The committee to make arrange

months Of June, July and August.
This is in accordance with agreement
with the local Retail Clerks Union.
1t means that during the hot months
all store employees will enjoy a half
holiday through the efforts and work
of the Retail Clerks Union. The
Press just wonders how much those
who never give the union or organ
lied labor in general a thought, ap-
preciate the holiday which perhaps
they would never otherwise hear of if
it wasn't for the union making it
possible for them to get. And no
doubt many of the merchants get just
as much pleasure out of the lay off
from business cares on hot day,
and perhaps more, than do the en-
ployes. The. half holiday for store
employees is just another example OF
what organization does.

OFFICIAL MURDERERS!

many years, has been greatly inter

Aaron E. Eggleston, the well known
contractor, has announced himself as
candidate for the nomination for
county commissioner at the demo-
cratic primaries in August. Mr.. Egg
gleston only consented to be a can
didate for office at the suggestion of
many union men, business men and
farmers from all over the county.
Mr.. Eggleston is peculiarly fitted
and well qualified for the position to
which he aspires, and if elected should
make an ideal member of the board
of county commissioners.
At present he is contractor, en-
ploying quite number of men. For
many years he was actively identified
with the local organized labor move
ment. He has served a number of
terms as secretary and president of
the local Carpenters Union. For
three terms he served as secretary of
Trades Council, and for four terms
its president. His work in these posi-
tions and as leader during his activ-
ity in the labor movement needs. no
recalling to the local union working
people-suffice to say that no more
able or conscientious official and
leader ever served Hamilton's labor
movement than did Aaron Eggleston.
Mr.. Eggleston's candidacy will no
doubt not only appeal to the union
men and women, but to business and
professional men and farmers as we'll,
among whom he has wide acquain-
tance throughout the entire county
and to whom he is favorably known
because of his fair dealings with all.
Not only has he taken active inter-
est IN organized labor work but in
many other things pertaining to civic
welfare work, in which he has shown
always a willing hand He was a
member of the bureau of social work
and also served here as president He
has done much to further the work of
the kiddies' tubercular camp and real
ly was one of the first to suggest
the camp.
In the Community Chest drives
Eggleston is always called on to as
sist, and it might be added that he
always responds. He is member of
the Eagles, Moose and Elk lodges
and active in all of them. He is well
known in Methodist church circles
where he attends.
He is also member Of the Butler
County Fish and Game Protective
Association, in which organization he
has held office at various times and
where, because of his activity and
the keen interest displayed in the
associations affairs, he has made a
host Of friends and acquaintance and
from whom 10 doubt he will receive
strong support in his campaign for
office.
But to labor his candidacy should
especially appeal. The need for la
Dor representative of the Eggleston
type in the office of county commits
sioner has long been felt, and in Mr..
Eggleston labor surely has an excel

that it would save the taxpayer

The idea did not make hit with
the officials with whom it was taken

The reason? Very simple.
"lf report is made and the fault
is not corrected prior to an accident,
there stands a prima facie case that
the city was negligent. The city
through it's officials, confess judgment
without trial." was the way one Off

man soul apart to find out how It
works, much as little boy takes apart
a clock to find out how it runs.
What we need is much less psyche

There are four distinctive loves in
the life Of every normal human being.
First, the reverential love, which be-
gins with the love Of the child for Its
parents.
Second, the chumship love, which be-
gins in the child's love for his play
mates.
Third, the mating love, which be-
gins with the dawn Of maturing sex.
Fourth, the parental love, which be
gins with desire for children and con-
tinues as the basic love of family life
Each OF these begins at a different
period Of the individuals life.
The first fundamental mistake OF the
psycho-analysts is this: They con-

loves begins as the determinant of love

There are many races In India, and

Some women wear skirts, some wear

some wear skirts. And some wear
neither skirts nor trousers. They
simply wear piece Of cloth wound

As different and numerous as are
their costumes, religions, customs and

The official census records 900 diff.

over 100 different languages are
