Have You S54. Sc?

It is significant that in the war
period the money in circulation in
the United States has increased
from $35 per capita TO $54 Sc The
explanation for this remarkable
change in less than five years is
found in the fact that the United
States received a billion dollars in
gold from Europe. while Federal Re-
serve notes against Liberty Bonds
have been issued to the amount of
more than another billion dollars;
and during this period the bank de-
posts have been increased more
than three billion dollars by loans
against Liberty Bonds.
In view of these facts it is GER
tain that there can be no reduction
of wages in the near future-and
most certainly not until the cost of
living has subsidized to a point that
reduced payment, for labor will
give the workmen as many of the
necessities and comforts of life as
he is receiving now for a larger
money wage.
The conclusion. even though it
may be an unpleasant one to con-
template, indicates that higher price
levels are here to stay. In the face
of THIS condition we find every pub
lie utility in the United StateAeon-
ducting its affairs on the narfV~est
margin known in its history. Food
is at least rs per cent above what
i: was six years ago. Lighting COM
panies and street railways have
made the very smallest advances
in their charges of any business or
industry; and local Officials have
held up these enterprises on the
ground that they were bound by
franchise arrangements and that
after the war prices will come
down" Nevertheless the readjust.
ment processes show that the re.
suits will be otherwise. 1t is very
reasonable to presume that the
railroads and wire lines restored tC
private management, will 60 into
the markets to make tremendous
purchases of material needed tc
bring their enterprises up to theil
old normal standards.

Lumber Co. Robbed

The office of the North Missouri
Lumber Company at Shelbina was
entered some time Monday night
and the money compartment of the
safe carried away. The burglar or
burglars pried open the Walnut
street doors to the yard. cut the
screen on the rear door to the Office
and unlocked theSscreen door. The
inner door was not locked. The
safe has not been locked since the
knob was blown off by burglars
about two years ago
The drawers inside the safe were
pried out SO that access could be
had to the steel box in which mon
ey is kept Then this was pried out
and carried away. 1t contained
about $40 in money and about $50
in checks.
This box would have to be blown
or cut open with oxy-actylene gas
or key made to fit it.
Indications point to local talent
as knowing the lay of the Office
Exit was made by opening thu
night lock on the front door of tn,
Office.

The Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, one of the oldest fraternal
organizations in the world, and
which has lodges and countless num-
bers of members every rywhere, has Of
ficially gone on record as endorsing
the War Saving Campaign now be-
ing conducted by the Treasury De-
partment.
At the recent joint meeting Of
the Grand Lodge for the state of
Missouri, and the Order of Rebekah
assembly in St. Louis, the represen-
tatives discussed the advantages &C.
cruins to purchasers Of War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps and a re.
solution was unanimously adopted
urging Odd Fellows everywhere to
buy as literally as their means
would permit, of these United Stat es
Government Securities.
Ben Weidle, Grand Secretary,
with the approval of the Grand Mas
ter wrote letter to the officers and
members of each subordinate l. O.
o. F. Lodge in Missouri. enclosing
copy of the War Savings Stamp re-
solution. and supplementine it with
many reasons why the lodge as an
organization and the members as
individuals should participate in
the purchase Of stamps.
Secretary Weidle reviewed the
history of the l. @. o. F. and showed
that in all patriotic movements,
the Odd Fellows had played an i'm
portant part. He showed the neces-
sity for raising the large sums of
money the Government required.
and dwelt on the advantages to the
purchasers.
He urged the safeness of the in
vestment, the safest of all earthly
investments. and said the four per-.
cent interest compounded quarterly.
was higher than could be obtained
on any investment approximating
the United States Government Sc
curities in safety.
