THE FIVE DAY WEEK.

OHieers Of the United Mine Workers Of America
say that at the national convention of that body,
to be early in September, there is going to be
a demand made for a 3O-hour week the working
time to be divided into ive days OF six hours each
Along with this short day and short week combina-
ton there is to be a demand for wage increase of
80 to 60 percent over the present scale.
Along with this remarkable proposal must be
placed the demand of 10000 union painters and
decorators in New York city who. though not de-
Sandng such short hours the miners, have ac-
tuary gone on strike to obtain fve-day week,
thus precipitating the hve-day movement in the
United States.
These demands are naturally regarded with keen
interest by the majority Of Americans, who would
rejoice just much the miners and painters
In the prospect. say Of a eight-hour day and six
day week but who do not any immediate pos
sibfIity even Of that Production demands at least
that much work from the present labor supply.
Where is the farmer who puts short day

or merchant or banker. who attain that de-

hopes ever 10 get her work done in 80 hours

COOPERATIVE BUYING.

The Chicago council OF social agencies has ap-
pointed a committee TO investigate ways of mprov-
ing the buying methods OF welfare organizations. II
is believed that if there We cooperation in this mat
ter charitable institutions that city could save
a total OF 800, 900 year.
Under present conditions the purchasing authori-
ties Of the various welfare organizations are not
even acquainted with another There is no
definite policy in regard buying supplies Eff
cheney and experience acquired by one buyer are
not available TO buyers for other agencies. Each
organization acts alone and in comparative ignor-
nee OF the purchasing activities of the others.
This foolish the face Of It, Their wants are
all similar settlements homes" hospitals, chari-
table agencies and other benevolent institutions all
need food clothing fuel and institution supplies
Quite often their office requirements are very much
alike.
Social agencies are practising cooperation today
more than ever before They uniting in discus
sion Of many Of the problems they variously
concerned with order to avoid duplication and
waste OF effort To cooperate in their buying IS
another step in the right direction.

AN ODE TO 4 WOULD-BE FISH
ERMAN.

y
(By Reel EiShcrman.)
South Bend has a druggist
Landon is his name
He claims TO be an expert
At the fishing game
With a brand new tackle
He hied him TO the lake
And promised his friends
A string Of fish he'd take
He fished throughout the day
And he fished through all the night
But friend who saw him
Claims he never had a bite
Tired, worn and weary
He rowed 10 the shore
And swore by seven kind of pills
That he would fish no more
He has laid away the fshing-rod
The hooks. the line and spoons
Fer he is as lucky at fishing
AS gathering mushrooms.

why Daylight LaM Failed.

The Thrift magazine says that the
secret has leaked out that the real
reason the farmers were opposed to
the daylight saving plan was that
they could not get the ROSTERS TO
adopt it. Under the new plan, IN
stead Of the ROSTERS waking up the
farmers, 1t became necessary for the
farmers to wake up the ROSTERS
This suite narlrally aroused feelings
of mutual antagonism, No farmer
relished the task of going out each
morning while the moon is stu
high in the heavens and cutting
barnyard full OF ROSTERS on me
perch. So there was nothing TO dc

NEW EXPRESS PACKING RULES.
All Shipments of % Pounds Must be
Packed in Wooden Containers,
Or Fiber or Pulp Board, Etc.

People in DEBORAH and all over the
country for that matter who send
packages by express will have new
rules to observe after Dec. 10, ac-
cording to agent j. Fl. Neff of the
local Office.
He states that all shipments sent
by express weighing over % pounds
must be packed in wooden containers
or cartons of fibre-board, pulp
board, or corrugated straw-board
material, of specified test strength ;"
This means, according to Mr.. Neff,
that after Dec. 10, packages over the
rs pound limit will not be accepted
for forwarding by the American
Railway Express Co. handling the
express business of the entire coun-
try as agent of the Railroad Admin
istration, if only paper wrapped. Nor
will ordinary paper boxes wrapped
or unwrapped, be accepted as suit
able protection for these heavier
ne les however,
do not affect shipment under %
pounds.
Mr.. Neff expressed the opinion
tAat these new rules will not work
any hardships on shippers, but
should operate distinctly in their in
terest, as the rules will provide adj
ditional safeguards for merchandise
in transit. The new order does no.
affect the movement OF food products
by express, which are ordinarily
shipped in crates or barrels.
Before the war it was possible for
car messengers to spread their
freight on floors of express cars
without much congestion, but TODAY
dozens OF through cars are running
between the big cities and every
one Of them packed to capacity. This
has made it necessary for express
shipments to be stacked, hence this
new order by the company.

Total

Considering the small amount re-
quired of each township and town,
it seems that the county's quota
could be raised with very little eff
fort. The contributions will be en- !.
tirely voluntary; and it becomes all
Americans to pay tribute to- the
memory of it's greatest citizen, and
We should all be glad to participate
in a substantial memorial to his
name that history may know of the
wonderful influence \ Theodore
Roosevelt was in the world for good.
for high ideals and for the develop
ment of character.
The township and town chairmen
are being notified of the amount OF
the quotas; and, to facilitate mat
tiers, it is suggested that, at the time
of taking the subscriptions, they be
paid in cash. Subscription lists can
be turned in to any of the banks. to
be forwarded to the County Chair
man, who will in turn make an ac-
counting with the lists to the State
Treasurer of the Roosevelt Memoir
ial Association. The present plan o.
the Association is to issue Ger.
tificate of membership in the
Roosevelt Memorial Association to
all contributors. The drive will be
made with an idea of finishing ii as
early in November as possible.
The movement is entirely a non
partisan affair, and the appeal is
made to all true Americans.
