YOU TAKE CARE
OF YOUR BOOTS
AND THEY LAST
Shoes Won't Last Long il You Hurl
Them at Alarm Clock When
1t Rings You Awake.

You can cut the cost of footwear
in half without injuring a single
profiteer if you will just treat your
shoes with kindness, care and con-
sheraton which a good brogan de-
serves.
This cheering news comes from
the federal bureau of chemistry.
While most of the other govern
ment departments are loud on the
track of the profiteer, hoping to
bring down the price of shoes, the
chemists have turned their atten-
ton to the problem of making the
expensive shoes last longer.
These chemists would change
your whole attitude toward your
shoes. The cold Indifference with
which the average man treats
these intimates OF his daily life is
little short of criminal. After walk
ing on then all day. he seldom
gives them a thought at night. but
pitches them into a corner to lie
neglected until morning. If they
get wet, he often puts them on the
radiator and shOrtens their lives
ny allowing them to become hard
and dry He seldom gives them 4
rest or bath or a good massage,
as he should do. Once in a while
he lets a bootblack clean them with
caustic or acid solution, which is
about as good for them as laundry
soap is for the face, and afterward
rub them into a shine, and he does
this solely from motives of vanity
and not for the good of the shoe.
Reform at nnea
But the time is ripe for a great
reform in the relations between
YOU and your shoes. You are be-
coming more acutely conscious o.
your footwear every day. In the
good old days when your shoes
were worth three or four dollars,
you didn't care how far you walk
red, and you went right through
puddles like a boy in a new pair
of redtOp boots. But with a $40
bill tied up in each foot. it's a diff
ferent matter. 1t costs you a nick
ell to travel a block under your
own power. Riding on the street
cars is becoming an economy, and
the constitutional stroll a luxury
that only the rich and the barefoot
can ford.
Every man, woman and child in
this country wears an average Of
three pairs of shoes a year. In
England the average is two and
One-half rairs year. With the
price of shoes soaring higher every
month and the prediction of shoe
dealers that shoes which. sold for
$40 and $15 this summer will sell
for SIS and $50 during the winter,
it is plain to the man in the street
that the shoe item will be an i'm
portant one on the yearly budget.
After several months OF expert
menting the experts have found
that the life of shoes, and, in fact.
all leather articles. can be extend
ed by following simple measures
in caring for the leather. They
have discovered that shoes and
leather properly treated will last
almost twice as long as when rea-
sonable precautions for preserving
the leather are neglected
Do You Oil Yours!
How many people go to the trou-
BILE of oiling their shoes? The num-
Per is small. But it is just a little
thing like oiling the shoes that pro-
longs their lives. According to
these government leather experts,

WHEN AVIATION WAS NEW
Benjamin Franklin Evidently Had
Expectations of Its Value, Though
venturinp No Predictions.

Somebody has been quite naturally
reminded. by events in the air, Of
wha. Benjamin Franklin said to Con-
dorcet about aeronautics 1876 years
ago, In Paris. The French capital
was Just then much interested in the
balloon ascensisns Of the Montgolfier
brothers, perhaps even more excited,
on the smaller scale of the times,
than modern cities over the actual
crossing of the Atlantic, and wher-
ever men came together the future
possibilities of ballooning made an
immediate topic of conversation. Con-
dorces, meeting Franklin, asked him
If he thought an aeronaut would ever
be able to steer his balloon. The
thing is in its infancy" said Frank

outside perceptions to make an i'm
preston on it.
But the young of birds and OF
beasts come into being more or less
fully equipped with faculties, and
instincts, and fore knowledge.
Take a quail, just few days out
of it's shell Let hawk swing down
over the wheat field and every lit
tie bit of feathers will scatter and
squat, and not come to life and
movement until the mother call

If bird and beast ever knew an
Edenic existence where there was
no fear, it vas so long ago that
every trace of it has been wiped out
of their horizon, for every sharp

NAL, the so-called domesticated as
we'll as the wild, is founded on
fear, on an age of tooth and claw.
About the only instinct man
has that resembles this OF the beasts
Is that queer thing called conscience
which makes towards of us all.

WHAT SHALL WE
DO WITH THEM?


The question is, what are we go
ing to do with the women? They are
gaining in political and industrial
power and in numbers.
In England and the United States
the returning soldiers have found
themselves forced out of jobs by wo
men who are efficient
England has a surplus of 1929
900 women Great Britain is wor
ried over the excess of women.
And then their habits are a
cause for worry. Recently in Lon
don two girls going on two weeks
vacation called for 1000 cigarettes
to do them"
Millions of women not only take
mems places in industries and bust
ness but are heavy tobacco users,
causing shortage of tobacco in
the Empire.
Is it not a question of what are
we going to do with them? What are
they going to do to ''us ?"-Man

HOE EoR PLANT WIZARDS

Every time we fight the tangl'
out in our backyard garden we ge
mad
Here are rows and rows of vege
tables that we planted with care
and cultivated. Still they are wiltet
and dwarfed and tired
And here are patches and patch
es of weeds that we didn't plant
and didn't water, and didn't en-
courage, and they are fairly burst
ing their jackets in growing.
! We do not believe that this il
natural. We hold that for too lone
have we been content to consider
the weed a nuisance; and to coddle
and protect and fuss over plant
varieties that were essentially tend
er, and faint hearted, and easily dis
lcouraged.
Science has developed some for
age crops and some small grains
that endure heat and drought, and
even lack of fertility, and make
good where old grass and grain va
rieties would perish.
We have a bunch that by continu-
ed coddling and mothering and hot
house treatment we have weakened
our common garden varieties until
only expert care will nurse them
through an average summer; and
that we could we'll devote some of
our time in developing new varie-
ties that had some of the vitality
and pep of the wild grains and grass
es.
We note the same thing in or
chards. The more you prune and
spray and fertilize and irrigate and
cultivate, the more susceptible your
trees become to pest and fungus
and disease; and if you let up on
your defense for moment your
fine orchard goes to ruin in a tenth
the time an unsprayed, untitled, old
sod orchard would succumb.
Today the apple grower sprays
half dozen times in a season, where
a few years ago one spray was con-
sidered ample.
Meanwhile the wild cherry and
the wild blackberry, and the wild
plum. and the wild nuts thrive; pro-
duce toothsome crops in abundance,
receive no care and are not wor-
ried by either a cold spring, a hot
summer, or scale, fungus, louise, rot

INSTINCT

So far as we can discover there
is mighty little influence that in
stinct or heredity has on human ami
mails.
The child at ten is about what its
home and school environment have
been for the years since birth.
The man of forty is about what
his job, and his education, and his
chosen companions have made Of
him
The woman is about what her mar
riage has made of her
But when it comes to animals, 1t
is different.
The other day we assisted at the
coming to earth of IL pigs.
Three hours after they we're born
they were shakily investigating the
bedding Of the narrowing pen, and
stranger approached. The mother
gave one low note of warning and
every three-hour old pig dropped to
his little tummy and lay motion
less in the bedding.
That was instinct, transmitted
through generations from wild for
bears who had fought for existancS
in the forest
The human baby knows, apparent
ly, nothing at all
It brings over nothing from the
other shore, IL Is helpless and sense
less, and 1t takes days on days for

BANKS FACING RESPONSIBILITY

Never before in history have the
banks of the world welded greater
power or faced bigger responsibility
than they do today.
Before the war, few people really
came in contact with banks, the
great mass of the people consider,
ing them merely for the benefit of
the rich. At the beginning of the
war there we're only about $50, 900
investors Now our billions of dol
lars OF Liberty Bonds are held in
hands of 100000 people, many
of whom have thus been brought in
close contact with bank for the
first time
An investor or a bank depositor is
not likely to be Bolshehvik or a
socialist. The leading banks of the
nation realize that the time is here
to get in closer touch with the great
mass of the people in order that
these people may become acquaint-
ed with banking methods and be
brought to realize that the safety OF
the nation including rich and poor
alike. and not merely the funds of
the rich, depend upon sound bank
ing institutions. Progressive banks
are exerting every effort to teach de
positors that banks exist for pro-
lection and assistance of any worthy
and responsible man or woman and
not merely for a selected few.
The war has given socialism and
more radical movements an impetus
never before thought possible and
working people of foreign countries.
oppressed for centuries have gone
wild with freedom which they do
not understand. In many cases banks
have been pillaged, simply because
they we're supposed to be the deposit
vaults of the rich.
American banks are profiting by
this object lesson. They are endeav
oring to bring the individual laborer
and the capitalist together on com
mon ground by having the funds Of
both in the same bank, thus teach
ing that the bank is for the protec-
ton and assistance Of both. II
The banks themselves face the
great responsibility of educating the
people and thereby consolidating |
their own position with the masses.

NEVADA AS GOLDEN STATE"
From Reports, II Is Not at All I'm
probable She May Become
Thus Known.

When they began to dig out silver
by the ton from the Comstock group
OF mines. Nevada lost it's original
name of 1.-THE Sagebrush State" and
became known to the whole world as
the "Silver State"
But recent developments in the Dr.
vide district seem to indicate another
change of name, for they do say that
the gold is SO thick just little under
the surface that the owners of the
mines refuse to dig lest they be ruined
by the excess profits tax. They just
take out a shovelful from time to
time to pay living expenses, and sit
tight over the hole where they took
1t out till they need a little more.
Possibly, also, these mine owners are

the economic confusion. California

self the Golden state, but even in Ne
vada they are getting ready to de-
mand the belt and title and say they
are going to get it. M
And with all due allowance for new
born enthusiasm and for the pic
turesque way in which prosperous
miners are wont to express them
selves. If a tenth of what is claimed
is true-and it may be-we may ex-
pect the people Of Nevada to change
from the most loyal of silyerites tc
the most determined and irreconcfl-
able gold bugs. Circumstances do al

well. stranger, since you've been
so frank,

The misty cloud of theories,
And tell you where the trouble lies:
II left my dad, his farm, his pillow,
Because my calf became his COW;
left my dad'twas wrong, of course
Because my colt became his horse;
u left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep;
I dropped my hoe and stuck my fcrk
Because my pig became his pork;
The garden truck that | made to
grow
Was his to sell but mine to hoe;
It's not the smoke in the atmosphere
Nor the taste for life that brought
me here;
Please tell the platform, pulpit,
No fear of toll or love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads,
But just the methods of their dads.
