Wages and Prices

1t is evident that wages and prices
are enemies. The Shipping Board has
a lot of wage troubles upon it's hands,
and controversy has developed into
a strike against the government. The
Shipping Board finds that the high
freight rates are running shipping, and
they claim that lower wages are nee
essary if rates to shippers are to be
reduced The condition which the
government faces is identical to that
which individuals encounter in every
walk of life. It is the same thing
with the railroads and the industrial
plants. All government statistics show
that prices are gradually coming
down. Still President Gompers of the
American Federation OF Labor has
issued threatening statement as to
the dire results that may be expected
if wages of working people are low
cred. Mr.. Gompers says that the
capitalists are in control Of the stu
alton at the present time, but he is
sure that this will not last long. Mr..
Gonpers is as thoroughly "irrecon-
cilable" in the belief that wages can
not be reduced as is Judge Gary Of
the Steel Trust, that they will be. The
stubborn resistance of both of these
great leaders reminds one of the case
of the prisoner who was being visited
by his lawyer. The latter said COM
fortingly: "Why they can't put you
in jail" "Don't you think they can't"
replied the prisoner, 81 have been here
already nearly twenty-four hours
waiting for you to come to tell me
that they can't lock me up"

faire. If we are to meet the full ri
valry of the world, we must rest
chance for success upon our ability
to produce men who, in character, in
trained capacities, and in. radioactive
imagination will outmatch those
whom they are to meet. This new
America, as the old, will contribute
to the world raw products with most
generous hand. But the ultimate re-
source of the Nation is not that
which lies within the ground but that
which vibrates in mans brain. There
fore out of the struggle and torture
that we shall pass through, and the
reverses and triumph that we shall
meet, there should evolve the con-
ception of America as the centre of
the worlds thought, an America that
will give that leadership and direc-
ton to the scientific, literary and Soc
ial thought of the world, that, we
pride ourselves we have recently
given to it's political thought. Our
status in this war gives us place of
moral ascendancy from which if we
are great enough to be humble we
can become real masters Of men, con-
ouerors of the invisible kingdom of
mans mind.

UNCHANGED

Time flies; Fear dies; so also Doubt
and Pain,
Of friends we thought so true, how
few remain!
IT'S like a pictured scene that passes

Before ones eyes, and soon fore'er is
gone,
Then, in the silent moments we can
The joys that We're, but never more
may be.
The vanished hours-the happy days
long sped
We linger with them as with loved
ones dead.
Consoling thought, that, spite mans
wrong or blame,
Gods Love and Mercy are for us the
same!

Synthetic Flavors May
Gust Real Fruit

There is danger that we may soon
forget the taste of fruit and flavors in
general. In the last few years chemis-
try has made marvellous progress in
manufacturing synthetic favors. 1t is
much cheaper to manufacture the
flavor of peach or an orange than
to grow the real original fruit. Since
we eat preserved fruits oftener than
the real fruit, we are in danger of ac-
quiring an artificial flavor. Another
generation, it is prophesied, will OBJ
ject to the flavor of a peach or pear
as being unnatural. An interesting
test has recently been made by an
alyzing strawberry jam. 1t was found
to contain apples alphabetically flavor
ed, while the seeds when analysed
turned out to be clover.

A Cheerful Person
Always Welcome

A cheeful person is always welcome.
Cheerfulness acts as tonic. 1t alb
serbs the gloom off of every day
life, and casts a sort of radiance on
the most monotonous surroundings.
How can you ever forget the kindly
neighbor, who was always ready with
the pleasant word? How you missed
her when she was gone! Even if the
mornings were cold, or the days
scorching hot, she always had time to
say few cheeful words. If you fail
ed in any undertaking, she could pat
you on the back, and with an ever
cheering word give you new courage
to start over again. She knew just
when to come, and when to go, and
was never a bore. Her smiles dried
the tears, and made sorrow seem
lighter. The children loved her, be-
cause she was ever ready to answer
their countless questions. She knew
each one by name, knew their friends,
their school affairs, and was interest
ed in their play. at was such fun"
as one little fellow remarked, "to talk
to her cause she was just like us, just
like boy, and wasn't stuck up like
most girls. Why she'd talk to you
anywhere, even if she was with a
crowd; she always knew u.s."
Yes, she always knew her friends,
young and old. She never passed them
without the kindly greeting, or the
sunny smile for which she was noted.
To her it was no effort to cast SUM-
shine around; but she never knew how
deep place she had carved for her.
self in the hearts of those who were
fortunate enough to come in contact
with her. Only on the final day, when
all will be brought to an account,
when the good deeds will be weighed
with the bad, will she know the value
of the cheerful words which she
scattered around.

ASKS SCHOOLS
TO CELEBRATE
MEMORIAL DAY
State Commissioner Urges Co.
operation with Local
Army Posts

In recent letter to superintendent
and principals, State Commissioner of
Education Arthur R. Spaid calls their
attention to Memorial Day, and asks
that they hold simple celebration on
that day.
He says: According to Rule a.,
under School Holidays, adopted by the
State Board of Education, teachers
are urged to emphasize the import
ance of these days with appropriate
exercises in the schools.
"For Memorial Day the idea should
be for the Superintendent or Princi-
pal to plan program in cooperation
with any local G. A. R., United States
Spanish war veterans or veterans of
the World War. 1t is desirable that
some member from one of these Posts,
if there is one in your neighborhood,
hould be invited to make a short adj
dress to the children at the school and
that the children should gather flowers
and march to the cemetery and dec
crate the graves at the time the SOL
diers hold their exercises, if there is
any local organization to conduct such
exercises.
Otherwise, it is recommended that
Immediately after the morning recess,
an appropriate program shall be car
ried out, after which the flowers
brought from the children's homes
should be placed upon the graves of
soldiers in the neighboring cemeteries,
by the pupils under the direction of
the teachers. The children may then
be dismissed for the day.
"It is the wish of the State Board
of Education that the day be observed
in quiet, dignifed way, and that the
children shall be under the supervision
of their teachers until the exercises
have been concluded at the cemetery.
"No Superintendent or Principal
has permission to dismiss school for
the day, and it is his duty to direct the
exercises himself. He may, or may
not, call upon some suitable person
to address the children on this occa-
sion. Long speeches concerning the
war should not be tolerated. The day
should teach peace, rather than war.
Almost any soldier who has had ex-
perience on a battlefield can tell a
simple story which will be enjoyed by
the children. Cooperation on the part
of the school authorities with the local
Army posts will make the occasion
impressive and a success"

so in fact" The process Of appoint
ment for these places, upon expiration
of the terms of those holding offices,
"shall be made from one of the three
highest eligibles," says the President,
who also states: "This order applies
to all present incumbents of post
offices whose terms have expired and
will apply to all incumbents as their
present terms expire"
There should be plenty of comfort
in that for "the man who won the
election last fall"
