Sunday Noon
Club Speaker
Albert R. H. Miller at Sec
Ond Church Next
Sunday

I Albert r. II. Miller of the Coz
lumbia Conserve company of In
dianapefis. and former minister of
the. Central church of Christ in
Auburn, New York, will be the
speaker at the Sunday Noon club
Iiof the Second Congregational
church next Sunday and will speak
on the subject: IAN Experiment in
Industrial Democracy"
Mr. Miller is representative of
growing concern that is run
along cooperative lines which the
good people of indianapolis say Is
nothing more or less than applied
Christianity. For this concern not
only has a sinking fund for those
who grow too old to be productive
but has also made provisions for
operating expenses for hospitals.
medical attention, dental bills for
both workers and their depend
ents. There is<a three weeks va
cation, with pay, for every worker
each year. Fear of old age, fear
of poverty, fear of sickness; fear
of lack Of a job, these are, all done
away by, a modern business con-
Germ that is run without boss.
Fifteen years ago, the well
known Hapgood brothers inherited
a canning factory. and as an eS-
pertinent, they turned it over to
the employees to run. To-day it
stands as the worlds only social
lied industry. where wages are
determined by personal need and
not efficiency, and where the most
mental laborer may criticize the
way every, superior handles his
job. All this sounds unbelievable,
but it is nevertheless true.
Hear Mr. Miller next Sunday
noon at the Sunday Noon club and
ask him questions. The general
public is most cordially invited to
attend.

Roadside
Decorations
Good Time to Make a Start
| in Waterbury

With the number of men en-
ployed by the Mutual Aid associa-
ton many hope that attention will
be turned to roadside decoration in
waterbury. Some Of this kind of
work is being done all over the
United States and there is no rea-
son why it should not interest Wa
terbury.
This matter has been discussed
for years, but that's all 1t has a.
mounted to. AS rule the speech
es on roadside decoration are made
during the winter season, but when
the time comes that the work could
be carried on not a word is heard
about it. The same thing Is true
Of many private individuals, who
talk planting when the snow Is on
the ground and forget all about IT
when the fine weather sets in and
the soil is right for cultivation.

Dogs Desecrate
Public Lawns.
Property Owners. Aroused Claim Law Not Invoked
By Officials Entrusted to Enforce Statute

nothing is being done to give re-.
lief. The reply made to most
complaints comes with a query as
to who owns the stray dogs and
how do you know whether they
are registered or not. This is a real
case of adding insult to injury. Pri-
vate individuals are not supposed
to know these things. The law
places the responsibility upon the
officials to see that dog owners
observe the law. 1t is common
knowledge that this is not being
done, and as a result the appear
ance of many dooryards are far
from being presentable.
This is true of all parts OF the
city. 1t has been SO for long time
and regardless of the number OF
complaints the nuisance is on the
increase. Nobody finds fault with
the dog in its own place, but the
idea of having yard torn up that
cost money to get in presentable
does not set we'll on any
body. Besides, some of these ours
are vicious and one takes chances
of being bitten if he attempts to
drive them off the dooryard.

Davis and Wardell at opposite ends

1t was dark before all the milk

They started on signal from
Wardell, moving more consciously
together as mass than ever be-
fore. AS they left the village, they
were grim, still. Once outside it
they began to laugh. They felt
strong. They also felt afraid.
BY then it had begun to snow
again, fat, heavy flakes.
How long do you think this lot
will last?" asked Davis in the head
car with Wardell.

milk, of course, only few days"

The cars moved slowly, so close
together that the lights, many of
them dim or missing, cast blurred
glare from the rear-ends on the
snow.
A car appeared moving in the
other direction. 1t stopped. They
came abreast and stopped also.

morning. "Tell them we're organ
