HOME SERVICE.

A report Home Service of the American
Red Cross just issued shows that 3s6,673 fami-
lies of soldiers and sailors still being assisted
through this medium. The service is probably
in touch with more than 100000 families, as only
IS per cent of the home service sections have
been reported.
Grants and loans of money to the amount of
So66.063.75 were made in one month recently.
While this is but a comparatively small part of
home service, money relief in the past fourteen
months has totalled S6,s36, 76O.
During the war the home service cases ran
as high as 100000 at one time. Engaged in this
work were more than 10000 home service work
ers, $4,000 OF whom were volunteers. In ad-
dition to the experienced social workers, more
than 1900 persons were trained in the home SER
vice Institutes maintained by the American Red
Cross throughout the country. Of the 300 chap
tiers engaged in this work, 1900 were in COM
munities with n population OF less than 5000.

Save dollar lis the slogan which is being
translated into savings accounts throughout the
United States, and here in Pensacola the cam
paign has been launched to put money into the
new certificates which are to be the medium for
helping along the good work of making Ameri-
cans thrifty.
One great good that has come out of the world
war has been the incentive to saving which has
floated the five great Liberty Loans and made
a success of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp
campaigns.
The people of America are just beginning to
know what nest egg means; they are just be-
ginning to realize what it is to have "a little
plus" And they like the feeling that it gives of
independence and responsibility.
1t is hardly likely that the United States gov
eminent will issue again at an early date gov
eminent bonds for small amounts, such as were
issued in Liberty loans. But the GER
tificates will take the place of these.
very prosperous woman who has flourish
ing weekly in South Florida recently stated that
she attributed her success to the fact that she
had never had the small change" habit. When
a small child she read story of man who ac-
quired the foundation for great fortune by saw
ing all of his dimes. And she Immediately set
to work to do the same thing.
She told the writer that she never spent dime
she would spend nicke, perhaps, quar-
ter-but every silver dime went into her bank
and many hundreds of dollars have been saved
by her in this way.
In explanation she said: 'It has not been
merely the saving of the dimes, but saving the
dimes mas been check on frittering away small
amounts of money. l believe that this habit of
my childhood, which has been carried into my
adult life, has meant much towards my success"
Many man woman who did not think he
could ever save penny before the war, is now
the proud possessor of hundreds of dollars worth
of bonds and other government certificates And
few who saved for the purchase of bonds and
war savings stamps really made any great sac

There is difference between the penurious

may spend on the essentials.
Saving to the amount of $150,OO0 during the

sum in government certificates would be
mighty strong weapon to keep old Mr.. Hard

THE BEST THERE is.

Conferences between the Republican senators
and the president were resumed yesterday, and
every day this week, with the exception of Sat
urday addresses have been announced, and ex-
temporaneous speeches expected. But, in
spite of the continued attempts of the Republi-
cans to throw monkey-wr in the govern
ment machinery, even the Republican newspa-
pers give the obstructionists small encourage
ment.
They will find that they have wholly mis-
Judged the temper of the American people," de-
clares the Republican Los Angeles Times, which
proclams it's conviction that IF the covenant of
the League of Nations were submitted to ma
tional referendum it would carry by three to
one VOTE" and that united Republican oppo-
sition would be tantamount to party suicide"
The Philadelphia Public Ledger Qnd. Rep.)
says that eff Senators Lodge, Borah and Knox
and their handful of rabid anti-Wilson allies on
the other side of the chamber imagine for a mo-
ment that they are laying sound foundation for
an appeal to the country they are going to have
an unpleasant awakening The Ledger deplores
''the mischief" these senators are doing and ''the
obstacles they deliberately creating" Even
the New York Tribune, leading Republican
newspaper, which has been frank and persis-
tent critic of the League of Nations covenant,
doubts the advisability of the tactics employed.
The fact of the matter is that Republican news
papers are beginning to realize that this is not a
party question: and that the people refuse to take
it as such. 1t is question of the human equa-
ton as all related to world problems, it is some
thing bigger than any party and more important
than any mans opinion. 1t is tremendous fact.
And that fact blots out partisanship. The
country is tired of Lodge and Borah and Knox.
Some of them may be tired of Wilson.
But they are more tired of war than of any,
thing else. They are tired of war and they are
tired of taxes. They know that the League of
Nations will reduce both. 1t may not be as good
a League as Senators Lodge or Borah or Knox
could make it, but it is far better than they or
their conferees have ever made and it is the best
that the United States and France and England
and Italy and the other allies could devise. And
the people do not intend to let three obstruction
lists embittered with the gall of partisanship
throw the world out of plumb again.

COUNCIL FINDS CANNOT CHANCE
 TIME OF NORTH

It is not within the power of municipal council or any other local body to change the time to meet 1 local conditions. The restriction on time changing was called to the attention of the Fairbanks council at a special meeting of that body held last night for the purpose of considering a petition, signed by majority of the businessmen, ask i, ing that the present time, as estab- llished by the federal daylight-saving law, be continued throughout the winter, as has been the practice in the past.
 Investigation disclosed the fact that the petition was in conflict with the federal law, which says that all persons under the jurisdiction of the United States shall be governed by standard time.
 The petition was ordered laid on the table
 The daylight-saving law, recently repealed by Congress, provided that the clocks of the nation be set ahead one hour in March and turned back to correct time on the last Sunday in October, which will be tomorrow.
 As already announced in these columns, the time of the Alaskan Engineering commission will be changed to the correct time Sun day at midnight, and trains oper- ated after that date will move ac- cording to that time, so that any local change, either here or in Fair banks, would result in much con- fusion, as well as constitute a vio- lation of the law.

INDIAN VOTERS WHO SUPPORTED
 WICK ARE O. K.

Testimony taken by Delegate Grigsby recently at Juneau, in the delegate election contest, showed that Judge Wickarsham, who pro- tested against the Indian votes cast lin Southeastern Alaska, had work
 CTS among the Indians and en- deavored to get the Indians 10 vote if they would vote for him. It was shown that John F. Marshall, Judge Wickersham and
 in the presence of Judge Wicker sham, gave sample Wickersham bal
 lots to natives who voted at Ju- neau and Douglas and asked them
 to support Wickersham and get the other natives to do likewise. They were told that there were Wicker sham workers among the Klawock and Hydaburg Indians and predicted that the natives there would vote for Wickersham.
 Natives from the West coast of Prince of Wales island testified
 that Wickersham workers among the Indians were more active than Sul-
 ger workers.
 Wickersham is now trying to have these Indian votes thrown out, though he insists that the votes of the Indians of the far Westward, who can neither read nor write and who still recognize tribal customs,
 should be counted.
 Evidence also disclosed that some Indians did vote for Wickersham. The Cordova Times contains the following account of the testimony taken at that place:
 ''In the hearings held before
 Frank H. Foster last week in the matter of the contested election case of Wickersham versus Grigsby, in volving the seat of the latter as delegate to Congress from Alaska, testimony of most startling char acter was adduced, showing that illegal voting had been indulged in
 at the last election in this city. and that it had apparently been aided and abetted by friends of the con- testant. It was brought out that steamboat men from Interior Alas
 ka, men and women from the Tolo-
 vana, and other residents of the Fourth division. had voted here on
 their way Outside, and, according to the testimony, most of them had voted for Wickersham.
 What is alleged to be a most fragrant violation of the law in the interest of Wickersham was that of

"NO Other Chill
 Tonic EUer GdUe
 Such Satisfaction"
IS HOW OKLAHOMA MAN EN- DORSES SWAMP CHILL AND FEVER TONIC.

Mir. Harve Smith of Haileyville, Okla, tried various chill tonics, but found nothing that equalled Swamp Chill and Fever Tonic. He says this famous remedy never failed to cure his, chills.
 Thousands of others who once suffered from malaria, ague and similar ailments praise Swamp Chill Tonic as strongly as MT. Smith. For 20 years it has been the one never-failing remedy.
 Swamp Chill Tonic acts quickly and surely. It seldom takes more than three days to break up chills, And no purgative has to be taken with 1.-the medicine itself acts gently and agreeably upon the liver and bowels.
 There is no calomel in Swamp Chill Tonic-nothing but purely vegetable ingredients and iron. It is tasteless, and pleasant to take. Numerous physicians prescribe 1t regularly-they know it is the best remedy there is for malaria, ague' fever, colds, grippe, etc.
 Dealers everywhere recommend and sell Swamp Chill Tonic. The price is 60 cents. Try a bottle.

THE UNLUCKY OPAL.

The iridescent beauty of the opal is due to innumerable micro scopic cracks which reflect the light from as many different angles. These tiny cracks. while giving the brilliant and varied coloring so much admired in the stone, render it very easily broken when sub jected to the processes of grinding and polishing.
 The loss thus suffered by jew elers in manipulating these stones gave rise to the popular supersti- tion of i'll luck associated with the opal. Also, an opal may become seriously injured if the wearer hap pens to sit near an open fire, as the stone is composed chiefly of sil- ica and about 10 per cent water, and is disintegrated easily by heat.
 Of all the precious stones the opal is least durable. There still may be seen in royal diadems spec imens of the diamond, ruby, sap phire and emerald whose origin may be traced back to the courts of an clent Biblical days There is nc opal ' however, in existence, that if known tO be g relic of antiquity

AN ANCIENT TRADE.

Centuries ago, before most of the nations now inexistence had been born, interruptions citizens used to shave away thin layers from the edges of coins and keep the metal for themselves. This habit, so prof itable to certain energetic and not especially conscientious people but decidedly unprofitable to the gov ernments concerned, became so strong that the financial experts of ancient times wisely decided to mill the edges of the coins. With the tiny grooves running regularly up and down around the circumference, it was not easy to steal part of the metal; new grooves, as easily cut and as regularly spaced, could not be made except by melting and reminting the piece.
 The practice of milling gold and silver coins is now practically uni versal, but it has not stopped dis honest persons from removing par ticles of gold by the trade known as sweating, which is to shake the coins together in bag Skinning the coin is another device, accom- plished by rubbing the coin on a piece of sharks skin, so that some of the gold comes off.

clamoring for cotton. The demand for cotton goods will be vastly in- creased as a result of the war. They will consume every pound of cotton that the south can possibly produce at a reasonable profit to the producer and the manufacturer: The way of assuring a certainty of larger production is plain. It is left entirely to the manufacturer. If he fails to meet these require ments the increased yield will not be forthcoming, nor will there be any tabilizing of production. It is poor rule that won't work both ways. What is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander. Un- til the manufacturer makes the change the producer will plant his land in food crops, which are more profitable than cotton sold as he has been selling it for the last sixty years"
