The place that gives a man his living is entitled to his best efforts to advance everything calculated to benefit the place and the com munity. This is a truth we should all learn. We are glad to note that the city is putting forth new efforts to regulate speeding and the parking of cars on the square. ' This is an important matter and one that should be given attention since hu man life is at stake when fast and reckless driving is permitted. The speeding should be stopped if we are to have safety first, last and all the time know r it is much cheaper than the mistakes that are caused by an ov erworked mind- All of the efficiency and business magazines are realizing more clear ly each year that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’’ Most of our greatest business executives hnvc regnbn- periods of rerrelation. —golf, tennis, swimming, or some other sport—just as they have regu lar office hours, for they have fuond that fresh air and exercise bring clear thinking and big-pro fits. This same* principle may be and should be applied in tfie small town and in the small business just as much as in million dollar corpora tions. So if you haven’t had your vacation, better hie you forth now to the woods and fields and take a good rest.* Business can take care of itself for a week or so, and when you return von’ll he better able to y % take care of business. “The Xamral Law” is a strong play and the lesnon to be learned is indisputably real and convinc ing.

But .sooner or later they are 'almost certain to learn their mistake. And when the break down cohi&» theyjwill realize how much cheaper it , would have been for them had they quit working for a short period each summer and taken a complete rest.
