IS HAYS ASSENIBL ING A HUNDRED MILLION SLUSH FUND ID USE
 IN CARRYING THE ELECTIONS

In his letter to Chairman Cum mings, MT. Durbin says that under the personal direction of Mir. Hays meetings have been conducted to se- cure money from "big business men Of the state beyond all dreams of avarice," and he considers the treat ment of the 1920 canvass as "a, com mercfal problem to be significant in view of the nations present prosper ity.
 MT. Durbin says that money is be- ing sought to "bring about 3, return to the good old days Of Mark Hanna, when group radical in their views as the radicals of today Of another class, were in control" He notes a similarity in the methods of Hanna and Hays in the summoning of huge
 business and financial interests to support the Republican ticket.
 Then" he says, ''the nation was
 put on the auction block and sold to the highest bidder. There never was so much corruption in any ten na- tionaI campaigns before that time, 9 meaning 1S96, 1900 and 1904" Now
 the same old big interests are being told that the safety of their bus1- ness depends upon the size of their contributions to the Republican sIush
 fund. Then they have held meet ings in Cincinnati, Dayton, CIeve- land, Columbus and In other manu-
 featuring centers. Every big busi- ness representative is helping to gather in the shekeIs.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. "A charge that the Republican manag- CTS already have started to gather an immense sIush fund for the cam paign of 1920, and that it may total $1000OO,O 900 if the present ratio is kept up, has been made by w w Durbin. state chairman of the Ohio Democratic Executive Com nittee in an open letter to Chairman Homer

Thousands of N. E. Children Know That
 Thrift is Power

An intensive thrift campaign is now being carried on in the schools of New England with the hope that such effort will make it possible for the generation to come to redeem the present un- popular belief of the European countries that America is the spendthrift nation of the world.
 Talks on thrift. pantomimes thrift playets and books aimed to teach the children the benefits derived from thrifty living are being used in the schools of New England today to teach the children thrift In many of these schools the teachers devote a period each week to discus sions on Thrift subjects such as How. to Save Money"
 Even today as the result of the National Thrift Campaign children in the schools of the country know that. Thrift is power and that to save is to succeed.

WORK WILL BE JOY AND COAL

Grafflin Sees Industrial Paradise, With Machine Operated By Smoke
 less Women.

Samuel W. Grafflin of New York, told the foremen and plant executives of Bridgeport at the StratfieId last night in the future non-smoking wo- men operating machines would in crease production.
 Now, in this tomorrow, I believe electricity will do most of the work that men are doing and the men will sit down and watch the work. We are only at the edge of this thing now. I believe the day is coming when the miners will go down into the mines and remain there five or six days, coming up into the sunshine only once a week because they will be happy underground.
 You have also got to reckon win the colIege-bred woman, the non- cigarette smoking woman coming into industry. They will operate ma chinery faster because they will not have to lay their cigarette butt down before the lever on the machine is pulled.
 There will also be a new social tnr-r. .-2 Wen ali the cooking will be done by neighborhood ovens oper- ated by electricity. You may won- der at this statement, but when went into the Ward Baking Co.'S fac tories bread was made by the labor of man, but I saw the change come for electricity to take the place ot man so that bread is mixed, kneaded baked and wrapped by the simple method of pressing electric buttons.'

s. Cummings of the Democratic Ma tional Committee.
 The evidence upon which MT. Dur bin bases his charge is g letter sent out from Cincinnati by J. B. Doan, R. K. LeBlond, and Fred A. Geier, each of whom admits contributing 1000 to a preliminary Republican campaign fund as a result of a meet ing there on october 29, which was addressed by Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Commit tee. In a letter dated November 1, the men named state that "a Iarge fund must be obtained immediately largely for the purpose of an educa- tonal campaign" and that fit is not political problem as much as it is a commercial problem,' as 'the exis- tence of your business depends upon having an administration whose at titude will be fair and equitable to all classes of society"
 The result of the meeting at the Cincinnati Business Mems Club were subscriptions totaling SIP. 800 from r men, and meetings have been held in other Ohio manufacturing cities.
 If carried on throughout the na- tiOu-and I am sure it is as Will Hays is doing nothing else nOw-it will proQuce SluSh fund Of SlOO.ODO, 900 with which to buy the 1920 elections and put big business once more in the saddle.

LITTLE TALKS
 ON THRIFT

Are you saving money? You should be- No matter what your present weekly income is, you should be placing a part of it aside for the proverbial rainy day" There are many reasons why one should make every effort to save some oi their money at the present time
 Financial experts have figured that the present value of the American dollar as compared to it's value in 1910 is less than one half of it's original purchasing power. There fore, after the period of re-construc- ton we are now passing through is over, dollars which are only worth approximately 50 cents will return to their par value in purchasing power of $1.00. When one stops to think of this fact it becomes most evident hat saving today pays a. pretty high ate of interest to the man who can lay a few dollars aside.

 Mrs Wilmington also points out the fact that when the children CO., operated in salyagtng junk they help to reduce the fire loss in the country. By cleaning away rubbish from yards, alleys, cellars and attics the chances for a fire in or about the home are much lessened.
