DeKalb Pharmacy The REXALL Store 'Phone 95 We Delirer Here's The Way To Civic Beauty Begin your city beautifieation on Main street, urges BrneM Elmo Calkins, dean of American advertising men, in the current Rotarian Magazine. Every visitor sees Main street, but it often lags far '.behind the residential section, even in towns which are becoming beauty conscious. "And why is it," he asks, "that a business man Who takes pride in the appearance of his home grounds does not apply the same philosophy to his store, or shop, or otfice? It is far more essential in one way, for attractive business places draw trade. "Of course, the first step toward making your town better looking." says Mr. Calkins, "is to create a public opinion, a local self consciousness, a community pride, which will soon seek justification. When a town is once t'hus aroused to the economic advantages of beautifying itself, the program becomes definite. It is easy to create an ideal community when one starts from the ground up, 'but most of us must work with the towns we have, which have already grown without guidance, and the first problem is to undo, remove or hide evesoies, and emphatically to establish a public spirit that will control all future developments along the best line.-:. "Trees or. Main street are perhaps not practicable," he suggests "though they will be in the future when we begin to apply all we have learned 1 about town planning.

When The First Strike Took Place Editor The Obeserver: The cradle jf strikes and stretchouts was first rocked in Egypt. Turn to Exodus Hh chapter, beginning with 4th verse, tor an account of the first stretchout: And the king of Egypt said unto wherefore do ye, Moees and Aaron, loose the people from their works ? -Get you unto your burdens. And Pharoah said, Behold, the people of the Land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. And the same day Pharoah commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers saying, ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as hereto/or*; let them go and gather straw for themselves. And the number of the bricks, which they did not make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them. The first strike took place when the children of Israel walked out of the plant of the Pharoah -Brick Manufacturing company. In this instance the strikers won the strike, but benefited themselves very little, their bein skeptical of Jonah's promises. Since that day till this, both strikes and stretchouts have been common. In employing improved machinery to turn out a greater yield per man, in no wise comes under the head of overloading, Getting at t'ho true sense of the stretchout system, as it should and does apply in most cases, the load is lifted off instead of being added on. We will take an up-todate farmer as an illustration. He, with a tractor, double row planter, riding cultivators, etc., can and does 'accomplish greater yields than five farmers could accomplish with might and main a few decades ago, and he does his work with less fatigue. Any improved method of turning out increased production today in industrial plants meets with the disapproval of a growing percent of the workers. A tired mule never kicks the farmer when he pours oats in the trough.-' It is the mule that has -been ploughed but a few hours, then turned loose to frolic that does the kicking. NRA gave textile luhoi a new deal, a s<|uaie deal and as scads of the public views their problem, they have received the fairest of fair deals. A new deal, a fair deal or a square deal cuts very little ice with labor. The more we pay him, the less we work him and the more he kicks under the present 40-hour weekly schedule. He has rested, slept and frolicked 128 hours out of lf>8 hours per week. This rest period has made him feel his oats and now he is kicking like h . I am strongly in favor of organized labor from an equalization and protective viewpoint, but I am not in favor of organized labor from an exploitive viewpoint. Neither should the new dealers pull their left big toe thut is veering further to the left to giant labor special concessions whereby labor can exploit industry by coercion. However, lab,.- should be a protege of the government but not singled out a> a class as a special protege ot the government. The biggest load that labor has to contend with is the Inad ? : dissatisfaction put in their minds by o\erJzeaiou leader- of labor, in preaching t:u|n the ; magi:.ai y ev.N of the .-tretchoui -y-tem.

Our cities used to depend on unsanitaij uei!.- for their water supply. Now they have a supply of pure water flowing into the homes for all pu poses. All these conveniences comes under the head of tho stretchout system. The stretchout system is no: new. We have stretched out trom the tallow candle to the electric btfht. We have stretched out from he pack mule and ox cart to speeding trams, automobiles and the aerop.anes.
