EIGHT HOURS, HIGH WAGES, BUT LOW
FREIGHT RATES AND A PROFIT—“Henry
Ford’s resuscitation of the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton railroad will remain unique for some
time to come unless the methods which he used
are capable of widespread application. One may
suppose that it was comparatively easy to apply
them to the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton, for this
little road was so badly in need of reorganiza
tion that drastic changes were presumably wel_
comed without many mental reservations on the
part of those who had to put them into effect and
who knew that the old ways had brought the
road into bankruptcy.
At any rate, an article by Professor Hoagland
in the New York Times reports results which
are amazing enough to attract attention of even
the most of stolid old_time railroaders. The
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railroad, it appears,
has reduced its force of employes from 2,700 to
1,550 while doubling its t¥affic. This bare state
ment is enough to explain the change from bank
ruptcy to prosperity ; but who can explain the
explanation? All departments have been cut.
Customary but useless officials have been dis
charged. Men who had too little to do on their
regular jobs are putting in their spare time on
.jobs left vacant by the departure of former easy
going occupants. Generally speaking, each man
works eight hours daily—no more and (this is
important) no less. Six dollars is the minimum
days pay, and 208 hours is absolutely the max
imum time which any one man can put in per
month,
“Service at a cost which "approaches pre-war
figures is indeed a sufficient excuse for prosper
ity. The means by which it has been called into
existence may be a secret; but, if so, it is a secret
which many would like to solve. The elimination
of non-essentials and the cheerful delivery of a
frll dav’s work by every employe are said to be
essential features of the Ford program.”—Balti
more Sun |lnd. Dem.)
Sometow Ford and his system seem to be
built on the motto “to work for your country as
you'd fight for it” and everybody cheerfully ren
ders unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s etc. If
through some agency this spirit of progress
could be injected into the industries of the coun
try there would soon disappear this boggy of
tnemployment strikes and lock outs and the bus
iness of the country would flourish like a green
bay tree. The whole secret of the scheme is,
applied business economy from the head down
and liberality enough to pay for services full
value. Make the man recognize that his reten
tion of the “job with a bonus” depends upon his

Everybody knows there is too much lost mo
tion in most of our industrial machinery and
duplication of high priced salaried positions,
which eat up the profits and often encourages
the passing of the buck on down to common
labor. With elimination of useless émployes of
cvery kind, from the big ofles to the smallest,
retaining the most competent, there would be a
revolution in American industry.
HOME TOWN PAPER WEEK—TIt is very rare
that the average newspaper boosts its own busi
ness, but gives quantities of space in boosting
the affairs of others.
Somebody suggested that it was time for the
newspapers of the country to adopt a week in
which their own business should be given prec
edent, and The Leader-Enterprise thoroughly
endorses the idea.
The date set is the second week in November,
from the 7th to the 12th, including that great
‘vorld event, Armistice Day. :
The official title for the week will be “Sub
scribe for Your Home Town Paper Week.”
' Thousands of papers will join in this event,
and our readers will hear more about it as time
goes on,
Ever ready to help in any cause that is in the
interests of a better community, better living
conditions, and better government, we now ask
the readers and advertisers of The Leader-
Enterprise to turn in and lend a hand during
“Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week,”
and boost for us.

According to statements made to T iiay
Gelders, of Fitzgerald Leader and to Editor Flan
ders, of the Ocilla Star, Editor J. Kelly Simmons,
of Nashville Herald, will not leave South Georgia,
but has decided to remain in Berrien county and
give those people the best newspaper they have
ever had—which he is fully capable of doing. It
was stated at one time that Editor Simmons was
going to Athens to take charge of the Daily News,
a newspaper to be launched there next month. We
are glad he is not going. We need such men
right here in God’s country. Athens has just tak
en one of our bright newspaper men in the person
of Stewart Gelders; that ought to satisfy the
classic city for awhile.—Tifton Gazette.

This Atlanta Man Doesn’t =
Need Alcoholic Stimulant
Read what R. H. Caperton, Di-|
rector of Atlanta Riding Academy,
has to say about the wondérful re
sults he obtained from using the new
tonic—Regenerator:
“For the past tcn or twelve years
I have suffered a great deal from
indigestion and rheumatism. Being |
a very hearty eater, and an habitual‘
user of tobacco, my condition has
been at times greatly aggravated,‘
Regenerator was recommended to
me; and ‘I am now taking my fifth
bottle, The result has been -wonder
ful—l am absolutely free from rheu
matic pains’ can digest anvthing T
care to eat and my liver and kidneys
have been stimulated to such an ex
tent that I feel I am as well and
strong as ever, At times I have
been in the habit of drinking alco
holic beverages, and will say that
Regenerator has entirely cleared my
system of alcohol and its bad effects,
as well as taking away all desire for
strong drinks. Regenerator is a
wonderful remedy, and I can sin
cerely recommend it to all sufferers.”

The Georgia Yam will find a place in every household
if the Georgia marketing agencies will use proper dilligence
and some brains in placing its virtues before the American
public. Already well established in the fevor of tens of
thousands of the Northern boys who camped in Southern
Miltary Camps during the war, it is just necessary to re
vive the desire in the homes of those boys for the delicious
yams, which once were part of their army diet.
In their raw state, they are poor shippers, but cured
they will keep indefinitely—lt is this feature which will
make it possible to market them in the Northern Cities

Not long ago a train started out of
Grand Central in two sections. After
running a few miles the first section
lost time, and the second, running
ahead, was ordered to put .up green
signals and run as first section. As this
train appreached the next tower the
dispatcher asked the signalman if the
engineman had put up signals. The
signalman replied. hy telephone, “Yes,
