to Central time Oct. II, according to a
proclamation issued late Tuesday by
Governor Sleeper.
There are many cities where NUM-
cipal action will keep the city on east

well to return to central time"
Therefore. l, Albert E. Sleeper,
governor OF the state of Michigan, dc
issue this my proclamation and l res
pecfully urge all communities, which
have not already done so, to take the
necessary action to re-establish central
standard time as official time on and
after October IL next. ! further re.
quest that on that date all time-pieces
which indicate eastern time be set back
one hour"

The owl is considered wise because
he boots at everything. Some men get
reputation for wisdom the same way.
It's easy to alarm a scared rabbit.
A woman can appear sad and get
sympathy for having a secret sorrow,
but man who appears that way is
called bore.

Coolies Breed i'm Filth,

Yes, undoubtedly the red agitator
is cootie, but one must remember
that where lice breed there is need
of general cleaning up. 1t doesn't
afford much relief to look over the
seams of your shirt and throw away
the surplus undesirables as Uncle
Sam did when he cast the soyiets in
to the Atlantic. A national de-lous-
ing TO be effective must clean up the
dirt where the yermin breed and
where still more deadly organisms
Turk. These coolies make you I'M,
comfortable to be sure and thew
cause the nation an agony of scratch
ing, but you can see 'em and hear 'em
as well as feel 'em and that gives YOU
courage that they can be handled. 1t
is the miserable microbes you can
neither see nor hear, yet which you
know are there in the dirt, which
threaten our national health and even
its very life Oh, sure! Congress
has given us several so-called house
cleanings, but it piles one infection
on top of another with layers of
white-wash. What is needed is a good
scrub brush and concentrated I've IN
stead of Whitewash brush and con-
centrated lies.-C. G. Campbell in the,

You will be amazed at the result.
In the second place, If the incentive
of possible profits is removed, who
will start enterprises that give SER
vice and supply employment? The
government Perhaps; but probably
only for the barest necessities.
The fact is that the inventive of
possible profits is still to valuable a
factor in progress to be dispensed
with.
The men who get the profits should
not be swinish; they should not long
er try to take all the cream and leave
to labor the thinnest and bluest of
skinned milk. It isn't decent, it isn't
honest, it isn't Safe, to do that any
longer. They should deal fairly with
labor and, even though it is under
compulsion, we believe they are now
learning to do that.
| But profits are not necessarily at
I the expense Of impoverished labor.
, Inordinate congestion of wealth, par
alleled by scanty wages that do not
yield a full living, comes where the
division between capital and labor is
not fairly made. 1t can be made
fairly without destroying the incentive
(of profits the incentive that has
made thousands Of workers cease to
be laborers and climb into the ranks
of employers.
And those who talk glibly Of abol-
ishing profits overlook the indebted
ness of society to the profit system,
for which they have as yet no accept
able substitute even in theory.-Du-

The Secret Of Success.
(By Thomas Dreier)

The secret of success is not a Sc
cret. Nor is it something new. Nor
is it something hard to secure. To
overcome more successful, become
more efficient. Do the little things
better. So work that you will require
less supervision. The least supervi-
sion is needed by the person who
makes the fewest mistakes. Do what
you can do and what you should do
for the institution for which you are
working and do it in the right way,
and the size of your income will take
care of itself. Let your aim ever be
to do better the work you are doing.
But remember always that you can

soul serve as your plant. Eat and
drink only that which will nourish'
your body, entertain only those
thoughts that will enrich your mind.
and if you feed your body with the
best physical food and your. mind with
the best mental food you will build
up Service Factory that will find its
products in constant demand. The
world is hungry for Quality Service.
1t wants to pay for it. 1t is paying
for all it can get. The market isanot
crowded. There is a chance for you
right now. There is a chance for you
right where you are. The time TO
start is NOW. Your reward will take
care of itself.

LET'S KNOW OUR
SELVES AND PLAY

A minister recently preached SER
mon on Human Cruelty He deplored
the existence of cruelty in man which
has existed from the earliest DAYS to
the latest. He quoted well-known
philosopher, who pictured us as atoms
OF impure carbon and water on this
dot which we call earth, dividing our
time between efforts to postpone the
moment of our own dissolution and at
tempts to hasten the dissolution of the
other atoms.
The way out is toward the construc-
tive utilization of valuable energy
gone wrong. AS much as we all de-
plore the energy used in war, it is
the same energy used more construc-
lively in the building up of industry,
in putting through valuable legisla-
ton, in refusing to be baff1ed in pur-
suit of scientific research Instead of
complaining to the Lord, be thankful
for that which, if recognized frankly
and utilized judiciously will contrib
ute in the largest possible measure
to progress. Our modern physcholo-
gists believe that wars will continue,
until we have better balance in the
expression of our energies. Eliminate
international strife :? Suppose you
can, and suppose you do. You do not
thereby eliminate civil strife.
The balance which is to prevent
war and, incidentally, alcoholism and
either excesses, is to be maintained by
just one thing play. Find adequate
expression in everyday adult life for
that play instinct which we did re-.
press when we were children and
which has always found adequate out
let in primitive peoples. Play and
not peace treaties vial cure that dam
gerous dammedupness of the natural
desire for human expression. Of
course that danlmedupness came to us
with our cities and our industrialism
Let's not forget that play is not leis-
ure, loafing, nor even entertainment,
Play is not something consumed by.
the human being; it must be created
by him-an outlet of self-expression.
That's play. Nothing less.-C Golfers
