was engaged in didn't keep him out

The war has taught men to take
greater care in the consideration of
merchandise values than they did
in the easy days before the war. In

that be would believe it rained

two ounces, is an inch and a half

"Sunday afternoon a group of
town boys were swimming and bat
ing in the second channel when
they noticed a snake swimming
along almost wholly above the
water, several feet from the bank.
They pulled near to scare it. but
the snake started to coil on the top
of the water and then one of the
boys noticed the rattles on its tail
and killed it. When they pulled it
out of the water they found it had
four rattles and a button. None of
our old timers remember having
heard of a rattler on the water this
way."

"From Chateau Thierry it is only
abotit forty miles to Paris," W. Y.
Morgan reminds us in a letter to
the Hutchinson News. "We had a
late lunch at Chateau Thierry,
drove for a couple of hours and
were in Paris for supper. So it la
worthy of note that the Germans
came mighty near to their boast
that they would eat dinner in Pari3. '
and in fact only lacked a couple of
hours of having that pleasure. All
the people of Paris who could leave
had done so, and the government
was packed up and ready to move
the second time, but the American
re-inforcements prevented the Ger
man dinner party and saved the
French capital- and the future of the
world."
Perhaps the most commonly pro
posed remedy for labor troubles is
the suggestion that labor be taken
into partnership with capital by be
ing put on a profit-sharing basis.
The argument ts plausible and at
tractive that if the employe of an
industrial concern is to receive a
dividend out of the product In some
proportion to his wages and length
of service, he will consider very
seriously the demands of agitator?
that he quit his job and forfeit his
prospects for a share of the profits.
Upon first presenratlon. the logic
of this argument seems wholly
sound and irrefutable. The only ob
jection raised to it turns on the
point that the workers are not re
quired also to share In the losses.
Hut if profit sharing would operate
successfully to prevent strikes and
labor difficulties, it might offset this
disadvantage.
With so much expected from the
profit-sharing idea, it is disappoint
ing to find that it does not always
prove to be a stabilizing element. A
statement by the Willis-Overland
companv, whose automobile factory
In Toledo was a center ; of strike
turbulence last month, sets forth
the fact, which has not been de
nied, that a quarterly 50-50 profit
sharing plan for all employes with
six months continuous service, had
rWn inaugurated, under which a
half a million dollars had been dis
tributed, amounting to from S to 11
per cent of the wages, which had
also been rapidly increased and were
equal to or better than those of
other establishments, and yet a dis
pute over the arrangement of the
hours per week brought on a strike,
throwing into idleness nearly 7.000
men and women. In this case at
least, profit-sharing has not proved
the panacea as against labor
troubles nor served to give immun
ity from strikes.
The proiiicm of industrial peace
is broader ami deeper and more
complicated than ever and not to
be solved by adjustment of a f ingle
factor. Exchange.

Spent Some Time In Azores, Gives
Vivid Description Of the
Islands And Feople.
Tmm Tuesday's Dally.
The following letter received from
Jyril Janda, who is serving as a
sailor on the U. S. S. Rochester:
Lisbon, Portugal, May 23
Dear Sister and Ed:
I have a few minutes to spare so
I will drop you a line tp tell you a
little about our life. I have been
laid up wi,th pneumonia for the last
two weeks. I lost 26 pounds, but
feel much, better now. I hope you
are all well.
We are at present at Lisbon,
rortugal. We were at Pont a Del-
gada, that's the largest town iu tho
Azores Islands. Wo were there less
than four days. Our first day was
spent coaling ship.
It is a quaint little town of about
25,000 inhabitants. The houses
are all of stone and colored green.
yellow and pink, so that they look
quite picturesque, espucially at a
distance. But the most beautiful
sights there, wero the flower gard
ens. The islands have the vegeta
tion you would havo iu southern
California.
Ponta Delgada has been the base
for some of our smaller ships dur
ing the war. so they were quite used
to the American (Gob) sailor. You
cannot go ashore withour bavins a
rowd of kids and even grown-ups
following and hollowing, Americianc
give me money, penny, cigarette,
papa.
We left there Monday morning.
and made the trip to Lisbon in fifty
hours. We were staming at IS
knots an hour, that's pretty good
speed for this old tub, as we call
Tho weather was perfect, warm
sunshine during the day and full
moon at night.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal is
a very beautiful place. There are
several other ships here, also the
whole Portugese navy which consists
of about eight ships the size of our
destroyers. In home waters the
Rochester does not attract much at
tention because there are usually
much larger ships around. Put
here we are the biggest thing In
the water, and the object of every
body's interest on the shore. It is
nice to bo king pin for once. Then
our being a flagship has brought
many official visitors, and for the
first few days the guard and salut
ing batteries were kept busy doing
the honors.
All the boys that have been
ashore here hate to think of going
back to New York. There is only
one thing we cannot get use to and
that is their money for one dollar
in American we get 1040 resis in
Portugese money, so its rather hard
to keep track or. Everything is
very cheap here. You can go into
the best restaurants here and get an
eight course meal which will take
you at least two hours to eat it for
70 cents in our money. They have
all drinks imaginable here and all
saloons are open to us. A quart of
champaign here costs $1.20, in the
states it costs about $13.00, so you
can see the difference.
The population of Lisbon if
about 400,000. A hundred and fif
ty years ago, there was an earth
quake here that destroyed the larg
est and most beautiful part of the
city. Some of the old sections still
remain, the streets are very nar
row, steep and crooked. But in the
newer part of the city they have
fine streets and avenues, a number
of imposing buildings and fine
churches.
I was also in the king's palace
where they have all the kings in
their caskets from the year 1300,
and one can look upon them under
rtugal has
been a republic for about eight
years, though they have not stopped
revolting yet. Evidences of bom
bardments and bullet holes from the
last revolution can still be seen.
The people in Lisbon have been
very nice and cordial to thp ' Amer
icans. We do not "sawe" their
j lingo and they cannot understand
us but we get along first rate with
our motions and hand talk. It's a
joke to see a bunch of sailors try
to make them understand some
thing. They are happy easy going people
