 LABOR UNREST

Swansea, Wales, Nov. 21.-Labor unrest in America is said here to have benefited Welsh manufacturers. A wave of prosperity is sweeping over Swansea and it's surroundings which residents declare is reminis- cent of "the good old days''-pre- war days when Swansea thrived.
 The factories in the vicinity cannot keep pace with the orders flooding in. Iron, steel and tinpIate works are glutted with orders and through prices have been forced upward through competitive bidding by eager buyers, this is not acting as a de- terrent.
 The Swansea Labor Exchange re- ports there are far fewer persons un- employed now than at any time since the armistice, and the numbers are decreasing weekly.
 Wages on all hands are such as to attract labor-unskilled workers re- ceive $20 to $25 weekly which is ma terially higher than it paid in other localities in England.

OLD FLOGGING

London. July 2S.-The old custom
of fiogging students is still in vogue
in British colleges, whose students
are as old as the average American
college man. The custom is most
followed in the higher class institu-
tions. so that to have been fogged
at school or college is said to be the
mark of an aristocrat.

students should pay damages and be

and some of the stocks, will be al
lowed to lose any of their value be-
cause of the experiment, necessary
one-of government control. If this
country is going to have any good in
vestments, and it certainly is going to
have multitude of them, foreign as
well as domestic among the best will
be the underlying bonds of its great
railroad systems.
Perhaps the anxiety of railroad
stockholders is comparable to the
state of mind of holders of industrial
securities when the first of the excess
profits taxes was agitated. Then
everything was, to use the language
of the street, "Going to hell in a
hand-basket," and in that frame of
mind, holders of industrial shares
sacrificed them and the professional
bears reaped what a good many would
call "illegitimate harvests."
Everybody knows what the in
dustrial stocks have done since the
tax "bogie" and the "scares" over
price fixing, etc., ETC., disappeared,
and it is at least logical to suggest
that the discouraged and frightened
holders of railroad securities will
have similar experiences with prices
within the next few months.
The moral of this talk ought to be
self-evident, but may not be- It is
not to part with railroad securities
at these low levels through fright,
and perhaps one could do no better
with money to invest than to put it in
to the underlying bonds of those of
our railroad systems which have been
capably and honestly managed. Those
bonds never yielded such return as
they do today, and may never again.

This is the Thrift Campaign for

to sensible saving and wise spending,
the selection of sound values in buy

possible through purchasing for cash,

The Thrift Campaign has led the
whole American people to think as
never before.
They have learned to pay the few
extra cents or dollars for a given
article which, perhaps only ten per
cent more in price, assured fifty
per cent addition in wearing quality,
and length of service.
They have learned to discriminate
