Thrift ana the MOVIES.

The American people dislike to be
told that they are not. thrifty; but
they are In the extreme. They know
how to make money, but they do not
know how TO spend It or to save it,.
H. P. Behrens, presid ent Of California
Bankers Association.
The moving picture theater is to
be used as an agency to direct
thought toward thrift.
AS part of its campaign of edu-
cation to Offset extravaganza and in
Iculcate the more sensible ideas OF
thrift. the Savings Bank Section OF
the American Bankers Association
has adopted b two-reel moving picture
film, the story for which was written
under the direction of the associa-
ton. This will be released to the
public September is.
The film is called THE Reward Of
Thrift. !" and is a product of the Vat
lagraph Company Of America. It cost
several thousand dollars to create.
The play portrays the fortune of q
| thrifty structural iron worker anc
his wife and little daughter, and how
thrift during prosperity tides ovel
ladversity. There is q bad man,
ttoo, who is finally converted to thrift
by the hero. despite the fact this mar
once attempted the hero's life.
Actual scenes OF work on q steel
framed skyscraper and in caisson'
under compressed air are shown. q!
well as actual scenes in the schoo
savings bank, the real savings bank
where a forger is arrested by mean,
of the finger print method OF identti.
cation, and the building and loan as,

setting which grips the attention and
leaves the desired impression.
Do not fail to see The Reward OF
Thrift when it is presented in any
motion picture theater in your neigh.
borhood. It will interest you anc
benefit you immensely.
II you are a parent, take your sor
and your daughter to see this strong
object lesson which is Just what the

times.

says that Hodges is not in physical

he expressed the opinion that the
nominee fully realizes that fact.

travel to and from Clarksburg has
become such a joke that there is talk
of reviving the old stage line between
this city and Clarksburg. The old
contractor is still well and hearty and
the old stage which has seating ca
pacity for TWENTY-FIVE passengers is
In a good state Of preservation and is
still owned by ). p. Cole, who makes
use of 1t on special occasions. The
stage would leave here at g a. m. and
arrive at Clarksburg at 8 a. M. On
the return trip the stage would leave
Clarksburg at 6 p. m. and arrive
here at 8 p. m. This would be de-
Icided advantage over the present ar
lrangemnt since the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad does not operate a
train until after o'clock to Clarks-
burg and return trip can not be
made the same day. No dependence
whatever can be put Ii the trolley
line as the power Is off most of the
time here OF late. Lets have stage.

New Tariff Hints.

Available now is the official record
OF the first nine months of the new
tariff law, a record not at all pleasing
or favorable to the country. Adverse
ehects on business are plainly en-
phasized by the latest returns from
the measure mooted SO much at one
time by Democrats as the salvation
OF the country. The returns discred-
1t the Democratic predictions that
the new tariff would be beneficial in
foreign trade and the domestic in
dustries of the country. The record
also gives a hard blow to Democratic
promises that the new tariff law
would reduce the cost of living, as
shown by the fact that there has
been no decrease in cost.
The record for the nine months
shows that imports of manufactures
have enormously Increased. Exports
of manufactures have fallen off, the
American factories have reduced
their output and finally the cost OF
living is Just as high, II not higher
than ever.
The latest returns. for instance,
show that the import price of cattle
brought in under the present law,
duty free, is almost fifty per cent
higher than the price under the
Payne law with its protective duty
p year ago. Also eggs. which were
put ON the free list with much talk
about cheaper living. are now being
Imported without duty at a price
about twenty per cent higher than
under the Payne law.
Even in the case or Clothing
wool and lumber, which also went on
the free list. and in, many other me-
cessities which enter into the daily
life of the average man, on his table
or otherwise, the present import
prices are higher than those under
the Payne law year ago.
The Democrats, of course, refuse to
concede that the effects OF the tarin
law on home industries have been so
impressively adverse as the figures
indicate. They attribute the falling
off of exports to the worldwide busi-
ness depression, but that does not ex-
plain the enormous increase In i'm
ports OF manufactures.
Republican tariff experts and 9TH
ers contend that President Wilson'S
recommendation that the manufac-
tuners OF this county ;:sharpen their
wits by rubbing them against those
OF the manufacturers OF the world.
has led the way to disaster and that
the rivalry with manufacturers by
admitting their product to our mar
kets has reduced the domestic output
by hundreds of millions and the ex-
ports Of. manufacturers SIS 900, 700
The theory that a reduction OF
duties would increase revenue by a
stimulation OF imports also has been
knocked into a cooked hat by the
cold facts in the case. for while i'm
ports have been increasing nearly
100000, 900 customs receipts have
fallen off $26.00O;0D0.
The nine months operation OF the
new tariff does not bear out a single
contention or claim advanced by itte
trainers and the official figures show
It to he an absolute failure. What
ever the prejudice against the Payne
tariff law. that customs legislation
was distinctively Wholesome and
helpful compared to the present I'm
wood-Simmons tariff law as
shown by Official figures and the gem
eral condition of the country.

Louisiana Trapptrs and the st. Louis
Fur Market.

Statements have recently been
issued by a large firm of fur deal.
ers in st. Louis that a ready
market for Louisiana furs is open
there and that cash prices only
slightly below the average will be
paid for all shipments. Price lists
are now being sent out by this
firm, and the trappers should be
informed at an early date of just
what they may expect, and
whether the prospects justify their
engaging regularly in the business
during the coming months of the
open season.
The Conservation Commission
is notifying its agents to commu-
nicate with as many trappers as
possible, and give them direct as
surances of the actual state of af-
fairs in the fur business. It is the
opinion of the members of the
Commission that the statements
of the St. Louis dealers are un-
doubtedly correct. While prices
are naturally depressed somewhat
by the European situation, it is
unreasonable to suppose that
traffic as well established in this
country as the fur business would
be entirely paralyzed by the dif-
ficulty of expectation. The de-
mand for furs is general, and the
adjustment necessary between ex-
porters and importers will soon be
accomplished. The Commission
points out that the sending of
price lists to the trappers should
cause them to realize that this is
the best indication in the world
that, conditions are not seriously
disturbed
About two-thirds of the Ameri-
can catch of furs is exported to
Europe, but there is an almost
equal quantity of foreign furs inn
ported into. this country, which
putsthe fur trade on a compara-
lively better basis than cotton, for
instance.
Regular sealed bids started on
the Funsten exchange in St. Louis
last Thursday. The season opened
up with fair prices, all things con-
sidered. There is market for
raw furs. and the trappers may
secure full current value for their
skins. In the st. Louis market
trappers will get their money as
soon as the products are received,
and graded.
The St. Mary banner., 1914-11-28

The editor of the Daily States
in an editorial in last Wednes-
days issue Of that paper, calls
upon Sheriff Peterman and the
sheriff of Lafourche to resign their
OH ces, because they having left
the Democratic party they should
surrender them. Sheriff Pe;erman
was elected by the people of the
parish Of st. Mary without opposi-
ton. Every man. democratic,
republican and progressive who
voted, cast their ballot for w. T.
Peterman. He is not sheriff sub
ject to the will of Bob Ewing or of
the democratic party. He is the
sheriff of the people of the Parish
of st. Mary. They have no com.
plant. All of them, whatever
their party allegiance may be,
want him to remain where he is
and continue to serve them with
his ability and faithfulness.
What right then has this self-as-
sumed censor of democratic and
political honor to demand that
Sheriff Peterman resign? What
does he know of political fair
dealing? But the States declares
that he should be forced to resign.
No one here wants him to resign;
therefore, his constituents will
take no part'in the forcing busi-
ness. Contain yourself, Mr..
Ewing. You may think SO, but
you are not the whole cheese. Mr..
Peterman will remain sheriff to
the end of his. term and longer if
he so desires. e..
