T o d a y Labor Must Save Itself. The Jersey City Mouse, ft ay Out on the Prairie. So Cosmo Jumped. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v---/ Political candidates celebrated Labor day trying to collect labor votes, Cooljdge talking to labor union leaders at the White House, Davis to Labor day gatherings in Ohio, La Follette talking over the radio, Wheeler choosing Boston for his labor day speech. The majority of labor men didn’t listen, being too busy enjoying Labor day. They didn’t miss much. Labor is one cog in the machine of modern industry, the most im portant cog, although the machine doesn’t admit it. Labor’s destiny depends on labor, not benevolent speeches in political campaigns. “When men know more, they will lave more. When they stick to f ether as capitalists stick together, ree of religious and race hatreds and prejudices, they will have power. " Prosperity and power they must •get for themselves. They will not $e handed to them. ' On Hudson boulevard in Jersey City, this happens. A large tomcat was crossing the street with a jjiousc, still alive, in its mouth. An automobile ran over the tomcat, broke his back, made him open his mouth, the mouse, a little wet, es caped. * If, in the couse of evolution, shat mouse had reached the stage if the ordinary superstitious hu man being, It would have said and believed, “the Supreme Being that runs this universe suspended all other business and sent that auto mobile along in the nick of time." When you were small you used to sing: “Way out upon the prairies, how many children dwell That never read the Bible, or hear the Sabbath bell.” There are on earth now 1,000 languages into which the Bible has never been translated. That isn’t the worst of it, hundreds of mil lions of human beings can’t read any language. Some translations are interesting. For instance, "clarkawaya” means "hail Mary” in the Chinook Bible used by missionaries of Brit ish Columbia. “Clarkawaya” makes you realize how difficult it is to translate the Bible into savage languages, for "clarkawaya” is a corruption of the greeting to the missionary, Clark, "Clark, how are you.” All the Indians shortened that greeting to "Clarkawaya,” and so it was used in the translation of the Bible. Cosmo Poccolli, 25 years old, out of work for eight months with 28 cents left, was willing to make a few dollars, no matter how. While moving picture men on a tug in the river ground their machines, Poc ! colli jumped from the Williamsburg bridge, 135 feet high. Nothing had been promised, but he thought he might attract attention and make a little money. He whirled around a few times, struck the water, was killed, that settled his employment problem. Friends had told Poccolli how Steve Brodie made a fortune, run ning a saloon, after "jumping” from the Brooklyn bridge. They neglected to tell him that I I Nothing like Kellogg’s j to keep the young i hopeful just bubbling • over with good health. With milk or cream—nourishing, delicious and most easily digested.

Sept. 2.—Corn being laid by and small grain cut, and having a little spare time, Charles Jenkins, a farmer residing six miles north of O'Neill, hauled part of his farm produce to town. One hundred and one hogs which he sold to a local buyer averaged better than S00 pounds each. They brought him $2,800. He also sold the hog buyer 400 bushels of corn at $1 a bushel, and a local elevator 2,000 bushels at the same price. At the end of a week of hauling Jenkins deposited $5,200 In a local bank, and he still has considerable of last year's corn crop and a num ber of hogs on the farm. In addition to his growing crops and livestock. Mrs. Jenkins raised this year suf ficient chickens to supply the table and to realise more than $100 without materially reducing her flock. The Jenkins farm of slightly more than a half section Is handled by Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins with the assistance of a hand during the rush season, and they find time to come to town occa sionally In their alutomoblle for pleas ure and recreation. Brodie never jumped. He waited in the water below while a dummy was thrown from the bridge. Re porters, because they were de ceived, or were obliging, wrote of Steve Brodie’s jump. It’s often more profitable to pre tend to do a thing than actually do it, in this unjust world. Flying from Greenland to Labra dor, 570 miles, in 6 hours, 49 min utes, the American fliers got back to the American mainland in five months and 14 days after their start around the world. President Coolidge welcomed them with a telegram. Children of the future will be amazed at this slow trip around the world. A feature of public school education in future ages will be a flying trip around the world during summer vacation. The child of 12 will know the prin cipal mountain ranges, rivers and capitals of the world by actually having seen them. Statistics show that the month of marriages is changing from June to August, and that’s a good thing. June is the month from the roman tic point of view, August from the practical point of view. The first baby of an August wed ding comes along in the spring with the flowers of May and can be put outdoors at once to get fresh air. In addition, the mother can nurse the baby all through the hot months of the first summer when the right artificial food is hardest to find. With the Dawes plan "all set” Lord Rothermere, who succeeds his brother, Northcliffe, as the most influential man in England, urges readers of his newspapers to boy cott the German loan. It isn’t that he opposes Germany, bygones are bygones for Rothermere. But he says if American money finances German factories, English manu facturers and workmen will not be able to stand the competition, and there is much in that. However, the German bonds will pay big interest. American finan ciers apparently have decided to float them. More fortunate than England, the United States with a tariff wall made as high as necessary, can take care of foreign competition. There is something in protection, espe cially after a great war, when men must work for what they can get. (Copyright. 1124 > Car Stolen From Garage.

The teachers were fresh from their summer vacations, all seemingly eager to return to the schoolroom.

Physicians everywhere recomn: nd it I ; Through the terms j of eight American Presidents “Time will tell!” Such is the thought of all of us as things come and go. And Time has told! ¥ ¥ ¥ At the beginning people were thirsty the same as now, but service for then, was hardly more than the old oaken bucket that hung in the well. One man, in Atlanta, Ga., had labored long to blend from pure, good things of nature a new, distinctive beverage. To please taste and satisfy thirst were his final tests. At last the drink was perfected, named “Coca-Cola" and offered to the public. That was in 1886—the year Grover Cleveland was married in the White House. What has happened in the 38 years since—through the presidencies of Harrison, Cleveland again, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, to that of Coolidge—years of wars and peace and great change? It is the story of the rise of a great American industry from a kettle and a ladle. ¥ ¥ ¥ That first year only 25 gallons of Coca-Cola syrup—about 3,200 drinks—were sold. A new and modern merchandising structure was applied. Gradually through the years sales Increased until in 1923 the total was nearly 18,000,000 gallons of syrup—or 2,300, 000,000 drinks (glasses at fountains and in bottles) of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola brought to the soda fountain, then still something of an experiment and having a hard struggle to impress its worth upon both merchants and the public, a trade leader. More and finer fountains were built. The success of Coca-Cola came to s ; mean the success of the soda fountain. - Next Coca-Cola inspired the building of plants and machines through which the ; public could be supplied a sealed, sterilized bottle assuring a pure, w holesome beverage. With Coca-Cola the soft drink bottling in dustry was born. = ! ¥ ¥ ¥ | 21 During the 38 years Coca-Cola has been on the market, $40,000,000 has been spent ad vertising it. Today Coca-Cola is sold at more than 115,000 soda fountains, and greater than 300,000 retailers are selling bottled Coca-Cola. ■ I * * * \ Of course a great industry has been required to bring about this tremendous develop ment. From the obscure kettle and ladle of 1886, it grew to The Coca-Cola Company, incor- 1 porated in Georgia in 1892. By steady progress it attained the position of an insti tution—owned by one family until the fall of 1919, when it was sold to The Coca-Cola Company of Delaware—a national and inter national business owned by thousands of i stockholders living in all parts of the coun try. And allied with it are 1,250 Coca-Cola bottlers with modern plants in as many cities. ¥ ¥ ¥ Occasionally, when leadership is sufficiently ! strong, it falls to the lot of one concern to be the backbone of an entire industry. Such j is the story Time has told of the quality of I Coca-Cola and of the worth of the company back of it.
