RAILROADS AND EMPLOYEES

The railroads in the past few
years, have devoted great deal OF
thought to the welfare and prosper,
ity of their employees. 3ag
They have been carrying on cam
paigns to interest the men in the
company that gives them employ
ment, and policies unknown decade
ago have been developed.
Their departments of public re
lation have emphasized the welfare
and prosperity of men and the cor
poration being interrelated, and bas-
ed upon the loyalty, energy and
economy of the employees.
There is mutual interest among
the men, women and managers in all
becoming stockholders and sharing
in the prosperity OF their company
creating further interest in bette
and more efficient employees.
Falling off in receipts from freigh'
shipments or reduction in travel, ir
the end affects both managers ant
employees.
Savings in fuel. wear and tear and
destruction of machinery, transpor
tation equipment, better service tt
the public and increased earning
are vital to both the worker and the
manager.

FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1927

Indications point to some interest
ing doings in Republican ranks In
Maryland before the primaries. Mr..
Weller, it is claimed, though now
out of office, is laying lines to con-
tinue in control of the party organl-
cation and thus be enabled to go to
the National Convention next year,
with delegation from Maryland
which he promised to President
Coolidge several months ago. In
addition, to GUST ex-senator Jackson,
as member of the National Commit
tee and secure that honor for him
self-and, as Mr.. Jackson wishes to
retain the place, there will be fight
throughout the state-and, incident
ally, there will be a fight for the
nomination for the seat in the Unit
ed States Senate which is now held
by Mr.. Bruce, Democrat.

Let Them Be Firen1en

A woman can dress six minutes
faster than man, according to re-
cent test. Again point with shame to

women's clothes these days consist
more of what they do not wear than
what they wear The boys Will
have one advantage this summer.
though. There's still something left
for them to take off. . Women
these days spend most Of their time
dressing on their faces. We wonder
how a woman in this rougeful day
really looks. A married man
used to have to wait for his wife to
dress when they were going out. Now
it's she who does the swearing.
Women certainly have been enamel.
pated, as far as clothes are concerned.

GOOD RESULTS in MARYLAND
FROM FOREST WEEK

Remarkable progress has been
made in impressing upon people OF
Maryland the Importance of conser
walton of trees through the observ-
ance of American Forest Week in
this State, according to the report OF
the national committee, made public
this week by DeCourcy w. Thom.,
chairman of the group in charge OF
the campaign in Maryland.
American Forest Week was obser-
we'd from the Rio Grande river to the
Arctic under proclamations OF Presi-
dent Coolidge and the Governor
General of Canada and has been
more far-reaching and effective thar
any previous forest week in the five
years of it's history reports received
at the headquarters of the national
committee in Washington said.
eve can congratulate ourselves, ]
think. over the success of the Mary
land Forest Week of 1927 as evil
denced in the official report OF the
national committee" Mr.. Thorn. as
serted.
The national report, summing ur
the work done by the Maryland com
mittee, said:
Estate committee reports thai
striking American Forest Week pos
ters were placed in all street cars OF
Baltimore by the United Railways
and Electric Company, by the Balti
more and Ohio in all Maryland sta
tions and by the Consolidation Goa
Company in mines throughout West
ern Maryland. The Baltimore chap
ter of the Izaak Walton League sent
out special letters with the Presi
dents proclamation to all members
and to other clubs in the state. Ad-
dresses were made at public schools
and service clubs"
perhaps the most lasting effect
of the weeks observance" the re-
port said, lis the millions OF young
trees that were planted-most OF
them by boys and girls whose inter
est in forestry has been aroused
largely through the American For
est Week organizations and propa-
ganda. Much has been accomplish
ed by the cooperating agencies and
it is gratifying to know that in most
instances the forestry programs OF
these organizations will be carried
on throughout the year and not con
fined to one week."

FIXING PRICES

It is common belief among
farmers in Our Country, that in all
products except those grown on the
land the producer sets the price and
the customer has to pay it.
Farmers generally feel that the
middleman sets the price the farmer
receives, and that the consumer mas
to pay that price, to the detrlment
of all.
There is some truth in all these
statements, but just about the same
for all classes. Take employers OF
labor: Recently a New England
cotton mill shut down leaving lO,-
600 hands out of work, the market
for cotton slumping.
The manufacturer was forced to
close because the public was refus-
ing to pay what it cost him to turn
out the manufactured article.
The simple truth is, the manufac-
turer does not fix the price OF his
product much more than the farmer,
and neither of them can get more
for their stuff than the public IS able
or willing to pay.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1927-07-29

In this day no one drinks lntoxl-
eating liquors without violating the
laws to get it, says the Dover, DEL,
Index. Men who are known to
drink, are seen intoxicated or under
the influence of liquors, participate
in booze parties or are arrested for
driving automobiles while lntoxlcat-
ed are known by every one to De
criminals. If they are not, ashamed
it is because they have lost self-re-
spect. If others do not regard them
as criminals and treat them as such
it is because others are thoughtless
or have not kept abreast OF the times
and no longer look on the violation
of law as a serious thing, an offense
against society and degrading to the
offender. When public sentiment Is
properly adjusted and fully aroused
criminals will be regarded as ana
treated as such whether they nave
broken the law forbidding murder,
larceny and embezzlement or the
18th Amendment and the enforce
ment statutes.

INTELLIGENT ADVERTISING
BUILDS BUSINESS

The world marvels at the CROWN
of the American telephone system
Nothing has done more to put tele-
phones in practically every Amerl-
can home, than advertising.
Government owned telephone sys-
TENS in Europe see no need Tor ao-
yertising. The taxpayer has to COW
err deficits, and there is no incentive
for officials to maintain growing
telephone business and pay dlvl-
dends to hundreds of thousands OF
stockholders.
To show why the American sys-
TENS grows, it is only necessary TO
read some of the advertising OF local
telephone companies. A good illus
tration is advertising appearing In
Maryland newspapers during re-
cent month.
One advertisement appealed to the
young person at school to ring up
the folks at home and keep up the
personal contact. Another, pointed
out the cheer that is brought to par
ents when their young people VINO
have gone out in different walks OF
life, make little "phone visit" In
stead of merely trusting to an &C.
casional letter. Yet another, sug-
gested that young person away
from home, when confronted by
problems, gets comfort and help by
ringing up the home for advice.
All the advertising had the human
touch and appealed to every member
of every family. The American tele-
phone system grows and gives best
and cheapest service in the world
largely as the result OF continuous
and intelligent advertising.
