Program for Those Persoas Who
Think Santa cIsus Deception shouIa
Como to End

We have tried to work out a little
Christmas program for those who OBJ
ject to Santa Claus. We respect the
opinions of all who think the decep-
tion should be stopped and feel that
we ought to help them to arrange a
disillusionized and thoroughly harm
less Christmas what you might call
germlesss and renovated and disin-
fected and veracious joy season
which the children will take hold of
with enthusiasm without in after
days wishing to upbraid their parents
and hiss at them "You lied to us!''
We suggest, therefore, that the
children be called together on Christ
mas morning by the governor and ad
dressed as follows:
"Kids: We shall now enjoy our gift
giving. ! tore off few scads from
my roll the other day and handed
them to your mother, and she dived
headlong into the bargain counter
flood and for two whole days appear
ed not again, and when she did crawl
out, battered, jammed, ragged, torn,
bruised and old. she clutched to her
these few gimcracks, fol-de-rols and
highly unserviceable articles. We have
placed them upon these chairs so as
to divest the business of any stage
effects that might heighten the
pleasure in any way or give a false
impression. You are to understand
that I had to give up for these things,
and l wish to forget about it before
| feel real good inside again, and with
these few remarks we will now fall
to, and you want to be quick about
it, for want to read my paper in
peace."-Judge.

Quite Gap Between Grower and
Gonsun,er


Assessor Geo. w. Clark has return
ed from trip to Denver. where as a
member of special committee of the
State Tax Commission he went to
meet with the committee. Mr.. Clark
was surprised to find spuds retailing
in Denver at S3.35 cwt., while the
last sales in Montrose were for 30
cents.
He says in a restaurant baked po-
tato, not potatoes, was listed at 15
cents. He figures that at this rate,
if the portion weighed half a pound,
the restauranter was getting $50 per
hundred pounds. If the portion were
less, as it probably was, the price
was more per hundred
Apples were retailing for SO to S4

GOLDEN RULE APPLIED
TO BUSINESS
Paid in Real Dividends to This Big
Cincinnatti Clothing Concern

u
Cinoinnatti Clothing Concern
Cincinnatti, O., Dec 1.-THE Gold
en- Rule is the divine law governing
human relationships, accepted by all
religions and proclaimed by all proph-
cts and teachers of every creed, and
is the only workable industrial and
economic law in the universe today,
according to Arthur Nash, former
minister and president of the A. Nash
Clothing Manufacturing Company of
this city, who has injected the Gold
en- Rule into the conduct of his bust
ness.
Recently the 500 employees of the
company, actuated by the spirit of
the Golden Rule, agreed to surrender
their jobs for a month, either Janua-
ry or February, so that unemployed
workmen in the clothing industry
could be given employment.
In June, 1916, the company was in
corporated with a capital stock of
100000, and Mr.. Nash, as the prime
mover and principal investor, was
elected president.
In July 1919, the company moved
into more commodious quarters on
the strength of loan of $4,000
from a bank. Mr.. Nash called the
employees together and told them of
the loan, which he said was negoti-
ated on the basis Of his confidence in
them. With the Golden Rule pro-
claimed as the governing law of the
business, Mr.. Nash submitted a prof
it-sharing plan to the employees.
Their confidence in Nash was such
that the employees refused to accept
the plan, but said they preferred to
have their pay each week and were
willing to leave it to the manage
ment to figure out what they could
pay in weekly wages. Wages were
thereupon increased from time to
time. At the end of 1919 the COM
pany found that despite the wage in
creases and the enormous expense of
moving and equippng the new plant,
it had made net profit of $4,000
on an investment of 100000.
The actual condition at that time
was that the company was paying
higher wages, selling it's product for
less money and earning larger profit
than any of its associates in business.
Mr. Nash says that these figures
were submitted to the employees and
that he felt chagrined because it was
his belief that an unjustifiable profit
was made off the labor of others. At
the meeting Mr.. Nash said that wa
ges would be increased from 10 to 20
per cent. Later the profit-sharing
basis of arriving at just wage, as
the only solution of the problem, was
adopted.
By the plan presented to them, the
profits were to be divided among the
help on the basis of salaries earned,
twice a year.
The employees who earned more
than $50 week petitioned the COM
pany to distribute the workers share
of the profits on the basis of time
worked instead of on the basis of
wages drawn. The petition stated
that this would give those earning
the smaller wage an equal dividend
with those making larger sums. This
meant that the cutters and the Off
pressers, earning from $75 to $50 a
week, petitioned that the poorest
paid help receive the same dividend
that they did.

INSECTS MENACE
VALLEY CROPS;
HOW To KILL EN-

Bugs and insects preying on
garden and other crops will soon
become a menace to. the farms of
the Rio Grande valley If the eX-
periences of past seasons are to be
taken as a guide. County Agent
G. L. Crawford has prepared in
structions on the best and most
economical method of fighting the
insects.
To successfully combat injurious
insects, we must know something
about their habits. Insects are di-
yided into two classes, according
to their methods of feeding. One
class feeds by piercing the plant
with its proboscis or mouth and
sucking food.
Examples are plant lice and
squash bugs. This class should De
sprayed with a contact spray which
kills them by closing up the breath
ing tubes in their bodies. Kerosene
emulsion is a good spray for these
insects and is made as follows:
One-fourth gallon of soft water,
two ounces hard soap. The soap is
dissolved in the water by shaving,
then boiling with water. Remove
from fire and add one-half gallon
kerosene, mix thoroughly and add
about two gallons of soft water.
Apply with a spraying pump.
THE other class is known as the
chewing or biting kind and feeds
on the leaves of the plant. EX-
amples are cabbage worm and po-
tato bug. These insects may be
poisoned with stomach poison by
spraying the foliage thoroughly
with lead arsenate. Use about one
ounce of lead arsenate to one and
one half gallons TO water"
