The federal reserve board is urging merch-
ants to get their money out Of their goods and
no longer to carry surplus stocks on loans. The
board proposes TO restrict such loans by high
or interest rate. 1t may be that the transition
to lower prices is coming in way that will
work the least hardship to the dealers. The
general public is IN the mood to absorb goods
that are offered at bargain prices. And SO
such retailers who have not waited for hard
times to force price cutting have taken time by
the forelock and are in position to adjust them
selves to the new order without disaster or
serious loss.

Exnression From BIZ. HancocI,.

Mr. Hancock when interviewed last
night following receipt of the forego-

the postoffice department had not no.
titled him Of the nomination OF his
successor. nor did he expect 10 receive
any notice until after the senate's con-
firmation at which time he would have
something TO nnounee not only 70 his
many friends in Pensacola but to those
throughout the Third Congressional
district
Mr.. Hancock added that in any event
he sincerely hoped that his successor
Would prove to be as efficient a post

TO be. and he bespeaks for his sltces-
sor the same splendid spirit Of ce-op-

rious activities for the country's good.
It is an undeniable fact that Mr.
Hancock's record of achievements now
established becomes standard by
which future postmasters in Pensacola

up to his conceptions Of the unofficial
functions Of a postmaster for he has
been truly a leader in the community.
Notwithstanding the strenuousness
of the past few years in maintaining

instability in industry, Mr.. Hancock
believes the organization at the local
postoffice to be second to none in the

Thrift in Industry"
Thrift Day should be everyday
Thrift is the keynote of every bust
ness success-from my experience |
can safely say that the psr'-ing house
industry success has been made by
the practicing of thrift a ground
floor foundation. Every employee is
being educated that thrift is an es-
sential necessity for them to be a
success. When they have thrift in
stilled into their minds, also into
their work, they Immediately become
an asset not only to themselves but
to their company.
"As sideline illustration, all
packers carry a pension fund, deduct
ing three per cent each week from
every employees salary-same is for
their benefit at all times. After serv-
ing their company loyalty for a speci-
fled number of years, they are pen
stoned and retired. This thrift move
exemplifies thrift TO their advantage
should they quit for any good reason
every cent having been deducted from
their salary each week is returned to
them, plus four per cent. If dis
charged for negligence the total de-
Quoted TO him or her-thus giving
nest egg accumulated through the
action Of thrift.
.From an industrial standpoint, I
say thrift is the foundation of sue
cess and this same thrift also applies
to every business, large or small. As
a rule he who practices thrift makes
a respectable citizen, a careful and
safe man, an asset to the city in which
he lives.
Remember the old adage From Lit
tie Acorns Big Trees Grow"-you use
thrift and take care Of the little
acorn's and the trees viii take care
of themselves"

TOO WILL
QUIT SIBERIA

Washington. Jan. p. Official advices
from Toxic received here have indi-
Gated the purpose Of the japanese gov
ernment to follow the example OF the
United states in Withdrawing ifs MIL
tary forces from Siberia. Discussions
in the Japanese press and utteranees
by political leaders have developed that
probably a large majority of the jap
anese people are averse to entering
singlehanded into such a vast enter
prise as the invasion Of Siberia.
All of the other foreign elements
having been withdrawn from Siberia,
there remain now only about 5000
American and perhaps 10000 japanese
troops in addition to the Czecho- -Slo-
vaks whose number has been vaguely
placed at somewhere between 10000
and 10000. II is planned to remove all
of these Czecho- -Slavaks by February
16 and the American troops should
have quit by March 1.

ARE FOR PLUMB
Grand Chief of Locomotive En-
gineers Says Leary Story
Was Absolutely False.

Some weeks aga special story from
John J. Leary, Jr, at Washington said
only the radicals were true to Plumb.
That the plan was dead. the railroad
brotherhoods refusing to have any
things to do with it, s. c. Donaldson,
chief engineer of division 275, Pensa-
cola, clipped the story and forwarded
| it to w. 5. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
for information.
In answer TO Mr.. Donaldson's letter
the grand chief replied as follows:-
Mr. S. c. Donaldson, Chief Engineer,
Division 275,
401 E. Gregory st,
Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sir and Brother: This viii ac-
knowledge your letter of January 6
with clippings attached from the zen
saeola Journal. said clipping entitlod
only radicals true to Plumb. Plan is
dead. Railroad Brotherhoods refusing
to have anything TO do with it."
The statement embodied in this
clipping is absolutely false. Further
more the railroad brotherhoods are
doing everything in their power to
have the Plumb plan for the public
ownership of railroads adopted, and
we believe that it will be adopted.
Thousands of men are joining the
Plumb Plan league every month and
the men joining the Plumb Plan league
are from every walk of life today. not
only the railroad men, but business
men, farmers and others are taking
an interest in the Plumb Plan league
and it is impossible for me to comply
with all the requests that am receiv-
ing here from churches, industrial
bodies, chambers of commerce and
others, to talk on the Plumb plan. The
people not only turn out to hear all
they can about the Plumb plan, but in
addition to this, show their interest by
the intelligent questions that they ask.
You can be very sure that the Plumb
plan for the public ownership of rail-
roads is occupying a great deal Of
thought of the American people today,
and I feel absolutely sure and conf
dent that the Plumb plan for the pub
lie operation and ownership of the
railroads will be the plan that will be
eventually adopted to solve the rail-
road problem.
Yours fraternaly,
w. s. STONE.
