ORTER HOURS
HELP ?
a's
he iaaailway Labor Unions of Can -
stilts and the United States at a meet -
lag heldi'in Cleveland this week, or-
ereel a movement seeking a six-
:}ieer working day without reduction
rO wages.
,The officials of these unions esti-
Mate that the proposed six hour day
would put to work 50,000 men now
-unemployed in .the railroad industries
and this is their solution for the un-
employment .problem.
The thought and: consideration the
members of these unions have for
their unfortunate unemployed breth-
ren is commendable indeed, but just
why they should insist that this assist-
ance should come from the pockets
of anyone else than themselves, and
at the same time claim all the credit
is rather hard to understand.
Why should these men receive two
hours pay without giving two hours
work in return? Why should the
railway companies be charged double
wages for these two hours? The
money paid out by the railways of
Canada, for wages for those two
hours would mean a tremendous in-
crease in the overhead expenses of
these roads, which in turn would
mean an increase in passenger and
traffic rates. In other words, the peo-
ple would pay.
The people of Canada have already
contributed a sum of $20,000,000 for
the relief of unemployment. That is
enough. In fact, it is far too much
for some sections of the country, be-
cause these sections will receive no
benefit from this sum whatsoever.
The present unemployment can not
be laid at the door of business de-
pression akine. In fact judging by
the financial reports one sees pub-
lished every day, there has been little,
if any depression of business. Not
one bank, insurance company or
manufacturing company so far as we
have seen, has passed a dividend this
year. And corporations do not earn
or pay dividends when the wheels of
industry have been idle.
The country is suffering from the
fruits of extravagance and stock
gambling far more than from 'business
depression. What it needs to bring
it back to normalcy is old time frug-
ality and old time work.
That being so, and it is so; it stands
to reason that the Railway Union will
not better the situation any by a de-
mand for shorter hours and more pay;
nor will it 'be bettered much until
tee Railway Union an all other un-
ions get down to brass tacks and con-
tribute more hours for the wages they
are already receiving, or even less
money.
Same, our jeitliO and our AVegatable45
are, calmed. Even our bread, our
cakes and our cookies are wrapped or
gamed.
Our modern housewives have so
many labor saving devices inside the
home and so malty diversions outside,
of it that no time need be wasted in
the home or in the preparing of the
family meals.
And let it be said here, that quite
a meal can 'be wrestled out of our
modern cans. But at the same time it
is not the body and soul satisfying
kind of meal that once graced the
tables of our homes.
Daily we express a silent or verbal
thanks to the manufacturers of these'
cans, for their convenience; but, ex-
pressing thanks to the creator of their
contents has become decidedly more
rare in these times.
FOR WHAT WE RECEIVE

LOCUSTS FROM THE CITY
(Day Edgar in Sat. Evening Post)
The errand, though distasteful. was
familiar; sql I hurried toward the
woman,
"I must ask you not to pick those,"
I began.
With one hand clinging to, a branch
she turned, "Why not?" she demand-
ed.
"That's a cherry tree," I explained,
"and the owner wants the cherries
this summer."
"The owner must be pretty mean!"
she snapped.
"Perhaps you don't understand." I
suggested. "Every branch broken off
means fewer cherries. Besides, it dam-
ages the tree."
Pointedly ignoring me, the woman
turned to the little boy beside her.
"Come on, Artie," she said loudly.
"We'd better go before they start
complaining about us breathing the
air here!"
Living, as I do, on 60 acres located
within easy motoring distance of a
city, I have acquired a thorough
knowledge of trespassers. There re-
mains only one type that I have nev-
er met among them—a lady ora gen-
tleman. It must be that well bred peo-
ple refrain from intruding to steal or
spoil.
There are some minor offenses
which country property owners fre-
quently ignore. One of these is the
theft of topsoil for city flower. pots.
Leaves are also a trifling matter, al-
though the damage to a tree can be
serious if too many motorists help
themselves. Pumpkins, of course, we
have learned to plant in fields far
from the road.
A neglected farm in our township
was -recently bought by an amiable
man who made many attractive im-
provements. In a charming sylvan
nook he made a small pond where a
squadron of scarlet fish swam lazily
among the lily pads.
"I'm going to throw it open to the
public," he said. "It's always been a
belief of mine that kindness brings
out the best in people," So he put
up a sign:
VISITORS ARE WELCOME
The owner invites sera to enjoy this
spot. Out of consideration for other
visitors, he asks you kindly to leave
everything as you find it.
The plan seemed to work at first.
And then came the Fourth of July.
My neighbor was away, but the next
afternoon he asked me to go down to
the pond and I found him vibrating
with rage. What had been a sylvan
nook now resembled a cross between
a rubbish heap and a lavatory.
"And look!" the owner sputtered,
pointing. "My fish!"
The squadron of long-tailed beauties
had vanished—one floated, belly up-
ward, near the spillway. In the
trampled rhododendrons lay a dis-
carded fish net made out of a barrel
hoop and mosquito netting.
A friend of mine who owns many
acres once had an idea. "The remedy,"
he told me, "is skunks." Under the
spell of his eloquence I visualized a
regiment of skunks efficiently patrol-
ling the roadside. It was a glorious
vision, but like many another dream
of genius, it collapsed.
"Skunks won't do," he announced
later. The little animals, he explain-
ed, had perversely sought the deeper
woods. With an unexpected sensitive-
ness and discrimination, they had re-
fused to associate with picnickers
from the city.
Old time customs have been so
largely displaced in the modern home
that the Brandon Sun is not far wroug
when it says that the good old days
were those when meals were opened
with a blessing instead of a can op-
ener.
Twenty-five years ago, to partake
of a meal, no matter how humble,
without first asking a blessing, would
have been considered next door to
sacrilege; not in one home in every
fifty would it have occurred. To -day,
perhaps, not in one home in fifty, is
the old custom observed.
We do not 'beliesse it is because the
people of to -day are any less re-
ligious or any less appreciative than
their fathers and mothers were. It
is just the speed of the age we live
in; there isn't time. Or rather, we
think we haven't the time.
We can find the time to spend in a
hundred and one amusements that our
forebears never even imagined, or if
they could they would not have spent
them in that way.
But they, who worked two hours to
our one, and often at heavy back
breaking labor, could always find time
to express their appreciation of the
things they received, even when the
only way these things could reach the
table was through the sweat of the
brow.
We do not work as hard for the
things we have as our forefathers in
this country did, and we have more,
far more.
And we boast about it. We aro
more clever. We say we use our
beads to save our hands and our backs.
We believe We are more independent;
ere do not ask, we take: We believe
we are More •self-reliant, More self
made. And to tell the truth there is
a home -Made look about many of us.
In feet, we are becoming so self
tontaitied that we are loth to credit
Or well being or our prosperity to
iiy oras but Ourselves.
' taut thetas many things we have
tette to believe and -Which we take
as St matter of course, are not all true;
not all 'of our own Making.
At least that is the teaching of his -

Rev. H. Naylor Inducted.--rahe fol-
lowing which we believe appeared in

a well known former pastor of St.

will no doubt prove of interest to a
host of his friends: "A striking and
beautiful service was held at Christ's
Church, Listowel, en Monday night,
when a very large congregation at-
tended the induction service of Rev.
H. Naylor, L.Th., as rector of the
church, Mr. Naylor was in charge
of the Venerae, Archdeacon W. J.
Doherty, B.A., of London, who was

sisting were Rev. J. B. Feeney, Rural

Church's One Foundation," with the
robed clergymen bringing up the rear.
Rev. Neil conducted the devotional ex-
ercises; Rev. Farney read the Scrip-
ture lesson and solemnized the occas-
ion with prayers that moved the
hearts of everyone present. The in-
duction ceremony was one of the most
impressive that has ever been wit-
nessed in the church, the formalities
being expressive of great spiritual
truths that bind the minister and his
flock to a deep sense of obligation in
the fulfilment of their duties as, Chris -
eons and church members.
