HUSTLE WHILE YOU WAIT.

The business depression, say experts,
has struck bottom and begun the upward
climb. 1t is going to be a long, hard
climb. however. and they prophecy that
there will not be much improvement be-
FIRE August. \ man connected with a
large retail drygoods business added to
this prophecy the belief that just now
everything was waiting for May /. If
the labor situation clears up, if settle
,s.ents are made between employer and
empioye without conflict, he believes 'ev-
eryone viii begin to jump"
Both forecasts are hopeful, and they
both point to one method of speeding up
the happy day-the method of hard work
and confidence.
Just sitting around and waiting for
the procession to get started doesn't get

The time when a man is out of work
or on short hours is not the time to NOPE.
It IS 2 time to use his extra hours in

be spading the garden, painting the

his job that he never had a chance to

LEYDEN. Mass, April 21.-A meeting
of citizens has adopted a resolution in
support of the public school teacher
whose character was assailed in the tcs-

Greenfield district court recently. The
clergyman was sentenced to imprisonment
for refusal to send his children to the
school, but after a day in Jail was re
leased on payment of a fine.
The resolution takes exception to the
clergyman's statement and asserts that
during the teachers residence of II years
in Leyden her character and reputation
have been above reproach.
Rev Walter Carroll will not send his
children to school in that town. Instead.
he has sent his three oldest children. who
