1t was characteristic Of Governor
Coolidge to express this opinion Of
the proposition for the government to

1T seems to me that such things
would be inappropriate at q time

He does not say the plan would b
inappropriate under some conditions.
He knows that q government should
make adequate provision for those
whose services It requires. that the
expense attending this plan would be
uncomfortable and he doubtless real.
ICES from recent experience the din
culties he and his family must UNDER
go without some such provision.
But he knows more than this. He
is descended from those who con.
quered the ruggedness Of New Eng
land. who prefer to cut their cloth
to their needs and be independent,
and who are fully competent to do It.
He comprehends the difficulties con-

More for Less

A Detroit factory reports that it is
turning out greater volume Of
product with a smaller force employed
five days a week than it used to when
a large crew worked six days. And it's
an even guess that the quality of the
product is better than it was at the
height of the war boom.
A boom is always accompanied
by a don't care spirit and at the
same time feverish fear that some
smart Teller is going to put something
over. Everybody thinks he is a little
smarter than the other fellow and
starts to prove it with the result that
productivity and honest labor and in
terest in ones work go by the board.
On the, other hand when unemploy-
ment begins to loom and a job is
worth doing something to keep, the
change. in volume and quality of the
workmans output Is Immediately
noticeable. An inclination to earn
ones wage is prompted by the fear
that somebody else may get that wage
If it is not earned. and competition is
again the role Of the employees as well
as of the employers.
When employers get more for the
money they pay in wages, they can
afford to sell their goods at better
terms, hence the ultimate consumer ia
in line to benefit as he has SO long
been in line to get hit by the price OF
waSteful and careless labor. Better
days are near!

Our Constitution
Hartford Times

When the trainers of the Constitution
had completed their work. which was
accomplished only by compromises and
agreements. they found plenty OF hos
tility to it. There were several States
where the Constitution won only by
the slenderest Of margins. And SO 1t
would be-with any attempt to set up
a system more suited to our present
needs. Whatever one set Of men devils
ed another set of men would feel COM
petent to improve upon. and so 1t al
ways will be. Perhaps it is well that
it should be thus, for it probably keeps
us from pulling the governmental sys-
tenn apart every few years with a
view to rebuilding it on some better
basis, when the proof is strangely
lacking that if we had almost any sys-
tenn we should find it in reality any
better. The government the Constitu-
ton gives us has its shortcomings.
but it as nearly approaches perfection
as any system that is likely to be set
up.

Her Gift

To America, her Country
She freely gives her all.
Her boy, so brave, and grand,
So noble. so true. and tall.
The boy who only yesterday,
Came st0rming in from play.
The boy who used to laugh
And drive dull care away.
She gives and freely gives.
This boy, a man today;
Though to her it is her life
But Liberty must have right of way.
She caresses the big brown face.
Romping, restless, and worldly free
Youth, Aimpetuous, and wild.
The sound of tramping feet.
And the drums lowly CALL
Comes softly to her listening ear,
And she understands it all.
Her boy, her treasure and her pride.
She knows must bravely go.
Americas answer must be heard
And she feels tbs better so.
Her gift! I wonder the unthinking
Can really understand the sacrifice
A mothers love. so tender and SO
Her gift for freedom. holy price.
This man tho only yesterday a child,
Now must truly answer to the test
And she knows well as she gives
Whatever is, is really best.

And perchance he never comes back
She viii be truly glad, this gift.
Was hers to give the world for

The girls are wearing now,
OF velvet, fur or duvetyn,
They suit my taste, / vow,
And whether rose or black or blue
Or orange. green or white,
Upon a pretty woman's head
They look exactly right.
A saucy feather at the side
Oft lends a piquant grace
