the club went to the front in hori-

Now that the war is over, the club
has cut the battle part of France
into twenty sectors. Each is being
mapped out and a guide book is be-

Turn Your Own Grindstone.

The way of keeping the streets
clean in old Jerusalem was effective.
Every householder had to sweep be-
fore his own door to the middle Of
the street, says the MarshalltoWn
Times Republican. Yes, it was chore
but it delivered the goods. 1t kept
the streets clean.
There's a strong hint in 1t for you
and me and us. If we start sweep
ing today before our own doors We
can clean the street of the litter of
high living cost. Anyway we can get
rid of lot of it.
You know how it is. SO did that
girl in Longfellow's poem when she
said, why don't you ask for your
self, John?" So did old Miles him
self when he flew up and announced
tlat if a man wants something done
the sure way is to do it himself.
That's the case of the high living
cost, that is, it is big, juicy part of
the case We don't want to do it our
selves. We incline to wait for Geo.
j. Government to do it. And seems
like George j. G.. is about the slow
est moving thing on earth. Always
was.
ITS a question of staying well in
side of our incomes for few weeks,
shutting down on expenditures hard
for few months, working right
along and helping produce the things
we need. If the whole U. S. A. would
start saving and living close for 80
days the prices would come down.
Maybe your prices might come
down? What! you don't want your
prices lowered? Just the other fell
lows? Well, then there's going to be
a mix up. That's one Of the things
that is bothering the government.
1t doesn't know where to begin.
Wherever it raps at the door there's
nobody in. -"
But take this from the sound
thinking leaders Of business and
finance: There's only one way to set
tie this. II pork is too high, doa't
eat pork. If porterhouse steaks run
to SO cents pound, don't buy them
buy boiling meat. If shoes are above
all reason, have the old ones half
soled. Stay inside your income. Go
without something's you want. Six
months of that sort of thing will do
more to equalize and stabilize pros
perity in this country than all the
hurrah that politicians may create.
Make it personal instead of i'm
personal. Look at home. Take stock
of yourself. You bought bonds both
because you wanted to and because
you felt that it was an inescapable
duty. Why not squeeze little now as
you squeezed then?
You can't turn a grindstone both
ways at once. Turn your own grind
stone in the direction you want it
to revolve. It'll be grind but it will
do business. Try it.
