AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 MAKE BUSINESS GOOD
 FOR "SNIPE.SHooTERS"

PARIS.-By no one will the de- parture of the American soldiers from Paris be more keenly felt than by the humble 'megottiers"-the pickers-up of cigar stubs and cigar cite ends. This has been a golden time for them, and Papa Gin quante." who is the recognized boss of the trade and employs some thirty pickers, replies disdainfully when folks grumble to him about the scarcity of tobacco
 There's always tobacco where Americans are," he says. My men follow them up. Fine fellows. They smoke good stuff. and, whats bet ter, they just chew their cigars and throw away half of them. That's where we gather in our little har- vest. The quality of my tobacco has gone up several degrees" and he grinned
 Just now business is fine" he went on. People are beginning to sit outside the cafes again, and my men pick up all the flag ends on the sidewalk. Another squad cleans up the music hall lounges early in the morning. People smoke more than ever"
 Out in the Latin quarter, Papa Cinquante has a drying and sorting shed, where the cigar stubs are cut up and made into pipe mixture, and the cigarette ends are sifted and turned into new smokes. He pays from 85 cents to SIPS pound for the raw material, according to quality" he says.

 LIGHT IN DANCER
 FROM HEAVY STORMS

TOMS RIVER, N. J.-The fam ous light at Barnegat inlet is in danger of being undermined by the Atlantic ocean. engineers report During the recent heavy storms the sea encroached to within 75 feet of the lighthouse.
 The terrific current at the inlet, backed by a powerful sea, has cut into the beach for a considerable distance and unless breakwaters or ietties are constructed, the light. house surely will go down in a heavy storm, engineers say.

 Another instance of labor waiting for the sort of work it wants is offered in the case of contemplated road construction work, Mir. Hun ter said An immense amount of road construction will be done this summer by the county, state and federal governments, he predicted, and said there are 500 to TOO men now in this city, waiting for this work to open to get the sort of employment they desire
 Aside from the big program of road building, there is little con- Istruction work in sight, the en- ployment superintendent said. Few buildings are going up and reclama- ton projects are still in 50 pre- lRninary a state that they afford little prospect of offering employ ment soon, he declared.

7-YEAROlD BOY
 EXPERT BOTAN|ST

SAN JOSE. California has prodigy in 7-year-old Dale Parks, rated and recognized as botanist in California. He specializes in mushrooms and other fungi. His work is represented in the New York ard St. Louis botanical gardens, and the University of California's col lections are the richer on account of him.
 One of the boys proudest posses sions is a letter from a professor in the University of California. ac- knowledging receipt of some rare specimens. commenting and encour- aging him and predicting that he soon will become as expert as his father, H. E. Parks, of this city, recognized authority, who is credited with the discovery of many new varieties of mushrooms in Cali fornia.
 This is the craterellus cornu- copides, a non-edible mushroom, v said Dale to the Associated Press correspondent, to whom he was ex- hibiting his collection. And this is the amanita, poisonous mushroom. You will notice it has a death cup around the root. and this is the hypholoma, and this the edible puff ball. and this the campestris. this the coprinus, this the clavaria and this the polyoporus. which grows on wood. The caprinus is edible.''
 Hold on minute" said the breathless correspondent who was trying to make notes of the names which fell glibly from the lads tongue, ''are you sure you're not making fun of mel"
 The boys mother, who had been listening to the conversation, smiled as Dale put down his microscope and specimen box and walked into txhe next room He returned with several ponderous volumes. Turn ing over the pages, the boy identi- flied every one of the mushrooms he had mentioned.
 E Dale accompanies his father on ali his trips afield. He has his own bag and trowel and his eyes be come "as big as saucers," his mother says. when he occasionally chances on a rare specimen.

SPOKANE, Wash.-With wages from 65 to 70 per cent higher than before the war, the labor situation in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho is in excellent condition, with the supply about equal to the de- mand, it is declared by B. A. Hun ter, superintendent of the federal employment service here. MT. Hun ter, whose office here supplies tim ber workers for the camps and mills in this section, miners for the Occur d'Alent mines, farm laborers for the wheat ranches and workers for construction work and miscellaneous activities, has 1t as part of his dnties to keep in touch with the pulse of the labor market and inform the government of conditions.
 It is only in the woods that there is any disarrangement in the labor market. MT. Hunter said. and this is due, not to a shortage of labor nor a surplus of workers, but rather to the constant strife among rival organizations of mill and timber men. For this reason the turn over" of labor is far in excess of what the conditions in this field justify. he declared.
 The problem of the returning sol dier is not now proving to be any problem at all in this section. Mir. Hunter declared. The worst of this difficulty presented itself several months ago, he said. shortly after the signing of the armistice,- and now has readjusted itself.
 We are having no trouble now in placing all the returning soldiers who are seeking employment" he said. The fact is, few of them are hunting for work Shortly after the signing of the armistice, we were receiving, on the cards we sent to the men from this section re- quests for jobs, with two or three preferences marked. Now these cards are coming back, some of them from France, with the nota- ton across their face, Don't need any help in getting job or Have a job waiting for me
 ''The fact is, that most of the men who are now returning had worked themselves into business somewhere or were skilled in some trade. The man who has regu- lar trade or occupation is never long out of job. It was the high school students and graduates. discharged from the officers training camps shortly after the armistice was sign ed. who presented the problems. Few of these had ever had practical experience of any sort. and yet trey expected to get desirable employ ment at good wages.
 Returning soldiers are being ab. sorbed by the labor market as fast as they get back. For instance, during a recent week we had appli. cations in this office from 35 sol diers for jobs, and placed 32 of them. The week before that. we had 37 applications and placed all of them. besides four others from the preceding week. That, I be.

 Bonds and Savings Stamps
 There were other new measures be side the unusual method of taxation adopted by the United States in meet ing her war cost War savings stamps were an unknown government financial instrument before the war, yet the public is now so well acquainted with them that up to November 1 it had purchased a. total of $S25, ,000, 900, and the sales are now running at the rate of about $10o,O0o,O 900 month.
 The sale of s16,s51. .ss9, ,15O in Liberty bonds also was no small task The offerings were spread out over a, years s time, but in the same period all the world was bidding exorbitant rates for money. To restrain competition in the capital market the government super yised all security offerings and barred those which were not absolutely neces- sary. So successful was this measure that corporate and municipal financing fell off perceptibly, with the result that the fourth Liberty loan-the largest piece Of financing ever attempted-was oyerSubscribed- by near 15 per cent.
 Reserve System Foundation
 Behind the entire war program. how ever, there was an almost impregnable banking structure, for which President Wilson's federal reserve system formed the foundation. Without this new banking system financial chaos could not have been avoided; with it the country has come out of the war in the front rank of nations and well prepared for the new trade era which is to come

WELCOME HOME

The hearts of your own folks go out today In welcome to our soldier boys re- turned. We smiled and cheered the hour you marched away, Though all the while the fire within us burned; The tears were close to laughter when you went, And hopes and fears were fighting in our breasts. But you have come again, wars flood is spent, And those we love and honor are our guests. A welI-known face is missing here and there; Familiar footsteps echo on deaths way. For those who mourn mid gladness, breathe prayer Their boys have not come back with you today. Write down the names in gold upon the roll Of men who paid for US life's high. est toll.

America mcrges from the war redl-or nation, Tn other words. the uaucld balance for the first time in history is au in her favor.
 Whom America entered the war she automatically assumed responsibility as the worlds banker. Creditably to meet and discharge that responsibility she has built up a vast and smooth running financial machine that is now without equal. The hugeness of the -1ms involved made the building of such a machine absolutely necessary. One authority estimates that the aggregate monetary cost Of the war to the allies was s152, 900 000 900.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
THIS IS A WISE MOVE.

The Nashville, Tenn, chief of police ns requested dealers in arms and al kunition of that city to re- fran kom selling arms and ammuni- tion sof @hy kind. He explained that while sshas no reason to apprehend any outbreak of violence in Nashville, the Chicago rioting prompted him to make the request.
 This was 2 move of wisdom, and one that might be emulated in other cities. As matter of fact, the dealer in firearms is under responsi- bility to the public to the extent, at least, that he should seek to ascertain the use to which firearms are to be put. He ought to refuse to make sales if he suspects the purchasers contemplate murder or use of the weapons and ammunition except for sport or for defense of the home, or possibly defense of the person.
