AGAIN NO REDUCTIONS IN
WAGES

high living costs continue so must the
advanced wages or bonuses that they
called into being
Moreover, the wage earners think
they are entitled to a progressive
betterment of their material condi-
tion in life. We think employers could
better concern themselves with an ef-
fort at remedying the conditions un-
der which extortion and profteering
of the rankest sort are beng prac-
ticed upon the whole people. Just
now, we are learning to keep the
home fires burning is becoming more
and more expensive not so much b.
cause Of wages of building trades or
coal miners as because of greedy
combinations in building materials
and coal.
We are glad to say that most Of
the shoe manufacturing concerns have
the good sense to realize that there
is no present justification for a re
duction in the wages of shoe makers.
1t is only a few narrow-minded and
short-sighted ones who persist by
making the attempt. Their economic
vision is obscured by holding an inn
mediate dollar very close to the optic
so close that they fail to see that
other men are getting ready to use
other dollars in mere active and pro-
ftable ways.

All automobile owners shortly must
equip their ears with anti-glare lens

enacted by the last general assembly,
and which goes into effect August 16.
The law provides that State Highway
Commissioner Leon G. Herrick shall
determine just what anti-glare lenses
and devices shall meet the states re-
quirements. As a result, the state
highway commissioner has named an
advisory committee which arranged
for a series Of tests and investiga-
tions now bein,g held at Ohio State
University to determine just what
lenses and anti-glare devices shall be
used throughout the state.
The Pence law stipulates that mo
headlights shall be used on any mo-
tor vehicle upon the highways except
after the installation of device to
prevent glare, which device has been
certified and approved by the state
highway department" The law
further declares that lights on motor
vehicles "shall throw sufficient light
ahead to show any person, vehicle or
substantial object upon the roadway
straight ahead of the motor vehicle

DUCKS PICKED CLEAN
WHILE SLEEPING
OFF CHERRY JAG

Now that canning season for cher
ries is past we can tell story which,
had it been chronicled earlier in the
season, might have resulted in an un-
heard-of demand for the red berry, and
with corresponding rise in price. The
truth of the following is vouched for
by prominent Medina woman whose
veracity we have no reason to doubt;
and who was visitor at the heme
where the accident" occurred. The
story runs thusly:
A Mansfield women opend can of
cherries and discovered that a defec-
tive can rubber had been used, which
allowed the fruit to work." rendering
it unfit for human consumption.
She Immediately threw them into a
pan and set the utensil out in the back
yard, wherein quacked a half dozen
full-grown ducks.
"A halt hour later glance out in the
yard revealed the fact that all six of
the ducks were lying stiff; to all ap-
pearances dead. Thinking the can
ned cherries had poisoned them and
thanking her lucky stars" that the
family had escaped certain death, this
Mansfield host called her Medina vis-
itor and together they dry-picked the
ducks, saving the downy feathers for
future pillows. After the ducks were
picked they were laid in a pile, to
await the coming of the gentleman of
the house to whom had been assigned
the duty of burying aforesaid ducks.
With evening came the head of the
house and upon receiving his orders
departed 10 rthe back yard, carrying
pick and spade. He returned shortly
disgust written all over his countc-
nance-and it was justified by an in
vestigation, which revealed that the
ducks were all walking around the
barn yard sans feathers and down
victims of mean trick while merely
under the Intoxicating influence of the
worked cherries.
