be accomp-
lished by assuring the workers, as
rapidly as it can be done with due con-
sideration to conditions, fair share
in control, especially where they are
directly involved; by opportunity for
ownership, with corresponding rep
resentation; or by combination of
ownership and control in cooperative
production

ployers and labor organizations can

the right of the worker to full devel-
opment of personality.
HOUSING.

and industrial communities of the na-
tion has become serious because of the
cessation of building during the war,
and is resulting in overcrowding and

Above all, the housing standards set
