BEATING THE WORLD

What a wonderful world this
would be were 1t possible to Increase
material production by the shorten
ing Of the hours Of labor!
How many things sound most plau-
sible when stated In a theory, only 10
prove quite the contrary when put
into practice!
An office clerk in one Of the rail-
road general offices In Chicago was
so regular In his time of appearance
for a days work, and his prompt
tude of departure ut the striking or
ave in the afternoon that the presi-
den was able to regulate his watch
by the clerks regularity.
When December / last came this
particular clerk began working from
twenty minutes to three-quarters Oh
an hour overtime. He did so right
through to Christmas. He was not re-
ouested to. But he managed to nave
something which was incompleted at
the hour Of Ave.
There was a reason. BY means OF
the wage agreements established by
on william Gibbs McAd00 ana MS
associates, this clerk was able, II ne
felt tempted to do so, TO oDtaih
three hours overtime allowance Tor
half hours extra work. And Christ
mas Il a time Of the year when one
appreciates having some extra pay
OF course you and I and our neigh
bors are paying for that overtime
and getting nothing commensurate
for it. That does not worry the
railroad employee who cannot see 1ar
enough economically, to know thar
that sort Of thing helps o'keep the
purchasing price Of his dollar lower
than 1t should be.

WEST COMES INTO ITS OWN
Sandzen Says Kansas Seeks Art
Gives Pictures to School

Gives Pictures to School
The time is at hand when the
great west will give her artists work
to do and will cooperate with the
talent in the home state ana nhd
great masters here. This was the
substance of Burger Sandzen's views
ON 1.-THE Art of the Southwest" as ne
expressed them in addressing the
members Of the City Federation at
the high school auditorium Tuesday
| afternoon.
Mr.. Sandzen declared that up to
the present an almost superstltious
respect for the east has existed. In
Now York. he stated copies OF mas
terpies are made by numbers and are
sold by ambitious agents as orig
inals. Three times as many "ong-
inals" from one master as the artist
ever produced are owned In America
today he declared. They were pur-
chased of agents from the east ana
were therefore deemed to be authen-
| tic.
Kansas has produced number OF
very fine artists he said but rev OF
them have stayed here because art
purchasers have looked to the east
to fill their salaries.
Henry Poor of Chapman was the
finest war artist In America, MT.
Sandzen asserted. John Noble OF
wichita, he said was gaining the
ylecopnition he deserved from his
home city and Wichita at present
contemplates buying one OF his PIC
tures. While in Kansas City recent
ly Mr.. Sandzen stated he was at
tracted by paintings by Bret Hart
man Of Junction City. 1T Is time
for Junction City to get busy ne
added.
better understanding between
artists and the public Is necessary
he ueinted out. Then the painter
will be given credit and remunera-
ton for his work while he Is living
and that the public will reap the
benefit of his genius at its height In
stead of paying thousands Tor the
work after his death, for which ne
has received bare recognition during
his life.
Mr.. Sandzen presented two of his
to the Abilene high
school. They are prairie Castle"

ty. Kansas. and THE Great Red.
