GOOD BUSINESS

]" HE Dauphin County Prison
Boards decision not to fill the
n place of resigned store
keeper. whose duties it was found
could be performed BY another em-
ploye, indicates that its members are
interested more in the business man
agement of prison affairs than they
are in giving salaried places to po-
litical friends.
Also, the falling of in prisoners
by more than 100 a day and the
consequent savings to the taxpayers
are proof positive that prohibition
does pay from the money stand
point, because jail-keep is only
small item in the cost of arresting
and trying of prisoners, and the
economies effected by having 100
less men in jail every day in the
year with prohibition in force is an
argument in its favor that oppon-
ents of the new constitutional
amendment will have some difficulty
in meeting. we imagine.
The action of the Prison Board in
office is proof positive that county
offices are in good hands, for there
is nothing more tempting for the
man in public place than the con-
tinuation of conditions as he finds
them, especially when to do so per-
mits him to favor friend who has
favored him politically. 1t is a
good sign when officials find it in
their hearts to reduce working
forces.

PROFIT SHARING

~ FORGE w. PERKINS writes
1T an interesting article in the
current issue of Rotarian
Magazine. entitled THE Workers
Fair Share" in which he devotes
considerable attention to profit
sharing.
At first thought profit sharing
would seem to be ready solu-
ton TO the industrial unrest now
prevailing. inducing the worker to
produce as much as possible in the
hope of sharing in the profits, the
same as stockholders.
But there are two sides to pro-
fit-sharing. as there are to every
other proposal.
The stockholders of a company
share in the profits only when there
are profits to share. There are lean
years even with prosperous COM
panies, when there are not only no
earnings, but whore losses actu-
ally are shouldered either by
necessity or for the future good of
the concern.
In such cases, what would the
worker do who depended upon pro-
fit-sharing for part of his yearly
income"
Say he worked hard and really
produced much more than he
would under the present wage sys-
tenn. Say he had no responsible
ity for the failure of the company
10 earn a dividend, would it be
fair TO him TO tell him there were
no profits in which he could share 4?
And if this situation were to oc-
cur, as it is bound TO do wher-
ever profit-sha ring is attempted.
how is it going TO be adjusted?
Profit sharing is a very fine thing
when business is booming, but it
doesn't look so good from the
other angle.

When Hanover is mentioned the
loyal Dauphin countian should re-
call June 4, 1774, two years before
the Declaration of Independence, as
the date when the inhabitants of
Hanover township. our county, for
mally and in writing, declared the
acts of Great Britain ubiquitous
and oppressive" Although the shot
that was heard around the world
had not been fired in New England,
these Pennsylvanians resolved THAT
i'm the event of Great Britain at
tempting to force unjust laws upon
us by the strength of arms, our
cause we leave to Heaven and our
rifles" The men who signed that
resolution showed the way to their
neighbors of Middletown and Hum
melstown. who acted within q week,
and some of them died in Washing
toms army, others serving until the
end of the struggle at Yorktown.
The committee which drew up the
papers of the Hanover Associators
and placed themselves in danger of
their necks were Col. Tim othy Green,
James Caruthers, Josiah Espy. Rob-
ert Dixon. Thomas Copenheffer.
William Clark, James Stewart,
Joseph Barnett and John Rogers.
They were men who feared no king
and who helped make Pennsylvania
history. .--l&----iA

POULTRY SHOW
affair HERE TO
BEAT COLUMBUS

A feature of the Sumter county
fair, according to George o. Mar
shall, farm demonstration and assist
ant manger of the fair, will be a
public sale of pedigreed live stock,
to take place on Friday, October
II, at 2 p. m. At that time a choice
lot of Duroc Jerseys and Poland
China hogs will be offered for sale.
t is expected that there will he at
east rs animals in the lot, and the
number may go considerably beyond
hat figure.
According to Mr.. Marshall the live
stock and poultry exhibits at the
Sumter county fair will be most
creditable. After visiting the Mus
cogee fair yesterday, he stated that
the Sumter poultry exhibit will be
probably three times as large as that
seen at Columbus, with birds Of Just
as high grade. "The cattle exhib.
! it here will not be quite as large as
at Columbus" said he "buG the ami.
mails will be fully of equal standard
We will not have quite as many hogs
'ut will have number as fine as
he best shown there"

200 pounds of pork. The purebred
or high-grade hog takes the same
number of bushels of corn and
makes three hundred pounds of pork,
The purebred or high-grade cow
makes three gallons of milk out OF
the same quantity of silage that the
scrub cow uses to make a gallon
and a half of milk. These figures
re not meant to scientifically exact,
of course, but merely to Illustrate the
principle. The result is that the
armer gets more pounds of salable
roduct out of his feed when he uses
purebred sires at the head of his
eads and focks. He gets more
money and his family lives better.
But something else happens. When
he sells more pounds of better class
cf meat or more gallons of rich milk,
he feeds the city family better than
he did when he kept scrub stock
The final result of purebred sires is
hat the farmer makes more money
nd city family gets more and better
God, probably at lower prices.
The crusade, the experts say, even
ually will tend to result in reducing
he cost of living to the consumer
Jithout taking the difference out of
he pocket of the producer For that
eason, they point out, the man has
definite, money interest in the bet
ter sires crusade. While he can
hardly be expected to put the same
amount of effort into it that the live
stock breeder should, he is expected
to give encouragement and aid to
he program whenever the opportuni-
ty offers. And there will be no lack
of opportunity, particularly in the
smaller cities and towns where the
farmers are in close contact with the
city business men.

THE NEW BIG IDEA

1t is within the memory of middle
aged men that our great financial and
industrial developments depended up
on foreign capital, and English syn
dicates" and German syndicates"
were common enough throughout the
United States. But all that is chang
ed, and this country has loaned the
governments with which it has been
associated in the war somewhere
around eight billion dollars. Frank A.
Vanderlip, the New York financier, es-
Inmates that these loans. with the in
crease of foreign bank credits, makes
a total change in the international
credit situation measured by about
$12,500,000,000. Mr.. Vanderlip de-
clares that the questions confronting
the country at the present time, calls
for well considered opinions, "for we
cannot expect to have the government
have sounder Judgment than the sum
total of public opinion" He offers this
healthy advice: "Let US continue to
be altruistic. If We renders to the
world great service we can rest easy
about our reward. We have a great
opportunity. Let US see what we can
make out of tx.

CERTAIN POST CARDS
INJURE FLORIDA

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. %, 1919.
Mr. L. L. Lucas, Editor,
The Leader,
Tarpon Springs, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Lucas:
The Florida State Live Stock asso-
citation is appreciative of your sup
port of live stock development and I
take pleasure in handing you here
with copy of resolutions, including
one of thanks to the state press,
adopted at our last meeting.
The association does not ask you to
print these resolutions, but your at
tention is called to the one protesting
sale and distribution of post cards
which are destructive advertising to
the live stock industry and to the de-
velopment of your own territory, and
which to large extent nullify all the
boosting you are doing for your city
and community.
Photographs of big rattlesnakes,
long-nosed Florida razorbacks, and al
ligators eating men alive are the most
destructive literature any one can send
to a person who may be considering
moving to Florida to take advantage
of the many opportunities offered in
this state for raising live stock, es-
pecially as these photographs are rel
lies of ancient times before live stock
development was started.
Very truly yours,
R. w. STORRS, Secretary.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1919-01-30
SHOULD IMMIGRATION BE
CHECKED?

The committee on immigration in
the house of Representatives is consid-
ering radical changes in the immigra-
ton laws. Nobody appears to be at
all sure that Europeans, or Asiatics,
will wish to burden the affairs of the
United States by adding their pres
ence to our population in large num-
bers. Nevertheless, it is certain that
the country has about all it can under
take to do if it provides the right
kind of employment for the returning
soldiers, and keeps the rust off the
wheels of industry. 1t is estimated
that 100000 men were idle in the
United States before the selective
draft was put into operation. If this
estimate is even approximately cor
rect then the return of the soldiers to
civil life will mean great deal of I'M
employment unless measures are de-
vised to put the speed belt on indus
try.
The argument seems to favor check
ing immigration; and the further sug-
gestion is popular that the govern
ment should provide vast amount of
public construction. The carrying out
of Secretary Lanes land development
plans are regarded as important in
that they suggest a way by which SOL
diers can secure real home and a
piece of land, if they will apply them
selves to the task.-J. E. Jones.
