Advice to An Employee.

1. You probably think it is
none of your employers bust
ness what you do outside of
working hours. Well, theoreti-
cally il isn't, but if you dissipate
so that you cannot do your work
properly, he will make it his
business to the point that in a
few days you will decide to look
for work elsewhere"
2. Watch your work and not
the clock. A good days work is
a short days work and the en-
ployee who is always afraid of
working overtime never gets to
the point where he can come and
go at will.
8. Give your employer more
than he expects and he may give
you more than you expect. If
you are careless about your
work your employer will be
careless about increasing the
amount in your pay envelope.
4. Don't kick. If you don't
like the way things are done,
suggest a better way or else
keep still.
5. Mind your own business
and the more business you will
have to mind. Don't worry for
fear some one else won't do their
work correctly. You aren't
drawing their wages. Do your
own work to the best of your
ability and you'll have your
hands full,

Thanksgiving Day.

Since the time of the Pilgrim
Fathers America has celebrated
this day. Sometimes, in our
prosperity, our feasting and our
merrymaking, the day loses its
significance and we forget the
conditions under which this hol-
iday was initiated, This year,
particularly, when most of us
are inclined to find fault with
world conditions, with the gov
eminent, and with things in
general, we should draw COM
parison between our Thanks
giving Day now and the first
Thanksgiving Day on that bleak
New England coast. What did
that remnant of the Mayfiower's
passenger list have to be thank
full for? 1t must have been a
great deal to them for it served
as an impetus for them to start
this national holiday. Why
were they thankful to their Gre
ator? For just two things;
namely, that some of them still
survived the rigors of that eli
mate and that they had manag-
ed to wiring a scanty harvest
out of that stony soil. How lit
tie satisfied we would be with
the conditions as they found
them-We who fuss about the
high cost of living when most of
us have comfortable homes and
plenty of clothing-we who wor-
ny and fret about the future
with our granaries and bins full.
We could indeed take an object
lesson from our Pilgrim forefa-
theirs. Aside from the blessings
on every side of us we should
be filed with gratitude that our
magnificent young manhood is
no longer a prey to the horrors
of war. That blessing, at least,
we have gained over last year,
and many more, would we but
take time in the daily rush Of
life to hunt for them.

The matter of changing
Thanksgiving Day from the last
Thursday in November to No
vember 11th-Armistice Day
is being widely discussed. Since
the signing of the armistice on
November 18th, 1918, there is
more cause for thanksgiving on
that day than any other day in
our calendar; therefore it is sug-
gested that this date be made
permanently the day of general
thanksgiving. Our appreciation
for the gathering of the fall
harvests would Be intensified by
the dual celebration and would
mean meal more to the people of the
nation than the now customary
date. It would eliminate a holt
day, combining the two into
one. The Post Dispatch believes
the people Of Richmond county
would heartily favor such a
change.
