DISTRICT WORKERS
FACE CUT IN WAGES
Five Per Cent Reduction for
Per Diem LaborerS and
Mechanics Likely.

A cut of per cent in the wages of
per diem laborers and mechanics of
the city government was forecast to-
day as result of a meeting of the
wage board at the District building
yesterday.
Although the board will have an
other session tomorrow before for
mulating report to the Commits
sioners, it was learned today that the
8 per cent reduction.
About 1000 Affected.
This would mean an employe re-
ceiving 81 day would have his wage
reduced to $3.50. The revised scale,
if approved by the Commissioners.
will become effective January l, and
will affect between 1900 and 1000
workers. practically all of whom are
in the engineering branches of the
city government.
The employees felt that no reduction
should be made at this time. on the
ground that the cost of living has not
receded sufficiently to warrant a cut.
What action the City Employees AS
sociation will take on the report of
the wage board could not be forecast
ed today. 1t is practically certain.
however. that they will not go further
than appeal to the city heads.
Excluded From Bonus.
While the wage board raised the
basic pay of per diem employees last
June. there was no actual increase
in compensation. because this class of
workers was excluded from the $40
bnous in the appropriation law, which
became effective July l of this year.
Al present the pay of city laborers
ranges from $3.50 to s3.75, according
to the value placed on the ability of
the Individual.
The wage board deals only with per
diem employees. because they are paid
from lump sum appropriations and
their rates of pay must be fixed by
the Commissioners.

BOYS CAMP CHANGED
TO CULBERTSON

Announcement is made that the
Boys Camp will be held at gilbert
son instead of Poplar as originally
planned. The executive board after
considering the matter and the best
location of all the towns in the coun-
ty considered Culbertson is the most
favorable place as it has three herds
of pure bred livestock which could
be used for judging purposes, five
pure bred hog growers, excellent high
school gym, shower baths and equip
ment, excellent cooperation among
the people; also a good swimming
hole.
1t will also have access to more
farm boys who a attend the camp
part time and get some benefit out
of it. The Culbertson people made a
bid for this camp and have shown a
great deal of interest in promoting it.
Details are being completed for
the program of the camp. A big tent
is being ordered and the program
looks more favorable all the time.
Several boys have been selected
and the names reported to the Coun-
ty Agents office.
Nelson R. Miller will be the boy
representative from the Bainville
community, Carl Karge, representa-
tive from the Divide community,
Kenneth Dault representative from
the Fairview community, Herbert
Young, representative from the Pho
neer community and Fleetie Zeller

Something to
Think
THE LAMP
By F. II. WALKER

AF ALL the stories that out of a
~ far-distant past have come down
to entertain and teach us lone is
more compelling in its interest than
that of Aladdin and his wonderful
lamp.
There are several versions of the
fact, but one feature remains the same
in all the v-ariations-in order to get
the benefits which the lamp had pow
er to confer the pOssessor mad to rub
1T.
In other words, it took WORK to
get the desired results and to enjoy
the benefits.
The greatest disgrace in this life
as to be idle. To produce nothing,
to feed upon the mental or physical
iabors of others, reduces man to a
rank lower than the animals, for they
strive at least for their food.
"He is not only idle who does
nothing" says Seneca, "but he is idle
who might be better employed"
The thing to do is to find that task
for which you are best fitted, which
you can do with the greatest efficiency
and the greatest pleasure, and do that
task with all our might.
Count your efforts by results.
The punch that does not land never
~overcomes your opponent.
The bullet that spends its energy
H. y = 49, - - l-4Arz
Production, RESULTS, is what truly
measures endeavor and fixes It's value.
Idleness is emptiness. Emptiness as
TO the present, emptiness as to the
future.
One of the most indefatigable work
sers in America, a man whose accom-
p~lisliments are known the world over
and whose name is a synonym for ac-
c~omplishment in his profession said
in a lecture to a group of young men
recently: "The man who works only
with the purpose of self-preservation
whose only object in life is to satisfy
his hunger, cover his nakedness and
provide himself a shelter, may be good
but he won't be good for much"
A man WITH A BRAIN ought to
have something that the machine can
not have. He ought to have aspiration
and ambition and a vision of a better
future.
If he has not how is he better than
the combination of belts and gears
beside which he works?
/ could never quite see why Adam
was very severely punished when as
a result of his infraction of the rules
of Eden he was told, "In the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
cannot believe that the Creator looked
upon work as a curse, a punishment.
Work has brought more joy into the
world, cured more sorrows. mended
more broken hearts and built more
happiness than any other function of
mankind.
Carlyle paid a splendid tribute to
work when he wrote, 'There is a noble
mess and even a sacredness in work.
There is always hope in a man who
actually and earnestly works. The
latest gospel in the world is, know
thy work and do it,"
Work will make us love life.
1t is the one means of satisfying
ambition.
1t is the one way to turn dreams
into realities.
1t is the ONLY way by which a
man can prove his right to existence
and establish the wisdom of the Gre
in having made him. s
The best part of the story of Alad-
and his lamp was that he had to |
rub the lamp to get results. He had
to work to accomplish what he sought. !
And that was much more satisfying s
han ever marrying the Sultan's 5augh-
ter and living happily ever after. o
