We want all the support we
can get from friends of labor in
Chicago" Joe Rhoden, chairman
Of the scale committee of Chicago
Typographical Union No. is, told
the printers at a strikers meet
ing this week.
One way in which support
ers of the strike can help is by
following the example of some
organizations. which have
adopted policy of urging their
members 10 cancel their SUBJ
scriptions for home deliveries
until the strike is won."
AN INDICATION of the pub

papers was given when letter
from a Sun subscriber was read
to the strikers. Ray Mccarthy,
the subscriber, Cancelled his home

statement that he will be

AS Rhoden spoke, thousands OF
workers in the Stockyards were
receiving copies of a leaflet put

recommended that union men and

THINGS THAT SHOULD
NOT BE POSTPONED
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher
DO not nostpone love.

OO nOC postpone love.
Love and the expressions of love,
the kindly words and smiles and
helpful deeds, are like the mamma
that fell in the wilderness. They
will not keep. 1t is a crop that
must be gathered and spent every
day.
Another thing about love is that
it is not Subject to the law of
thrift. Do not economic in love.
For the more you spend of it the
more you have. Throw it away,
give it away, splash it over, and
tomorrow you will have more. But
if you hoard it very probably to-
morrow your hoard will be dried
leaves.
Do not postpone play. Do a
little of it today. One of the most
efficient men I know, when asked
when he took his vacation, re-
piled, Every day." Keeping ever
lastingly at it may bring success.
It also brings paralysis and nervous
prOStration.
Be efficient. But there is such
a thing as being too darned eff
ficient
Do not postpone learning. No
day should pass without mind
sweat. And a month or a year
without any hard study is sure
to bring on one of the commonest
and most fatal diseases is,
fatal in the sense of being bore
some and reducing the power of
ones personality. And that dis
ease is mental flabbiness.
Do not postpone physical ex-
ercise. The time to take your ex-
ercise is when you do not want to.
Do not postpone beauty. If you
have passed whole day and have
never seen thing that you admire
or that thrills you with it's lowell
ness, whether a leaf, a flower, a
picture, or a face, that is a day
lost.
Do not postpone wonder. Do not
devote every day to things that
you understand. Around you is an
Infinite you cannot understand.
Keep your mind up against it. For
