when American put up large quantities of fruits and
vegetables for the winter
Mr. Ford declares that too lazy to work in gar

has undoubtedly stirred up controversy that is getting him

Reduced Working Days and
Hours for i. S. Service

In ndorsing the principle Of five days week and six
hours day Federal workers. the National Federation Of
Federal Employees falls into step with the big labor organa
tions and with sentiment in that direction.
Uncle Sam urged to set example in the shorter work
day. without pay, aid to relieving une-
poymen and the subject will be discussed from time to time
In Congress
there solutions of unemployment better than this
Of shorter hours in this country civil service workers will
eventually have these hours along with industry generally
but it is quite certain that there will little disposition in
Congress adopt this proposed solution the coming session
Instead the Federation of Federal Employees is going to
have its hands full opposing propositions Congress to
reduce the pay of Federal workers without giving them
shorter hours.
Economy plans Congress to attempt the reduc
tion of few millions Of dollars annually from the salaries
Of small paid workers. while highly paid officials backed by
political influence will escape reductions.
There is always fuss about pay Of the little fellows
yet the big holes that swallow up Federal money never
stopped up.

One of those days when you
feel that you can't go on, when
the old grief and discourage
ment drag like quicksilver at
your heelS-yes? Then read
this. Maybe it will help you.
It's a story about Aaron
Burr. Marquis James heard
it in the mountain of Ten
nessee, where he's working on
his big Life Of Andrew Jack
son." At the time of the Incl
dert, Burr was old and weak.
His ambitions had failed. He
had played the game of life
hard, and the bad bills were
coming in, all together. He
had innumerable enemies, only
a few friends whom he could
love and trust. Then, sud-
denly, his only grandson died,
and his only child, beautiful
Theodosia, whom he adored,
was lost at sea.
His friends surrounded him
in a plying, watchful circle.
They did not think that he
could Withstand this double
shock. But he went about his
law business as usual, quietly,
grimly. Sat there behind his
desk, brooding. They thought
him more dead than alive.
An HystericaI Woman
Then in rushed one of those
fretty, pampered women who
think that the universe revolves
around their petty affairs. Part
of her fortune had been lost.
She was hySterical.
"Oh, Colonel Burr! Oh,
Colonel Burr!" she cried.
However am I going to get
through this calamity?"
Live through it, madame"
said old Aaron, Give through
it,"
Live through it" You've
known times when you didn't
think that was possible. Per
hapS you're passing through
such a time now.
Some dreadful shock or loss
Sickness, poverty, death. You're
numb. dazed. heart-broken.

The credit Of the nation was
threatened. The world looked
on, not little appalled, by the
possibilities.
one thing stood out like q
challenge-money, great sums,
must be raised to save the
credit of England-and the ma
tion. To raise this money, and
this was Snowden's task, meant
temporary compromises on the
policies of his party.
And Snowden put the nation
first: met the jeers' of his erst-
while associates with serenity,
and passing into the wilderness,
as far as party is concerned,
took his place among the i'm

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

Everything seems at an end.
How can you go on? WHATS
there to go on for?
But you can go on. And
there is something to go on
for. You can Live through
it,. live through the darkness
and desolation. and slowly,
but surely, your desire will
come back again and dreams
will stir and a fire quicken
where there were only ashes.
But 1 can't rouse myself"
you cry. MY mind seems to
have lost its grip. I haven't
the will to live. I can't make
myself care"
Renewed Desires
You don't need to make your
self care. Life will make you
care again. life will renew
your dreams and desires. It
will do this automatically, with
out your volition. stirring new
urgency in you as it stirs new
sap in the spring. Life will do
this for you, and you need not
plan or struggle-YOU NEED
ONLY BE WILLING.
But that's the hardest part
about grief-OUR OWN UN-
WILLINGNESS TO GIVE TT
UP. We can live through 1t,
we can be happy again and
eager and active and hopeful
but we so seldom want to! For
grief is such a convenient es-
cape from reality and response
bility. such a perfect alibi for
lazineSS and cowardice and SELL
ishneSS. such a simple way
to grab the spotlight. And so
we hang back in the Soggy
security of our self-pity and
general cussedneSs-and then
wonder why life is such a fall
ure!
Life won't fail you if you
don't fail life. You can live
through the darkest night into
a brand-new morning-if you'll
just follow on. do the next
thing. go through the mo-
tions. BE WILLING TO LIVE.

his budget-his "tax and ak

provided infinitely greater sac

The unemployed man living

There is no finer figure on
earth today than Philip Snow

nor a Cambridge. From boy
hood he has never known a
painless day.
From little house in wind

in childhood, on a world of
limited opportunities. He be-
longed to a class that was then
despised by those who were the
rulers of the state.
In time, he became a leader

England Seemed

usual.
He was suffering mentally,
for his was a painful task. And
for an hour. he set forth with
mathematical exactness the ira
gic figures calling for tremend-
GUS sacrifices.
His face was pale and drawn;
at times his whole frame shook
with emotion-but he was driV-
ing on to- duty.
And then, his grim face lighted
with a kind of eXaltation. he
closed one of the most memor-
able speeches in the history of
the commons with a quotation:
"AlI our past prOclaims our
future:
ShakeSpeare's voice and Nelson's
hand,
MiItOn's faith and WOrdSwOrth'S
trust

And then, as he sank ex-
hauSted into his Seat-a mira
Gle, and yet, in England not a
miracle.
The Conservatives and Lib
erals and some of the Laborites
rose spontaneously to their feet
cheering wildly. Among those
in the demonstration was Stan
ley Baldwin, traditional foe, and
former premier.
Silk hats, papers, handker-
chiefs, were thrown into the air.
And then it was, with Mac
Donald, Baldwin, SamuelS, bend
ing before him that he looked
toward the gallery and smiled
at a beautiful woman-hiS wife.
But here is the really splen-
did thing about that demon
stration-many Of those who
cheered the widest were the

representatives of property and
willingness Of Money in En-

PRINCE 0F HOSTS HARNESSES FALLS ID

Interesting is the manner in which natures forces are put to service to aid man as is the method L. w. Bishop, Prince of Hosts," at the famous Russian River stream, by which he catches salmon for consumption by his foxes and also for human use.
 Taking advantage of falls in the river, located about 200 yards distant from his residence, MT. Bishop places box about five feet long, three feet wide and three feet deep, just below the drop in the flow of the water so that part of the running water flows into the box and seepS out thru the creviceS in same.
 The spawning salmon, which may come over the falls. will fall into the box but instead of con- tinuing on through the crevices, as the water, they remain in the box.
 Then, all MT. Bishop has to do it haul in his box with the sal mon and prepare it for the smok- ing and drying. At present he has

UTAH MINING MAN SAYS SILVER WILL

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. II. More outspoken than his collea- gues on the silver delegation just back from Washington, George Shy der, who represented the interna- tional silver commission, declares that the future of silver is as sure as any mundane possibility can be. Speaking of the mission to Wash ington, he said:
 T do not believe the moratorium matter will interfere in the least with favorable action on silver. I feel perfectly safe in going on re- cord with the following prediction:
 "A bill which will have the ef- feet of remonitizing silver will be introduced in the coming session of Congress and. thanks to the splendid efforts of Senators Shoot. King, Borah and Pittman, will be passed.
 My confidence is based on the fact that there is a great deal of support for silver in the United States as we'll as in Canada and Mexico and that there is no organ ized opposition to a remonetization program. It is certain to come"
