CLIP YOUR COUPONS

The Saturday Evening Post
gives the following advice:
1t seems that many holders Of
Liberty Bonds are not collectilg Q
the interest when ii falls due. If
it is a small bond the half-yearly
interest is small sum. Perhaps
il does not seem to the holder
worth bothering with. Perhaps he
does not know how to do il.
Every six months an interest
coupon, attached to the bond, falls
due. 1t is as good as money at
any respectable bank. Cut it Off
and hand it in at the bank. Then
put the amount into War Savings
Stamps or into another Liberty
Bond subscription.
We have found bondholders who
failed to clip coupons with the
idea that by letting the government
keep the interest money they were
helping on with the war. but that
is not the way to do it. When In
terest falls due the Treasurer must
hold in readiness a sum sufficient
TO pay it all. BY collecting the in,
terest and investing the proceeds
in stamps you take it of the
Treasurer's hands and clean up the
books.
Take your Liberty Bond invest.
ment seriously. Clip the coupons
when ,hey fall due.

Is IL Needed
The question 90 be considered in
connection with the retention or re-
lection OF this employment service by
the city Is whether the thing is a
benefit 10 FL Paso and worth while
for its citizens. The figures and facts
given above indicate that the bureau
is filling a real need and is giving q
biz service 10 the citizens. working
both ways by serving the employer
and employe. Finding work for these
people IS relieving the city charity
workers Of a large burden II is saw
ing far more than its cost in this line.
Many who were formerly unable TO
work because Of their inability TO
get contact with employers, are now
able 10 get this work. without cnarge,
and thus are not forced 70 seek the
charity they otherwise would need
Serve Transieufs, Too.
Many times we are able 10 serve
transients who are worth while per
sons and yet who have gone broke
in FL Paso and are unable to continue
their journeys. Several Instances OF
this kind have recently been recorded
We are able TO give practical advice
10 artisans and others regarding the
field for their operations, and here
again we render a service which is
valuable TO FL PasO from an adTer-
Using viewpoint
Further statistics show that the
bureau receives SIX CONNIE ncat ons
for service rendered 10 one complaint
that more than 1000 telephone calls
were answered during the first ls
days Of the present month: that more
than 1000 patrons have been fur
nished with help thus far. and that
hundreds Of persons have been given
advice regarding work here and else
where.
The abandonment Of the City En-
ployment bureau would again render
homeless hundreds who now depend
upon IL for their work. and again
would the citizens be forced 20 add
10 their present support OF our char
itv Institutions in order 70 care for
those who had again become unwill-
ing deliuuuents. Again the employer
would be forced TO expend much
energy in finding the services OF men
who are now patrons Of the bureau
and whose work he may obtain
merely by telephoninE the bureau
While the discontinuance OF the
City Employment bureau at this time
would not interfere with the house

Is the city employment bureau
l a worth while institution in e
Paso7
This Is a question which has
aroused some controversy and led 10
quite a bit Of speculation regarding
the real work Of the institution. A
little research work, a little perusal
OF the statistics Of the institution,
will assist materially in forming an
opinion. Here is a fair sample;
During the first 19 working days
OF November, usually considered a
slack time for labor, the following
were aided;
White women seeking work. "a:

How Housewives Benefit

are hired By women for lawn work,
70 cut wood, beat rugs, clean win
dows. floors and for other work
total average OF s. persons are placed
in jobs by the week % by the month
and 1914 by the day for the first 1s
working days in November.
Each OF these persons earned some
thing, and Ia turn spent his or her
money with Fl Paso concerns They
were able 10 earn their own living
rather than 20 be thrown upon char
ity for support Many who are sent
20 work and are reported hired By
the day remain with their employers
IN permanent positions, Of which our
statistics viii make no showing.
The records Of the employment ser
vice show the following average
wages paid women who are hired by

a week; 81 percent received $40
