f,r t:/ t'gv 5^: ?i?x" By MR. MODESTUS The Great Depression—that is what ft seems to us. After awhile, we shall begin to kok up its records, and see what sort •fif things it did to us. We shall And that many more peo ple went to the public libraries. That seems a natural result of un employment. It suggests what might take place il the people had more leisude—more time of their own as a result of shorter work time. It is reported that there were more prosecutions of persons violating the laws governing freedom of speech. Two things here: Idle folks have ttme to think, and to talk out in pub lic what they are thinking. And then, those who prosecute for such matters, seem to have been ner vous about something. 4 We'll Find Out Later :. What BigiSlump Did to Us After all, what does a little talk, more or less, matter? But there has been a fear of "what it might lead to!" Possibly—possibly—there's always chance In changes. 4 Divorces seem to have been dis couraged. It is hard to get alimoney when there is no money to pay it. Lawyers don't like to start a los ing case—losing money. But marriages have been discour aged, too. There is more skepticism about "two can live as cheap as one." The upshot of it all is also a lower birth rate. There will be a big increase in the junk piles, afterward. Fifty per cent of our industrial plant is obsolete. Dawson Funeral Home 424 S.

The engineers are studying market ing processes. They are taking a drug store apart to see what makes it click- When it does click. They are learning what kind of signs and displays to put in the win dows, so that you will be unable to go by without going in. There seems to be a way to make you pay 49 cents for an article which you would let alone at 25 cents. "S. A." used to stand for. se ap peal. But from now on look out for "sales appeal." City governments are learning les sons about tax money, and about how not to spend it. Bootleggers have learned a lot. But that is nothing to what they have taught the rest of us! Would you have believed that Americans cared so little for law? Many have come to believe, with A1 Capone, that "Law is just tricks." If that is true—well, we need some thing else to take its place. I «$• Y 7 7 7 7 7 THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS, The stage whiskers and wigs are being taken off of international 'friendships," too. "Preparedness" may come to mean —tariffs. It is claimed that even .tariffs are costly. We are just waking up to the om* niterrific cost of wars. We say that we want no more wars, But we seem perfectly willing for some other folks to have them! 1 Well, the world always looks differ ent after a hard storm.—International Labor News Service. IN THIS EMERGENCY! It has been said repeatedly that if the work-week were sufficiently shortened we could end unemploy ment. If we had a maximum work-week of 30 hours, divided into five 6-hour days, the national unemployment problem would fade into nothingness. Why not, then, have a 30-hour week Why not a great movement to see to it that on a given day no man or woman in America agrees to work more than 30 hours a week? In this emergency are not drastic measures warranted? Hunger is drastic. Is it too much that remedy be drastic? What say we to this suggestion? What say we as we look ahead to a winter of greater despair than we have yet known? BE YE UNION BUILDERS These are the days when the non union worker is kicked around the lot.
