with it is one of importance to the whole Pacific Coast It will mean more railroad building on the Coast that we have had for several years, and it will open up country that now has no direct con- nection with transcontinental railroad. The new line will be east of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Northern California. The new line will get into the Sacramento Valley by following Feather River through the mountains. Not only will it open up some choice California valleys but it will help DOT tions of Nevada that have not first class rail- road facilities
 One of the things that interests the Great North ern particularly will be the tonnage of California fruit that it will be able to distribute in the Northern tier of States through which it's trans continental line runs The attractions the two rail- road companies will be able to offer to tourists con- stitute another important factor.

 It's a funny life. A wife gives her husband a useless think like a smoking jacket and she would be sore if he took it back and eX- changed it for something useful, yet no matter how useful present he gives her, she would consider herself abused if she couldn't take it back and exchange it for some thing useless.

 Will power is what man now needs a lot of to make his eyes behave when he is sitting in a room full of girls who aren't paying any attention to where their skirts are going.
 Modern children spend so little time around home they are not missed much when they marry, and if they didn't need money they probably wouldn't be missed at all, since that is the only time good many of them hang around long enough to talk to their parents.
 There were fewer triangles when women spent a lot of time in the kitchens and almost none in the beauty parlors.
 The sad part of it is that after a good many of these neckers marry they will just get to be a pain in i the neck to each other.
 It sounds ridiculous but it is a fact that skirts that much longer now would look just as absurd as the half-grown hair does.

 MT. Kiloh's son was driving at he time of the slide, and only es- ,aped from being buried with the ear by jumping and running. The slide carried the car over the road md covered it with tons of snow and rocks.

Electricity and Working Conditions.
(Idaho Post, Idaho FallsO


 The application of electricity to the necessary tasks of mankind has caused industrial revolu- tion similar to that of the latter eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when steam was first harness ed and applied to locomotives, boats and manu- featuring machinery Electricity, by replacing steam in many operations, has caused of tre- mendous further progress along the same lines. Steam power expedited production and increased the productivity of workers; electric power gives each worker the equivalent strength of dozens of strong men.
 The results lowered unit cost and prices, increased wages, expanded prosperity and most inn portant of all, higher standards of living. few generations ago laborer exactly what the word suggests his assets the strength of his muscles and the width of his back. In many parts of the world where industry has not yet triumphed, this is still true But in the United States and to a lesser extent in the progressive foreign coun- tries, the industrial worker, instead of swinging pick turns switch and guides machine that is miracle of efficiency.
 Twenty years ago average working week was 60 hours. Today it is A hours The average family income was then $500 year, today it is $2200. Then 10 million people had bank accounts averaging $70O each today 23 million people have bank sav- ings of $1 900 each. And it is estimated that now at least 10 million people securities in our business enterprises. Of such is the kingdom of electricity. And may believe that what has been done in the past is little than a beginning to vast achievements of the future.

FOR THE MAN OVER FIFTY

Statistics for insurance companies
declare that when a man reaches the
age of 5112 years he has run the
average span of life. Before there
were labor unions and better factory
and housing conditions the average
span of life was about 35 years.
1t may be some consolation to know
that out of every 100 people who are
now 5115 years of age, AZ will live
beyond 60 Thirty of them will live
beyond 70, and out of every 500 peo-
pie over 20, but one will live beyond
100. thirds of the centenarians
are women.
The one big job of medical science
today is to lengthen the lifetime, pro-
long the age of expectation. Some
doctors work directly to this end, and
all are working indirectly.
1t may be pertinent to ask if the
economic and social world is keep
ing pace with the medical world?
For what shall it profit man to
live his three score and ten if he
must struggle through misery just
that many years more?
The problem of the aged is the
problem of society. There is nothing
more saddening than a dependent
man or woman in the sunset of life,

them below what is recognized as a
living wage. A working mans week

than mere dollars and cents. 1t rep

possible through the results of his
which determines what measure of
decency, of comfort and of opportun-
ity the wage Garner will enjoy in this
life. The amount of the wage die
tates whether the home shall be an
insanitary back room in a congested
poverty-stricken district or cozy
cottage, surrounded by pure air and
sunshine and conducive to health and
comforts.
The dollars and cents which find
their way into the weekly pay en-
velope determine the quality
and quantity of the nourishing food
which shall enter the workers home.
They influence the conveniences and
opportunities which the wage earner's
family can enjoy They determine the

whether his body shall be vigorous

best employees only by giving them
the best that is in his power to give.

one of his ancestors, also society
man of many love affairs, was carried
off by the Corsairs during one Of the
wars. While he was lying In prison he
made a vow that if he ever returned
to Spain alive he would join the Good

would carry heavy cross. This he
did, and furthermore, he made q con-

" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes nippantly,
sometimes recklesgly.

Radio broadcasters, through their
association and working with the
Better Business Bureau, plan GEN.
sorship of medical advertising on the
air, so as to cut out so-called fakes
and to label all advertising as such.
This is good-and also may be bad.
Suerly it will be good for the school
of medicine that gets its brand put
on the standardization all others
will howl to high heaven, without
much avail.
Radio advertising needs attention,
and so does lot of printed advertis-
ing. Advertising is on a runaway.
1t has gone mad, looney and boloney.
The radio listener has to listen to
CUFF that palpably is advertising. He
has to listen while the same voice in
turn praises hair nets, a voilin solo
and brand of gasoline. He has to
listen to talks that are bought and
paid for, and nobody tells him the
inner truth of the arrangement.
If broadcasters knew how MANY
times night dials are whirled to get
away from these and other abuses
they would mend their ways more
quickly than any censorship can mend
them.
The sickening Capt. Fried cigarette
stunt has been lambasted by other
and more capable pens. This gent did
fine thing and then spoiled it all by
attributing his heroism to the brand
of smoke he used. In the end it all
turned to hop.
All advertising, radio and printed,
is running to superlatives. 1t is run
ming to gush and such palpable silli-
ness that faith in all advertising is
! being endangered. Advertising serves
/, legitimate purpose, but the wealth
of money behind it is likely to become
its ruination.
There is reason for all this: Many
firms, of late years, have taken to
spending their swollen profits in con-
struction, in advertising, in bonuses
and one sort and another of ventures
that will dodge the income tax lev
les, which run high on big income
| figures.
Unquestionably, if it were not for
the income tax, advertising expendi-
lures would be less lavish.
The money being there in a golden
! stream, it must be expended. Loose
money leads to loose methods in
/ spending. The whole machinery final
| ly gets loose and Mr.. Surplus Wealth
can reach for a lucky instead of a
sweet because in his other pocket he
has nothing but sweet rolls of bills.
Oh gush, oh palaver, oh pain in the
neck!
1t never occurs to the Big Spend
ers, the Big Batter and Gravy Men
from the high places, to use little
more of their wealth in raising
wages, in levelling up employment
in going about those things that
would would be productive of more
] buying capacity and better business
The whole thing is the product Of
/ short-sightednes that is fearful to
/ behold.

The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-03-29

paradoxes of business life that the
manufacturing concern which tries to
give the lowest wages tries also to
get the highest price out of the pub
lie for its commodity, whereas the
concern which pays the highest wages
will be found to be giving the public
the highest value for its money. The
advantage of right method is that
it is right all around, and one thing
done right leads on to another, and
that to another, until the circle of
benefit is complete.-Henry Ford
