Spruce Up Your Plant

The doughboy has come home He's through
picking Germans off the Rhine. He has dis
carded his khakis. With his sixty dollar bonus,
he has been making few improvements in his
personal appearance. A nice new blue suit OF
civies, white shirt, gold chain and a stickpin-
you wouldn't recognize him as the hell-fighter of
the Argonne.
When he was in the army he didn't give
care about his personal appearance. He had mud
three inches thick on his big cowhide army boots,
and his khaki pants had become waterproof
through absorption of French clay. He used to
dress in jiffy. First call, then reveille and he
was toeing the lime.
But now the Yankee doughboy has gone back
to peace basis. He's sprucing up bit. He did
not wait for prices to drop. He wants to be
Irregular feller' now that his job is done.
Business can take tip from the doughboy.
During the war business was dressed in khaki
serviceable enough for the occasion. The en-
phasis was on production output and the output
was increased tremendously. Machinery was op-
Grated at full speed. There was no time to use
paint and varnish And for that matter, paint
and varnish couldn't be got they were needed for
the ships of the navy. And men to do the paint
ing and the vanishing were needed for war work.
But now it's time to spruce up. Business has
made it's sixty-dollar bonus during the war; Let
it spend it on improvements. Roofs have to be
painted Paint them. Prices won't drop. Your
roof will drop first. Business needs new suit of
clothes-buildings have to be remodelled. Do the
work now. Machinery has to be overhaued and
repaired Do it now. If you wait your machin-
cry will require bigger repairs later and it will
cost more, much more. But just now it will help
give work to these 10000 men or more who are
daily being discharged from service. Col. Arthur

Red Tape Absent in Training Disabled Men

There is no red tape to be unravelled in &C
cepting disabled soldiers, sailors and marines as
employees The federal board for vocational edu-
cation is placing, without training being neces-
sary, large number of wounded soldiers The
employer does not obligate himself in any way
by taking these men on his pay roll, except to
give him square deal. Agents of the federal
board watch over the man placed just to see that
the work is suitable to his physical condition and
to his capability workman. No reports from
the employer are required. Courtesy considera-
ton and fairness to the man who did his share
in the great struggle for humanity, is little
enough to ask.

Good Evening
A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE
BY ROY K. MoULTON

A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE
I'm going to let you folks in
On the greatest scheme
That was ever invented.
1t is for the use of those
Who are usually on the lending end
OF financial operations. -~-9 ..-..
l tried it out last night
On an old friend Of mine
And 1t worked beautifully.
I saw him coming on rubber heels
And he had that $40 look.
/ knew what he was going to ask
And pulled long face.
Not dificult thing to do
In these piping times.
And before he opened his mouth
I said sorrowfully,
BILL, want you to lend me ten.
I'm fiatter than a street car wheel.
My rent Is due and everything.
Can you let me have ten, Biu?"
Bill gave me queer look,
And said, sarcastically:
1T l had ten bucks ! wouldn't
Speak to you on the street.
And he faded away-just sort Of
Oozed out of the place.
The secret is this:
When you see 'em coming
Hit 'em first!

when passion has subsidized and more normal
feelings return her people will regain much OF
their material prosperity. A contrite Germany
would hasten such an end more than anything
disc; and if Germany really wishes to recover her
prosperity and re-establish her standing among
nations she must make amends cheerfully and
cultivate the spirit of friendship in all sincerity
rather than the vicious spirit of hate and worship
Of force which wrought here ruin and wrecked
great empire. Germany deliberately threw

cfhnery with results infinitely more disastrous

From purely economic standpoint, the COM
mercal world, though Strengthening itself out,
is more or less topsy turvy. Abnormal conditions
created by war seem to disappear very slowly;
andAour business machinery has not yet had time
to recover from the confusion created by govern
ment, control nor adjust itself to automatic regu-
lation 1t will be some time before government
control is entirely eliminated either here or
abroad In Europe large measure of such regu-
lation will be necessary for many months to come ;
probably until supply catches up with demand
which means much hard work and continued
patience In this country the same holds true,
though in less degree, because we have not felt
the pangs of hunger, and much of the govern
ment regulation had for it's chief end the assist
ance ,of our allies While these unusual condi-
lions last, the law of supply and demand cannot
workw it's usual and beneficent freedom; for
some restraint is needed upon the greed that
profits upon the misfortunes of others; and with
things,as they are the free operation of economic
law is unavoidably suspended or made very ir-
regular Return to the normal must also await
ratification of the peace treaty, which though
signed cannot go into full practical operation
until formally ratified by all the countries con-
cerned. Until our senate ratifies the treaty and
President Wilson proclaims peace the United
States will be technically at war with Germany,
and the trading-with-the act forbidding
commercial intercourse still remains in force;
though it is not beyond the range of possibilities
that partial resumption of trade with Germany
may be permitted before the technical require
ments are complied with
