EDITORIAL
OF THE DAY

With several schools showing an at
tendance record for all enrolled pupils
above 81 per cent, it is apparent that
the campaign TO keep all the children
in school all the time is having its eff.
feet. 1t is a movement that deserves
encouragement of all school patrons, as
well as of school faculties. The student
who misses a day or two is facing a
handicap until the effect of such alb
sence is overcome. II the period of
absence is more prolonged, it may be
a disadvantage throughout the school
year. Sometimes a wasted year in the
pursuit Of education makes a lasting
difference throughout the pupils life.
The tendency to quit before school is
finished is widespread. 1t is accentu-
ated if the pupil gets out of stride with
classmates.
The fine record of attendance just
made public was made in the most ia
vorable season. Care and active CO.
operation of parents and pupils will
be needed TO maintain il. The bad

YOUR 30 SLAVES

Take away all our machinery an4
steam and electrical power, and it
would require 3,0OO0O00OO hard
working slaves to duplicate the
work done by Americans.
The use OF power and machinery
gives to every man, woman and
child in our country the equivalent
OF so slaves.
This is figured out in the latest
bulletin OF the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
Why envy the nobleman, back in
ancient Egypt or Bagdad, with 50
slaves toiing for him?
He had swift-running slaves bring
him fish from the ocean and bird
tongues from the mountains.
Today, with a few dimes, you
can get tin can of shrimp brought
from Japan, a package OF dates from
Syria, bag of nuts from Brazil,
sardines from Norway.
Your slaves-machinery and pow
er-bring them.
For few cents, you can buy
enough matches to start 1000 fires.
When the ancient nobleman's fire
was doused by the rain, he shiv-
cred in the cold until slaves made
a blaze by friction or brought fire
brands from afar.
Plenty OF old settlers, now living
can recall the days before matches,
when they ran a mile from the
nearest neighbor's, with a shovel
ful OF blazing Goals.
Your real wealth is measured, not
in money, but in the number Of
things you obtain to eat and wear,
the ease with which you get them
the comforts and conveniences Of
your home, methods OF transporta-
ton and amusement.
1t is only few centuries since
even the richest kings had no Sc
wers, running water, rapid trans
portation or any OF the common
place things that brighten the livees
OF all today.
Each year adds to our comforts
and conveniences.
A few years ago, only the rich
est men in town had autos. Now
there's an auto for every II Amer
leans.
Henry Ford is experimenting
with mixture OF glue, cotton and
formaldehyde. He expects to make
4 powerful building material out
OF these. If he succeeds, he'll stamp
flivvers out like doughnuts.
That seems like a dream. But it
is merely typical Of the process of
mass production that have given
the average person luxuries that
were denied the kings OF antiquity.
Measured in ancient standards,
we are all kings today, with the
slaves OF electricity, steam and
machinery toiling constantly for US.

sue they have an opinion. In my pre-
cinct where | am acquainted, most Of
them think that, to THEM ii is imma-
terial whether a democrat, or a re.
publican is elected. Had they have vot.
ed on the class issue" they would
have voted for Walton and had they
all voted in this fifth precinct Wal
tons majority instead OF being only
IA would probably have reached 500.
If those of voting age all over the state
who failed TO vote, think like those
with whom l am acquainted, had they
all voted, instead Of Walton's majority
being only fifty thousand, it would be
over three hundred thousand.
The class" or economic issue, is
world wide and is here TO stay until
settled. Whenever this issue is drawn
sufficiently distinct for those not vot.
ing in t.is election to know that their
interests are involved. they will vote.
This issue covers the entire civilized
world. II can not be set aside hence.

MIDDLE.AGED PEOPLE

AAliddleaged people" Youth greets them with 1eers'
And scouts at the wisdom that goes with the years.
So Youth rushes in without worry or DOUBT
And gets into trouble and then ls pulled out
BY midde.aged people who long age learned
The caution that youngsters have spurheu'
'AIiddle.aged people" they're stodgy and tarne,
But somehow o other they're wise TO the gene,
And though Youth magines it's running the snow
The mddeaged people are making II CO.
Bereft illusions, experienced, wise
The middloaged people have pretty good eyes.
'Middleaged people" they're lacking in pep
They look ere they leap and they watch every sep
And Youth they're SLOW, and | reckon they are
But speed without thought doesn't get very far,
And therefore, while Youth is alert and athrob.
It's mddeaged people who dope the job!
"Middleaged people'-thcy often hold back,
They don't like paths, they prefer the old track
And Youth frets and RACES at order and rule,
While mddeaged people just smile and keep cool,
For spite the talk that the youngsters have hurled
The middleased people running the world!
