1916

The year 1916 has been of
strange consequence to this
country. 1t has seen record
prices paid the farmer for his
products. 1t has seen an un-I
believable prosperity blanket the
East. 1t has seen American
shipping and shipbuilding take a
new lease Of life and flourish as
never before. 1t is us that arc,
reaping the golden harvest that
Europe has sown. A harvest
grown in q land Of graves and
drenched with tears and blood.
We are prosperous, but someone
is paying for our prosperity.
The worker whose labor has
toiled gold into the war chests
| Of the fighting nations. He
pays for our prosperity. Pays
it with his work and his daily
bread.
1t will soon be Christmas. On
that day we will go to church,
lsit in our pews, and hear the
preacher tell the old story Of
| the birth of Christ. And we
will hear of the song the Angels
sang to the shepherds. Peace on
earth, good will to men, Peace
IN earth. Where is it found?
! Are you at peace with yourself
with your neighbor, with your
God? Too many of us are toe
quick to take affront, too anx,
ious to quarrel, too prone tc
- herald the faults of others, and
. too exasperatingly slow to for
get or forgive the smallest wrong
The tendency of the individual
becomes the tendency Of the ma

the clamor of the people fol-

TALKS ON

We mistake greatly the mean
ine of thrift if we conclude that
it means simply selfienial and
saving; for while it does involve
sacrifice, it is sacrifice for a pur-
pose. Thrift earns for a pur-
pose and spends for purpose.
There is a thrift that is mean
and niggardly, and robs life of
much of its comforts, and there
is thrift that is broad and help
ful--the kind that makes for a
well-regulated life. gets solid
satisfaction day by day, prepares
for a peaceful old age when the
earning power is less and the
needs greater than to-day.
The thrift we need is, to re.
peat, the broader thrift that
works hard, spends wisely and
saves consistently, and not the
narrow thrift that merely saves
money at whatever cost in com
fort and convenience.
Get the thrift habit-the
broad thrift habit, now; practcf
it thouehtfully; waste not the
little things; find the JOY that 1
growing bank account brings; in
vest your savings safely ant
prohtably; remember tomorrow
but forget not to-day; spend fo
the things that last and find III
secret of the broader thrift tha
makes for better living. 1t i
the only thrift worth while.

FUTURE PANAMA SLIDES.

In the report just made by Donald f. Macdonald for
mely canal geoogist and mining geologist for the
United States bureau of mines, who has been in Panama
investigating the pecuares Of the earth in the region
of the canal Sides it is stated that while there may be
trouble in the future with Slides it is not likely to
great Inconvenience He points out that geologic
conditions were not sufficiently considered in the first
plans for digging Culebra cut and that the sides al
lowed to remain too steep But built the cut might
have stood intact for years had it not been for volcanic
disturbances which caused drop in the bed Of the
near the sthmus and Indirectly also caused disturbances
which affected the earth crust the isthmus itself
These disturbances likely again. he says and
il may be that dredging will have to be resorted to
small scale for an indefinite period.
In many respects Mr.. Macdonald s report confirms
the opinions set forth by canal engineers and others inter
ested in the project 1t has been charged that there
undue haste and desire to set record in large
cheering achievements regardless of duty to technical
science. Especially have the advocates of level
canal who still exist in large numbers contended that the
job had been botched The canal itself is pretty good
evidence that it il based sound engineering principles
The slides might have been anticipated it is true but that
is insignificant oversight when the number of opportu
mites to commit dangerous is taken into
sideration The locks which the most vital part of
the project according to this expert not likely to
soften into mud have commended. This statement
again tends to dspfoVe the opinion that the canal eng
failed to test the quality of the native rock used
But while everything has turned out fairly well, it
should not be forgotten Mr. Macdonald that 80
far as the digging of the Gebra cut is concerned these
faults have increased the cost of the canal several million
dollars" This may be due has been pointed out to
the lapdlty with which the preliminary work pushed.
There disposition the part OF those anxious to
have their names associated with the project to push it
before the public possible These persons
IN position to exert large influence the govern
men engineers charged with the duty of preparing the
original plans little more thoroughness at that time
would hav@ meant much to American prestige and to
American engineering science at this time And also it
would have meant great deal to the nations pocketbook

CALL is ISSUED FOR
NETTING OF FRIIIT
Growers At SPOKANE


The work Of organizing the Fruit
Growers agency is nearing an end.
An official cali has just been issued by
the representatives of the United
States department of agriculture, urg-
ing the fruit growers of all communi-
ties in the northwest to send their off
cial representatives to Spokane on
Thursday, March %, to participate in
the final organization of the agency.
This campaign of organization was
started by the government representa-
tives at die statewide conference Of
farmers held at Boise the middle Of
February under the auspices Of the
state department Of farm markets, and
at which conference the plan was
unanimously indorsed Since the Boise
conference the government men have
addressed meetings of the growers in
every fruit growing section of Wash
ington and are today holding meetings
in the last district to be covered in
oregon. The plan presented has met
with favor in every community of the
Pacific northwest with the exception
of the immediate territory surrounding
the city of Wenatchee, in which one
community the growers have commit
ted themselves to the policy Of holding
tAeir fruit for cash buyers, which, If
they succeed, viii il no way hamper
or Interfere with the government plan
but experienced fruit men in other
sections look upon their attitude as
Impractical. All other sections Of the
Wenatchee territory have Joined with
an the other fruit districts in accord
ing the government officials the most
gracious treatment and are heartily
supporting the plan.
The government party will hold a
number Of additional meetings in south
ern Idaho next week, the dates ard
places of which will shortly be an
nounced by Director Seholtz Of the
state department of farm markets, who
viii have charge of the itinerary.
