Dear Editor:
@. E. D..

| am feeling mighty
jolly tonight on Occount of the
Christmas present which | have
bought for my friend, the lady
Of the house. 1t is not an mex
pensive present, but | regard
it as the best bargain | have ever
made. | say this, not from the
standpoint of pleasing the above
mentioned friend, but from the
standpoint of protecting my own
inalienable right to the blessings
of life, liberty end the pursuit of
happiness.
My dear man, what makes me
so happy is that | have banished
the broom from my house. The
broom has been one of the great
est enemies to the human race,
especially married men, that the
world has ever known. With
the broom the lady of the house
slashes recklessly right and left,
hither and thither, and raises
clouds of dust, which are not
only disgusting to my highly
developed esthetic sense but also
expose me to disease germs that
have been accumulating in the
dust for centuries.

Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps Help Support
Idle Workers

One of the reasons the striking
shipyard workers in seven plants
sround San Francisco bay have been
able to hold out for their demand of
eight cents an hour increase is that
collectively they own more than ST.
100000 worth of Liberty Bonds and
about 100000 in War Savings
Stamps. The Liberty Bond and War
Savings Stamps holdings of our men
have certainly stood us in good
stead" said Frank Miller. secretary
Of the San Francisco Iron Trades
Council. When we win our demand
am going to re commend that the
men save that eight cent an hour in
srease and invest it weekly with the
Government in War Savings Stamps
They provide an ideal way for the
workingman to save"
G. A. Farnsworth, associate direc-
or of the War Loan Organization for
he Twelfth Federal Reserve District.
said Secretary Millers figures on
The Liberty Bond holdings and their
Investment in War Savings are con-
'eT'atlVe ana there is no doubt that
hey have aided greatly in enabling
the men to support themselves while
,n strike. The men can borrow the
lace value Of their Liberty Bonds
without sacrificing the bonds and
they can cash in their War Savings
Stamps"

Stamp is the working mans weapon
against hand-to-mouth existence. II

Two Subscribers Write
About the Same Subject,
But from Separate An
giles; Views on the Subject
of Sweeping.
Dear Editor:

| wish to write you about sub
ject that lies very near my heart.
Perhaps what Isay may be means
of helping a large number of my
fellow men solve certain pro-
blems.
| Ibelong to the old bachelor sex.
Like several of our sex, do my
own housekeeping. One of the
greatest disadvantages has been
that | would forget to sweep and
clean things up. The trouble
was that there were no land
marks to go by. | didn't believe
in being persnickety and clean
ing up every day or even every
week. That would be too much
of good thing. You see, | was
afraid | might become bigoted in
my advocacy Of cleanliness. But
while this was good theory, it
turned out bad enough in prac-
tice. AS | didn't sweep every
day, Or every week, | sometimes
forgot all about sweeping for
months at a time. The really
important things of life crowded
out all thought of sweeping. That
made it disagreeable when finally
| did sweep.
| have at last worked oat a sys-
TEN whereby i remember when
to sweep. 1t is like this.
sweep on the day before Christ
mas, the day before Washing
TONS birthday. the day before
the first of April, the day before
the thirtieth of May, the day be-
fore the Fourth of July, and the
day before Thanksgiving day.
1t is the best system | have found.
Of course, it has some disadvan-
tages. For instance, the period
between July 4th and Thanksgiv-
ing day is rather too long. On
the other hand, the period be-
tween Thanksgiving day and
| Christmas is rather too short
But the periods make good
average. It's the best plan
have found. If any of the bach
elors have a better system,
should like to hear from them.
Yours truly
@. E. d.
