The Girl WHO Bought Home
on Nine Dollars a Week
HOMER cRoY in Leslie's Iau.trated Weekly

and has money In the bank. Her sal
airy the last year she was with the
Postum Company was SIS month
During the summer she acts as relieI
for the girls when they take their va
cations, and works at the Postum
plant when extra help is needed ana
she can be spared from home.
How it was possible for girl on a
low salary to own three homes inter
ested me deeply, SO deeply that
could not help asking question. From
one Of the managers found out about
c. W. Posts method of working with
his employees. Every single employe
in his shops is his loyal booster.
While there | met j. w. Bryce, high
Up as an organized union worker,
who could not say enough for the
Post system OF protecting its en-
ployes.
Post goes on the theory that an en-
ploye does his best work when he has
responsibility on his shoulders. As
soon as a man has worked for him a
year. he is willing to take him into
partnership willing to sell him
home. To carry out this idea, Post
bought one outlying section Of Battle
Creek. plated it OF and began putting
Up houses. He told his people that
philanthropy was not moving him to
this. and informed them that he was
going to make six per cent on his IN
yestment He put W several houses
as models, but he would build any
house that an empioye wished and
build it the way the workingman want
ed it, after Mr. Post had passed the
plans. In this way the wife of the
worker could have a linen chute, a
basement or any Improvement about
the house that she desired. For this
dr. Post asked that one one-hun-
dredth of the value of the house be
paid down as first installment and
the rest in the form Of monthly rental
until paid for. For instance, il the
house was to cost $4,000, the first pay
ment would be $4,000 and the rest to
come in at $4,000 month, or one
one-hundredth of whatever the price
was. AS result, more OF the people
employed by the breakfast-food king
of Battle Greek own their own homes
than are owned by the employees OF
almost any other. concern in the Unit
cd States.

PLIGHT Of Soldiers, Widows.

Why should ex-presidents be pen

salaries and ought to save enough
out OF those salaries to keep them
when retired. Then congress gives
their widows in all such cases as
death $4,000 a year. If Carnegie wants
to be charitable let him help the Wild
ows OF our soldiers whose husbands
fought to save the country where he
has made so much of his money. The
veterans are getting 81 day now,
but what Of the widows of those who
have passed to the higher life?
Many widows are left alone with
no children or relatives to care for

NO PEACE FOR
MEXICO IN SIGHT
Gen. Bliss Says rs Soon as One Revolt
Is Ended Another VIII Come
Arms Smuggling Discussed.

Washington, D. c., Dec General
TaSker H. Bliss complains in report
to the war department of the vague
ness of the law against permitting
saying that instructions to the army
are so general that too much Of
task is imposed upon the troopers and
Junior officers. He recommended that
two Of the best equipped officers OF
the governments legal force be sent
down to travel along the boundary 10
settle questions of doubt and legal
rights.
The necessity of keeping a consider
able portion of the United States army
on the border for an indefinite period
is forecasted in the report. Gen. Bliss
called attention to the fulfillment Of
his prediction that the breaking up of
OrozcO's army last year into small
bands would not restore peace, be-
cause the large laWleSS element among
the troops would not consent to return
to ordinary vOcatiOns.
This attitude" the report says,
Especially characterized the leaders
These are the forces that have always
been popularity known along the Dor
der as Red Flaggers. Their leaders
preach the distribution of land and OF
wealth generally, and apparently have
small concern with any other function
Of the revolution
"a consideration Of these facts is Of
interest, as they suggest another fore
casting of the future. The conditions
across the border which lead to one
successful revolution unfortunately
seem always to point, the way TO
counter revolution. If this be the case.
the first reasonable hope of continued
peace will come when an established
government proves strong enough to
crush the counter revolution"
