FACE AND FIGHT THEM ALL.

The world is all the time vexed with
problems. 1t has to face each one,
sooner or later-and fight each one
out. And that is the same with US
all.
We are puzzled with an increasing

rise above the acreage, to stalk above
the crowd-to be great
1t takes much more time, infinitely
more pains and patience, days and
nights of discoura cement and maybe
and waiting and - waiting - to be
great, tho. The easy way. however, is
the temporary way-full of disap-
pointment that breeds disappointment.
You must think the thing you want
to be-the man or woman you want
to become. Then face every problem
and fight the good fight to finish.
have a little motto pasted on my
typewriter. Here it is; Make no
small plans-they have no magic to
stir the imagination"
If you have imagination, If you can
see yourself stronger and more cour-
ageous with the oncoming of every
new day, you will be adding equip
mnt to your character which will
serve it faithfully when dire emer-
gencies come unawares.
Then will you be able to face your
tdSkS without cruin piing IN heart, and
fight them out to a grand result.

hear of anyone who ever distinguished

faced every fight-big or little-and
who won more than he ever lost??
It is easy for any intelligent person

THE CONFERENCE PLAN.

The national conference on unem-
pIoyment has recommended that en-
ployers reduce the hours of their
forces in order that the idle may have
share OF the work. This solution of
the problem doubtless will appeal to
the labor unions. but not to the busI-
ness interests of the country nor 20
the general public. The plan would
be tolerable, says the st. Louis Times.
to benefit were as deserving of a job
and a wage as those asked to divide
employment with them.
That such a condition prevails at
this time cannot be for a moment
eontended. There are many classes of
idle men in industry's world today.
Some are capable and eager to labor,
but cannot have the opportunity;
some demand employment on their
own terms as to hours and pay an ]
the selection of their fellow toilers.
Many will accept only that class of
work they wish to do, even tho there
be larger need of their services in

type might well be held worthy of a
portion of whatever employment can
be parceled out and passed around. 1t
would be the height of injustice to
faithful and efficient workers If they
were put on half-time in order that
their opportunity to support them
selves honestly might be shared by
the other kinds of idle men.
Such a course would be unfair 20
business. too. One of the needs of the
present time is greater production al
comparatively low cost. This would
be made impossible thru the disor-
gan.zation OF working forces by any
such expedients as this proposal of
the conference represents. What the
suggestion apparently would bring
about is at least part-time employment
for everybody; it actually would cause
a clogging of the machinery of indus
try; make idleness and poverty and
dissatisfaction more widespread and
create new perplexities for govern
ment to ponder over.
Increase of profitable employment
will come when very few changes Of
the present state of affairs have been
brought about. There must be some
thing of stability in prices Of staple

determination to make revival of busi-
ness paramount to victory of contend

The conference at Washington cannot
work these changes from existing con-
litions. This task is a Community

dividuals. Its achievement will bring
good unmixed with harmful or men
acing influences.

THE STRIKE OUTLOOK.

The rail brotherhoods, it is re-
ported, have voted overwhelmingly in
favor of strike against the wage re-
ductions ordered by the railroad labor
board last spring. Yet the belief ap-
pears to be general thruout the coun-
try that there will be no strike. In
fact the leaders of the so-called Big
Four are said to be using their influ-
ence to prevent a walkout, and they
have some hope of success.
But it is to those very leaders that
the present unrest among the work
ers is attributable. They were the
ones who browbeat congress into the
passage of the Adamson law, who
bullied the director general of rail-
roads into the grant of wage increase
after increase without any thought Of
the compensation received for similar
work in other industries, and who
have constantly instilled into the
minds of the workers the conviction
that their organizations were power
full enough to win any demand they
might care to make.
Left to themselves, the rail workers
might have discerned the process of
deflation that is taking place not only
in commodity prices but in the price
of labor as well, and have realized
that they must accommodate them
selves to the law of supply and de-
mand. But the leaders have bred a
contempt among their men for nat
ural economic laws and have persuad-
ed them that they are a law unto
themselves so far as wages and con-
ditions OF employment are concerned.
Those leaders now seem to perceive
that they have been playing with n
fire that has got beyond their con-
troll. With unemployment conditions
as they now are, and with public SEN
| timent largely alienated from their
cause, they know that a railroad
strike today would not only fail of its
purpose but would bring suffering to
those involved in it.
Before the railroad employees sep
arate themselves from the payroll it
might be well for them to disregard
all advice that may be offered by
high salaried professional leaders .
and make some independent observa-
tions of their own as to labor condi-
tions in the United States. They owe
4 it not only to themselves but to the
families dependent upon them to find
out If there are not men now unem-
ployed in sufficient numbers to take
their places on the road; if, as a mat
ter of fact, they are not getting more
in wages than similar crafts in other
industries; if the wage levels on the
roads today are not far higher in pro-
portion to the cost of living than the
levels before the wartime increases
began; and If they are willing to in
flict on the country a loss many time:
in excess of their own gain thru q
restoration of the 1920 wage. which
would certainly ensue after strike oi

rich in his day and generation Jesse
inherited an extensive patrimony. ne

years he has dragged himself froIn MS

evening he has dragged himself back
to the bed again. Long ago Jesse
patrimony was well dissipated; he re-
tains only a fragment of it. But years
ago, in a moment of shrewdnesS.'. ne
made rare bargain. He disposed OF
one of the few remaining pieces of his
real estate to brother-in-law. The
consideration was that as long as Jesse
lived the relative, his heirs or assigns,
should keep a roof over Jesse's head
and provide for his physical needs.
The brother-in-law is long since de-
ceased, but 1t is in the bond that his
estate must feed and house Jesse, and
it does so. Meanwhile Jesse each
morning drags himself from his bed

out all day upon COW barn and

That this might be, the pioneers

Braved countless dangers, forests wild,
To bless with peace little child,
Took arms against a mighty foe
And smiling died that men might know
Beyond all covetous desire
A home roof and happy fire.

The revival Of building seems to be
general. According to reports re-
ceived by building trade journals the
number OF building permits issued in
the United States during August
showed a gain Of S7.4 RAr cent over
those of August 1920. AS further
evidence of resumption of building
activity, brick manufacturers of the
Havershaw district Of New York. al
tho they are producing 10000, 600
brick a month, are unable to supply
the demand. Reports from 130 of the
largest lumber mills in Louisiana

WHITES DEFEAT
MAROONS BY 20
Good Game Played BY High School
Team in Which Stanley Wolfe
Makes Only Touchdown.

The Whites defeated the Maroons by
a TO score in a good football game
played by the two high school teams
yesterday afternoon at the junior base
ball field. The only touchdown of the
game was made in the secnd quarter.
when Stanley Wolfe made the neces-
sary yard by qoucking the line on the
fourth down. Jimmy Gerelds captained
the Maroons while Jimmy Johnson led
the whites. Both teams displayed ev-
cellent form and the game was hard
fought throughout.
Jimmy Johnson was the individual
star, the speedy little quarterback
making many gains for the Whites, as
Well as being adept at passing. He
also knfcied goal after his teams only
touchdown. Marsh and Wolfe also
made some good runs. Stanley went
over for one touchdown and came
within several yards Of making another.
Hoyt for the Whites and Russy for
the Maroons were right there with the
good on the tackles
The Maroons were kept on the 6e-
fensive most of the time. But even
at that their line was impregnable
when their goal was threatened, except
on one occasion. During the third
quarter, Jimmy carried the ball to the
Maroons' courtyard line. Gum inter-
cepted a pass by j. Johnson; however.
the ball went over to the Maroons and
their goal was soon safe. Again, dur
ing the first part OF the final quarter,
the Whites made big gains on line
bucks The oval went to the Maroons
near their goal posts and was snapped
back to Stearns, who kicked out of
danger with a beautiful punt.
The lone touchdown was made in
the second quarter. Stanley Wolfe ran
down the field for twenty-five yards
Gallagher was substituted for Bogart,
but failed to report to the referee,
which caused the Maroons to be pen
anzed two yards. The Whites made
one yard on three downs, and on the
final. Wolfe went over for a touch
down. Jimmy Johnson kicked goal.
The high school students were out
in full force to root for their respective
teams. Marion Bishop was sponsor for
the Whites and Mary Danields for the
Maroons. Lineup:
