How are you going to bring these things about? We want 10 pay them as much as we can, not because of desire to give or a desire to get more, but on the cost per unit of their production.
 Benefits Fer Paper Worker We give everybody in our whole plant q vacation with pay. We pay the highest rate of wages to every body in the business and bonus besides: We give them the best work ing conditions, new baseball fields. S150,O00 club house. Last year we gave s150, ,o00 to new Y. NJ. C. A. We organized a beneficial society where a man gets $lO a week when he is sick, and his family is cared for when he dies. We let employees buy stock out of their wages, and they become partners in the busi- ness. Many of our employees are stockholders"
 Col. Franklin concluded by quot ing Bishop Manning's recipe for suc- cess, Fear God, work hard and be

 Your Spizzerinktum
 Flows your spizzerinltum? 2" was the subject of an address by James Gheen of Albany, N. Y.
 Mir. Gheen. introduced as a hum-
 orist and philosopher as well as a publicity man and Chamber of Com merce expert, kept the audience in throes of laughter for a half hour with humor and wit before he final. ly settled down to the serious side of his address.
 "A Chamber of Commerce must 1 have an ideal to exist" he began. 1 ''The ideal of any kind of Chambers | of Commerce is to make a city they serve as nearly an ideal city as pos
 slbie. The ideal city is one that has
 every good thing every city ought 10 | have and eliminates every bad thing
 every good city ought not to have.
 ''Som etimes we attempt 10 look
 for the ideal city without looking
 for ideal citizens. If you try to
 have an ideal city and do not have | ideal citizens, you'll find the citizens
 you have will soon put the city on
 the bum. That may seem why we | have service clubs, churches, WOm- ans clubs and others of their kind
 in order that we may become as
 nearly ideal citizens as possible. | Do you want 10 make your city
 an ideal city? How do you look
 about for new things? A community l afflicted with cowardice dare not
 undertake new ventures.
 What Makes a Conservative? "You must be guided at all times | by consideration of what is new | and what is better. If the spirit | that the town is dead prevails in the
 community, it is up to you citizens
 to see that it is corrected. How about your conservatism :? | Oh, yes, We have some conservatives 1 in Albany, but there is Q suspicion that they came from New England.
 "A conservative is a man who be- lieves that nothing should ever be done for the first time. These fel- ION $ are ulNdSS dl lOSStI HtuHS "llI the progreSsiyeS who are thinking and planning for the city's future" :" Illustrating the method for over coming community conservatives Mir Gheen told of a meeting where one man who sang loudly was con- spicuously out of tune. lis singing
 was embarrassing the otaers. The
 word was passed along the line
 Sing louder" Everybody sang loud CT and drowned out the singer who
 was out of tune. That's the secret those of you who can sing, get to- gether and drown out the man who is out of tune,' he said.
 "One thing people of the com munity must differentiate between IS the wants and needs of community Roger Babson says only two per cent of the people of any commun- ity do any constructive thinking for the community. Is New Britain up to the average? Have you got two per cent?
 If we are to improve our cities, more is needed than mere sugges- tions from a group of technical eX- perts. People must understand that their dignity, health and happiness are bound up in their city.
 Then shall arise an expansion of
