Effective Colorado Plan

"A.
 A few years ago the Colorado Fuel ana Iron company was a storm center of in- dnstrial unrest The whole state in Wnlch the company carries on its principal ousi- ness was disturbed by the incessant tur- mon and violence which centered Tn ana around the properties Of the company. Today these conditions are practically unknown Conferences and co''lpron'fSe have taken the place of strikes ana riots. Management and men are learn- ing to understand and trust each other as partners in a common endeaVor.
 What has brought about change so extraordinary?
 It is generally conceded that MT. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., himself is the nov ing cause. At the darkest hour in the experience of the company, MT. Rocke- feller went to Colorado Up to that time he had been simply name to the work men of the mines and mills. They pie tured him as an oppressor Of the poor. making vast sums from their toi and quite indifferent to their welfare. when he appeared upon the scene they were surprised to discover that he was hu- man being like themselves. He lived among them for a while; went down into the mines and talked with them face to face: visited their homes; ate with them at their tables; danced with their wives and sweethearts.
 Then he met with the men and the mana cement in conference. And in al. address. remarka ole for it's tact, for it's skill and downright courage, he laid be- fore them his plan for solving their mu- tual problems.
 The plan was adopted and has worked well. Indeed it has worked so well that in principle it has been adopted by the Standard Oil company in the east witA even more satisfactory results to both parties in interest
 The plan as developed by experience is in essence a method of continuous per sonal contact and conference between employees and employer for the purpose of discussing and deciding all matters in dispute between them.
 The Colorado plan is simply the demo- cratic principles of representative gov ernment applied to industry. If it had been tried in no other institution but this one it would still' constitute valuable cha nter in industrial evolution.

.F0CH ENJOYING
 FIRST HOLIDAY IN FIVE YEARS Living Simple Life on His Estate Near Brest, Dressed in Tweeds and
 Wearing Cap

Paris. August 33.-(Correspondence of the Associated ess.)-Marshal Foch is enjoying the first holiday he has had Tn i've years. On his estate at Morlaix, near Brest, the generalissimo of the all lied armies is living the simple life, dressed in loose tweeds and wearing a cap. only retaining his leather leggings as reminder of his uniform.
 The marshal is a great lover of hunt ing, and cartridges are thick in the woods of Brittany. But the marshal dis consolately watches them flutter about with impunity. It will not be open sea- son for hunting in France until Septem- Der 15. It was open season for the en- emy for five years. an dthe commander in-chief of the allied armies never missed a day Some newspapers are asking that an exception be made in favor of Foch, one of them adding naively that 'as he has rendered slight service to his country, in ridding 1t of the Germans, he might be allowed to deprive it's woods of few cartridges"
 When it became known that Foch was going to Morlaix, the mayor and city councillors at once made elaborate plans for the reception. They assembled at the house of the mayor and commenced marching down to the station when some one remarked that the hour at which the train was due had passed.
 "It matters not" said the mayor. that Brest train is never on time
 They arrived at the station, however. to find that the train actually had come and gone for 25 minutes. For once it had been on scheduled time General Foch was aboard and he never brooks delay. And now Minister of Railways Claveille has lost a few votes in Nor laix for doing his work too we'll

The Thrift of Snending

| Carl Marshall, in the Thrift Magazine 1 People are just beginning to learn that | thrift is not so much a matter of saving We cannot teach cheId thrift merely ! by getting him to hoard his pennies in a l toy bank. Possibly we might make a | miser of him by that process, but to
 make him thrifty in the best sense of 1 the word we must get him to exercise ! good sense and responsibility in spend ] ing money, instead of smothering his growing soul with the doctrine that the
 mere savings of money is a supreme vir- | tue. 1 The only way for anybody to learn how I to spend money, is to have some prac- | tice in spending 1t. It is not a thing that we can learn from listening to lectures and wise
 maxims.
 l It is a case of learning by doing P and that Is an educational principle that
 has been accepted since the days of
 Pestalozzi Also, like everything else that is effective in education, it must begin in childhood.
 The young person who reaches the age of 16 without having had any ex-
 perience or training in the wise handling
 of money, is most unlikely to become a thrifty man or woman. To the children in most families money is merely something that will help them to various pleasures, such as movies, | candy, ice cream cones or other kinds of treats. Money is to be had, mainly by teasing for it, and the little schem- CTS become very ingenious in worming | it out of father or mother and in "strik- | ing them for it when conditions are propitious. The practice of doling out money to the children by dribbles. when they tease for it, and without holding them to any responsibility in the matter of spend | ing it, is undoubtedly responsible for
 most of the prevalent unthrift among our young people It is quite natural that l this childest attitude toward money should continue even into the period when the young person becomes a money earner on his own account, and often times, into his adult life as well. | The remedy for this resultant of thriftlessness, is very simple, and may
 be applied by any parent who is thought Tul enough and loves his child we'll
 enough to apply it.
 Instead of giving the little folks money l in haphazard fashion and when they tease for it. let them have a stated sum each week, and then insist upon their keeping an account of what is done with every penny.

 Many people do not know that maga-
 zine covers can be made into useful
 household furnishings, such as curtains or portieres with but little trouble and expense. The covers usually contain many brilliant colors and these are the ones that should be used With pair of scissors paste, shellac and some cord you will be able to fashion very pretty beads out of the covers from which you can make the Japanese curtains or DOT tieres.
 Cut off all the white space that may appear on the cover, fold lengthwise and cut into equilateral triangles At the
 bottom part, commence to roll the tri-
 angle around the hat pin. When nearing the end apply a little paste and press
 with the fingers. Slide it off the pin and you will have a pretty, long-shaped bead containing many different colors. Get long piece of wire and string the beads on it. then get some good
 shellac and shellac them. When they have dried string them on strong cord.

The Value of Rest

From the Thrift Magazine.
 Your physician will tell you that when ever possible you should lie down for a little rest each day. To do so will take some of the load off that faithful heart of yours which keeps pumping away without cessation day and night Your physician will explain that when sitting down, as compared with standing. you save your heart nine beats a minute. and that when you lie down you take off an additional six beats. So merely lying down means less pumping to be done. and less wear and tear on the body ( most vital organ.
 It is thrift of time to take few mo- ments each day from the activities of ones work and stretch odt full length. Housewives and others whose work keeps them on their feet . great deal, should sit as much as possible. Increased vital ity and longer lives will result from fol- lowing these simple suggestions.

 l Meanwhile the government food con <
 trol will continue in order that rich
 and poor alike may share in the avail, ! able supplies. Nothing like the hard ships endured during the last two years
 of the war is anticipated because the
 government supervision and distribution will not be so rigorous as when Haig
 army had it's back to the wall. '
 The expense of feeding and fattening | cattle is the factor that will make home grown meat scarce. Hay and oat crops
 are abnormally short. and root yields
 in some parts of the country almost | a failure. Cattle cake which will have to be used more freley. is more eX- pensive than last year
 | The same consideration apply 10 milk. The price for August was fixed at 6S
 cents per gallon to the dairymen and for September at 70 cents. Last winter it
 was 20 cents quart, but higher prices
 are expected the coming winter. | There Is plenty of tea in the country but transportation systems are so out | of joint, dealers say. it will cost more | to handle and distribute it. Bacon prices are rising in America, which make the
 British price higher Port and dock de-

 apathy of labor, controbute to higher prices
 | Nobody is worrying about sugar ex- cept as to price. The sugar commission | has been very active in the general mar
