SHORT WORKING HOURS
AND TOO MUCH IDLE TIME
A six-hour day and a five-day week
may be among demands to be made
by the express division of the Broth-
erhodo of American Railway and
Steamship Clerks, stated Robert
Morgan, vice-president of the broth-
erhood, who presided at a recent
meeting of general committee chair-
men, representing 142,000 clerks.
One wonders at times just how far
labor unions will go in their demands
for shorter hours of employment.
Working hours have been gradually
reduced in accordance with their de-
mands until there are few industries
now where the employee gives more
than a third of the twenty-four hour
day to his job. Of course this is an
improvement over the time when
laborers spent the majority of their
hours in the shop or factory, with
only enough time off to eat and sleep.
It is true that every man needs some
time of his own for recreation. But
it is also true, that demands for lei-
sure can be caried too far.
The argument used for shorter
hours and fewer days is that the in-
dividual should have more time to de-
vote to improving his mind by read-
ing and other culturau pursuits.
There is no doubt that more time
spent in this manenr would be bene-
ficial. But the question arises as to
haw many of those who are given
more leisure spend this time in self-
improvement. How many on the
other hand do devote this time to
trying out the speed of their cars.,
adding to the income of road houses
or in over indulgence in sports?
There is a god deal of truth in
the ol dsaying the the devil finds
work for idle hands.

Graveled highways are like the lit-

are bad, they are horrid.

Franklin Texan:
Announcement has been made that
the State Highway Commission will
proceed at once with work on High-
way No. 43 through Leon County.
More than a million dollar bond is-
sue was authorized in Leon County
for the permanent improvement of a
road about two years ago, but the
bonds have not been sold because of
adverse market conditions. The
Highway Commission has voted now
to advance the money necessary for
the project on Highway 43, from the
Robertson County line to the An-
derson county line, and the work
will commence in the near future.
This announcement will be of great
interest to the people of this county
because a part of this road is the
main throughfare between Seale, in
this county, and Franklin.
Less than one in one hundred of
the clergymen in the United States
pay income tax.

The brave man doesn't run from life,
he takes the blows along with the
throes and usually wins in the race.
In this great game of life, we find
only a very few that is ready to en-
courage us along the way. But when
Mr. J. R. Mclver of this city gave one has set his self to any task with
us the price of another year's read-! an earnest consecration and a daunt-
ing. | less courage, there is no power
heaven or earth that will cause him
to completely fail.
The hard boil cynical tramp of the
open road, one of life's direlects, we
might say, drifting in Mid-ocean
going from place to place, without
money, without friends, uncareing
and uncared for, perhaps with a lit
tie courage, could have been an out
standing member of society today.
It takes courage to do . a heap of
things. It took courage for that
great theatrical manager, Charles
Froleman, to give his life belt to
woman passenger on the Lousitania,
as he helped her into the last life
boat, before the great vessel took its
final plunge that carried him to a
watery grave. It took courage for
those brave musicians to keep up the
sweet strains of "Near My God t<
Thee" as the boat was going down
and down. It was courage that
caused the stokers with their giant
muscilar forms striped to the waist
lines many feet below the water, as
they stood at their post. Yes, it
took courage to do that. It took
courage for the Master to submit to
cruel cross of Cavalry. It takes
courage to do a heap of things.
Once each month the sign painters
give me a new picture to look at,
Some times it's a mena's picture;
sometimes a lady's or perhaps both.
It is a cigarett sign; it looks as if
some amateur had climbed the
heavens and droped it out of a clear
sky. It is appealing to the eye, and
not for one month or week would
these cigarette establishments leave
out these signs in this day and time
with such keen competition it be-
hooves each of us to let the world
know what we have to offer and why
not take a lesson from these road-
side advertisements.

LIFE'S LIFTS
By Mrs. J. A. Andrews
Of a truth I preceive that God is
respect of person; but in every
nation he that feareth him, and work-
eth righteousness, is acceptable to
him.—Acts 10: 34-35.
General Lee said, "Duty is the sub-
limest word in the English Lan-
guage." Now if there were only a
few sublime words, we would add
courage or bravery to the sublime
few, for it takes a heap of courage
to do one's duty ofttimes.
Every person born into the world
needs an unlimited amount of cour-
age.. Every worthy purpose, every
cituation presents a challenge for
courage. It is needed in the school
rooms, in the pulpits, in the business
world and in the homes.
The Youth that says he doesn't
get encouragement to get an educa-
tion, doesn't need encouragement
near so much as he needs courage.
Mark Twain is quoted as having
said that bed was the most dangerous
place one could possibly be since sta-
tistics showed that more ppeople died
in bed than any place else.
Mr. Herd: "What is the most
deadly poison known?"
Addy: "Embalming fluid—you are
dead before it even touches you."
An uncomfortable place to live is
ju stbeyond your income.
How much one accomplishes de-
pends on his attitude toward the job
he is doing. The fellow who snaps
into his job with a zest and pep can
accomplish several times as much as
the man who dallies and dreams
through his work or who putters list-
lessly without any apparent purpose.

Adults Contract Children'*
Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children's diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adult3
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen-
sive medical treatments, without reali-
zing that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet. the symptoms are the
in children, loss of appetite
iding the teeth and rest-
ing of the nose and anus,
eame as in
lincth
,, itcmng oftto
and abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex-
pels round and pin worms from children
will do the same for adults — White's
Cream Vermifuge, which you can get at
John R. Burtis.
