cited in support of the demand for this change.
In connection with the movement for reduction
of armament the French general staff denies em-
phatically the charge of militarism against the ma

France requires a relatively large military estab-

One of the most satisfactory items, in the weeks

Immediately in several districts, and the conditions

TWO MILLING ENTERPRISES.

An interesting comparison was made in a recent
address at Cakes by Hon, Joseph A.. Kitchen, hide
pendent candidate for commissioner of agriculture
and labor. Mr.. Kitchen spoke of the experience of
the state of North Dakota with the Drake mill con
trasted with the experience of a private cooperative
concern with a mill at Sentinel Butte.
The state Of North Dakota bought the Drake
mill second hand for something less than $4,000.
!. incurred operating expenses and purchased guam
titles OF material for current and future use, among
which was a quantity of sacks, sufficient to last the
mill TOR 16 years. These operating expenses and
the cost of material were Jumped with the purchase
price Of the property, and securities were issued
against the property on the basis Of a little over
$lSO,O0O.00. The operating expenses for the year
1920 were over $4,000, the deficit incurred, 4 little
over $4,000; and the output Of the mill was at the
rate Of 500 barrels a month. The state therefore
had ON its books an investment Of $50, 600, and 4
shortage OF about one-fourth5 that amount incurred
The Sentinel Butte mill owned hy the orxani-
zation Of local farmers and business men with 4 ca
pacity three times that of the Drake mill cost about
one-third As much and running at capacity during
Ivy its operating expenses were only $1,000. IN
addition .t!, to this, the Sentinel Butte mill pays taxes
while the Drake mill does not. These facts were
brought out by Mr.. Kitchen in ! very telling way
IN order to tell the difference between the business-
like management Of an enterprise. conducted on its
merits BY people interested IN its success,, and the
Politicai management Of = state-owned enterprise

and under the protection of a white flag a German soldier stumbled into the American stronghold.
 Surrender he cried Gin the name of humanity and he told how, from the German trenches the agonized cries of the American wounded could be heard. But his message to the enemy was not that he would lay down his arms.
 "You go to heIl,'' he said.
 A few hours later American re- serves attacked all along the line, the Germans were pushed back and the little band uf survivors saved.
 On his return to the United States he was voted the congressional med- al of honor, the most coveted Ameri- can decoration for herOism, and a few months after the armistfce the German officer who called upon him to surrender made a public statement e,1tolling the courage and dogSed de- termination of his former foe.

pool and as a consequence have been able to
take care of themselves when in the water. 1t
would be impossible to calculate the real value
that these free swimming lessons given every
year to the youth of the city have been to
Perth Amboy.
Last winter, needing the desire on the part
of the women and girls to enjoy some of the
privileges that are offered men and boys
through the Y. NJ. C. A.. and in the absence
Of a Y. w. C. A. to provide for them (although
such an institution is nearer of realization
than some may tGnk). the Y. NJ. C. A. opened
its building for one day each week to the WON
en- and girls of the city. This innovation was a
success from the start.
Now, as a further development of this policy,
free swimming lessons are to be given to the
girls, and this includes all girls whether they are
members of the Y. M. c.. A. or not. The offer is
made solely as a service that the Y. NJ. c. A.
feels it can render the city as a whole. The
instructions will start Wednesday of this week.
All who desire to avail themselves of this OPP
portunity to learn to swim may do so.
1t is a mighty fine thing to be able to swim,
especially when one goes on the water more
or less frequently. as is the case with nearly
every girl and boy in Perth Amboy. If any
resident of this city browns because of failure
of the Y. M. C. A.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
LEAVING 1T

BY lodges and bitches, by labor
or fraud, we gather up riches, an
elegant wad; the roll we are show
ing has made life a grind: and then
when we're going we leave it be-
hind. All. that is the dickens, the
sting and the smart! 1t saddens
and sickens the misery heart. To
leave all the plumber for others &c
blow! What marvel, what wonder
we wall in our woe? The short
sighted niggard saves till he must
die, and I will be jiggered If l can
see why; amusement he lodges. all
fun he eschews. and drearily lodges
there by the news; to harvest
a nickel his form he'll exhaust; his
life is a pickle, a f1uke and a frost.
In Golfers he's slowing all coin he
can find. and then when he's going
he leaves it behind. The last of his
journeys has borne him abroad and
gifted attorneys camp down on his
wad. And wastrels and spenders
his heirs and their kin, for frivol-
Gus splendors dispose of his tin, So
it is with gr1eving the tightwads de-
part, their large bundles leaving, the
JOY of each heart. But over the riv-
no bundles are known, no miser
hearts culver at sight of a bone.
Some silvery pieces I've sailed away
to comfort my nieces when I'm in
the clay; but not in my keeping
such treasure you'll find that 1
might be weeping to leave it behind.

FOR A BETTER FEELING

That a decidedly better feeling exists be-
tween the railroad employer and employe was
evident on Thursday when the second wage re-
duction hearing was held before the United
States Labor Board in Chicag go. At the con-
clusicn OF the session the unanimous sentiment
seemed to be expressed in the words of +. w.
Sargent, counsel for the Chicago and North
western railroad: Lets pull the country out
Of the situation 1t faces today
This augurs well for the future. If the rail-
roads and their employees can accept such an
attitude surely capital and labor in every other
line of endeavor can do so. A cooperation
that is carried on in the give-and-take spirit
is bound to ccomplis results. 1t is just this
cooperation that the country needs most to-
day.
y Mr.. Sargent made another remark In refer
ence 20 the cooperation between the railroad
men and their employers that ought to cause
much thought. mo living man. he said, "ever
made a success of life on eight hours a day."
There are different ideas of success, to be sure,
but it must be admitted that the men who
have risen to the top in their trade, business or
profession have never stopped to count the
hours of work they have done in a day. From
the pupil in school burning the midnight oil to
learn his lessons in order to stand at the head
of his class, to the laborer in the mill and fac
tory who is constantly trying to improve his
output and become moIe proficient at his work.
there is no thought Of limiting the number of
hours required to accomplish the task.
The fact remains, however. that under our
modern system of industry many men DO
not care to become any more prominent than
they are. They are satisfied to live an ordinary
life, earn decent wages. see that the family Is
comfortably provided for and have ample time
FOR amusements. The responsibility that goes
with the management of a concern Is not at
~tractive to them. For such a man an eight
hour day for work is fully justified. He ought
not to be compelled to work longer. 1t Is the
logical division of the twenty-four hours. with
eight hours for sleep and eight hours FOR rest
or recreation.
But when any man asks for less than eight
hours for work he is not only not true to So
ciety in general, but he is untrue to himself.
He is not giving the world what 1t has q right
to EXPECT Of every able-bodied citizen. There
are certain obligations resting upon all OF US.
One of these obligations is to do our full share
OF production for the benefit OF mankind as a
whole. A man is q shirker who asks tor less
than eight hours to be devoted to work. a man
cannot. IN these days. deliberately cut down
his working period to less thaa eight hours
In eacn twenty-four, excepting Supda'. and stlii
retain his self-respect among his fellowmen
who are holding up their end in the great task
that lies before us all.

Q. Will an object weigh as much
at the equator as at the Poles?-
f. S. w.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
that strictly speaking 1.-The weight"
of an object should not include any
magnetic attraction, just as the buoy
ant force of the air should be elm
mated or corrected in determining
the true weight of an object. Aside
from a possible magnetic attraction
or any variation in the buoyant force
of the air. an object weighs about
one-half of one percent less at the
Equator than at the North or South
Pole. This is using the word

ing. The so-called weight measured
on an equal arm balance, or on any
ordinary scale using weights instead
of springs. would be the same at all
places. because the weights used on
the scales change their true weight
in exactly the same ratio as the OBJ
ject weighed.
