PAYING WAGES
THROUGH BANK
ACCOUNT
Manager of English Plant
Tries Out Plan Eliminat-
ing Mad Scramble on
Pay Days.

Not long ago the manager of a big
industrial plant in England saw sew
eral hundred of his employees crowd
ed around the paymaster's window,
drawing their wages. It struck him
that this was not only a waste Of
their time, but it was an undignified
scramble for the money they had
earned. He would not have liked to
get his own salary that way. 1t
seemed as though a more modern
method of paying wages might. be
contrived.
Going back to his office he worked
out a plan that combines dignity,
time saving and thrift. This has
been approved by the company, and
is now optional with employees many
of whom are taking advantage of it.
Instead of asking employees to con-
gregate around the pay window and
wait their turn, they may open a
checking account at any bank Sc
lected by themselves, and the COM
pany deposits wages each week to
the employees credit, in his own bank,
The employee then pays household
bills by check, draws out whatever
cash is needed, and leaves the bal
ance in the bank as savings. The
company makes a further contribu-
ton to his account, representing
about per cent interest on all the
money which he is able to save.
Before the war dollar belonging
to an employee and dollar belong
ing to the employer were seldom on
speaking terms. They represented
two entirely different kinds of money
and had no association with each
other on the employers books, nor
ever combined for team work.
But war finance broke down this
"class consciousness between the
two dollars. When employees bought
Liberty Bonds or pledged themselves
to take d certain number of Thrift
Stamps weekly, the employer volun-
teered to do the accounting, deduct
ing bond payments from wages and
slipping Thrift or War Savings
Stamps into the pay envelopes. This
parties. The wage-earner often saved
money for the first time in his life,
and the employer felt that thrift had
a stabilizing value in his work force.
This was a value worth paying for
and presently the employer was add
ing to the employees savings In the
form of additional interest or a boz
nus. Now the idea is being carried
further, as In this English plan Of
paying wages, extending decent
banking facilities to wage-earners.
For lack of a checking account
hard-earned money is often FILTERED
away, stolen, lost or handed over to
fraud promoters. But any man or
woman who banks money and pays
bills by check, and accumulates saw
ings for investment soon learns to
manage money matters skilfully.
The common distrust of banks dis
appears. The bankers counsel is
sought in matters of investment.
There is an improvement all around.

nouncing to the Democratic voters of
Washington Parish that am can
didate for reelection to the office of
assessor at the coming primary cleo

In presenting myself as candi-
date for your suffrage, | am fully
aware of the Importance of the du-
ties which are incumbent upon the
occupant of this office, and of the
responsibilities attached thereto. For
the past four years have tried
faithfully and honestly to perform
these duties, and under circum-
stances more trying than any of my
predecessors have ever had to con-
tend with. New laws and new sys-
TENS have caused many delays and
annoyances, which the assessor was
powerless to avoid, out at all times
have / tried to the utmost to serve
the interests of the people to the best
of my ability, and whatever mistakes
have been made have not been inten-
tional, but largely due to the chang
ing in the taxing system of the state.
If reelected, l feel that with add
ed experience and familiarity with
the new system many of the delays
and inconvenience will be avoided
and / promise to give to the people
the best service that 1t IS possible to
give-no man can do more. | have
no business or interests which will
interfere with my official duties and,
therefore, feel that l can give you
satisfactory service.
Thanking you one and all for your
support, which is earnestly solicited,

Private Phone Service
for Bogalusa Firemen

Much confusion results from the
use of the fire departments tele-
phone for personal conversation. Par
ties endanger the safety of the city
by using the lines when possible
fire may be unreported for that
cause. AS a result, private tele-
phones have been installed in all the
fire houses that will be used for all
social and business purposes, other
than fire calls. When a fire is to be
reported it should be sent in over the
regular department lines.

Jess Willard was the big man OF
prize-fight circles. His popularity
was assured when he trimmed Jack
Johnson for the title, when the big
black man was gloating over the fact
that he was the big rooster of the
world. Jess defended h;-uself against
all corners for a brief time, and then
laid back upon his laurels. His pop
uIarity began to dim during the war
and his record as an American citi-
zen who did not fight almost caused
the big fight to be declared off. We
present bout was not staged until the
ex-champion had been bought for
500, 900. He is now has-been and
takes his place with the F'itzsimmons,
Corbett and Sullivan class.

juices, given in plentiful supply.
An ideal food which comes next to
milk and eggs in Importance is whole
wheat. 1t may be ground, to crush
the kernels, which is an advantage, or
it may be cooked long and slowly
making a gelatinous mass which is es-
pecially good for breakfast and sup
per food for a. small child. Give 1t
top milk or cream with no sugar.
There is something about the food
that is so appetizing that the child
rarely tires of it. In many homes
where the family like the whole grains
in food they use a small hand mill,
grinding their own breakfast foods
and cereals for breads.
= Cocoa is a good drink for children,
but If given too often they become too
tired of it. Hot milk for drink is well
liked; matted milk for change, and
different cereal coffees, when one is
sure there are no coffee beans put In
for flavor. Coffee and tea, no matter
how much diluted with hot water,
should never be given to children.
Custards, baked, steamed or boiled,
of various fiavors, combined with chOc-
olate or caramel are valuable foods.
Baked apple, potatoes, scraped beef.
milk toast. and cooked cereals of diff
ferent kinds, if cooked for hours to
soften the cellulose, are other foods
of high value.
There is no dessert which is more
wholesome for the child than a well
baked apple. Wash and core 1t
and bake, filling the cavity with sugar !;
a bit of lemon juice and butter added
will improve a fiavorless apple.
