can male aud female, with small
of luxury, would pro-
duce sum far superior to all we
can hope to beg or borrow from all
our friends in Europe. "
This observation OF Franklin has
its application to the building of a
home. A little more industry, a
little more denial Of luxuries, and
one might add. little foresight,
will combine to make home owner
ship reality. One Of the strongest
inducements to the habit OF saving
is having in mind all the time a
definite purpose; and OF all the
definite purposes one might have,
none is more worthy, none souEder
economically and none more pro
motive of happiness and secur ty
than the building of a home,
Many a family struggles through
out it's whole history without dis
covering that all it's troubles are
due to the single fact that it's mem
bers will not so limit their expend
itures as to leave a safe margin be-
tween income and outgo. While
present necessity does not compel
tn. m to do so, they lack the fore
sight to the future necessity that
age and infirmity will force upon
them, The man who today saves
for buying a home does so because
he can look little farther into the
future than the man who goes on
spending all his earning while
living in rented house, and leaves
the culture to take care of ITSELF
He lacks the imagination to pro-
iect himself into the future ten,
fifteen or twenty years, to period
of his life when ownership of home
would afford him the peace and
comfort that no other possession
can give.

Adopt Five Orphans

The drive in the Washburn
Public schools to raise funds
with which to adopt French war
orphans has been very success
ful according to Ia report given
out this morning by City Super
intendent Hutton. Enough

to adopt five children and there
is a good balance on hand and
this will be added to so that the
sixth child can be adopted. The
amounts raised in the schools
we're as follows: Garfield $l2.59,
Lincoln $4O.22, Pioneer $40.91,

OPINIONS or OTHERS
The Drowsy Sleepy Public

Gov. Philip, i'm his biennial mes
sage recommends the abolition of the
State Life Insurance, giving as the
reason Gin substance) that the sleepy
public would not patronize that fund
unsolicited.
For the same reason of the drowsi-
ness of the public it might be stated
the sleepy public let the powerful
special interests fleece and rob them.
The saying Of P. 7. Barnum, seems
to hold good that the more you rob
and humbug the public the better
they like it,,
Therefore it may be good to let in
a little light once in a while, so as to
awake the drowsy public.
Life Insurance on the robbing
Peter to pay Paul plan is nothing
more than gamble, still you will
see people who are strictly opposed
to common gambling, toss up their
dollar and expect something for moth
ing. should their lot become claim,
and expect someone to pay the loss.
If a plan of insurance should be
devised wherein each member would
pay the cost of his insurance and
thereby reduce the cost of Insurance.
to minimum, the public would be
too drowsy to grasp and maintain
such an institution. And the power
full Old Line would soon start a
nation wide conspiracy and employ
every means conceivable to crush
and destroy such competition. If
the State should for the benefit of
it's citizens become competitor to
these special interests, the same foul
means would be employed and our
very State Officials who should serve
US to our best intesests, become
hirelings and supervient to these
special interests, the dictates of
which are that unless tribute is made
to these special interests any other
policy is null and void.
would recommend compulsory
insurance by the state wherein the
benefits will be in accordance to
duration of the policy and con-
tributions made. So each policy
holder will pay according to benefits
derived. And make it unlawful for
any special interests to prey upon
the drowsy, sleepy, public.
Respectfully submitted
VIM. Goedeke.

Have They Forgotten

WHEN war was first declared
and our soldier boys were leav-
ing good jobs to enter the SER
vice of their country in order to
give protection to the home land
and to make the world safe for
democracy, almost every en-
ployer of labor throughout the
country came out with the state.
lnent that the jobs would be
given to the soldier boys upon
their return home.
This sounded good to the
soldier boys at the time and
people generally commended
the attitude of the employer,
but have they forgotten? Hun
dreds of soldier boys are now
returning home from the train
ing camps and hundreds are
walking the streets in search OF
employment which is not now
offered.
Washburn has no complaint to
make of it's smaller institutions
whose managers have offered
work to their former employees
who have returned from the
army and navy, and in this re-
spect we want to commend Alex
Gackowski, of the Ken6eld
Lamoreaux company, who
when asked if he could furnish
employment for soldier boy
who had returned from several
months of hard fighting in
France, replied ''Send the boy
down and if we have no job we
will make a place for him.
Frank Downs of the Washburn
Electric Light and Power Co. is
also to be com mended for he toe
has made room for a returned
soldier boy. Other small EN-
ployers are also to be found in
The same class.
But how about the larger EN-.
ployers of labor in some of the
big cities. Take for instance
the street car companies, the
big milling companies, who have
placed women in charge of jobs
formerly given to men. These
companies are able to employ
female help at lower price
than they could employ men and
consequently they are reluctant
about changing back to men
again. despite their promise $
when the boys were leaving.
Our soldier boys did not hest.
tate when they were offering
their lives that Old Glory might
wave supreme-why should the
employer hesitate about employ.

THE CURIOUS MISTLETOE
Something Like 800 Varieties in the
WorId-Ptnk Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.e

There are about 300 kinds of miStle-
toe in the world, and each variety
grows on the branches of trees and
has little white or pink berries, says
ST. Nicholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
miStlctoc, unlike other plants. gets no
food directly from the ground In
stead, it gets it's nouriShmcnt from the
trees on which it grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
tlctoe is that though it blossoms earl
icr in the year than the tree on which
it grows. yet the little berries do not
riprn before December. Maybe that
Is because it has to steal its food from
the trees. and therefore cannot ripru
early. The very name "miStlctoc"
gives some idea of its inSigniflcnnce.
In the Anglo Saxon language "mist"
means gloom, and IL comes in mid-win-
ter, the gloOmicSt time Of the year.
The gathering of miStlct0c was a
very important ceremony among the
ancient DruidS. About five days after
the new moon they marched in state
ly procession to the forest and raised
an altar Of straw beneath the finest
mistlct0c-bcar!ng oak they could find.
The nrch-Druid would ascend the oak.
and, with jewpled knife, remove the
sacred miStlctOc. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon d white cloth. for, If il portion
of it touched the earth, il was an omen
or misfortune to the land.
