LET PUBLIC WORKS TAKE
UP THE SLACK

EACH day that labor is unemployed there is an
\ economic loss to the community. Every man
not employed is either public charge an idle
producing unit and since it is certain that return to
peace basis will take time public works should
absorb labor fast possible under conditions
which might seem uneconomical account of high
wage scales and high prices of materials Even if the
public pays greater price for public improvements, it
prevents the economic loss due to idle power IT,
to prevent unemployment, the army is demobilized
slowly, the public pays for the maintenance Of the sol
diers. 1t would be better to de1nobze promptly
the military situation permits, increasing the amount
of public work to such extent to prevent
ployment. Such course would mean permanent and
substantial returns for the money spent, whereas the
maintenance of men in camp after the military
sity ceases is a dead loss.

WHY ADVERTISED
STORES SUCCEED

Because people have formed the
habit Of looking first in the news
papers to see what bargains are
offered.
These are not times when one
starts on hit Or miss shopping
trips. Prices are high, and peo
pie do not buy things until they
absolutely have to, or until they
are offered some bargain which
they believe has special value.
When a woman finds that she
needs a certain article, the first
thing she does is to look over the
newspaper advertising She makes
a note of the stores that make
special offerings in that line.
she visits these stores first. By
the time they have hauled out
their stocks for her to look at, the
chance that non advertised
store can get her business on that
purchase is about equal to the
value Of last years cattle show
ticket.
And in looking over the adver-
Using for things they want, most
women find other things offered
at prices which they believe it is
economy to accept.

BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance

The splendid spirit OF patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
Is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June 20, when the
first series of s75O.0O0.O0O Of United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body Of men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere
They make deep study Of finance.
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and cur Allies in financing
the war, and they do not hesitate TO
place the stamp OF approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government TO avoid repetition of the
mistakes.
This plan % Certificates OF Indebt.
eGaess spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall
The certificates form the basis for
system OF credits which will relieve
tie country Of great strain it would
experience If the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

FOOD RESERVES AND FIRE
HAZARDS.

The food administration issues the
following statement of fire hazards in
rural districts and the Importance OF
safeguarding the nations food sup
plies against this danger:
The season is at hand when farm
ers are to fill their barns with hay and
grain. This period when barns. gran
aries and storehOuses contain the
greatest amount of food supplies Is
also the time when they are most
liable to fire destruction.
Farmers are the only large handlers
of food supplies upon whom the gov
eminent depends. entirely without
supervision by inspectors. to guard
their holdings against losses by fire
and In view OF the supreme impor-
lance of guarding this seasons stored
crops. farmers are asked TO consider
destruction or spoilage of food
through fire as misfortune to the
Nation and the allies as we'll as a per-
sonal loss to the holder.
Prominent among the many sources
OF IRE III TuEdl ulSlFlCtS are nSnI0lng g.
defective flues and stoves. spontane-
Gus combustion. carelessness with
matches. incendiarism and sparks
from chimneys ana locomotives.
Effective means or fire prevention
and control are understood by the ma
jority OF property owners, but par
ticular attention is called TO the i'm
portance OF removing infiamma BILE

and 10 adequate equipment in ladders

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.


The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years a person has
lived in the city by merely glancin9
under her bed. II there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps of ribbons and laces-if
it's man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from q broken
lock to old road maps. II, besides
these, there are bundles of maya
zines and piles Of newspapers, not
to mention a bicycle seat and q
green umbrella that one might use
IN private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
lily, Il they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and chung to
through a moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such ar
extent that there is not the slight
est hope OF their ever being cured.
They will think from an attic point
OF view for the rest Of their lives.

come resigned.

nor should they be suspected of do

Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for scheme of

the wood shed, others III the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on tn.

thing that overtlowed from any OF
these places was just taken up tc

souls live with a cellar, three stories
and an attic still lodged in thei
minds, and, though they will il
