SCALE ON STATE WORK

Working on the Wheat Stack The man who works on the stack makes rapid progress upward He’s bulldtng a foundation under himself all the timeIt’s much the same with the farm, ,»r who has a reserve Account. When ever he deposits money in his check, ing account, he tucks away a tidy bit in his reserve or Foundation. Ae_ count. If there comes a time when A Farmer & Company fails to declare a dividend the Reserve Account can al, ways be depended upon. His business is on a solid foundation.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind . Aug. 22Seale pay on all state road construe tion work has been cut as regards the price of terms and laborers, ac. j cording to Lawrence Lyons, director | of the state highway commission. Tme is in accordance with the com, mission’s policy to reduce roaj build ing and maintenance costs, and al. so for the reason that living costs have decline^ somewhat he says Teamsters with teams have been re, duced from 50 to 45 cents an hour The wage reduction for laborers will’ vary i n that some men are paid 25 cents an hour and others but 20 cents an hour. Where the work of a man is believe^ up to standard set by the commission, then he receives 25 cents an hour. In cases where the superintendent considers the man is giving his best efforts but such does not measure up to the best workers, a reduction is made According to Mr Lvon the new scale will make it possible for a man with a team to earn about $4.50 a day or $27 a wek. This is a con. siderable drop from the scale for war time work. The sliding scale for laborers is designed to eliminate these men who think they ca n kill time when employed by the state.

ruins.

Ten persons suffereing from burns or injuries received in jumping from the second and third stories of the hotel are under treatment at the Macon Hospital Among those suf. fering from severe burns was R- M.

and war among nations would be no more. America now has a great chance to help in the fulfillment of the prophecy President Harding has succeeded in having the great na_ tions agree to a conference anj on November 11 in Washington the con ference will open for which congress has set aside $200,000 for necessary

expenses

The debt of $348,000,000,000 on the nation caused by the war cries aloud for no more war. Ninety cents on every dollar of our nations income goes to war debts and expenses. What a shame for a so called Christ.

ia n Nation

The money could and should be better used The death of 8 000,00 in an wful cost of war and the per. manent injury of thousands more cry out against this awful experience The destrove^ homes, the millions of stunted children, thg broken hearted lonely wives and mothers of the world also pray for the success of the conference looking toward end.

ing wars.

America should lead the way in this epoch making movement. The ministers an^ churches deserve to be commended for the earnest lead they have tak$n to secure the conference, over twenty thousand signing a peti. tion to have our nation take such a step • For these reasons in addition to the call of the voice of the Prince of Peace the church unites in Prayer for the success of the conference A ••esolution endorsing and commending President Harding was unanimously approved and the action will be sent to him today. Public officers should be commended when they do noble thing as we criticise them freely when they do what we do not like.
