The officials Of the Reserve believe

Enrolment in the Boys Working

Increased Outlook for Building
Operations In Baxter
Denotes a Busy
Summer

Some of the people who rarely evei
get away from Military avenue, know
but little Of the industrial activity 60
ing on in Baxter.
An estimate has been made Of the
new modern residences now going up
together with those for which con-
tracts have been let, and the number
is cOnservatively placed at fifty. These
residences are all Of modern type and
are being built and will be occupied
by permanent residents Of Baxter.
One lumber yard q few days ago
supplied the lumber for eight new
residences.
This Is encouraging, and yet 1t does
not meet the demands for four and
five room modern houses to rent. This
matter is handicapping US and should
be taken up by those who have money
to invest in building.

ROUND UP A TROOP OF SCOUTS
By DR.. William A. McKeever, Univer
sity Of Kansas

Mr.. Business Man, If you want Il
do something for your community and
the common welfare, organize troOT
Of Boy Scouts and qualify as its lead
er. The Boy Scout movement is the
greatest thing Of its kind in the his
tory Of the world. Indeed, It Ii the
only form Of effort ever planned with
a view to taking the boy Of the class
and age treated at the point Of his
chief emotional interest and organiz-
ing his life around that.
Now, am anxious to see this move
ment multiply rapidly throughout the
state of Kansas. Already it is sweep
ing the East. Staten Island, N. Y,
has 900 Scouts, Pittsburg, Pa, includ-
ing Allegheny County, has 1000 and
is working for 10000. Kansas should
have 10000 and more.
The dominent interest Of the twelve
year old boy is the call to the wild
to the woods, to the streams, to the
hills, to the caves. Arrange for an
occasional outing of this kind for your
troop and ,yOu may use the school rs
a strong frame work upon which to
build boy character. In the interval
between the campings and outings you
may meet with your troop briefly once
per week and use the proposed trips
as a motive for learning the scout
laws and methods and for binding TO-
gether practically all the most valued
common interests of boyhOOd.
While the; chief immediate interest
of the boy Scout may be the hike and
the camp, he does not think Of these
matters as for their own sake. His
motto is service, and through the act
i've scout membership, he gradually
becomes conscious Of his relation to .
fine form of honor and respectability
and to the various civic and welfare
purposes to which his young life may
give support.
This call is to the minister and the
merchants clerk, the banker and the
baker, alike. The common busy man
is the one upon whom the Scout order
is most dependent for its leadership
However, Scouting is far more than
an appeal to the busy man to render
a service to boys and thus save them
from the vicious influences Of leisure
time idleness and indirectiOn. It is
a grand opportunity for a man to be

GETTING THE SOLDIER HIS
OLD JOB OR A NEW ONE

We can guarantee a job for every
member Of the 35th Division who has
not already q job to return TO-" de-
clares Joseph F. Sarle, manager Of the
soldiers and sailors replacement bu-
reau Of the United States Employ
ment Agency in Kansas City.
This statement is corroborated by
B. o. Taylor, manager Of the Chamber
Of. Commences employment bureau
for returning service men.
Moreover, the work of finding jobs
for the members of the 35th and other
units soon to return home is already
under way. In many cases the jobs
viii be awaiting them when the men
get here.
This is the way II is being done:
While the troops are still abroad they
fill out cards telling each mans Occu-
patton, whether he has job to return
TO and what he wants to do. These
cards are sent back to this country in
advance Of the troops. The cards for
men from this section come to the
United States Employment Agency
here. Meantime the agency receives
o call for say q dozen surveyors,
draughtsmans two electricians and .
printer. Perhaps these calls cannot
be filled from the daily quota Of appli-
cants, but the cards from the S5th
show it contains these skilled workers.
The employers are notified that in a
few days just the men they want will
be here.
There is an excess Of jobs, not Of
men seeking jobs. In the last two
weeks the government agency has
placed 56S returned service men. But
there are nearly fifteen hundred un-
filed jobs listed at the United States
agency's Office. The Chamber Of CON-
merce's employment bureau has been
open only q week, but it is finding
somewhat the same situation.

AMERICANS ARE PROSPEROUS
Victory Liberty Loan Campaign FINDS
People In Excellent Shape 20
Subscribe Literally.

The Victory Liberty Loan campaign
win be started April 21 and 1t VIII
find Americans in all walks or life IN
excellent shape to participate largely
The record of business failures In
the United States for the year 1913
shows that American business men
are In q condition financially to make
large subscriptions to the Loan.
In the twelve months Of 1913 there
were only 1882 failures in the United
States as compared with 1885 IN
1917, 1888 in 1916. and e2,165 In
1915. This shows for 1918 IS per
cent decrease. The total IL the small
est since 1899 when there were 1887
failures. BY reason Of the great In
crease in the number Of business
houses in the country since 1899. the
1918 failures are relatively even much
smaller than then.
And It is worth while to know that
the Tenth Federal Reserve District
was next to the bottom OF the list OF
twelve districts, having the lowest
per cent Of failures.
Farmers everywhere are making the
greatest returns In history. Wheat is
pegged at $2.26 and the Government
is also practically guaranteeing the
price Of hogs and corn.
Among wage earners, despite the
high cost Of living. there is marked
general prosperity. The average year
ly wage Of the United States Steel
Company employee is now $1,574
against $9O5 in 1913. and 1868 in 1902
q 120 per cent increase. The increase
in the last five years is "A per cent
Common labor, receiving $500 a day
before the war, now gets from $3.50
to $500. Skilled men now get on an
average Of from $6 to $40 a day and
q few get as much as SIS q day. In
the Seattle shipyards men are getting
$18 q day.
Railway wages have been advanced
$700,000,000 per annum in the last
year, following a S100,000,000 advance
given by the Adamson law. The fol-
lowing table shows the relative pay
IN 1914 and now, and may be taken az
a minimum of advances in nearly all
fields of employment:
Office boy, per week. s 800 5 1S.4O

In the country farmhands who used
20 be satisfied with $50 month and
board are now, getting $500 a day.
The cost of living has taken up
some Of the gain in wages and profits
everywhere, but there is still hand
some margin left. Now that the Vic
tory Liberty Loan is offered the pub
lie on April 21, Uncle Sam will be
decidedly unwilling to accept any plea
Of inability to subscribe from his pros
