REPUBLICAN STATE CHAIRMAN BOOK Labor Time Tokens is the name of a new book, neatly arranged and printed with attractive binding and illustrations which comes to our desk from the pen of a local philosopher and writer. C. A. Strickland The book is a "Dtadelpbian attempt to remove prejudice and instill serenity in the minds of men by plain idi oms". "No wage can pay him who is a channel for Truth. Be in tune with man and know thyself. To honestly and reverently heed the loves, hopes and will of one's own heart, builds right and makes man free; not a man over any group of men. Man starves for right, but cowards are always at war over 'rights', the affairs of men." Thus the book begins, and after dis cussing the economic problems of man today, closes with a solution. The whole book is different and is well worth careful reading. The so lution is 'different' and there are many surprises in facts concealed between its brown and read covers. I L.
