HOW AN AMERICAN YOUTH GINGERS UP A STAGNANT ENROPEAN MONARCHY.

The kingdom was dying from dry rot;
 The people were stagnant;
 Business had gone to pot.
 And furthermore, intrigue was sap ping at the vitals of the nation while enemies were massing on it's iron tiers when the country finally sue cumbed to the inevitable.
 It was at this point that Jack Christie, a snappy, energetic, aDibi tious American youth, assumed the throne. It was through a strange set of circumstances that Jack got there, although he did not belong there. But though he was not the rightful king of the country he set himself to work with will to ginger

sudden end last Sunday afternoon
through compromise. The strikers are
to go back to work as soon as possible
at the same wages and they are'to con-
tinue to work for the same wages for
a year, or so. long as the cost of living
remains ITO. per cent above the pre-
war level. 1t is ss1greed. that the strik-
ers shah not be descriminated against
and that there shall BE no discrimina-

to be conferences witha view to secur-

and settlement of wage scales,' The
minimum wage until further ADJUST

That these times are strange and
unusual is not to be denied. All times
arc strange and unusual. We have
had times very similcr to these before.
People who remember the economic
AID social conditions existing through
out the country, especially in the
south, following the. civil war on up to
the breaking out of the world war,
ought to have q very comprehensive
I;idea of the revolution embraced lin
that period. There was wonderful
lleveling down and evening up during
that period, process that is going
on all over the world today. 1t is this
process which is more apparent now
than at other times that makes us
think that these times are especially
strange. But the world is going to
settle down to normal again, and this
country is going. to settle down with
it., And those who will fare, best
through it all will not be those who
are content to sit quietly and wait
until things get right" but those who
persistently seek diversion in useful
employment calculated to contribute
to the comfort, pleasure and happiness

No other one influence, perhaps, has
contributed more to the material well
fare of this section of the state than
the splendid banking facilities that
have been developed here. Our banks,
without exception, are credit to the
people in charge and to the people
generally. The bankers deserve credit
for the broad, liberal and progressive
lines on which they run their bust
ness. and their patrons arc entitled to
credit for intelligent discrimination in
making use of the facilities offered
We have no authentic statistics avail
able; hut we have information con-
tirmatory of the belief that there are
more bank patrons in York county, in
proportion to population than in any
county in the state. In this respect,
proportion of population having bank
accounts, we believe York will rank
high with all the countries of the United
States. IL has been n matter of Il

as nine people out Of ten who, from
time to time. were accustomed to have
as much as 500 or more in cash were
inclined to keep that cash in their
personal possession and pay it out as
cash. Now except for labor a cash
payment of even $25, is more or less
rare. The man who has business of
account is the exception rather than
the rule. Most OF the money; of the
country is now i'm the banks. where ii

that within twenty years at the same
rate of progress that has been appar-

alone but TO every class of the pODl-

praises the American Legion, officers
and enlisted men of the recent great

cue CT the civil authorities more than
four hundred strong. and he says that
all tho labor organizations came out

that the American Legion men were

and he feels confident that the 4,00O,-
900 men who were recently enrolled
in the service Of their country Can al

Though men sometimes get imr
patient of the law, it is well to re-
member that without the law there is
no protection to either life, property
or the pursuit of happiness. The man
or woman who foregoes the law is
skating on thin ice, with certainty
of breaking through. There are
those in high position, perhaps, who
violate the law and who, apparently
get away with it. But the getting
away is only apparent. The punish
ment of outlaws in high position is
just as sure and just as severe as eis
punishment of their more more hum
hnitators. ~
