jnwvJ down. IliM hardly loo!:s like a square deal, and it is
especially true on the railroads, where freight rates average prob-j
ably 100 per cent higher than in pre-war times and passenger
fares are still considerably above the old levels, remarks the Eu
gene Guard.
: Reductions in wages against which the railroad shopmen
are striking brings the earnings of a large number "below the
level of a minimum living standard," according to a statement
issued a few days ago by the research department of the Social
Service Commission of the federal council of the Churches of
Christ of America,
1' The bureau thus estimates wage scales under the reduction,
assuming a year's full time employment:
' Maintenance of Way Emplayes Maximum at average of
32.7 an hour, $817.55; minimum at 23, $574.
Shop Craft Employes (fixed scale) Machinists, 70.3 an
hour, $1753.41; carmen, 64.4, $1607.42.
Estimate of the United States Department of Labor of
amount necessary to maintain a family of five "in health and
decency" for year, $2036.22.
After a survey of the reductions the statement concludes :
"It is perfectly patent that the wage reductions ordered
bring the earnings of large numbers of employes below the level
of a minimum living standard. It is also clear, however grave
the crisis, that any effort to enforce as mandatory the board's
decision will be contrary to the law as expressly interpreted at
the time of its passage and will be regarded by the men as a
breach of faith."
While it may be possible the estimates of the labor board of
the cost of living may be too high, it is quite certain that pay
standards of certain railroad employes, as fixed by the 3ame
board, is altogether too low at this time. Labor should not be
compelled to deflate to old levels until other costs are proportion
ately reduced.

RIGHT USE OF REST TIME.

It is often remarked that you can tell the people who are get
ting home from a vacation, by their look of weariness. Alter
they gut over the physical fatigue, they will be the better for the
change in scene and the refreshment of new faces and pursuits.
Some indoor workers may be bent over desks and ledgers all the
V:X of the year, yet they seem to think they all at once ptr

HOW'S YER HOME BREW?

Pep l anything that puts happiness
Into the heart, energy Into the body,
determination Into the soul and in
vincible courage In the will.
The young folks used to say they'd
rather have a touring car, so they
could take their, friends riding, but
lately they have decided that a coupe
is just as good, since the whole party
piles into the front seat anyhow.
. NOT ASLEEP.
On the corner of a block In a down
town section Is a restaurant with the
flaming sign:" Never Closed." On the
other corner a drug store displays Its
motto: "Open All Night."
Between the two, Wu Ting Lung has
his modest laundry. Not to be out
done by the Yankees, he has flung out
an electric sign that can be read for
a block or more. It reads: "Me Wakee
Too."

Almost every man has two voices
one for the telephone and an entirely
different one for other purposes.
AUNT HET SAYS:
"I never In my life tried to lis

automobile didn't start up somewhere
and make such a racket a body

would be big.
Think it over. Why shouldn't our churches stand on their own feet and

What would this town be without churches! You would not live in it,
for it wouldn't lie a fit place to live in. You need the church. The church
needs you and the church needs advertising.

Formerly the business men of cities and towns never seemed
to think it was their business to do anything to increase rural
production. They thought that was the farmer's affair exclusive
ly. Now progressive organizations f business men are taking
hold of projects to improve agricultural production, so that it
jilinll create new sources of wealth. The New lern, North Caro
lina chamber of commerce, for instance, has organized a cam
paign to promote better methods among the farmers of their
county. The chamber has an agricultural expert, who serves
ajj field secretary. The chamber's campaign promotes diversifi
cation of crops, and helps find profitable markets for them. They
propose to reach and assist every fanner in the county. If the
agricultural development of Douglas county were promoted in the
smile thorough way, a considerable increase in the wealth of this
community could be secured.

the skill of the maker. Mr. ilow-

of splendid fiddlo-bows. Our city Is
