nish $4,000 memorial building to
former service men or the World
War, the building to serve as COM

council>snd the considerable num-
Der of interested visitors who attend
ed the meeting an explanation OF the
architectural features and outlined the
uses to which it would be put. Pur-
est American architecture will be
used in construction and ample room
is provided for every possible use
that various civic organizations may
need.
George Ackley, representing the
board of trustees of the Methodist
church asked the council to consider
the purchase of their church build
ing for the purpose for which the pro-
posed structure is contemplated. His
offer was considered but the senti-
ment prevailed, based upon advices
from Mr.. Field, that it would be al
most impossible to remodel that
building and incorporate in it provis-
ions for the various activities which
will center in the memorial building
The matter was referred to the coun-
ell committee of the memorial build
ing for f,vther investigation. To ex-

unanimously passed the bond ordin-
ance. This was done to prevent de-

COMING
BACK IN STYLE,
MORE PRODUCED
Banks and industries Report
Improved Conditions Due to
Increased Production and
Practice Of Conservation.

Thrift is coming back in style
and not only are consumers begin
ming to inquire into the cost y of
goods before ordering them
wrapped up, but they are actually
saving their money. Omaha banks
are beneht,ng by this movement.
They report noticeable increases in
the numbers OF savings accounts.
Thrift does not necessarily mean
buying less" said an official of the
Omaha National bank" but it does
mean buying more wisely"
Without thrift, he said, we could
never have margin of production
over consumption. Capital fo-
carrying or industrial enterprises
would also disappear.
Production has at least reached a
point where the available supply OF
goods is larger than the demand,
said another prominent bank oftl-
cial. The popular impression that
we are in for a period of lower
prices is probably true, he declared.
THE sacrifices and hardships
borne by everyone during the war
have had the natural result of lead
ing most people to spend extrava-
gantly now that the bars are down.
Some, of course. learned to like
conservation and to keep it up. But
we cannot blame those who under
went a reaction and, with wages
high, bought things that they had
long desired, but which before had
been out of their reach"
Market reports indicate that the
opportunity for saving is becoming
less difficult. Leather has dimin-
ished in price until shoes can be
manufactured for at least ST less.
Sugar is also due for a decline, and
with the accumulation of many
other goods, lower prices all around
are generally believed by some to
Nbe in sight.
Exports have been heavily re-
duced. while imports have more
than doubled in the last six months.
Labor is also more productive and
plentiful. causing an actual over
supply in many industries. One
cause of this loading up has been
the uncertainty of getting purchases
shipped. Fearing that they might
not be able to &c. another order
through promptly. many merchants
are said to have increased the size
of their single orders.

Failure to deliver the goods on its
state socialist program, and bicker-
ings within the inner circle seem to
be the chief reasons the Nopartisan
league is losing its clutch in North
Dakota ..
The millennium it promised is
still dream, and in the more
thickly settled communities, where
arguments can be pumped home the
farmers give signs of growing
skepticism as to the leagues ability
as an economic necromancer.
For one thing, and this is always
important as an influence on senti-
ment,, taxes have gone up. After
all, money could not be raised from
the wind. Again, the state indus
tries which formed the leagues
great panacea are extremely slow IN
materializing. and at that, some of
them seem to contain nip too
much of paragoric. For instance.
the state got an experimental mill
at Drake and the league afterwards,
with a great blare of trumpets,
trumpeted the news it paid the
farmer dime or so more bushel
for his wheat and charged him 10
cents or so less Tor his flour than
