Do You Stand the Test?


The manufacturer of a certain food
product advertises that his goods will
stand the test of hot weather because
they are made of the right material.
He means that his goods are as
staple for use in hot weather as in
more moderate temperatures-that
hot weather does not affect them or
break them down. If this we're not
true his product would not have as
wide sale because people do not buy
products which cannot stand weather
tests.
Do you slump in the summer or are
you made of the right material which
stands all the tests?
fyou have quit saving because it is
hot weather, you are not made of the
right material.
War Savings and Thrift Stamps are
available the year around. If you
have been buying them regardless of
the hot weather and vacation time,
next year your vacation will be all
the better because you'll have some
thing substantial to enjoy it on.

The 1919 Dollar in 1924.

Here's thought that may not have
occurred to you in selling Savings
Stamps: Dollars saved now will be
worth half again as much in Eve years.
This is the rather starting statement
of experts in economies who are
studing the present financial condi-
tions of the country. What is meant
is that the buying power of dollar
will be increased by SO much In that
space of time.
At present, conditions are far from
normal, owing to the world wide eff
feets of the war, but all authorities
agree that these abnormal conditions
will gradually disappear and that the
dollars of 1924 viii go much further
as purchasing medium, than the
dollars spent today.
The value of all staples has always
scared Immediately following a war,
but as business conditions readjust
themselves prices will gradually be-
come normal again.
Thus the purchaser of Saving
Stamps may reasonably expect a
much greater return than the interest
allows at the time Of maturity.

were being made by men and women
who are all well known in their own
communities.
"We have only two agents on the
road in this state,n said Col. Sharp,
"and these are campaigners who are
securing local committees to do the
work of collecting. All collections
are being made by prominent citizens
in each community and are being sent
to us through local banks, in order to
protect the people of the state against
imposition.
SIN the past hundreds of dollars
have been taken from towns yearly
by fake collectors who used our name
and uniform to make their collections
and we are instituting the new system
to guard against this. In majority
of instances the fake collectors use all
of the money collected for their own
selves"
"Of course there is nothing to pre-
vent any recognized organization
from making collections for worthy
purpose, but we are asking the poe
Pile and the authorities to be on the
watch for unscrupulous persons who
masquerade under the guise of Sal
vation Army officers to line their own
pockets"

Meat Retailers Big Profits.

The following from the Daily Live
Stock Reporter of August 4th would
indicate that the meat retailers are
getting theirs also. Here is the state
ment:
Is the meat retailer getting his?
Well, rather yes. Send out the s. ..
8. to Congress to make a real inves-
tigation all down the line and see who
is doing most of the profiteering.
On Friday, August |, a representa-
tive of the Reporter personally visit
ed representative meat markets in
the West End of st. Louis and asked
prices on various cuts of beef. One
store was on Pershing, another was on
North Kingshighway. A third butch
er near the corner of Union & Page
avenues evidently smelled a mouse
and fatty refused to give any prices
he was charging that day for beef.
The representative stores visited
charged zoe to 25c pound for plate
or boiling beef. Swift & Co.'s whole
sale market at this point quoted 8 to
121S per pound for plate meat same
day. Gross profit to butcher 100 to
1923 per cent.
On chuck roasts the butchers charg-
ed 25c to 35c pound. Swift & Co.'s
wholesale price chucks same day was
S1s to tic. Butchers gross profit 100
to 1914 per cent.
On rib roasts the butchers charged
30 to 3sc per pound. Swift's whole
sale price on ribs same day was liz
to 2SHc. Butchers gross profit 80 to
100 per cent.
On round steak the butchers charg-
ed 40 to 45c per pound. Swifts
whole price on rounds was 1917 to 2Sc
Butchers gross profit for rounds 60 to
116 per cent.
And bear in mind, good reader
these are not annual profits for the
butcher, but the profit on each days
sales.

EXPENSES OF THE LEGISLATURE

We have received copy Of the Cit
izen's Bulletin, small four page pa
per published at Kansas City, and 1t
seems to be devoted to the interests OF
the people. We do not find in it any
indication of politics.
Under the head of Expenses of the
legislature" we find the following
COMMENT
"The last page of the Bulletin is Civ
en- synopis of the cost Of the
last legislature. The Bulletin invites
the newspaper of the tate to give
wide publicity to the extravagant and
Unnecessary appropriations of the peo-
ple's money by the last Legislature.
"The following notations will be
helpful in understanding the state
ment:--
Il. The number of members of the
House Of Representatives is given as
144. This includes the two members
elected to fill vacancies caused by the
death of two representatives.
!" In the Senate tn eaverage ex,
pense per member for the session was
S7,082.58. The average expense per
House member was $1,904.50.
r3. Some of the clerks were not on
the roll for the entire session. They
were added after it was decided that
the number Of assistant employees was
not sufficient.
"A. The Senate voted its members
$4,000 each for expenses Of their triI
to st. Louis to welcome returning
soldiers. The House members paid
their own expenses.
rs. The average number Of clerks
per Senator was 13. The average
number Of clerks per House member
was 2. n,
8. In the Senate one Page ATTENDED
to the wants of two Senators; in thu
House one Page was errand boy fol
nine members. AS the Senate Chamber
is much smaller than that Of thu
House, its Pages have corresponding
ly lighter work.
"7. Both Senate and House gross
ly exceeded the necessary expenses TO
doorkeepers and assistants. The tota
cost for this service in both house
was $2B,565.86."

Que es esta una practica inter-
