EXPENSIVE USELESS ADVICE.

The proposal to finance a national enterprise
to publish series of home economics bulletins
and circulate them broadcast in the hope that
people will heed the advice given and thus bring
down living costs will not do what its sponsors
think it will. People do not lack advice about
nutritious diet; they have been told over and
over what young folk, old folk, thin folk, fat
folk and medium folk ought to eat; the bal
anced ration has become material for jokes.
People are interested in getting what they want
to eat; what they want to wear; what they need
to run their households as they choose. The
more emphasis is laid synthetic substitutes
for what people want, OH substitutes that will
sustain life but not satisfy its longings, the
more unrest there will be. The good people who
assume that everyone would economic if he or
she knew how, are laboring under delusion
a tremendous majority Of people economic at
the time because they must; they can themselves
write bulletins on how to get along on less than
they think they can. One good economy is to
save the money and labor that goes into circu-
lating useless advice

AS the summer progresses the increasing
number of motor vehicles upon the public high

cannot fail to demand perenptory action. There
is a class of car owners with little mechanical

of their own will and have no qualIns about en-

refugees from war-stricken areas be-
gan streaming into the city about
year ago. and have been coUAng ever
since, hoping TO ind food and places
to sleep. The problem of providing
for them has baffled the city officials.

for schools. Many of these refugees
are women. with children. who have
come out Of the east virtually with
out funds. During the day these
people are partly supplied with food
by the municipality or some of the
welfare organizations. Many exist
only by begging.

by vote OF 9s to 80 decided TO give
UP tho old name and be known here
after as Marquette. Some time ago
the city council of North McGregor
asked for suggestions for new
name. Many were sent in, but the
majority favored the name OF Mar
,quette, because OF the proximity OF
North McGresor TO the scene Of the
discovery OF the upper Mississippi by
Joliet and Marquette. II was pointed
out that no town on the upper river
had been named after the great
priest discoverer and that IL would
be proper to give such recognition
and peculiarly fitting for North Nc
Gregor to hear the name. The coun-
ell approved of the suggestion and
submitted IL 10 vote. The town
was founded by one OF the founders
OF Prairie du Chen.
