INTEREST IN
SAFETY WORK
is WIDESPREAD

A mighty wave of puElic Safety eff
fort is sweeping the country from
Pacific to Atlantic and from the Cana
dian border into the south. AS this
is written several cities have just
wound up safety-week campaigns
Detroit and Rochester are conducting
such campaigns, and at Toledo, Ohio
Springfield, Mass; Kansas City, Mo-;
Buffalo, N. Y; Wilmington, Della. +;
Philadelphia, Pa; Madison, Wis, and
Joliet, Ill.,, definite plans are under
way either for the financing of To-
cal council with a permanent paid
secretary, or (where the local coun.
Gil already has a paid secretary for
permanent public safety work.
A most constructive bit of work
has been inaugurated at Kansas City
by L. J. Smyth, secretary of the Kan
sas City division, National Safety
Council, who, by pointing out the dan
gers of existing traffic conditions and
the inevitable increase in those dan
gers resulting from the increase in
motor traffic, induced the representa-
tives of the leading civic and CONNER
cial organizations to undertake the
establishment of city planning COM
mission. The commission will look
far into the problems of the future
and will base its recommendations
for a realignment of the city primari-
ly on considerations of public safety.
Toledo, under the leadership of it's
automobile cluE. is planning a safety
campaign for the week Of December
s. The local council at Detroit plans
to engage permanent secretary on
January 1. Cleveland is now organ
izing a permanent safety committee,
appointed by the mayor, to represent
the city in cooperating with the
Northeastern Ohio division of the N.
S. G. The local council at Kansas
City two days ago opened it's school
for safety supervisors and foremen

FRENCH SAVINGS
GROW RAPIDLY IN
YEAR OF PEACE
Deposits for 1919 Eclipse Previous
High Record

The marvellous thrift of the French
people is shown by the figures for de-
posits in the government savings
hanks for 1918, which have just been
made public by the statistical depart
ment of the government. In spite of
the fact that treasury bonds are be-
ing sold at the rate of billion francs
a month and the savings banks are
witnessing heavy Withdrawals by in
vestors who wish to profit by the
bond interest, which is higher than
the savings banks pay, the total de-
posits increased 34O,O00,00O francs
last year
This means that at the close of
1918 deposits in the government saw
ings banks totaled 3,580,OOO, 900
francs. This large gain has again
Eeen surpassed since the turn of the
year, the net gain in deposits for the
first nine months of 1919 being $780,
100000 francs, eclipsing all previous
records
These figures appear to be the most
conclusive answer to the oft-repeated
statements that the French were be-
coming the victims of the spendthrift
habits which have followed the close
of the war in many countries, and
which have done their full share in
pushing the cost of living to its pres
ent abnormal level. While it may be
that more money is being spent for
1uxuries in France, as in all other
countries, the undoubted fact remains
that the age-old habits of thrift which
have always characterized the French
are still a powerful influence with
them.

WORLD HUNGRY
FOR PRODUCTS
Of THIS NATION

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A banker
identified with large industrial cor
porations, and shrewd observer of
market and business conditions, says
will absorb everything the manufac-
turing concerns of this country can
produce. 1t will require some time
for the world to catch up with it's
normal consumption requirements.
The mills, furnaces and factories,
he added will he taxed to their ut
most to satisfy demand, and the in
dustries of this country are bound to
enjoy a period of lasting prosperity.
He further states:
"The recent break in the stock
market has given investors a rare
opportunity to buy standard stocks,
with every prospect of material en-
hancement in value. When buying
stocks the investor should keep in
mind the stocks of the productive
COmQdnloS-CnOS0 companies IndC Will
be called upon to supply the world
with what it needs. The shelves of
the merchants are bare, more so than
they were at any time during the
war. and it will take two to three
years to replenish them. Consumers
will need steel, automobiles, textiles,
ships, petroleum, copper, coal, steel
rails, locomotives, cars and other
products in unlimited quantities. For
the past five years production for
actual business and commercial pur-
poses has been far below normal
We will have to speed up to put the
world on it's feet again, for produc-
ton is the sole solution of all the
problems growing out of the war
Europe must buy our raw materials,
for without them she cannot get the
production necessary for the great
economic adjustment of her COM
merce, industry and finances.

PRODUCTION MUST
BE SPEEDED up
CHICAGO MERCHANT
Chicago Merchant Declares That High
Wages May Be Kept up and Living
Costs Reduced if American Labor
Will Settle Down to Work.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1-"More pay
| shorter hours" AS this plea of work
ers in almost every industry continues
and demands for increased wages and
fewer hours are granted by manufac-
turers, production declines, a shortage
of goods results, and, like a skyrocket,
up go prices to new high levels. "The
pity of it" says John S. Capper, presi-
dent of Capper & Capper, whose firm
operates a chain of high-grade mems
ware stores in the United States and
in London, in a statement on the
times.
We fiddle and fiddle while Rome
burns," declares Mr.. Capper. "The
world is hungry for the things we
eat, wear and use. Stark hungry!
The cupboard is bare as a bone
Prices mount to staggering figures,
and the cry of our worker is-more
pay, shorter hours-and then a short
age shoots the price of things up an.
other notch; again the cry-more pay
less hours.
"Ye gods! Must the vicious circleI
continue? Shall we never see that it,
is more hours we need, that to re-
duce the cost of the things we use,I
we must produce not less but more? q
81 just received a telegram from my
brother in London, reading, Market
Eare, prices awful, hopeless, sailing
home. Oh, if Americans would grasp
their opportunity
Prices had gotten so high in this
country and merchandise so scarce,
we sent two of our firm abroad, hop
ing to find what we needed and atI
lower prices. The cable message isl
the answer! Merchandise is even
shorter on the other side than here.
They have nothing to sell and their
shelves are bare. They want to buyI
to buy from America-to buy theI
things that Americans make-and the
answer of our workers is-reduce our
hours-44 hours week instead of sol
"a cut in production of 25 per cent.
"The writer sympathizes with those
who work He understands what
hard work, privation and the struggle
of life is-he has lived it, He has
walked eight miles day to earn sol
cents, carrying water for the workers
who built the town of Pullman. He
has gotten out of bed at 3 o'clock to
milk fifteen cows on a winters morn
ing. He has put in Is hours day in
store. He is not natural-born plu-
steel worker. He feels that he knows
the needs of those who struggle, but
anyone would be indeed foolish who
failed to see that the waste of time
by carpenter, plumber or other work
CT in turn raised the price of rent,
raised the price of the very clothes
that he himself wore, and everything
used ty him or his fellow-worker.

ing too high there is no question
tut there are scores of industrial
stocks that are selling far below
their intrinsic values. You cannot
say there has been speculation in
United States Steel or Bethlehem
Steel, with their common shares
around $103ea and $94, respectively
United States Steel was considered
cheap when it was selling around SIS
before the war. Since then it has
put back into working capital and
construction the equivalent to $75 or
$50 share.
Bethlehem Steel in five years has
added $3.50 a share to the value OF
it's present outstanding common
stocks, or about 55 points more than
the present market price. To dis
count actual addition to values, Steel
common and Bethlehem Steel com.
mon should both be selling well
above $3.50. There are scores OF
standard stocks that compare favor
ably with United States Steel and
Bethlehem Steel in the matter of
added asset value ana prospects"

Farmers of Bates County Are Invit-
ed to Attend a Meeting at But
Ter, February IS.

a meeting of the farmers of Bate
county is called for February IS at
the court house, at which time the
organization of farm bureau will
be taken UP and discussed. w. H
Baker, assistant emergency demon
strator of the Missouri college OF
agriculture extension course, gives
the following benefits to be derived
bv the different classes of farmers:
To the large farm operator-Be-
cause it is cheap source of reliable
information, acts as labor ex-
change, keeps him in close touch
with other operators, advertises his
successful methods, increases his in
flnence and gives him an opportunity
for public service.
To the small farm operator: Be-
cause it puts him on an equality
with the large owner by helping him
to work out cooperation in bargain
ing and in shipping; enables HIM to
secure needed information about
Soils, crops, live stock, insects, dis
eases, markets and channels of dis
tribution cheaply and promptly;
keeps him in touch with thousands
OF good farmers; enables him to act
/, with others in creating and express
ing effectively, strong farmer pub
tic opinion on questions affecting his
interests, and multiplies his power
many times in all efforts requiring
common action.
To, farmers organizations-Be-
cause it emphasizes problems of or
ganization and cooperation as great
farm problems. %irects public atten-
ton to them. as such, and is active in
promoting, coordinating and unity
ing all organized farmers activities.
II is first of all a get-togetlfcr agency
and encourages and helps existing
organizations instead of competing
with them.
To the general public-Because it
unites the most progressive farmers
in definite program of work in
the interest of the farm business, the
farm home and the country COM
munity, and brings into service all
available forces for the sointion Of
an problems affecting these inter-
ests. The native intelligence. con-
sfrnefive ability and conservative
