WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

Today am wondering what would
have happened to me by now, if fifty
years ago, some fluent t1'ker had
converted me to the theory Or thc
eight hour day and convinced me
that il was not fair to my fellow
workers to put forth my best efforts
in my work. l am glad that the
eight hour day had not been invent
ed when I was young man. If my
life had been made up of eight-hour
days don't believe l could have ac-
complished a great deal. The coun-
try would not amount to as much as
it does if the young men Of fifty
years ago had been afraid they might
earn more than they were paid.
There were shirkers in those days, to
be sure, but they didn't boast of it.
The shirker tried to conceal or ex-
cuse his shiftlessness and lack of am

AN ALIBI FOR SOL.

Mr.. Thomas, the new Executive
Secretary at the Abbeville Cotton
Mills, was in to see US early this
morning. Among other things which
he wanted to talk about was the
place of residence of Sol Glenn, ar
rested a few days ago for selling IL
quor. The Press and Banner had
stated that Sol lived on the mill hill,
which it appears is a mistake. SoPs
place of residence is on the lower
Greenwood road, beyond the corpor-
ate limits. The mill village, Mr.. Thom-
says, has no Solomons in it, nor bad
people land only one big fish mer-
chant-Col Dote Smith.
The Press and Banner regrets that
it changed Sol's place of residence,
not that it hurts the good people of
the mill village even if there were
some bad people down there, but
every community has enough troub-
les of it's own to bear without taking
on the troubles of other neighbor-
hoods. We shall try to do better in
the future.

IF YOUR JOBS WORTH HOLDING,
BE GOOD TO 1T

Don't you worry, fellow-worker-
don't you be inclined to fret,
If you know that you are earning
twice the salary you get;
Keep right at it; don't let them find
you nodding in your chair;
Try to be more useful daily; when
your name is called to be there;
Don't you listen when the gamblers
tell you that you're underpaid;
He who earns more than he's getting
has no need to be afraid.
If your work is good, don't slight it;
try to make it better still;
Here and there you may improve it
by all added touch of skill;
Don't let any one persuade you that
it's not worth while to try,
Or that anything's sufficient if you
managed to get ny;
Don't forget that every shirker who
intends to beat the boss
Finds himself the greater loser when
he figures up the loss.
Yours may be little corner; you
may think that no one cares,
But, barred from it, you would wan
der in a world of changed affairs
And you cheat yourself by thinking
that your record is unknown;
Give your utmost, though you give it
for the sake of pride alone;
Turn from those who try to fool you
into thinking you're "too good,
No one ever lost through showing the
best that he could.
Don't be. tagging or disgruntled; if
you think your job worth while
Let it have your honest effort, and go
to it with a smile;
Don't you worry, fellow-worker If
you're worth more than you're
paid;
When you get more than you're earn
ing is the time to be afraid.
Exchange.

Champaign, ILL.,, March PA
new world record for parachute

WANTS ZOO, 900 RABBITS
Entente Also Demands Bees and
Dogs From Germany.

Berlin, March 24.--Bees, Belgian
hares and sheep dogs are among the
domestic pets the Entente powers
are demanding from Germany. The
ship carrying the miscellaneous as
sortment of animals which Germanys
former enemies are demanding will
have almost as great an assortment
as Noah's craft.
Decision of the Reparations Com
mission on the exact number of rab-
bits which Germany must deliver has
been postponed for a month. The En-
tente demanded 100000. Meantime,
the German rabbit crop is increasing
at a record pace.
The Entente demanded 10000 dogs
and showed no disposition to accept
Dachshunds.
Twenty-Five thousand hives of bees
are demanded. One hundred and sixty
five he-goats and $4,000 she-goats,
100000 cocks and hens, sheep and
cattle and horses in large numbers
were sought by the Entente and the
German acceded to these requests.
1t is only the number Of hares, bees
and dogs which is to be determined
after the German representatives
have made counterproposals to the
Entente Reparations Commission.
A report prepared by the British
Embassy shows that France, Bel
gium, Italy, Serbia and England are
the countries which are asking for
animals. England is seeking only sew
en- horses.
The reparations negotiations re-
suited in an agreement for the de-
livery by Germany of 919,550 head
of cattle to her former enemies with
in three years. Delivery of the cat
tie, it was agreed, should take effect
"from the date which shall be agreed
upon by the experts of both parties
having regard to the prevailing. con-
ditions of health"
The stock of cattle in Germany in
1919 numbered 16,523,8O3, which in
the first nine months of 1920 was in
creased by S30,573 head.

To belong to that select coterie of
Washington society known as the
cabinet CIRCLE" would seem to most
women to be a bed of roses, but like
other roses they are not without their
thorns. For instance the wire of a
cabinet member is required by social
etiquette to make at least one call on
each senatorial and congressional
household which means that she must
make half a thousand or more such
calls during the season, whether it
pleases her or not.

Miss Chapman remained at her post,
almost without an hour of rest or

which was rewarded by the saving
of number of lives, but at the cost
