PUTTING AMERICANS
ON THE JOB
There is food for thought for
all state governments in a re-
cent action by the Federal
Government, taken at the in-
stance of the State of Massa-
chusetts. 'Briefly, Massachu-
setts asked the Federal Com-
missioner of Labor to stop is:
suing labor permits to French-
Canadian workers until times
improve, and Washington
thereupon cancelled all exist-
ing permits and issued an or-
der to refrain from granting
any more for a time. As a re-
sult hundreds of American
workingmen are back on the
pay-roll.
The situation arose from the
closing down of many news-
print mills in Canada, where
paper for most of the newspa-
pers in the United States is
made. This action throw hun-
dreds of French-Canadian
wood-choppers out of work and
they flocked across the border
into Maine and readily got jobs
cutting timber for pulpwood
for American mills.
French-Canadians have a
special aptitude for chopping
down trees. It takes a special
knack to fell a tree so that it
will not injure standing tim-
ber in its fall, and this is an art
that ha3 long been mastered
by Quebec workers. They are
much sought after by all com-
panies who are felling forests.
In former years many of
these men emigrated to New
England and became natural-
ized, pursuing their former
calling. Recently, however,
they found work slack and
flocked by the hundreds to Bos-
ton and other Yankee coast
towns, waiting for hard times
to end. Meanwhile hundreds of
French-Canadians have been
working in the Maine woods
while their American fellow-
workers were idle. This has all
been changed by action from
Washington.
Other states might profit by
following Massachusetts’ ex-
ample. It might pay Florida
to investigate how many Cuban
cigar-makers are working In
Tampa; Texas might study
how many Mexicans are riding
herd while American cowboys
are whittling; Kansas may be
employing many Canadian
harvest hands, and so on.
There is hardly a state in the
Union which might not be able
to return many of its taxpayers
an dcitizens to work by un-
covering a similar situation to
that of the alien wood-choppers
in the Maine woods and fol
lowing the lead set by Massa-
chusetts.

Williams states that this equip-

“AND THEN—?“
A salesman sent into the
tropics to sell agricultural ma-
chinery, came back with a
story which illustrates a num-
ber of things.
He found the natives con-
tentedly sitting around while
abundant Nature grew all their
food with the slightest possible
effort on their part
“If you had a plow and a
harrow you could grow more
food,” said the salesman.
"And then—?” asked the
native.
"Then you could get money
for it and buy more land.”
"And then—?”
"Why, then you could buy
more machinery and grow still
more food and get more
money.”
“And then—
“Why, then, after a while
you would have so much mon-
ey you wouldn’t need to work.”
“But I would be no better off,
Senor. I don’t work now!”
To those who hold to tbs
Puritan doctrine that work is
a virtue in itself and that he
does not work is a sinner, the
spectacle of anybody getting a
living without working is ab-
long. He may tumble from his
tricycle in an unusual spurt of
speed. He cuts his scalp; it
bleeds something fierce; he
runs to mamma howling for
first aid.
Don’t fear fracture of the
skull from a trifling injury.
Don’t fear bleeding to death.
Wash the wound with clean
soap and warm water, using
clean things always. Don’t
pour peroxide in a scalp
wound at any period. After
washing as above, paint the
wound with tincture of iodine;
smarts a little, but apply it
freely. Dust freely with tal-
cum powder and apply a loose
bandage. Keep the wound dry
until recovery.
For a "crop” of chiggers, get
at ’em early as possible, before
they have bored in deeply.
First a scrubbing with good
soap and water; dry, and apply
the bug-i-cide, whatever you
have. I use a mixture of car-
bolic acid, one dram. spirits
camphor, one ounce, menthol
twenty grains, and roee-water,
enough to make four ounces.
This.can be daubed over the
lesions freely, allowing it to
dry without wiping off.

The oxide of zinc, a dram to

For a child’s "busted toe,’

sider that in every religion thei
ideal of Heaven is the same—a
place where nobody has to
work—it raises the question
whether that point of view is
entirely sound.
There is no doubt that the
habit of work builds character,
even though the work itself
may not be congenial. The
happiest men and women are
those who have found work
which interests them so much
that they prefer it to anything
else. But work merely for the
sake of making enough money
so you won’t have to work is
something else again.
Perhaps a lot of us are as
foolish a3 that native thought
he would be if he spent a lot of
time and effort merely to
avoid working.

Dallas, Aug. 19.—R. J. Mur-
ray, general manager of the
Texas Cotton Co-Operative As-
sociation, announced Wednes-
day that the association will Ayres and Slim Summerville,
advance to its members within
several dollars a bale of the
actual market value of cotton
delivered to its seasonal pool
as an initial advance.
‘This advance approximates
the 90 per cent advance of last
season,” Murray said. “We
anticipate Texas deliveries to
the association in excess of 1,-
000,000 bales this season.”
Muiray. explained that the
Austin Stephens and daugh-
ter, Miss Anna Waverly Ste-
phens, have returned from a
short trip to Houston. They
made the trip via Huntsville,
and Mr. Stephens reports
good crop conditions through^

advance applies only to season-

distributions and the final set-
tlement will reflect back to the
member the season’s average
price rather than the prevail-
ing price on outright sale.
The member still has the
right to use the price fixation

facilities of the association.
These pools give the member
the privilege of fixing the price

tion.

keep the noise of their whir-

microphones.
In the new model, the tripod
of the blimp is mounted on
pneumatic-tired wheels, with a
little seat for the cameraman
and a handle by which the
apparatus may be pulled
across the stage when a “travel-
ing shot” is to be made. The
sharp pointed ends of the tri-
pod legs are earned only an
inch above the floor, and may
be lowered by turning three
screws, thus fixing the camera
securely at any spot desired.
The invention does away with
the continual lifting of heavy
cameras on and off the usual
four wheeled “dollies,” as has
previously been necessary.

the Federal Department of Ag-
riculture, forecasting Okla-
homa’s cotton crop at 1,200,-
000 bales, was 200,000 bales
too high.
"I say this after a personal
inspection and after receiving
reports from growers in 60 of
the state’s 77 counties,” Cor-
dell said. “I predict that the
crop will not be more than 1,-
000,000 bales."

WHY?
No more perfect protection can be obtained anywhere
than offered by Amicable Life Insurance Company field
men.
OUTSTANDING FACTS:
Tbe Amicable Life Insurance Company, daring the
first seven months of 1931, bas collected more premiums
and in interest than during any corresponding seven
months in its history. Tbe percentage of gain in new
business written is 54.19%.
In the face of the above most excellent record it might
be mentioned, that the total life insurance written dtniag
the first half of 1931 was over eight hundred million dol- 1
lars less than in tbe first half of 1930. Tbe amount writ-
ten during the first half of 1930 was $6,657,203,000. while
for first half af 1931 $5,838,827,000 was written, a de-
crease of $816,576,000. He ce it will be seen that the
slump bas not affected the forward movement of the
Amicable Life Insurance company.
ANOTHER THING:
Not long ago a survey w .s made by Bests Reporting
Agency of 100 leading life insurance companies and tbe
Amicable stood at tbe top of the list as baring been able ;
to show the highest net income for a certain number of
years. That means of course that they have followed
conservative management.
When all the above facta are taken into consideration
it will be seen that no mistake will be made in buying
your insurance from the Amicable Life Insurance Com-
pany. or representing them as Agent. If interested in
either, see or write
