As THE
EDITOR
SEES IT

The most desirable of regulations
are the easiest to lose 1t requires
years of correct living to build them
up, and but an incaustious moment to
destroy them
Too many men seem to forget that
they are judged not by what they real
~ are, but by what they seem to be-
Their actions and their words are the
only things that count.
The little things of life are of vast
Importance. They indicate the char
acter that lies beneath the polished
surface, and it is from them that the
most lasting impressions are formed
A sanctimonious countenance, is not
indicative of clean heart. 1t is
cloak under which many disreputable
deeds are performed.
A cheerful smile, truthful tongue
and an honest heart are all that any
person requires.
Character is built from these, and
reputation is but the aftermath of
character.
Quite a discussion is springing up
as to who is our richest man. Some
hand the palm to John D., while others
claim that Henry Ford is entitled to
the blue ribbon.
One enterprising writer suggests
that the question be settled by refer
ence to their tax receipts. But that
would only serve to increase the doubt.
Let them emulate Andrew Carnegie
and give away their wealth.
Then the ribbon could go to the one
who coughs up the most.
Don't be too hasty in condemning
the fellow whose conscience troubles
him. Possibly he is to be admired.
Wherever there is normal mind
there is supposed to be a conscience
But many of them do not function.
Some, apparently, have even ceased to
exist.
A conscience is a troublesome thing
when it is in good working order. 1t
is forever interfering with some long
cherished plan or pet project. When
We want to lull it to sleep it insists |
upon remaining wide awake.

A city exchange remarks that some
towns spend more time in sounding
their slogans than they do in cleaning
their streets.
1t is quite true, to the detriment of
the towns. Glowing slogans cause the
stranger to expect something out of
the ordinary, and when he learns his
mistake his interest ceases to exist.
Fine words Oh the wings Of wind
travel long way, but clean street
leaves more lasting impression.

The North W>eHerw
CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA

Confidence of men in American
institutions has brought prosperity
to the American people.
L he greatest institution of this
country is its transportation
system. The very life of this nation
depends on the efficiency Of it's
railroads.
1 he Chicago and North Western
Railway Company is proud of the
fact that the efficiency and loyalty
of it's employees has enabled the
North Western to satisfactorily
discharge it's transportation
obligations to the public.
Any disturbance to the discharge
Of the North Westerns duty to the
public would seriously retard the
recovery of business from it's long
period Of depression.
L he Chicago and North Western
Railway Company recognized the
necessity Of adjusting the
4 disturbed conditions under which
we are living. It voluntarily made
many reductions in freight rates
and accepted the reductions
ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
| he North Western also accepted
without questionable increase
of wages ordered by the Railroad
Labor Board.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1922-06-29

w e believe that North Western
employees should show the same
willingness as the Company to
abide by the orders of the Railroad
Labor Board.
| his adjustment is fair. After the
reduction ordered by the LaLor
Board, North Western employees
will be paid a higher scale than
labor in other industries.
| he reductions in rates of grain,
hay and other commodities that
were made effective January l,
1922, together with the reductions
effective July l, 1922, reduces our
income-based on our 1921 bust
ness-by S13,9O0,OOO.
L he reduction in wages ordered by
the Railroad Labor Board effective
July l, 1922, reduces our expenses
based on 1921 payrolls - by
$4,1O0,000.
A strike by North Western en-
ployes against the decision Of the
Railroad Labor Board will not only
destroy at once the confidence
which the years have given the
North Western in it's employees, but
it will be a strike against this
country's progress toward pros
perity.
w e believe that North Western
employees will continue their faith
in American institutions and let
right and wisdom govern their
actions.

WOMEN NIBBLE
WAY TO GRAVE

LONDON; May 25." Women eat too
much. -
Thus Cecil Webb Johnston, London
doctor, claim that women "dig their
graves with their teeth
- feel it to be public duty to warn
women that if they increase the amount
of food they take in the "a hours the
only people who will benefit will be the
doctors y he declared.
He attributes the prime cause of pre-
mature illness and death among the wo-
men to-
Incessant nibbling.''
Too many Illnesses and not enough
fruit.
Too many chocolates.
Forcing food down at all hours in
stead OF eating regularly.
Too much tea drinking.
Lack OF green stuffsj salads, spinach,
etc.
Too much meat.

doctor declared, "that the reason why
women suffer from diseases of the stom-
ach arising out of indigestion is because
they either overeat or eat the wrong
foods.
