gratifying to say that the legitimate
sheepmen are in harmony with the

the trails and do not trespass on
bonafide COW ranches: feel that the

Thrift Against Waste.

There is reported the case Of the
French wife of an Iowa soldier who
suffered nervous collapse because
of her horror at the waste she wit
messed in the home of her husband.
1t is conceivable that woman reared
to practice the thrift that is ascribed
to the French would be appalled, at
the abundance found in the average
American home, though to succumb to
illness because of what she saw would
provide an extreme instance. Ma
practice economy in the use Of food
and to permit nothing to go to waste
finds much in American practices that
might be reformed.
AS a people we have produced in
abundance and naturally we have con-
sumed likewise. We have not felt the
pinch that has forced people Of other
nations to restrict themselves. The
earliest settlers became meat eaters
because the forests were full of game
and meat was easily obtainable. That
practice has continued, though we
have switched from game to the meat
OF domestic animals. However the
war gave us quite shock in that it
taught us that our meat supply was
limited.
Unquestionably there could be
greater frugality in the average home,
The insistent necessity for restrict
ed menu doubtless would show many
wastes that could be eliminated but
because dire circumstance has not
compelled such action, consumption
on Il generous standard, with attend
ant waste, goes on. The time may
come when the American household
will be compelled to practice the fru
gality Of the French, but since that

Starving The Teachers.

The average salary fOr teachers In
s54531 in 1915 to the princely sum of
$6:o64 in 1918. Teachers get little
LEGS than railway messenger boys and
section men. In Chicago elementary
teachers received 1858 less than head
bakers, $500 less than blacksmiths and
$1,133 less than machinfsts. At the
University Of Washington the average
salary Of an instructor, who in most
cases has taken seven years of train
ing after leaving the high school, Is
81 1,648, whereas bricklayers and plas-
terers receive $2,700 for steady work.
OF twelve union trades in Seattle only
the walters, who add to their income
by tips, get less than the instructors
at the university.
1t. Is absured to argue that these
statistics show that the labor is get
ting too much. The more labor gets
the better off the community Is. Econo-
mic progress can be measured in no
other way.
But If bricklayer or plasterer is
entitled to enough to support him and
his family in comfort, SO is the man or
woman who engages in the trying
work Of teaching the young Disre-
gard the prejudice which puts the
white collar above the working shirt.
The white collar is no better than the
working shirt, but where it stands for
useful work well done it Is exactly as
good. The teacher is highly neces-
sary part of the community.
But the public pays its educational
servants starvation wages, which in
duces only two kinds of people to en-
ter the schools as permanent pro-
fession-martyrs and incompetents.
