SWEETENING THE PRICE

Omaha (Neb.) housewives may
have sugar for few days. Over
$1,000 pounds of the precious carbo-
hydrate, owned by spectators in that
city, but which had been seized by
the government, has been released
for sale. The gamblers agreed to
place it on the market at a price to
bring them a profit Of only two cents
per pound
Even at that the spectators made"
$l340 of "easy money" The sugar is
not a bit sweeter than when these
men boarded it, but the housewife
will have to pay $1340 more for it.
In this case the gamblers played
for much higher stakes and lost only
because the cops broke up the game
after they had dealt themselves the
cards. Nevertheless they are to be
allowed, with the approval of the gov
ernment officials, to take out of the
pot some $1,000 more than they put
in, and it will be collected from the
consumers.

WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME BE7

A problem of Importance confronts
the city council the settlement Of
which cannot long be deferred. Some
time since the engineers and firemen
at the municipal water works plant
asked for an advance sufficient to
bring their wages up to the scale
adopted by the local union which is
paid by all fair employers in the city.
The council, while admitting that by
retaining experienced and skillful
men more than the extra money asked
for would be saved in coal cOnsump-
ton, claims that the city finances are
in such condition that the advance is
impossible. The men are becoming
restive, and unless a settlement is
soon effected they may take a va
cation. Should this occur it would
be indeed calamity the extent of
which few realize. Besides leaving
the city absolutely without fire pro-
lection it would deprive thousands Of
their only source of water supply for
domestic consumption. If our neigh
boring city of GAINESVILLE could devise
means to raise the pay of its deserv-
ing employees why cannot our equally
intelligent city dads do the same?
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-06-25
SLAVES DRIVING SLAVES

They say the most brutal slave
drivers in the days Of slavery were
the slaves who were elevated to over
seers of their former fellow slaves,
for they would try to show their ap-
probation to their masters for this
privilege granted them by taking it
out in sweat and blood of their former
associates; also by bounding and
making their very existence miserable
and mean. There are a few of these
overseers, or foremen, still in our
midst; and although we live in the
twentieth century they live, mentally,
in the fifteenth. They believe man
has no rights that he may call his
own, but stand over him like the
guard of old and goad him on.
Is it not natural that discomfort
and i'll will should exist when the rep
resentatives Of corporations adopt
this attitude? We have heard bust
ness men say that this was not the
policy of their firm, but nevertheless
these conditions exist in some shops
and the men believe it is a case of
"passing the buck" and that the
powers that be are not sincere. Still
when these men affected by this con-
dition ask for a remedy and demand
that they should be treated as free
men, you hear the old refrain, "You
are trying to run our business" etc.
But, in fact, it is case of an en-
ployer, or his representative trying
to tell the workers they are not al
lowed to exercise natural right.
This evil branches out into many
ramifcations, and if the worker is to
believe employers desire to eliminate
discomfort in their plants, this is one
evil that must be eliminated Don't
put slave drivers lin the full sense of
the word) as overseers and then plead
ignorance of the fact. If you believe
you should be respected like man to
man by your employees, act so toward
them. You will reap as you sow;
don't SOW discomfort and i'll will and
expect to reap cooperation and good
will.-Machine Shop News.

PUMPING STATION MEN QUIT
Sixty-Five Engineers and Firemen
Walk Out at Sugar Grove

Lacaster, Ohio - Sixty-five union
engineers, firemen and oilers en-
ployed at the pumping station of the
Ohio Fuel Supply company at Sugar
Grove, went on strike Saturday when
the company refused to reinstate six
men who were discharged.
The underlying cause of the trouble
according to J. w. Thomas of Column
bus, business agent Of the union, is
that the men We're released because
they were active in union organiza-
ton and were officers of the Sugar
Grove branch of the local.
The officers of Local 80 are anxious
that the public should not confuse the
Logan Natural Gas & Fuel company
with this trouble, said Thomas. The
Logan company has been exceedingly y
fair toward labor.
Apparently no settlement of the
difficulty is in sight and both sides
are standing firm. The union officials
say that with the small number of
men at work the required amount OF
gas cannot be furnished and that
Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton and
other large cities will be cnt off,
while company officials claim the
capacity of the plant can easily be
maintained by so-called union men
now working augmented by the nom
union workers added since the tr1uble
occurred.

needs. 1t helps put the natural peach
bloom glow of health in the cheeks and
send streams of strength and energy
flowing through the bodies that need
assistance to reach the full physical de-
velopment which Nature intended they
I attain.
Not only for the young and growing
are vitamines needed to build health
and strength, but they are equally
needed by parents who are weakened,
rundown and lacking in energy, with
out knowing the real reason why.
Vitamines, as contained in Vitamon,
represent that substance lost from most
everyday foods which is absolutely
necessary to build up the tissues As
fast as they shrink and die out and to
promote a powerful resistance against
disease.
A remarkably beneficial effect is
usually produced in a very short space
of time. In fact, the tremendous
health value of Vitamon as a true
tonic, nerve and tissue builder is be-
coming so generally recognized that its
use promises to quickly become world
wide.
Results in every case are absolutely
guaranteed by a refund of the purchase
price. Vitamon may be obtained in

Don't Garry Much Pocket Money

most practical suggestion toward helping
straighten out the tangles in the economic situa-
ton is given in the current issue Of Forbes
Magazine On. W This suggestion is simply that
everyone get into the habit of emptying his pock-
cts weekly and take every dollar he and put
it to work for him in the bank.
This practice, more rife today than ever be-
fore, of carrying around large amounts of cur
rency is an economic crime, says Forbes Maya
zine 1t tends to increase the costs of living. It
checks the development of the nations resources.
1t reduces the banks ability to furnish credit to
the industrial and business world. It forces in
terest rates up. 1t fosters caution, even pessim-
ism, among the banking fraternity, the holders
of the nations purse strings. And it hurts the
workman by reducing the amount of business
which could and would be done were money and
credit more plentiful in banking channels. 1t
will hasten the business depression which nearly
al experts declare is bound to come sooner or
later. And, consequently, it makes for unem-
Dloyment.

The Rev. Mr.. James r. Conner.
widely known minister and author,
journalists and publicity, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio. recently made an inves-
tigation of Vola-Tonic, Builder of
Strength" He called on Cincinnati
people whose testimonials about VIOLA
Tonic appeared in the Cincinnati pa
pers to see if the statements that ap-
peared there were true. Finding the
testimonials true in every respect, the
Rev. Connor took Vola-Tonic himself
and has been greatly benefited.
Il kept reading in the newspapers
about Vola-Tonic. and was so impress
ed that l decided to find out about
this medicine" the Rev. Mr.. Conner
said. so l kept the names and ad.
dresses of several Cincinnati people
who had made statements about VIOLA
Tonic and l called on these people.
After the first call l was fully
convinced that Vola-Tonic must be a
good medicine, but l made several
more calls. Then l decided ia take

Following Your Own Principles

Too many of US are influenced by what "they
are doing, saying, or wearing" The 'they"
being the majority or the others that make up
the circle of acquaintance or friends.
Why not be actuated by what 81" believe is
right, appropriate or in keeping? Why not lay
out the plans of your life along right lines, ad~
here to them, and courageously ignore the folly,
mistakes and wrong conceptions of life, of the
hundreds of 'theys?'
Independence of determination, of action, of
thought, word and speech does not mean that
you are eccentric self-centered, or snobbish. 1t
implies that you have the manhood and woman
hood to direct your own life in channels you
know are true and in keeping with your own sta
ton in this world.
The "theys" too often induce you to indulge
in extravagances, luxuries, foes and whims be-
cause you haven't the courage and resolute moral
backbone to say no. What lot of time, money
and worry would be saved if we guided our own
destinies and refused to ape after the "theysG'
How much happier we would be if the controll-
ing factor of our lives would be our own wills
and not the seductive influences of others!

many everyday foods are utterly
lacking in a nourishing, health
givingsubstance calledvitomines,
which is absolutely essential to
build muscle, tissue and brain.
No wonder that without this nourish-
ment, one out of every three children
becomes weak, puny and anaemic-fails
to reach proper weight nd development
and is constantly dull, nervous and
fretful. But it is not their own fault
if they are backward in their studies,
restless at might, sallow complexioned
and apparently lacking in energy to
help around the house
Through cooking, canning and baking
as well as by the peeling of vegetables
most of the health-giving vitamines are
lost from such everyday foods as white
bread, potatoes. turnips, carrots, pol
ished rice, boiled or pasteurized milk,
picked and sailed meats and many
others.
So even three hearty meals a day
with plenty of fresh air and exercise
are not enough to make strong tissue,
Arm flesh and active brains il the foods
do not contain plenty of vitamines, and
as a result there signs of weakness,
fatigue and general lassitude.
In order to make up for this lack in
our everyday foods and supply the vital
elements the system must have to over
come weakness and build vigorous
health, physicians are now pr cribing
vitamines in concentrated tablet form
known as Fitamon. When taken along
