whole and that increased efficiency
resulting In greater productivity is
imperative.

SCREEN THE PORCH

Don't try to pass the summer
without having the back porch well
screened. 1t will cost only a trifle
and along with furnishing cool
workroom for the women folks, it
will prove a fine place for the sum-
mer meals. Then, if care is taken
not to deposit garbage pals and
other waste materials where they
will prove fly attractors, it will be
found that the number of this sum-
mer pests is decreased. There are
few pests more annoying to the
housewife than the insistent house
fly"
To the above clipping the House
Demonstration Agent says, Amen
Flies used to be considered a nui-
sance, but now they are known to be
dangerous pest The cost of screen
ing a back porch may save some
member of the family from serious
spell of illness. Surely every precau-
ton should be taken to guard the
health of the whole family from flies
which have come from nobody knows
waht kind of filth.

the War Savings Organization, just
prior to the organization of a War
Savings Society in tool manufacture
ing plant at Louisiana, Mo. The

Even in blighted Germany. says
the st. Louis Star, the demand is ex-

Jeweler says they may go to $1,000
karat in the near future.
BE that as it may" said another
Jeweler. "it is going to be hard to
convince every man Of the value of
diamonds as an investment. For
popping the question they will al
ways remain eminently the correct
thing.
But with the United States Gov
eminent offering War Savings
Stamps on the terms it is now doing,
and with the Governments guarantee
to pay four percent compounded
quarterly, many millions more are
going to be put into these baby
bonds than in the sparklers."
Diamonds are all right, but the

HOT HEADS TO THE REAR
Omaha Bee) =

The most deplorable part of the
labor unrest breaking out from time
to time into strikes in the feeling of
mutual distrust and often of undis-
guised hostility engendered between
employers and employees. Each side
is kept away from the other by a fear
that the other fellow may put one
over" and no matter what kind of a
proposal is advanced to open the way
for better understanding it is
foredoomed to be rejected without
serious consideration merely because
it comes from the other side.
So many false or disordered reports
are constantly circulated and freely
accepted, so scarce is broad and far
sighted leadership, so willing are
misguided people to follow the pro-
fessional trouble-breeder, so set do all
soon Aecome against yielding any
thing, that once the strike is on, the
disposition to listen to reason or to
respect the rights of the general
public or innocent third parties is
well-nigh lost. The hardest thing
in the world is to make men in this
situation to keep even tempers and
see clearly though it be the very
first requisite.
The hot-heads on both sides should
be sent to the rear.
