POWERFUL ORGANIZATION
ENDORSES GOVERNMENTS
LIGHT CONSERVATION

Las Vegas local No. l Of the Youth
full and Persistent Amalgamation of
Hand Holders has given its unstinted
endorsement to the regulations Of
the fuel administrator requiring that
Sunday and Thursday nights be made
occasions for the conserving of coal
by a reduction in the amount Of
electricity used for lighting purposes.
A prominent member of the organ
ization this morning informed The
Optic that he believed the conserva-
tion of light should not be confined
to outdoor illumination. He said
it should apply to parlors, which
should not be equipped with lamps
of more than three candle power
during the period of the war All
fathers and mothers should be asked
to retire at 9 o'clock, as sitting up
to read is a frightfuI waste of cleo
tricity.

RAILROAD STOREKEEPERS
MAKE PLANS FOR SAVING AS
NEEDED WAR MEASURE

aim of the Santa Fe storekeepers to
an unusual extent during these war
times. This is the statement of ].

keeper, who has just returned from
conference of storekeepers in To-
peka. The conference was attended

partment on every division of the
road. The purchasing department

"No more appropriate night than
Sunday for light conservation could
have been selected so far as our un-
ion is concerned" continued the
faithful adhcrent Of the Y. P. A. Of
Fl. Fl. "That is one of our busiest
nights. and a twilight or semi-dark-
ness is the best possible condition
under which we work. Wednesday
usually is our second busiest date,
and we have decided to transfer it's
activities to Thursday as much as
possible. Our union is strict in not
allowing handholding to be indulged
in more than l6 hours in each e.
The new lighting rules will prove
beneficial in enabling many of us to
get in a full DAVIS work in place of
the half-time schedule we have been
forced to work under when electric
ity was cheap"-,Las Vegas Optic.

The Sentinel was issued this
week under very great difficulties
and under circumstances wholly
beyond its control, which will ex-
plain why the paper is not up to
its usual high standard. The
electric light company, upon which
the Sentinel is dependent for power,
was disabled Monday, owing 10
lack Of fuel Wednesday, the
motor that propels our type-setting
machine burned out and it became
necessary to have practically all our
news set In Cleveland. This
trouble involved hustle and ex-
pense, but our readers will get
their Sentinel on time and we trust
they will overlook any errors that
may have escaped US, under the
circumstances.

PROTECT THE QUAIL

II the Legislature. passes an open
season for quail bill, it will go squaEe
against four-fifths of the people of the
State. We 60 about a little and talk
to few, but we haven't met one per
son, man or woman. who is in favor
of an open season for quail. One man
at recent meeting is reported TO
have said that this opposition was ,all
sentiment. Well, that is enough, says
the Ohio State Journal. Sentiment Is
what person thinketh in his heart;
something of more account than what
he thinketh in his head The differ
ence between the two is the difference
between truth and fact. But the fact
is on the quail's side, too. 1t is more
than sentiment. It is a utility. Farm
ers spend hundreds of thousands Of
dollars to do what this modest bird
is doing. How much more food goes
into the dinner pail because of the
quail we cannot calculate, but it is a
great deal. Shooting the quail feeds
the sporting vanity, but it feeds moth
ing else The people don't want the
Legislature to kill this lovely bird.

TALKS ON BANKING
ENCOURAGING THE TEN.
t-k rST1A4fsW fl4ft rSrtr1ar,
(American Bankers Association)

ENCUUkAllfNG The ZEN
DENCY 10 SPEND
There are two mediums that make
it easy to spend money without a
pricking conscience. The first Is the
charge account, and the other is the
checking account. All large stores
have made it steady policy to en-
courage the opening of charge ac-
counts being liberal in their rules as
to the great risk. A man need have
but a few good references and check
up we'll to be honored with place on
the books Of the house, where he may
buy up to certain limit, have it
charged, receive his bill monthly and
pay within, a reasonable time, which
should be two weeks. These are OBJ
vious advantages in this feature of
modern business, and the department
stores are constantly imnortuning peo-
pie to- avail themselves Of such facili-
ties. But beware of this alluring bait.
1t tempts you to oyer-buy, purchasing
the things you do not need, perhaps,
and would not buy if you had to pay
cash.
Human nature is alike everywhere.
We all succumb to such temptations.
The charge account does facilitate
shopping, for you do not have to wait
for change, may return goods with
ease and have a record of what you
buy each month. Use it, but do not
abuse it.
The second medium is the checking
account in bank. Like the charge
account, it makes spending easy.
There was time when we lived on a
cash basis. We paid for what we got
when we got it in money We could
see the money go. We missed it. In
the sight Of real money there is some
thing subtle and precious, and we let
90 with regret. To all healthy and
normal individuals uncorrupted by the
possession Of "easy money" or super
fiuous wealth, or over indulgence in
alcohol, the parting with real money
is painful AS the crisp bill leaves
your hand ghastly little sigh ac.
companies it. You have then tangibly
parted with your money. The fruits Of
your labor are gone.
The insidious side Of the checking
account is that it enables you to spend
money without pricking Of conscience
You write your check in moment
and hand it over as so much money
but it lacks the sting Of spending rea
money.
Beware how you let the charge ac.
count run away with your good judg.
ment. Keep yourself in check. By
all means have a bank account If yor
spend but hundred dollars a month
but beware lest the temptation tx
draw checks gets you into the habit o.
treating money in the bank as differ
ent from money in your purse, be-
cause all you have to do Is to fill out
a check.
A bank account for household ex.
penses Is the best thing yet devised
but It has its temptations. Consider
your check book as q record TO tell
you where your money went, who got
ii, for what purposes, and be your
best receipt, but look out for the az
lnrement Of the checking account that
II does not beguile you into reckless
spending th,t you would not fall prey
