TALKS ON THRIFT
No. s-wastins a Sheet of Paper

In the practice of economy there must
be reason and due regard to relative
values, for in the saving of a little
there may be the wasting of much. For
instance, a certain bank president
drawing a goodly salary, spends great
deal of time cutting envelopes for use
as scratch paper. He is wasting his
1 time, for if he is worthy of being a
president of bank, his brain value is
of so much greater worth than the
paper value he is trying to save, that
he is penny wise and pound foolish.
He should be thinking out the problems
Eof his bank, not trying to save it. a few
sheets of paper. On the other hand,
it would be good economy for large
department store, burning hundreds of
lights daily, to pay man ten dollars
week to watch for needless waste of
light and turn out those not in use
A certain man dropped nickel at a
railroad station. In his endeavor to
find it, he lost his train, lost his temper,
missed business engag ement that held
up four other men, and caused confu
sion all round, and had to spend a
quarter for a telegram to hold the en-
gagement for his late arrival. That
was por economy.
The point to be emphasized in all
such endeavors is to impress upon the
individual who wastes that if all were
| to do as he does, the loss would be
enormous; and if all were to do as he
should, the saving would be great We
are both careless and thoughtless. We
leave our lights burning when they do
no one any good. We leave the water
running, forgetting that the meter is
on it's job all the time, and every turn
of the wheel means money to some one,
| if not to us. It is all very well to
say: "It's included in the rent,'-yes
but the landlord has probably figured
that out when he fixed his rental. You
pay, not he, for every hour you burn a
useless light, or let the water run to
waste.
A certain school teacher, wide awake
to impress these things upon her pupils,
got her great chance one day. A little
girl made few figures on a sheet of
paper and threw it away. The teacher
asked why she wasted that sheet of
paper, and the pupil replied that sit
was only a sheet Of paper, and besides,
it was furnished by the Board Of Edu-
cation free" Calling the class to order,
she asked them to take out their pads
and count the number of sheets. Then
she told them what the pad cost and
asked them to calculate the cost Of one
sheet-a fraction of fraction Of a
cent. She then told them how many
pupils attended the schools of the city
on an average of 1870 days a year and
asked them to figure the cost if each
pupil wasted but one sheet day. The
total was a surprise.
It's not the cost of a single sheet of
paper, a single hour Of useless light, a
match, a cent or two, that counts-it's

Farmers and ranchers have just dis

is in great demand by leather makers.
The canaigre root contains from Is to
20 per cent tannin and the product is

ANXIETY IN HOLLAND

Official optimism in Holland does not
altogether obscure the serious tension
there. The government may be entirely
honest, and undoubtedly is, in it's state
ment that there is no basis for appre-
hension of impending trouble with any
foreign power. It probably has conf
dence in its ability to avert any actual
crisis through combined firmness and
tolerance in diplomacy. Nevertheless,
the critical events of recent weeks have
served to intensity public anxiety,
which cannot wholly be allayed until the
Dutch minister Of foreign affairs offers
some convincing proof of his assertion
that there is nothing to worry about f"
The plain fact is that the govern
ment Of the Netherlands has endured
great amount of provocation and has
suffered many indignities, and its eff
forts to preserve neutrality have been
subjected to a constant strain. Through
the German policy of sea warfare, Hol-
land has lost nearly thirty ships by sub
marines, mines and warships, and some
of the destruction has been wrought in
Dutch waters. Vigorous protest against
this violation of neutral rights has been
made, but the existence of unprecedent-
ed conditions has been recognized and
the recognition has been conducive to a
spirit of caution and forbearance. At
the same time Holland has been alert
and prepared for any emergency for
twenty months past, with it's full armed
force guarding the frontier, and here
can be no doubt that any territorial vio-
lation of it's neutrality would have been
stoutly resisted.
It has been quite generally assumed
that if Holland enters the war it will be.
against Germany, but there is re-
ported belief among the Dutch that the
Paris conference Of the Allies foreshad-
ows a coming offensive movement that
may endanger the little country's neu-
trality. The situation is confessedly OBJ
Scure.
War against Germany would mean
a land attack that might prove rllinous,
but an alliance with Germany would re
suit In immediate paralysis of Dutch
commerce and the loss of the kingdoms
valuable colonies. Hollands colonial
possessions consist Of the Dutch East
Indies and the Dutch West Indies, the
former including Java, Sumatra and
Borneo among the more important is
lands, and the latter comprising Dutch
Guiana in South America and the Cura-
Gao islands. All told, this makes a ter
ritory of about $4,000 square miles with
a population Of thirty eight millions,
and these colonies are the chief source
Of the wealth of the Netherlands
It is readily apparent that Holland
has reason to avoid participation ip the
war, which has brought great prosperity
to the country. The situation is critical,
but the Dutch are prudent and well bal
anced, and it does not seem probable
that they will engage in the conflict I'M
less driven to it by the exigency of
menace to their national existence.

BIG BOXING CONTEST
Lee Morrissey and Ad Wolgast to
Meet at Idaho Falls on Labor Day
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
After considerable wrangling | have
succeeded in matching Lee Morrissey
with Ad Wolgast to box twenty rouh I'D
at Idaho Falls, Idaho, labor day, Sc d.
4th, at 9:30 o'clock p. m. opening d ay
OF the great War Bonnet Roundup,
the famous animal event.
The men are to box clean breaks.
This particular kind of milling is to
Morrissey's liking, as he has fo ur
inches longer reach than the former
champion. There will be no hitting
in the clinches, and no one arm free
to hit at all times; they will have to
stand up and box clean at all times
There has been large arena erect ed
to seat 5000 people.
This is the first time Wolgast h as
ever consented to box and cut out his
mitigating.
This no doubt will be the great Est
scientific boxing match ever STAG ed
in the Northwest.
Morrissey considers this the gre at
est opportunity of his boxing career.
and is now in the mountains training
with Eddy Duffy and Patsy Corriq IAN
and will be nthe best of condition a
boxer can possibly be put in.
Eddy Duffy, of Brooklyn, N. w.
and Frank Barreau, champion welt er-
weight of Canada, will 90 tive I've
rounds, semi-headiner. These be vs
are evenly matched and are guar IN
teed to put on a bout that will be
worth the price of admission alone.
Arrangements have been compile led
to match Fred Beel, the Marshfid Id
Wis, Bear Cat, ex-champion Wrestler
of the World, with Mike Yokel. for
Sept. 7 in the same arena.

THE RAILWAY CONTROVERSY

The overwhelming vote of the
members of the four Brotherhoods
of Railway Employees in favor of a
general strike and tie-up OF freight
service must not be construed as max
ing such strike imperative The
vote was taken more to secure the
judgment of the members in their in
dividual capacities and thus to back
up the demands of the officials of
the various unions or else instruct
those leaders as to the real feeling
of the membership. The practically
unanimous vote means that the labor
leaders have correctly interpreted the
sentiment of the rank and file of the
unions. The present hours and wage
is denounced and better conditions
are demanded. Thus the issue is
joined. The railroads have spent, we
should judge, in excess of quarter
of million dollars in presenting their
case to the public in newspaper adj
vertising and in pamphlet and circu-
lar publicity. The contention of the
labor leaders have not been so thor
oughly presented, but through the
medium of the loyal labor press pub
licity has been given to their demands
and the people have been consulted
as never before by both sides to la
Dor controversy
1t may be said that the case has
just now reached the point where it
may be arbitrated-the labor leaders
were averse to any arbitration before
the membership gave expression to
their demands-and this course may
be pursued Much depends upon the
action OF the railway managers. If
they show any spirit of fairness-any
consideration of the overwhelming
demands of their employees trouble
can be averted; otherwise the great
est tie-up ever known in the trans
portation business is apt to follow.
In its basic sense the issue is one
OF efficiency. The wages OF the men
being computed on the basis of 100
miles OF train service constituting a
days work Under the existing sys-
tenn it requires ten hours to make such
a run. The men assert the run can be
made in eight hours, which would les
sen the days work but maintain the
present rate of wages. 1t might re-
quire smaller trains to cut down the
running time, which would mean some
increase in the number of employees,
but otherwise there could be no ex-
ira expense to the railroads
The controversy is one more mile
post in the inevitable march towards
government ownership of transporta-
tion lines, which is coming in seven
league boots.
