TT so happened that the very
 spring morning that Tom liar
 land invented an excuse, to take him into. the main office of the concern for which he worked, to see pretty Donna Daley, that Miss Daw- son, the private secretary, came in calmly wearing beautiful diamond solitaire, which she was not the least backward in showing all the other girls. If this had not happened at just exactly the proper moment, Tom would probably never have known i Donna's great desire for just such a ring.
 For Tom and Donna had been en- gagged only 8 week, and the young man had not ceased to marvel at the wonder of the fact sufntiently to con sider such secondary things as en- gagement rings. To be sure, he had long ago picked out a little ring with a modest blue stone (the color of Don- na's eyes, he thought, which was still

COMMUNITY INTEREST
IN NUMBERING.

The lumber output has recently
been heavily cut by the shuttine
down of number of mills and log.
ging camps. Action of the lumber
men and millmen was necessitated
by the drop of the market through,
out the Orient due to the exchange
situation in Japan and financial
stringency in Japan.
When the lumber industry is
booming, business is good on the
Pacific Coast Any conditions which
prolong inactivity in the industry
automatically reflect on other lines
of activity depending on the lumber
output
The present slump, while only
temporary serves to illustrate the
vital interest many states and COM
munities have in exerting themselves
to help maintain sound economic
conditions encouraging to general in
dustrial development.
Local building activity helps equal
ize the situation.

The same God who laid upon the
children of Israel the injunction to
observe the sanctity of the Sabbath,
proclaimed also the holiness of toll,
and declared that labor is the law
of salvation. In this crucial period
of human history it behooyes us all
to give heed, not to one-seventh of
this commandment only, but to the
six-sevenths with which the Almighty
glorified toll and translated work
into a form of worship.
There is nothing in this command,
ment that we of the present day are
warranted in interpreting as divine
sanction for shorter hours or artifi-
cial restriction of production six
days shalt thou labour''-not six
hours day, MOI, even eight hours
day, but so many hours as may be
required to do all thy work. So long
as production lags behind the needs
OF hungry world, all our work is
not done, and every hour wrested
from the working schedule of the
week is an hour of violence to hu-
mainly and of blasphemy to God.
If the executives, the sales mana
gers, the bookkeepers, the stenograph
ers and the clerks, the advertising
men AMI those of the sales force do
not work with keener sense of tho
obligations that rest upon them-if
those in the high lpaces do not make
their brains more productive, small
license shall they have for casting the
stone of opprobrium at the ignorant, /
the brutal, and the reactionary in the
ranks of organized or unorganized I
physical labor.

COAL BARONS
PASSING THE ]

t'Fpl4NN IHE DUN
The increased price of coal is now
causing the price of gas and electri,
city to advance and public and pri-
vate utility corporations feel the
hardship.
The public was led to believe that
the IA per cent increase in coal min
ers' wages would be absorbed by the
operators of mines but that is not
true.
Coal operators at once began to
bill the public utilities for the IA
per cent wage advance and munich,
pal and private plants met this raise
in miners wages.
In an arbitrary way, this wage
increase is now passed on to the con-
sumner of gas and electricity, and the
"A per cent raise for miners be-
comes a tax on the consumer.
Practically ten per cent of all
coal mined is used to make gas and
electric current But why should
one-tenth of the coal mined pay
the whole bill?
Is 1t not another case of the coal
barons passing the buck to the pub,

Government Savings Organization


San Francisco Federal prosecu
cution of wild cat oil promoters in
New York is a fitting climax to a
campaign which the Savings Divis.
ion of the Treasury Department has
been waging for many months" said
Theodore Hardee, Director of the
Government Savings Organization
for the Twelfth Federal Reserve
District, today
Throughout the. country the
Savings Organization of each Fed
eral Reserve District has spent a
deal of time and effort in an at
tempt to warn the public against los
ing the money they so periodically
s-let the Government during the war
by trading in their Liberty Bonds for
worthless stock.
''Of course l have no information
on the specific prosecutions in the
East" said Hardee. "Our fight in
which we have received the sympath-
ic cooperation of the envisioned
newspaper editors of the country has
been to stem the sale of the ever ris-
ing flood of worthless stocks and Sc.
curities, backed only by eloquent
promises. We have no quarrel with
legitimate industrial securities but
we have quarrel with not only wild
cat oil promoters but the promoters
of all wild cat schemes.
''The Government Savings Organi-
cation, which is a branch of the Saw
ings Division of the Treasurery De-
partment, has two objects-to lay
before the people the fact that their
true interest lies in holding their
Liberty Bonds and investing their
savings in other Government Securi>
ties such as War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates.
I'm my opinion, and 1 think it is
backed by the banking authorities of
the country, the exchange of vast
quantities of Liberty Bonds for
worthless stocks at the behest OF
glib-tongued statesmen has had much
to do with the decline of Liberty
Bond prices. These Liberty Bonds
have been mulcted from the public
by promoters of fake enterprises in
exchange for worthless securities
and have them be thrown upon the
market in order that these unscrupu
lous promoters might get their 7
hands on the cash as quickly as pos.
sible. Many man who has traded
MS bonds for worthless stock is 60 n
ng to rue it soon. n
THE prosecutions in New York
ought to make the holder of Liberty vi
3onds think twice before he lets go al
# them or before he invests his saw he
ngs. b,
My advice to every man and wo- in
IAN when he or she is asked to buy
ny stock is to consult his or her ma
anker first" st.
