From the ranks of the beneficiaries
themselves comes a protest against
the tipping habit The Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters has appealed
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for a wage scale which will per-
nit it's members to dispense with the
gratuties long associated with their
calling. and which system they term
a "holdover from slavery days"
Their complaint is based on the as
sertion that the public in year pays
more than 100000 in tips to sleep
ing car porters for service which
should be paid for by the railroads.
and that because of this the porters'
regular wages are held down to a
minimum. On poor runs they
claim, they cannot make a living.
The tipping system is, to say the
least, annoying to many people, both
giver and recipient. 1t is little more
or less than alms-giving. AS a mat
ter of satisfaction to both the public
and the recipient of tips the system
might we'll be cast into the discard.

do not think that we are ready to be
buried. In fact this village has got
ten some good and favorable publici-
ty at various times. We spend for
village purposes each year only what
we collect in taxes.
To be sure, credit is necessary and
is good thing but it can easily be
misused and overdone. 1t is good
that there is such a thing as issuing
bonds when necessity requires it, but
the tendency was quite widespread
for some years to bond and to bond,
paying little heed to the necessity
for arranging matters so that the
bonds could be taken care of at some
time and not always passing it to the
next generation. The next generation
will have problems enough of it's own.
We cannot solve them decades ahead,
and it is worse yet to leave burdens
of our spending.
A pay as you CO. plan is well for
all of us to keep uppermost in our
minds yet for while.

About this time of the year it seems
to be an annual event that there are
coal strikes and troubles in the mines.
At many of the mines the houses in
which the miners live are owned by
the mine owners and when the miners
and their families are driven out in
the winter time it is a serious matter.
If the job is hand to mouth propo-
sition with them one can readily see
that their position is not to be en-
We'd. Things must not be as they
should be or the trouble would not
come so regularly.

If I had to live my life over again,
| would have made rule to read some
poetry and listen to some music at
least once a week; or perhaps the
parts of my brain now atrophied
would thus have been kept in active
use.
The loss of these tastes is the loss
of happiness. and may possibly be
injurious to the intellect, and more
probably ito the moral character, by
enfeebling the emotional part of our
nature.-Darwin.

A FRIEND in NEED

AS I was riding out in the country
the other day, spied my friend, Mike
who was having trouble with his car
Beside him stood his wife looking
down at the engine with great con-
Germ.
Pulling up alongside of his car,
stopped to ask, 'can 1 be of any SER
vice to you, Mixer"
He dropped his wrench and looked
at me with appealing eyes. "You
sure can, John, if you can spare few
minutes"
''Why, certainly" I answered, what
shall 1 do?"
Answer my wife's questions till I
fix this car" he replied.
