THE EXPENSIVE
SOVIET SYSTEM

The operation of nationalized in
dustries in soviet Russia has resulted
in . deficit for the first year Of 49,
900 .000, 900 rubles.
This total is composed of five and
a half billidh for official salaries and
organization expense, fourteen and a
third billion due to production cost
exceeding sale prices and one and =
quarter billion for political measures
found necessary to keep the workers
on their jobs"
The political measures" consisted
mainly in placing armed guards in
factories where the workers were most
inclined to slack or strike.
A little meditation on these facts
should help to disillusion any Ameri-
can workers who have been tempted
to look upon the soviet system ~ 3

Just why any man who is eligible
to membership in this organization

the man who is not eligible it would

ABOUT PAYING DEBrS


Advising q man TO pay his debts is .
gssd deal like telling . fellow that
Il doesn't profit him to get sick. Too
freQusntly the man can no more pay
his debts than he can keep from get
ting ill But the statement is not
true all along the line. There are
too many people who can pay their
debts, but who prefer to use the
money for something else. And that
is exactly why it is good idea to
urge everyone to pay his debts right
now.
Every man in Julesbarg could be
rich today il he had gone in debt
few years ago, provided only that he
had gone into DEB. for something
worth the price then asked for it. If
we'd bought house on credit five
years ago for, say, $4,000, We could
now pay for it in so-called cheap dol
lars and have good many left. Which
means the house is now worth $4,000,
and could be sold for that amount,
leaving US a profit of five thousand.
So is seems to reduce itself to this:
The time to get into debt is when mon
ey is scarce and the time to pay debts
is when money is plentiful. There
is no need to state the fact that al
though little tighter now than it
was year ago money is still plenti-
full, otherwise it would not require
SO much of it to buy any commodity.
And right now the man who pays his
debts is really making money by it.

LET'S BE CAREFUL

There's never Q time but to be
forswarned Is to be forearmed. That
il why we never hesitate to point out
to our townsmen in Julesburg the
sdvisability to starting early to guard
against the dangers Of hot weather.
Fly time is here again, and with 1t
the season of the deadly mosquito.
1t has been proven so often and in
% many sections that the healthiest
communities and the ones in which
the death rate is smallest are those
where the residents give closest at
tention to sanitation. The town where
slop buckets or barrels are left un-
covered for flies to breed and multiply
and carry disease germs directly in
to the homes are the ones in which
the death rate, in summer is greater.
And there is far more sickness in
towns where alleys and vacant lots
are permitted to grow up in weeds,
the best breeding ground the mosquito.
carrier of a dozen varieties of fever,
can possibly find.
By starting early to watch the cess
pools, the garbage cans and alleys
and vacant places it is an easy mat
Ter to keep them in a sanitary con-
dition all through the summer. Once
they are neglected epidemics start
