The Democratic press agents made
a great splurge weeks ago because
the bureau that did Mr.. Wilson's
Greeting cost the United States but
100000. But nothing is said of the
fact that the Democratic Administra-
ton eriminally wasted 4 sum estimat-
ed in excess of $lO0. 100000 of taxpay-
ers' money during 20 months of war.
And what the Creel bureau cost the
United States n lowered prestige can
not be reducted to dollars because of
Creefs lack of sense
Examples could be multiplied indie
finitely of the Administrations keen
eye for a gnatf and biindnss for a
camel and perhaps the most excru-
ciating specimen was when il picked,
to put over the cause of a super
state. An Insignificant peanut politician,

repudiated by T. RS SON as a NAV
erick and encourages the two of them
to drivel about campaign funds and

THET RAMBLIN BUICK BUSS
By PHIL lie NOIR

l amt never owned an auter
An of one Ill pe'er be boss.
Fer I'm jest a common cowboy
With no outfit but my boss
But I've heerd heap o. gassin'
By the bosses in these parts,
Bout the kinds o aufer buses
What's the nearest to thar hearts.
Thar was Lizards an Road-runners
An all breeds o. Crizzly-cats:
An Rattlers an Jack-ribbits.
An a few oil Desert Rats
The all he'd repatashuns
Like a million dollars gold
(lf you listen to them fellers
An bee-lieve the yarns they .old-)
But while they was a-gassin'
Ny OF boss Jest set him tight:
Sort o grinned aroun' the circle
An said as how they might be right
Fer he knew tibet while his neighbor.
He'd bought auters every year.
He he'd kept his good OF Buick.
An for a new one didn't keer-
Every day he'd buicked fences.
Every day he'd druv to town.

Every day fer years tibet Buick
He'd been a labor-chawin' hound
He'd go shoofin' cross the prairie
Fer to brand bunch o. stuff.
Or he'd rope bogged-down heifer-
Wasn't job too tough or rough.
Nope. you couldn't kill thet Buick.
1t was always on the r'ar;
All you did was start and pint 'er
An shed go a-snortin' thar
So thet's why the boss's pony
Has become plumb enyee-uss,
Fer his place has shore been taken
By tibet ramblin' Buick Buss.

planted. The same thought applies to your
condition today and what that condition is
going to be ten or fifteen years from today. A
storage batterey will not create electricity. 1t

What Makes Men Rich?

Contrary to the popular belief the rich are
not becoming richer and the poor poorer. The
great majority of the Well-to-do class today
is not made up of people who had wealth
thrust upon them, SO to speak. Most of our
present day millionaires began poor. They
did not amass their riches through frugal liv-
ing and careful saving alone, but added to
their own earning power THE EARNING
POWER OF MONEY. Few men ever get rich
on a salary alone But the habit of thrift can
be acquired on the smallest salary, and that
habit has made many men rich.
Charles NJ Schwab began his career as a
stake driver. Last year his income was over
$1,OOOOOO. Schwab is not genius Just nor
NAL man with a normal mind who thought
beyond his Job He started from scratch
without pull or favor. Andrew Carnegie
and John d. Rockefeller were poor boys So
was Henry c.. Prick Today they are worth
millions because they put their money to
work for them. The same thing applies to
fully 95 per cent of our own South Bend peo-
pie who are considered wel-to- do. They
made their money by working for it and IN
turn making it work for them. Statistics show
that very, very few men ever became rich by
plunglng.

MAR ON SMUCGLERS
 ON HOLLAND BORDER

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-Smuggling over the Dutch and Dannish frontiers, which the German government had gone to great effort to suppress, again is flourishing Ion a colossal scale" and at some points with the full knowledge and connivance of many government officials, according to reports reaching here. Smugglers are declared to be outbidding the government for the aid of dishonest officials and a ''veritable army of customs officers on the Dor ders have permitted millions of marks worth of tobacco, sigars, cigarettes, coffee and sugar to cross the border duty free within the last few months"
 Flying souadrons of customs officers have been organized by the govern ment to catch the smugglers, who are said to have so thoroughly system atized their operations that customs receipts are rapidly falling back to only on paper
 Fifty thousand pounds of coffee are being smuggled over the border daily at one point, report says. and snug glers everywhere are working with the sympathy and assistance of all dwell CTS along the frontiers.
 Men, women and even children are said to be engaged in this trade. High prices, low wages of customs officials and the depreciated value of the mark is credited as one of the principal causes for the widespread violation ot import and export regulations. The smugglers are described as be- ing so we'll organized and so confident they carry on their business 'by land and wholesale scale, and quite openly

PERMANENT HIGHWAY SYSTEM IS PUBLIC
 UTILITY, DECLARES

The following statement by John c. Veenhuyzen, administrator of the Los Angeles county road department, is timely in view of the Maricopa county pond issue for paved highways to be 5oted on Dec. 31:
 'gThe improvement of public highways is a money investwent. Good roads become a public utility, the same as a railroad, with the general public as stockholders, and no stockholder would be satisfied unless he was sure to get dividends on his investment. Just as every railroad, so has every improved highway, an operative income The only difference is, that whereas the customer of a railroad pays for the privilege of the service rendered and so produces a tangible income, the customer of the improved high way, by not paving for the privi- lege of the use of the highway. re- ceives a bonus the result of re- duced traffic costs.
 A little over a year ago, wrote an article Illustrating the economic value of road improvement The cost of ton mile haul over un- improved roads was then. accord ing to the records of our office, on an average of 9 cents, while the average cost of a ton mile haul over improved roads, was then on an average of 10 cents. These fig ures are higher under present con ditions, but the difference shows up the same that is, 15 cents per ton mile, which is operative income on the investment in the paved road. Likewise. the saving in fuel, lubricants. wear and tear on tires and machine. and saving in time of automobiles operated over paved highways, is conservativelv com puted at 20 cents per mile, which again constitutes operative in come on the paved road. These benefits accrue not only to those who actually use these roads. but to the general public as we'll in lower freight expenses, improved marketing conditions of garden truck, fruit, dairy products, and crops of all kinds. The producer and the consumer both reap the profits. I repeat again, in order to impress it strongly upon the public mind. that the building of good roads is a great public econo- my. It is an investment which pays dividends to which the public is entitled. Therefore, neglecting this opportunity to build good paved roads. Is failing to hatch the goose that laid the golden egg.

Assisted by Mrs. Harry K Shry, wife of the proprietor, he presented gifts to each of the 75 guests in the house. Candy and nuts were not forgotten.
