Understanding and Confidence
Have you ever worked for a man
whose intention and ability to pay
you what he had agreed to pay was
all the while questioned in your
mind?
How much sympathy, on the other
hand, have you, as an employer, been
able to cultivate for a worker whose
loyalty yOu distrusted?
It is difficult, too, for the em-
ploye to put his heart in his work
for an employer who has seemed to
lack sympathy and care for his
men.
On the other hand, a lack of
loyalty and integrity in an employe
has a disturbing effect on a whole
force from employer to office boy.
If business and employment in
business are'To be satisfying and
productive, there must be under-
standing and integrity betweerf em-
ployer and employe.
There may come a crisis in the
life of the concern. How much
better the chance to weather it, if
meiu..adL along the line have confi-
dence in each other! What a factor
in meeting adverse conditions is the
feeling that each man must do his
best to extricate the firm from its
pradicament! Such a condition cgp
be cultivated and it must be capti-
vated in fair weather if it is to help
the concern when it faces disaster.
There is security for any company
in knowledge that it is respected by
its .workers and that they are loyal
to ita interests. There is assurance
for the individual employe who has
reason for having a warm feeling of
pride in the concern that employs
him and satisfaction over his rela-
tionship with it.—Texaco Star.

DAYS OF LQJNG AGO
The old days so famous for ad-
venture and down in history as the
days of the birth of the American
nation, have been turned back and
are with us again in “The Covered
Wagon.” James Cruze’s Paramount
production which will be shown at
the National Theatre next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 7-8-9.
The great stretch of the western
plains forms a most magnificent
background, and five hundred or
schooners,” add greatness to this
colossal picture. True, it is a love
story, but this one is different. It
! is a love tale of the desert wastes,
| long and enduring with its thrilling
I climax, leading to the" reunion of the
j young couple, played by Lois Wilson
j and J. Warran Kerrigan, in a fron-
tier homestead in Oregon. “The
Covered Wagon” eclipses anything
in pictures.
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
On Sunday morning, July 6tk the
pastor will preach on “Our Pass-
over” and the Sunday evening sub-
ject will be “Our Faith." Mid-week
prayer services and choir practice
will be held as previously announced.
The choir is showing marked im-
provement but recruits are In great
demand. Every member of the
church who can sing is urged to be
at the main auditorium at .8:15
•very Friday evening. Church ser-
vices are never better vthan the
musi<v which is by way of saying
that no other feature adds so ma-
terially to the ultimate succea of
any service.
An out-of-town speaker of note
will deliver the dedicatory sermon
for the church and parsonage on
Sunday afternoon, July 13th. This
is expected to be the greatest day
in the history of the church. It will
not be a day of idle boasting _of
financial achievement, but it will be
one of prayerful thanksgiving for
the accomplishment of a great work
and of reverent dedication to a still
greater future development and
work.

Strength of Eggshells
An old trick is to hand someone
more covered wagons or “prairie an egg and tell him he can’t break
it by locking the fingers of both
hands together and placing the egg
endwise against the palms of the
hands, then squeezing on it as
hard as possible. If you are not
familiar with the trick you probably
think a'n egg placed in this po1
sition would he very easy to break,
but it is almost, if not absolutely,
impossible to break it. In trying
this, be sure that the pointed ends
of the egg are placed against the
palms of your hands, otherwise the
egg may be broken.

Reed Shields
Broken bottles, stones, etc., are the
favorite weapons for rioters in
Egypt, and to protect the police
from these crude barrages, they
have been furnished with shields.

Grand Bank fishing. Not only does
it follow its original occupation, but
it uses adaptations of the original
ipeans—the fore-and-aft rigged sail-
ing craft, which the Halifax-Glou-
cester fishermen races have of late
brought into new prominence.
One Ounce of Gold
One ounce of gold pays wages for
twenty hours’ work in the'"‘United
States, fifty hours work in Great
Britain, ninety hours’ work in Ja-
pan, 100 hours’ work in France, 200
hours’ work in Germany. This
means that Americans must main-
tain their past record for high out-
put per man to guarantee pros-
perity which will mean work for all
of us.
The World’s Best Seller
The general secretary of the New
York Bible Society reports that the
Bible is keeping up its reputation
as the world’s best seller. It is be-
ing sold at the rate of thirty million
copies a year, or eighty thousand
copies a day, yet it is said that if
all the Bibles which have been pub-
lished since the discovery of print-
ing, were brought together, there
would not be enough to give each
inhabitant of Asia a copy.
The Roosevelt Film Library
The first biographical film library
in this country was installed in the
restored birthplace of Theodore
Roosevelt in New York on the Colo-
nel’s birthday—Oct. 27, 1923. It
took six months to compile, the pic-
turized life story of Roosevelt which
will feature the opening of the colo-
nel’s birthplace as a national mu-
seum.
“Now children,” said tty teacher,
“who can tell me what the word
‘odorless’ means ? ”
Willie Jones was sure he knew.
“Well. Willie, what does it mean?”
“Odorless means without scent,”
hev piped.
"Right. Now who can give a
sentence using thd word correctily?”
continued the teacher.
“Pleas, ma’am, Vhfen you are
odorless you cannot ride in the trol-
ley cars ”
Mrs. Murphy had received a cable-
gram from her son in India, saying
that he wotild be home shortly. She
showed it to her neighbor, Mrs.
Casey.
“Wonderful quick things these
telegraphs, aint’ they?” said Mrs.
Casey.
"Quick ain’t the word for it; the
gum ain’t dry yet what’s on the
envelope.”
“John, your manners are awful!
I noticed that you dusted the chair
at Mrs. Heep’s before you sat down.
And their little boy was watching
you. too.”
“Yes! And I was watching him!
I am too old a fish to be caught on
a bent pin!”
The inspiration of active life lies
in the fact that it is the well doing
which meets at last with the well
done.
Adversity has the effect of elicit-
ing talents which in prosperous cor-
cumstances would have lain dormant.
An Historic Oak
Although the W’ashington Elm is
dead, the country is not thereby
bereft of all ita historic trees. The
oak under which John Eliot preached
to the Indians more than a century
before Washington took command
of the Continental army, still flour-
ishes at South Nautick, Massachu-
setts. Thanks to good tree surgery
and heavy chains bracing its limbs,
it survived the ice storm which
swept that section two years ago.

It was raining “cats and dogs,”
and John stepped into a store to
avoid getting wet. Noticing a coun-
ter full of umbrellas, he decided
to buy a cheap one and go on his
way. “How much is this?’’ he
asked, pointing to one.
“Two dollars, sir,” replied the
storekeeper.
“Hum,” growled John, “1 used to
be able to buy an umbrella like
that for fifty cents.”
“Yes, I know,” replied the store-
keeper; “but you must remember
that umbrellas always go up when
it rains.”

coqpmittee in London, who said that
under terrible weather conditions
the explorers continued their strug-
gle until George Leigh-Mallory and
A. C. Irvine died during the final
dash.

The Presbyterian Synod at its
closing session in Jacksonville, 111.,
Thursday, June 19, adopted resolu-
tions protesting against^the method
chosen by the War Department for
honoring General Pershing on his re-
tirement from the service, Septem-
ber 12, by a gefieral mobilization of
the military forces of the country.

protest from the synod and request
some other less military method of
honoring the retiring war comman-
der.

vice to the women of the Near East,

The Stream of Traffic
The United States has, roughly
speaking, one automobile to every,
nine or ten inhabitants. Within a
few years, if economic conditions
alone are considered, the streets, not
only in the cities but also in the
villages, will be incapable of accom-
modating the ever-increasing stream
of traffic.
