A MANS JOB

"a mans job is his best friend"
says Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas.
1T clothes and feeds his wife and
children, pays the rent and supplies
them with the wherewithal to develop
and become cultivated. The least a
man can do in return is to love his
job. A mans job is grateful. 1t is
like little garden that thrives on love.
1t will one day flower into fruit worth
while, for him and his to enjoy If
you ask any successful man the reason
for his making good he will tell you
that first and foremost it is because he
likes his work; indeed, he loves it. His
whole heart and soul are wrapped up
in it. His whole physical and mental
energies are focused on it. He walks
his work, he talks his work, and that
is the way every man worth his salt
ought to be if he wants to make of
his work what it should be, and make
of himself what he wants to be-"

fairs, a general tendency to frOwn up
on levity and frivolous things but a
sincere desire always to do what is
right regardless of cost Out of the
rocky hills of New England came
much Of the material that made Am
erica great
The Cavalier blood had its influence
Ealso. Virginia produced Thomas JEFF
fersOn who wrote the declaration of
independence and George Washington
E''the Father of his Country" The Cav
talfer type was scholarly and idealis
| tic. Our great constitution was large
| ly framed by minds from the Old Do
minion state.
The Cavalier class spread through
! the South and founded the great slave
holding aristocracy. 1t became cor
!rupted by slavery. When the Civil war
came on the Puritan North met the
| Cavalier South and defeated it. Slav-
| cry fell.
| We find this reflection of Puritan
and Cavalier in our life today The
Puritan holds fast by his idealism. just
| as his intellectual forefathers did. He
reads the Bible and believes in it.
! Call him all the names you like but
! he is a dangerous man to mix with.
| He thinks he is right and will stick
! to what he thinks.
The Cavalier of today also differs
| little from his intellectual forefathers.
| He wears silk shirts and sport cloth
| ing and drives fast motor cars. He is
easy-going, likes a good time and is
! generous and liberal in his makeup.
| He wants to enjoy himself and wants
other people to enjoy themselves. He
/ feels hurt when his enjoyments are in
/ terfered with. He considers the 18th
amendment as a grievous affair and
! the Volstead act as personal injury.
! He smokes cigars or cigarets, enjoys
prize fights and Sunday ball games
| and will take drink when he knows
where it came from. We call him a
live wire"
This conflict is going on and will go
on. Just as there is good in all men
so there is good in the modern anti
thesis of the Roundhead and good in
the present day Sir Walter Raleigh
We must understand these things
sympathetically and not harshly.
Our Roundheads must be sure that
when they think they are high-souled
and outstanding for right they are not
tyrannical. Our Cavaliers must hold
their natural ebulliency of spirits in
restraint that they do not offend the
good people who take things more
seriously.
The student, the observer, watches
the world about him, diminutive as it
may be, and finds it an amending and
eternally interesting play. He recog-
nizes the great natural law of the
swing of the pendulum.

1t is difficult to mislead and rob a
man in so insignificant a thing as
a horse trade, but millions of them
may be mislead and robbed in a thing
which will cost each individual much
more than getting the worst of it in
horse trade. If smart rascal
wishes to rob his fellows he gets
them together in a convention or
mass meeting. AS individuals, each
man at the mass meeting is able to
look after himself, but the man who
called and controls the mass meeting
is able to rob a hundred or thous-
and where he would be unable to rob
any single man in the audience as
AN individual.

RULES FOR LIVING.
nv DIR, Frank Crane.

Here are some rules that may sug-
gest to you how to form your own
rules for thought and life.
They are not based on religious
authority nor any other authority ex-
cept that which emanates from the
experience of mankind and those facts
which are known to us all.
/. Follow nature. Study all your
lifelong to learn the laws of nature.
Accommodate yourself to them.
2. Cultivate your imagination, SO
that you may see and and realize the
convictions and sentiments of others.
g. Avoid egotism and its by-pro-
Gucts-self pity and senSitiveness.
f. Clean yourself of envy, which is
the nastiest bird nesting in the heart
5. Find your work, what you like
best to do, and can do better than
others, and do it, without reference to
wages.
6. Be loyal to the truth, as you see
it. Shun eXpediency. And you can
not go far astray from self-respect
Z. Be content but never satisfied.
s. Preserve your health and keep
up your life force. Only the strong
can give.
9. Save your surplus. The cum
ulative power of life is a matter OF
thrift
10. Realize that those of different
opinions from yours may be as sim
cere as yourself. This is a great
gain, and gives you an advantage over
one who believes you crooked.
II. Proportion your belief to the
evidence. Suspend judgement on
most things.
II. Avoid regulating others, adj
vising, teaching, preaching, except as
others ask, and then sparingly. Be-
lieve all men are fair and all women
good.
10. Do not try to tell even truth to
one who is not prepared to receive it
IA. Do the unwelcome gracefully.
Is. Despise no human being.
16. Appreciate love, no matter
from whom. 1t is too scarce in the
world to waste drop. i
IL. Learn the law of averages
Base no expectancy on an exception
IS. Live when and as you live
When in youth be young. In old age
find the happiness of that period.
10. Aim at poise. Contentment OF
mind is possible to one who has two
powers-frst, sense enough to know
that it come from himself within an6
not from environment nor events; and
second, will power enough to dis
clpline himself.

ROUNDHEAD AND CAVALIER

Historical Note-The Puritans of
England clipped their hair short as
a protest against the Cavaliers who
wore long and curly locks. The Cav
alters called them "Roundheads. Lat
er the Puritans made frequent use of
the title to designate members of their
party.)
Back in the 18th century in England
there existed two great political part
les. One party comprised the aristo-
cratic class and was called the cava-
lier. The other party comprised the
middle class and was called the COM
moner. This conflict reflected itself
along religious lines, the cavaliers be-
ing mostly church of England while
the commoners were largely non-con-
formist. The thing tilted up and down
in the early half of the century ending
with the commoners in power headed
by oliver Cromwell and the death of
King Charles on the scaffold. Then
the commoners ruled for thirty years
or so and they ruled with a strong
hand. Everything irreligious or of a
gala nature was repressed and the cav
alters had sorry time of it. Finally
Cromwell died and following a weak
ed by King Charles II came into power
again. Then as we say in modern
parlance, things ran wide Open" The
pendulum had swung the other way.
1t went so far that by the close of the
century the people tired of the Stuart
family and imported a king, first from
Holland and then from Hanover Since
then conditions have been compromis-
ed in England.
The conditions in England reflected
themselves in America. The Puritans
of New England were intellectually
affiliated with the non-comformists of
Old England. The Cavaliers of Vir-
ginia carried out the traditions of the
Elizabethan period when knighthood
was in flower.
The Puritan blood, intolerant as it
was in many ways, has had great in
f1uence upon American life. 1t still
has today. We find its expression in
blue laws, serious thinking in all af-

EDITOR AND FARMER
MAKE STRONG TEAM

This must be a fine town, with d
strong spirit of cooperation between
it and the surrounding farms. I've
never been there, but I'd like to CO."
This remark was prompted by a
glance through the columns of one of
the best country weekly newspapers
published in Wisconsin, which radiat-
ed progress, good will and prosper
ity, and unconsciously has come to
be the best advertising medium its
community possesses.
1t is successful because it serves
the community faithfully and reflects
in each issue the life and work of
the largest percentage of its readers.
Service to the community cannot be
accomplished by an editor alone, how
ever. He needs the help of the farm
er and his family in several ways.
Among these are:
BY subscribing to the paper.
BY writing tht editor or visiting
the Office occasionally with items of
interest, intelligent criticism, or
praise for good issues. This shows
interest and lets the editor know that
someone is watching.
BY advertising live stock, poultry,
produce, land or purebred seeds.
By placing orders for job printing,
such as bill heads, letterheads, bust
ness cards and public notices, in the
home printing office.
BY telling merchants and profess
sional men when their advertisements
in the home paper are effective.
By helping the editor secure and
keep live, accurate correspondents in
each neighborhood in the community.

Governor Blaine in a Madison adj
dress, says the press of the country
is corrupt and controlled by interests.
What interests the governor doesn't
state. Just Interests" probably. The
governor may be right about the met
ropoIitan press when he says it is
owned by absentee landlords but he
can't include the country press in this
indictment. The country newspapers
as a rule are owned by poor but de-
serving editors who are continually
stepping on somebody's corns through
an intense desire to say what they
think is right. They may be wrong 80
per cent of the time but they are sin
cere and want to be helpful.

We often wonder if labor in the mass
considers exactly what the process is
by which capital or the employing
class converts their product of effort
into wages. Especially do we wonder
about this since the trend has been
toward lower wages and the tendency
on the part of labor to resist the grad
ual and sweeping readjuStment. The
employer buys the labor product of the
emplOye and directs that effort along
certain lines to create a finished pro-
duct which he sells. When the cost
of labor in the product is too high to
meet competition which is practically
worldwide, the employer must either
reduce his costs or quit business as
no one will buy from him. The en-
ployer in an exact sense is selling the
product of labor on a commission or
percentage. If both sides were per-
fectly fair and could see this vital
point there should be little trouble
over REIMBURSEMENT
900
The old conditions of wage may re-
turn again but we hope they never
will. We mean the days when bare
living was considered enough for the
working man. In more recent years
the worker has been able to live and
also lay by something for his old age
and this is right The aim of right
minded employers everywhere is to
maintain the wage scale as high as
possible but to do this they must have
the full cooperation of labor i'll CIV
ing maximum efficiency and highest
production. This bolshevik foolish
ness about six hours a day and all the
rest of that rot has been pretty well
knocked in the head since prices be-
gan to fall and jobs became scarcer.
The aim now is to better conditions by
working harder, selling closer and
keeping industry on the move instead
of stagnating.
