"Many Ways to Kill a Dog"

An auto dashed along Texas

gun on his shoulder and a weak. sick

directly in the path of the machine.

the dog did not move until he was
struck. After that, he didn't move
either.
The car stopped. and one OF the oc-
cupants got out and went back. He

Perhaps if we were to analyze
the great success Of this man
we would find that his keen APP
probation ard consistent apphca-
ton of the principle involved in
his kindly rebuke 10 lis subcr-
d.nate associate was the real Sc
cret OF his rise to wealth and pow
err. His statement was not
prompted by any narrow motives
suggestive of the nliser. The
point he had in mind was that
the deliberate waste of even
very small amount is reprehensi-
bic, and has ultimate effects far
in excess of the amount imme-
diately involved
Thrift, in its broadest aspects, is
efficiency; and there can be no
efficiency where there is deEber-
ate waste.
The story is told of a boy who
begged his father for a certain
toy costing 5000, TO which the
father replied: Son, which would
you rather have, this plaything or
one dollar a month for life?" And
the boy wisely chose the latter.
What the father had in mind was
that the $500 could be invested to
yield $12 a year Plus a lesson in
thrift worth many, many times
that amount.
When we are tempted to waste
even the smallest amounts. let Us
remember these points and profit
by them.

actions and language show that
they are engaged in an organized

organizations were excepted for the

Railroad Labor Act
The statement is made that the
railroad companies have set the ex-

the decisions OF the Labor Board.
The facts are that the companies
have taken appeals in certain cases
to the courts. on the legal ground
that the Board had exceeded its
jurisdiction under the law. This is

TINE leading topics Of interest
in the past month have been
= the crops and the strikes.
The crops have come along finely.
The wheat crop is fully as large as
last year, the corn crop promises
to be around 3,000,000,0O0 bushels
and other food and feed crops arc
good. The amount of dairy prod
ucts going into storage is larger
than last year. Altogether, the cost
OF living so far as foodstuffs are
concerned promises to be on about
the same basis for the coming year
as for the past. The cotton crop:
however, is disappointing and
likely 10 be short OF the worlds
needs. The tendency Of clothing
materials is now upward. but man
ufacturing costs are slightly lower
than last year.
The Improvement in industry
has proceeded so far that the
amount of enforced unemployment
is scarcely more than in any time
OF moderate prosperity, but the
pending strikes have not only
stopped the earnings Of the strikers
but are beginning to cause unem-
ployment and losses in other quar-
tiers. President Harding has been
active in his efforts to settle both
the big strikes without harsh or
unusual measures. He proposed
Tor the coal industry that the
miners return TO work immedi-
atelv at the scale Of wage being
paid when the strike began, this
situation to last until public com
mission, to be appointed by him,
could render decision upon
wages; the commission later
10 make a thorough investigation
az the industry, looking to the de
velopment OF a permanent policy
for the preservation OF peace and
wholesome working conditions
The miners rejected the proposal
The President has also made &
proposal for the settlement OF the
railroad strike, but at this writing
the outcome is undetermined.
