Asked about the prospects for industry
in America Mr.. Perkins said:
Just before l left Paris I met thirty
six men OF different businesses who came

business. Why said, don't YOU know

Aren't you afraid to combine on a bust

and 30 did l. But seriously how are we
going to get on with our great big
industries now that the war Ia over when
the Government is saying. You've got
to keep apart; you can't combine?
The answer is that We ought to be big
and broad enough to do business on a
cooperative basis, as we have done dur
ing the war.
And speaking OF cooperation. Indus

Feed the Birds
Rutland News.)

BY feeding the birds in Janaary one
provides ammunition against the mo-
squitos of June, explains Il member of
the Animal Protective league. 1t seems
that birds feed their young on mosqui-
toes, thus destroying great numbers of
the pests. Little natural food is avail
able for birds in the winter except in
the extreme south, and even there less
can be found by them at this season
than in the summer. So when the table
or pantry shelf is cleared of crumbs, if
the contents of the crumb tray are scat
tered outdoors instead of being put in
the garbage can, the birds will ibe
thankful, and will show their gratitude
by saving the foodgiver many a mos
quito bite next summer Mosquitoes
are only one of the many excellent reas-
ons why birds should be fed during
the winter The others are all the
other insects which hamper the pro
duction of the garden, and all pleasures

THE NEED OF THRIFT.

Individual thrift is an absolute nco-
essity if this country is to make any
progress toward reconstruction during
the coming year. For with thrift will
come curtailment of the abnormal

prices to such abnormal levels and at
the same time cutting down production
of necessities. Restricted consumption
example, would liberate thousands Of
highly paid employees for the essential
industries and tend to bring down the
cost of necessities through increased
production.
There is another demand for individ-
nal thrift and accumulation Of capi.
tai. With the assumption Of the tire
mcndous costs of war the government
has imposed the most burdensome taxes
of history. 1t is estimated that the
tax revenues for the fiscal year 1920,
which ends June 80, 1920, will amount
10 $1,000 100000, and the great bulk
of this revenue comes from the sur.
taxes on the larger incomes and from
excess profits taxes on business. Pre-
vious to the war a great proportion OF
this immense sum went into the en-.
largement and Improvement of indus
trial plants and transportation high
ways. The imposition of these taxes
has cut off the former means of expand
ing industry. The great corporations
and the high salaried men can no longe,

The small newspapers which have for
a long time been striving TO crowd their
material into eight pages should not
be the ones to be punished or ordered
to curtail their use of white paper in
contrast to the large newspapers which
were very wasteful during the war
period when news print paper was scarce
and threatening to become scarcer.
Many of the small newspapers could
not crowd into eight pages for six
months of the year without sacrificing
much of their income aud without cur
failing the service to their readers.
Now and then it might he possible to
print six-page paper and not sacri-
fee anything. On the other hand, the
