Under our present Capitalist System
all our production and distribution Isl
carried on on profit basis. Those com
modities, and those only are produced
which promise to the owners of produc
ton profits. The same is true with our
system of distribution.
It is under such system that the
,people are skinned and profiteers are
made. The process by which this is
accomplished is most interesting
study. We haven't time to go into all
the complexities of the system, but on
ly desire to point out some OF Its
wastes and inconsistencies. For produc'
tion for profit is only profitable Tor
the profiteer.

The ranches have produced hundreds

ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF Eff
FICIENCY.

An economist recently proposed that
the twelve hour shifts in the steel in
dustry shoul be abolished. There was no
statement of the right of workmen
to shorten the day, so that they might
LIVE. Workers have not that right
under the present system in America
- they must work as much as their
bosses require, unless, through organiza'
tion, they can force a reduction of
hours
No, the basis of the argument was
something quite different. There is a
surplus of labor The division of work
into three shifts of eight hours each,
instead of two, shifts Of twelve hours
each, would mean an additional expense
of only per cent. So, probably, Mr.
Gary will consider it, particularly, since

MOTHERS CLUB FORMED
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

A Mothers Club, composed of
those women who have sons and
daughters in the high school, was
organized in the high school audi
forum Wednesday afternoon. The
chief aim of the women Of the or
ganization is to keep directly in
touch with educational affairs and
aid in their promotion in every man
ner possible.
The officers elected are: Mrs.
w. G. Adamson, president; Mrs.
T. D. Brown, vice-president; Mrs.
A. E. Organ, secretary-treasurer.
Resolutions were passed suggest
ing that all club members visit the
higher school of learning every two
week period. An innovation that
will meet with great favor among
the sterner sex is contained in a
luncheon for dad to be given short
ly. The old fox, when he turns out
to the gilded bait, is not supposed
to suspect that he too is to lose his
identity .and be merged into {
Fathers Club to be associated will
the club just organized.
