WASTE PAPER CAMPAIGNS.

Efforts are being made in many cases to arouse peo-
pie to the waste paper nuisance Some towns have their
appearance simply ruined by the waste paper floating
about the streets. Residences may be handsome and
home grounds we'll kept up But if people will strew lit
ter about the streets and if picks up those towns
are bound to look like pig pen.
In many places the idea of setting waste paper re-
ceptaces about the streets has been led 1t helps out
certain extent But the boys who sweep out stores
ofen detected putting the sweepngs into these cans for
street officials carry off, which does not help make
the streets any cleanly. You can't change public
habits simply by providing cans for refuse.
The street officials may be active. But half
day after they make their rounds people continue to
throw paper bags cigarette boxes and other litter around
the Streets the town will look just as bad.
The street is the common paror and front doorstep
for all Of us. Comparatively few people will throw
mess paper their best carpet at home Yet the
people will empty bag of fruit, and then throw away
the paper They have lordy feeling that menial
of the town will along and pick it up They cannot
spare the time put the paper in their pocket and throw
it into the waste box at home
Just little campaign Of education is all that is
sary The disorderly habits start in childhood the
children trained to pick up every scrap of paper about
the school yard it is very simple matter to carry
step further and have them pick up paper the
The moment they get that habit bit Of loose paper looks
repusve to them and they will quit adding to it. The
appearance of many towns could be reoutonzed in this
way in few years.

My Dear Mr. Schader: l have just

garage next to the half block of land
owned by my associates and myself
Tin Calipatria) wants to buy lot
Of US. He wants to pay $500 for the
lot. / have talked to my associates
and find that the price he wants to
pay for the lot is just what we paid
for it, long time ago. Some of our
people have been in Calipatria recent
ly, and they think very highly of these
lots. They think that Calipatria will
be one of the largest towns in the val
ley, one of these days, and that prop
erty will double up in value, many
times, and that these lots will bring
g very high price, later on. You see
we are to have two branch railway
lires, starting from Calipatria, and
this will make it quite railroad CEN
ter; also, it will be a center for cot
ten. The new cotton gin and other
enterprises that are soon to be start
cd in Calipatria, will help great deal.
Our people say that if they could get
one thousand dollars each, now, that
perhaps they would do it. Also, if
the lots are not sold soon, they viii
raise on the price, for the lots are
certainly we'll located. / have told Mr..
Smith to tell the party to go and see
you. If he comes you can tell him
what our ideas are. We paid you all
cash for these lots, we do nos owe
anything on them, and we feel sure
we will make much more money by
hanging on to them than we will by
selling them, for we have the greatest
faith in the future of Calipatria.
Yours very truly,
/ M. II. SHERMAN.

Most of us are guilty-if crime it he

This month of May the manufac-
turers are exhibiting their usual in
terest in the colors which may come
into fashion next autumn.
To the layman this forehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
man behind the business knows that
now is the appointed hour to look
with sharpened eyes into the near
future.
Merchandise is a stupendous bulk
of material that quickly goes into
profit or loss. 1t makes or mars n
merchant and affects thousands who
owe to his cleverness their chance to
live in comfort II he does not look
ahead with an eye and mind trained
to take into account every minor and
major happening, and every shadow
of coming events, he goes down into
debt and carries the thousands with
him. When those who are more in
terested than ever before in the pro-
duction of women's apparel because
of the strain caused by the war and
the feeling of false economy. say
among themselves that this color and
that fabric will have no chance for
popularity next winter, then they de-
eide a momentous issue.
They realize that the public must
be induced to buy while the buying
is good, while it can make use of the
pieces of merchandise that exist and
which may soon cease to be worth
while. The public itself, wants to
know the prospects for the success Of
every garment. If its service is to be
of short duration, then wisdom die
tates that it must be made to yield
every ounce of service now.
Many of us would willingly buy a
garment, or piece OF cloth, if we
were candidly told that 1t would not
serve us long, but that it would last
for another three months giving that
as the reason for its reduction from
the original price. But we feel
cheated and Inundated when, after

why insist that those who have lit

1t on uniforms, on somber and demure
garments that proclaim themselves

to spend that mite often on what she
