 ROSPERITY
s,nME 'a0yERNMENT. WASTE.

congressnah'i Batnhart of Indiana says the government, wastes a lmlihon dollars annually i'll Its printing pms franking abuses, padding oi I'th,ie congressional record by faK, speeches. distribution of public oooa- 'a ments that go to tne junk shops, eeo. pnt unfortunately for Mir. Barnhar , sensible propositions, the congress- men cant see themselves as the voters see them.
 Similarly congress has always pee- d,ed out free seeds, on the theory that the constituent feels pleased at this mark of attention. It is supposed tha. there are many votes in tnese beans and peas and cabbages.
 It is doubtful if the farmers use these seeds very much. They come III too small quantities to be valuable III a business way. The back yard suburban gardener may make use oi them. But it is no more the business of the government to distribute seeds than to give away shoes and tooth brushes. It is all tax which the peor!e must pay. The intelligent man, receiving one of these packages, IS not flattered as his congressman thinks. Instead he is again reminded of the inefficiency of congress, and ne feels a desire to smash things politi- cally.
 Similarly in regard to the congress sional record. A we'll edited repor, of real debate, confined to things actually said. would attract a great deal of interest. Few people read the congressional record. because of the interminable length of speeches is- sued on "leave to print"
 If congress won't listen to these speeches. with all the added interest that comes from the personality of a statesman engaged in public debate the public are not going to stop to read them.
 Thus the congressional record, t. those who receive it, is daily re hinder of unbusiness like methods The congress that shall have ths force to cut out such absurdities vii make more friends that it is now able to realize.

TALKS ON THRIFT. PREVENTING INDUSTRIAL
 WASTE. .

Waste is worse than loss. The
 time is coming when every per
 son who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of
 thrift is limitless." ."-Thomas A. Edison.
 In the making of coke in this coun- try the beehive type of oven is gem erally used and the valuable by-pro- ducts, including the ammonia, valued at millions of dollars, are allowed to escape. Calculated from the amount of coal used in these industries in the United States, the annual production of ammonium sulphate should be ap- proximately 64O,00O tons valued at 30,000,000, Actually only 35,000 tons valued at $1,S4,000 are being produced
 One of the big independent steel companies is about to invest $3,000,- , 000 in by-product coke ovens, and i will place the ammonia on the market for fertilizer purposes. It is also said that the United States Steel corporation, after sending it's engineers abroad more than a year ago to investigate coke-making, has. as a result decided gradually to do away with it's old-fashioned beehive coke ovens and save the by-products.
 It is true of some American woolen mills that what goes down the river in waste would constitute handsome profit for the same mill in foreign country. But American manufactur- CTS are waking up to the folly of such waste.
 The utilization of cottonseed and cottonseed oil, until recent years a waste product of the cotton crop, is now valued in the United States alone at 50,00O,00O year. The Standard Oil company is a marvel of scientific management in the matter of waste production. El- bert Hubbard enthusiastically says of that much-discussed corporations: "It has stopped the leaks, taken up the economic slack, reduced friction and rendered a service to the world that is the nearest approach to business perfection of any example that can be named"
 Briefly summarized, some the principal ways in which waste is now being eliminated on large scale include these:
 Water powers arc being untilized to a greater extent.
 Timber-cutting in the National for ests is carefully controlled. Resources of coal are being pro- 1 tected, although millions in minerals are still being waster, the national bureau of mines reports. Steel scrap is being converted into Bessemer.
 There are laws to insure the health and safety of workmen. 1 We are making successful war on disease.
 l We are introducing more practical ideas in education, fitting young peo- pie to earn an honorable living along chosen lines.
 1 We are installing a new reserve bank and currency system by which the supply of money will expand ant contract in accordance with the de mands of business, so that it will ebb and flow between the sections where there is surplus and the places where there is scarcity and will prevent

Just Mentioned a Fact.

Billy, aged four, often called on his nearest neighbor, Mrs. Brown, who petted him great deal, and usually gave him a couple of her nice cookies. And if she happened to forget to pass them out he sometimes reminded her of it.
 His father learned of this and chided him for begging, and told him he must not do so any more. Last year. just before Christmas, Billy came home with cooky crumbs in evidence.
 Have you been begging cookies from Mrs. Brown again?" asked his father. rather sternly.
 "No!' said Billy. q didn't beg for any. just said this house smells as if it was full of cookies, but what's that to me?"

Spiegel of Washington and Jefferson
IS one of the fastest backs that has
ever played foot ball. In fact, it is
doubtful II there is another man in
the game today who could defeat him
IN a sprint. Spiegel is not such clever

way from almost any other player in

very few flaws that could be picked in
any point of Harvard's game. And
when Yale did find an opening that
opening was not there for a second
attack by the same play. Harvard
harried Yale's lateral passing. and Yale
was not able to shoot off tackle sutfi-
GENTLY often to stop this. How it would
have answered IL Yale had opened up a
wider attack in the first period or
varied its striking tackle more with
wider plays and with forward passing
in that period is problem.
But the answer is that Harvard
stopped what Yale had to offer through
two periods, and while on three oc-
casions in the second and third periods
Yale reached the threshold of Har-
wards goal or came up to what looked
like a sure score, Harvard stalled them
off.
Altogether, the final result showed
the great superiority OF Harvard. not

attack was certainly strong enough and
varied enough to serve against Iale's
