 Here's your honest man.
 Right here in Houston, recently a man entered the consolidated railway ticket office and purchased a ticket for a child more than five years old. Then he promptly tore the ticket up.
 It developed that woman. accom- panied by a child, departed from HOus- ton within the last few days for city more than 1000 miles away, but did not obtain transportation for the child.
 When the ticket was bought the pur- chaser was asked when the party was going. He replied, "Thcy have already gone"
 Then it developed that the man, con sciepce-stricken at the thought or cheating the railroads out of the cost of n chnd's ticket, decided to follow the old adage, Better late than never'"- Houston Post.

NEW IDEA iN MOTIVE POWER
Vertical Vanes Used In Windmills Forestall Possibility of ldIeness
 in Any Weather.

Europe is facing a serious shortage Q. rurl of a!l kinds. Coal, gas, gaso- line. wood. alcOhOl-ail these fuels are E.au-. The result is that inventors l.yr turned out in force to solve the l.-r.r problem in new ways A French inventor has developed new form of windmill in which vertical vaneS are r-r1. The advantages of this form are said t0 be: puwer--nO matter in what direction the wind is blowing; noise less operation; the windmill does moi have to turn aJout, with consequent loss uf time; there is no danger from strong winds or gales; il develops five times the power derived from usual forms ul windmllls; there is practical ly no up&ccp or operating expense. The builder says that he is ready to undertake the building of such wind mills in all capacities from one-halt to 1,1 horse power and over. The wind u.fW ,s recommended 10 be run in con urc'iOn with uu electric generator and storage battery, so that, when the wind is blowing, electrical energy is stored up for use during the calm weather. However, it is estimated that the windmill can operate in prac- tivally any weather, and but very few idle days are encountered throughout the year, writes Hereward Darlington in Leslie's. This windmill may prove oI ,he greatest practical value to many farmcrs and those desirous of obtain ing power cheaply and easily.

THEY WILL AGAIN HELP

Postmasters Of the United States
have pledged themselves to continue
unremittingly to give their fullest CO.
operation to the success Of the saw
ings movement instituted by the
Treasury Department, according to
news received by the Savings DiVi-
sion Of the Treasury.

National League of Postmasters an
nounced that they would continue 10
act as the principal agents TOR the
sale of Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps as they have done for the las:
three years.
The postmasters took this step,
they announced. because they were
convinced that the economic situation
which faced every citizen demanded
saving, wise buying. wise spending
and safe investment in government
securities, and they voted to encour-
age the Savings Division movement
to the fullest extent by urging invest

WHITE HOUSE VOTES
MAILED TO JERSEY
President and Mrs. Wilson Mark
Ballots And Send To Home
Precinct

Washington, Nov. 2.-The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson voted today in
the Presidential election. They
marked their ballots at the White
House and mailed them to Prince
ton, N. j., where the President here
tofore has gone each election day
to vote.
Nine other ballots also were for
warded to New Jersey today from
the White House, those voting by
mail including Secretary and Mrs.
Tumulty; DR.. Stockton Arson, a
brother of Mr.. Wilson's first wife ;
Charles Sven, the Presidents pri-
vate stenographer, and other attach
es of the White House.
These were the first ballots ever
cast by Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Tu-
multy and they were among the
first of the great arm of women en-
franchised by the nineteenth amend
ment to vote in the 1920 election.
The ballots from New Jersey were
forwarded to the White House early
this week by request.
Preparations were being made to-
day at the executive offices Of the
White House for the receipt Of elec-
tion returns next Tuesday. The
President will be kept informed of
the progress of the counting of the
ballots by means of wires installed
in the executive Offices communica-
ting with the various Democratic
headquarters over the country.
Four years ago the President went
by special train to Princeton to
vote as at that ime it was not pos
sible for him to vote by mail.

SAVINGS SOCIETIES
N PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Gays and Girls Who Did Such Fine
Eyo:H Last Year Soon Will Be
Active Again.

School boys and girls in all parts Of
tl.i5 STATE are reorganizing the say.
i:.ss Societies which did such excellent
wo1k last session, and it is believed
ii.&i even better records will be made
during this school year. In the nine
months of the l919-1920 session more
tnan So,S15,CO0 was invested in Saw
ings Stamps, Thrift Stamps and other
government securities in this diStrice.
In order that thrift in it's various
phases might be taught to greater ad.
vantage this session, Miss Mary G.
Shotwell, director Of the educational
division of the district War Loan Or.
ganization, last summer visited all Of
the summer schools in Maryland, Vir.
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, and was instru.
mental in having regular courses in
practical thrift incorporated in the
curriculum not only in the State sum.
mer schools but in the county schools
and teachers institutes. In all, more
than $50 lessons and demonstrations
in thrift principles were given to up
wards OF 1000 teachers. Many Of
these teachers of them, very
likely-will correlate the thrift idea
with their class work this session.
The savings movement is being con-
Quoted in the schools, and elsewhere,
under the direction of the United
States Treasury Department. Work
and Save" Is one Of the slogans. In
other words, effort Is being made to
make everyone realize-particularly
the boys and girls Of today who wsl
be the men and women of tomorrow
the importance Of increasing produc.
tion, of curtailing waste, OF wise
spending, of systematic saving, and Of
investing in such securities as govern
ment bonds, Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps.
Last session the hundreds OF saw.
ings societies in this State gave ample
evidence Of the patriotism and intelli-
gent endeavor of their members. This
session, with the foundation already
laid and with tho pupils knowing how
to conduct their savings societies and
clubs, a record is anticipated Of which
the State will have good reason to be
proud.

IS EASIER TO DODGE
ELEPHANT THAN FLEA
Troublesome lnsect.Llke Extrava.
sances Which Attack Poeket-Book
When You Are Not Looking.

You can dodge an elephant but you
can't dodge a. flea. You have to swat
the flea. The big financial dangers
that threaten to overwhelm you can be
avoided easily and safely. Unless you
deliberately place yourself in the path
of danger by attempting to get some
thing for nothing, or by speculative
and hazardous investment, or extrava.
gauce, you are not likely to have the
financial life crushed out OF you by
one rush Of disaster.
You can sidestep the charges Of the
elephants of dishonesty, bad judgment
and mismanagementb by buying Liberty
Bonds but you can't sidestep the flea
bites of waste which take q nickel
here and a quarter there and dollar
somewhere else before you can put
your finger on them. Most people can
avoid spending $4,000 for an automo-
bile or $4,000 for a diamond ring but
they cannot resist the 15 cents for
an extra cigar or the 81 for theater
tickets or the nickel for q bag Of pea
nuts. You cannot always dodge II you
have the money in your pockets. II you
let them alone, they will make your
bankroll look as sick as kid with
measles.
The only way to prevent these small
expenditures from making an angry
rush on a $40 bill every week IS to
swat them by putting the bill out Of
reach before they light. The safest
place to put it Is in government saw.
ings securities. Thrift Stamps and
Savings Stamps are safe and profitable
and the greatest protection in tho
world against waste money.

AWARDS OF NAVY
ANNOUNCED SOON
Medals Have Been Sent Forward
Presented in Week.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Th long de-
lay in awarding medals for dis
tinguished war time service in the
navy and marine corps is about to be
ended, it was learned today, at the
navy department. The decorations
which were held up while a naval
board reconsidered the awards after
controversy among naval officers
and a subsequent congressional in
vestigation last winter, have been
mailed to commanding officers of
ship and stations for distribution
either on armistice day. November
II, or armistice Sunday, November
IA.
The medals were forwarded in
sealed packages with instructions
that they were not to be opened un-
til receipt of a general release mes
sage from the department and were
then to be present with appropriate
ceremonies wherever practicable.
The revised list of those to re-
ceive the awards was not made pub
lie and it was said that it would not
he released until the medals were
actually presented.
1t was understood, however, that
since the original list was sent back
to the board headed by Rear Ad-
miral Austin M. Knight for review
and revision, a number of names
had been added. The original list in
cluded 13 persons to receive the
medal of honor while the revised
list it was said provides for 19 to
receive the highest military honor.
The revised list as finally approved
includes the names of more than 400
officers and men who will receive the
distinguished service medal ana
about 1,50O to receive the navy
cross.
The controversy over naval deco
rations was precipitated last winter
by the publication of letter from
Rear Admiral w. S. Sims to Secre-
tary Daniels declining to accept the
distinguished service medal for
which he had been recommended be-
cause of alleged injustice in the
manner of awarding the honors.

IMPORTS OF CANADIAN
WHEAT is INCREASING

Washington, Nov. 2.-1mports OF
Canadian wheat and flour during
the first fifteen days of October
were greater than in any CORES
ponding period in the past seven
years, the federal trade commission
says in a report today to President
Wilson. The report was based on an
investigation ordered by President
Wilson after he had been asked by
the Chicago board of trade to place
an embargo on wheat imports from
Canada.
The commission found that A.
$4,000 bushels of Canadian wheat
and 65,946 barrels of Canadian
flour were shipped into the United
States during the first fifteen days
of last month. This was more than
three times as large as the ship
ments in any October in the past
seven years, according to the report.
