The school authorities Of the
! country were urged to join in the
government campaign to make
thrift a happy national habit in a
telegram sent by Secretary Glass of
! the Treasury Department to the Ma
tional Educational Association in
convention at Chicago. Secretary
Glass asked that the teaching of
thrift be made part Of the school
curriculum during 1919.
The telegram reads as follows:
ITO the members of the National
Educational Association assembled at
Chicago | wish to extend the sincere
appreciation of the Treasury Depart
ment for the assistance rendered by
the members of the teaching pro
fession in the Liberty Loan and War
Savings campaigns during the past
year,
Besides being OF immediate value
in meeting the financial needs of the
government these campaigns have
been of permanent value to the
country in encouraging habits of
wise spending, intelligent saving and
investment. These habits of saving
and patriotism, encouraged and
stimulated by the necessities of the
war will have great permanent
value to the country if applied to its
development in time of peace.
1.-THE teachers of the country by
their daily contact with the children
who are to be its future citizens can
do much to influence them in teach
ing good citizenship and thrift. 1t is
therefore my earnest request that the
school authorities throughout the
country incorporate the teaching Of
hrltt in the school curriculum for
1919.

SAM HACKBERRY SPEAKS.

81 don't explain it but I've dis
covered that next to doing a thing
yourself the surest way of finding out
something is to enquire of the feller
who has something to sell you"
THAT sounds all mixed up" we
countered.
mot half as much as the facts, y
said Uncle Sam.
"You see we hired a county agent
a while back who was supposed to
either know everything about farm
ing, or to go and find out.
"And who was going to redeem our
entire valley from its agricultural
sins.
"And so, when he had got we'll into
his nice seat down at the county
courthouse, up and writ him speel
about some things l wanted to know
about this new tangled farming"
| knew Uncle Sam was sarcastic
then, for there isn't keener, more
up-to-the-minute farmer than he in
the county.
"And so l writ him about what
fertilizer to use, and where to get it,
and how much it would cost.
And about how to put lime on
clover.
"And about phosphate, and how to
dig a ditch with powder
"And what about spraying them
old apple trees of mine that's been
gettin' tireder and tireder every
year until last year they nigh quit
bearing anything but tent cater
pillars, and woody bugs and green
lice and sich.
"And | waited four weeks and
then | got a note from him sayin
that he had writ to Washington re.
garding some of my queries and
when advised by the department
would inform me.
Meanwhile I had writ two fer
tilizer concerns, and four powder
people, and spray pump outfit, and
a lime plant or two and l had enough
books and letters and general mail
matter to start correspondence

"And it all came by return mail at
that.

come back with a dollar sure gives
service, my SON."

Savings And Comfort.

Higher rates of wages paid during
the war have opened to workers the
choice of various new standards OF
action-they cannot all be called
standards of Giving"
The near-sighted have used their
unusual wages to indulge in all sorts
of extravaganza which gave little
real satisfaction and contributed
nothing to permanent family sta
bility. Where they are not harming
themselves, they are cultivating
tastes which they cannot hope per-
manently to crafty.
Others, the far-sighted ones, have
used their increase in wages to i'm
prove their comfort up to the full
efficiency point for themselves and
their families, and are thinking care
fully before they spend their surplus.
Many are investing wisely in homes
or working other well-considered in
Yestment-purchases.
The wisest of all are putting a
large share Of their earnings into
Savings Stamps or savings banks to
provide for necessities that may
arise, and particularly to establish
a turn around" fund that will
enable them to meet more COM
fortably any changes in business or
employment that may result from
post-armistice conditions.

portunities for earning, very serious

WILL AWAKEN PUBLIC
INTEREST.

After March Is, next, virtually
every individual and every industry
will more fully realize what taxation
means. Heretofore its burdens have
rested lightly upon the average
citizen and touched only those with
larger incomes.
Times have changed and it is a
man with a small business indeed
who does not come under the $10OO
or $4,000 exemption clause while the
profits of large business or income
are taken up to as high as 80 per
cent.
Just what the effect on industry
will be, of this heavy taxation, 1t is
hard to say but the general i'm
preston prevails that it will retard
expansion and development to a con-
siderable extent.
One great good should come from
the high taxes necessitated by the
war. the tax problem will be brought
home to every family in America and
as a result there will be a general
demand for economy and eflclent

the Hopi- Wind River ten days to

of the we'll is reported as 2150

Hunters Attention

Comparatively few know how
to care for specimans they wish
to have preserved and mounted.
Many fine specimens are ruined
for mounting because the sports
man does not know the first
steps to be taken in preparing
them for the taxidermist. There.
fore | submit the following:
Skin deer heads while fresh.
Do not cut the throat. split neck
on top from top of shoulder to
point between the ears, thence
to each antler taking skin off
over the head using care around
eyes and mouth. Cut neck skin
long, take off around shoulders,
salt heavily. Remove brain, cut
flesh from skull, salt and ship
promptly. Skins for rugs should
be split down center of belly so
they will open evenly. Save the
skull, small skins from coyote
down may be cased. Salt them.
Animals to be mounted should be
split down belly. flesh removed
from skull and leg bones left
attached to the skin. Salt them,
Smaller animals and birds should
be sent in without skinning, but
should be drawn by the hunter,
using care that they may not be-
come soiled or bloody.

the faculty this week. She is
teaching the fourth grade in the

The members of the girls bas
ket ball squad are practicing

The enrolment is still increas-

Railroad Company Over
charges on Water Rates

Several complaints have come
to our notice this week regarding
the charge by the railroad COM
pany of the old rate for water.
We cannot understand this action
on the part of the railroad COM
pany, in view of the fact, as was
stated in this paper at the time.
the Corporation Commission is
sued an order dated the 18th day
of August, that effective as Of
August 1st our water rates would
be $1.75 minimum for 5000 gal
Ions, and rs cents a 1000 gallons
thereafter. This notice was SER
we'd on us and the railroad COM
pany. but in talking today to Mr..
Fouts, the railroad agent, he in
forms us that he had received
orders from their Auditor to
make no changes in the water
rates until further notice from
him. We are writing Mr.. Belts,
chairman Of the Corporation
Commission, for an explation,
which no doubt we will be able
to give our readers in the next
issue. We would take it that
the railroad company had appeal
ed from this order, but cannot
understand why we have not
been~ notified as City Attorney.
But will say that in case this
order is confirmed the railroad
company will be forced to rebate
the difference in cost to the con-
sumers between the old and new
rates as of August 1st.e

Government Makes
the Railroads Paw

For the first time in many
months the government opera
ton of the railroads showed a
surplus for the month Of July in
stead Of a deficit. Director
General Hines announced that
preliminary figures Of the mon
this business indicated net op-
Grating income of SIT, 900, 900.
After allowing what was due
the railroad companies for rental
the net operating income is about
S2,000,00O, as compared with a
deficit of $22,031, 900 in Feb
ruary, the largest deficit of the
year. The showing for the mon
tn of July goes to prove that the
government is gradually coming
to It's own. 1t is preposterous to
think that the government could
make the railroads pay as long
as these roads were managed by
former presidents and superin-
tendents, men who were absolute
ly against government owner
ship. With the removal of few
more of these from office Uncle
Sam may then expect to make
the railroads pay him the hand
some profits they yielded its for
mer owners.
