WHEN COOLIDGE SERVED
THE WHOLE NATION.

When Samuel Gompers started
in to unionize police, fremen and
school teachers of Boston he heard
from Calvin Coolidge, then gaver-
nor of Massachusetts.
The proposition to throw public
Servants wholesale into the ranks
Of organized labor Coolidge declar-
ed was frought with public dan
ger.
With Boston municipal employees
once unionized, the other cities Of
Our Country would have followed
suit in one, two, three order.
The Generalization of organized
labor would have followed as re-
suit of injecting the professional
politicians and white collar class
es into the unions.
If the scheme proved practical
it would have amounted to a poll
teal dictatorship, confiscatory in
Its raids on the tax payers.
Coolidge showed a courage not
common among statesmen. He call
ed the halt. Speaking for the
farmers and smaller property own
ers he asserted the principle of no
divided allegiances in the public
service.
Police, firemen and public school
teachers could not take orders from
President Gompers and the A. F.
OF L. and also remain loyal to the
! public service.

THE SWEETEST WOMAN
IN ALL THE WORLD

No greater compliment can be
paid womankind, tnan to have the
son remark MY mother is the
sweetest woman in all the world"
Through sleepless night and days
filled to overlooking with the never
ending tasks that confront her, she
has earned that tribute of love, Of
confidence, Of comradeship.
Whether you are or 60, you
still are mothers boy. Whether
you are clerk or master of mil
lions, mother should still be your
confident and guiding star. Con
fide in her and many of the dis
appointments of life will pass you
by.
A few months ago B. C. Forbes,
financial writer of national repu-
tation, interviewed a number of
Americas leading bankers and
manufacturers, seeking to find out
whether these men of millions
found time to give to their moth
ers. Without exception, each Of
these men took the time, once or
twice week to spend a few hours
with their uoo+harS
Sam Jones was wont to remark
occasionally: Every great man
had great mother; any old stick
will do Tor daddy"
eve heard a man, over 35 years
of age, remark that his mother
was the sweetest woman in all the
world" says Editor Levy in the
Brunswick News.
"And that man went up in our
estimation" continues Mr.. Levy.
"But really, every man or woman,
boy or girl should think their
mother the sweetest woman in
all the world
"Many times we over
look the excellent quail
tise in our mothers be-
cause we do not view them afar.
We have been accustomed to our
mothers from birth and accent
their solicitous care and love as
a matter of course.
There never was and never
will be real great man who
did not reverence his mother
above all others.
ut is real greatness in a man
to be ever considerable and kind
to his mother.
eve heard another man who
has never known a mother, re-
mark that he would give ten
years Of his life if he could have
his mother with him, if only for
a day.
And boys and girls. we desire
to remind you that there is no

Quoting Uncle Sans surplus funds.
This means that the national
debt is $2O7 for every man, woman
and child in the country. While
even that is a large sum, it's not
enough to drive us to the poor
house. The income of all the
American people for less than half
year would wipe out every penny
of the national debt. A great
many Americans would be thank
full if their personal debts were not
any larger than their share of the
national debt.

Some business men are a trifle
worried because production of pig
IRON in cur country during August
was about a sixteenth less than in
July.
However, August iron output was
over three and a half times as big
as IN August, 1921, during hard
times. Also, it was a third larger
than production in August, 1913,
when times wer normal. So
were still in prosperity up to our
ears, Iron manufacturing, you
know, is the key industry-weath-
er-vane of general business.

LONDON, Sept. %. Smartly
dressed women of the future must
wear flare" skirts, modified leg
of-mutton sleeves, well-defined
waist-lines, and must make up in
doll" fashion, according to Lon
don fashion experts. The doll"
makeup consists of dash of red
high on each checkbone, and an
other dash in the middle of the
forehead. This gives the fair wear
er the appearance of a Dutch doh.

one like the mother. She may
be uneducated and may appear
to you old-fashioned and out of
style. But, you should remem-
Der that she is the one who
brought you into this world-the
one who guarded you from all
harm when you couldn't guard
yourself. She is willing to give
such love as no other human be-
ing can ever attempt to show.
No pedestal is too high and
no consideration is too great for
the mother.
we once witnessed an Incl
dent that has followed us through
the passing years, which was
grand and beautiful. A boy had
graduated with first honors from
mountain college. The boys
mother had come to see her boy
receive his diploma.
The aged creature was small.
wrinkled with the hardships and
sacrifices of many years. She
wore a. fafed bonnet and her
dress was OF calico. She had
found her way to front seat
in the college auditorium. She
looked with pride upon her man
~ boy and wore a smile of salts
faction as the son received his
honors.
And when the boy had receiv-
ed them, he left the stage and
making his way to where his old
mother was seated, he took the
small, tired form in his great
arms and crumpled her to his
breast, as ne would have done his
beautiful bride.
1T was our opinion that this
boy displayed true greatness and
would some day become famous.
He went away from his noun
tain home to a western city and
was not long in making his way
to fame and fortune.
Yes, boys, be kind and con-
siderate to your mother. She is /
the most wonderful work of Him
who creates all people and all
things"
While We are on the subject, let's
OF forget, as Dr. Barker remarks,
Old dad is around here, too" Be
pal to that boy, such a pal that
hen he sees you coming, he will
Iclaim, Here comes dad"
If he whispers to the older chi,
rem, Look out, here's father"
ou're missing their comradesship
nd confidence.
But it is mother, who is the
veetest women in all the world"

he served work at Pennsville. A
