HERES A NEW ONE;
new USE OF verbs

Here is one on the use Of verbs
manufactured out Of nouns, satirized
by z. B.. Hughes IN "The Writer by
a story Of the city boy who wrote his
brother on the farm as follows:
Thursday we autoed out to the Coun-
try Club where We golfed until dark:
Then we trolleyed back to town /
danced until dawn: Then we motored
to the each and Fridayed there"
The brother on the farm promptly
wrote back: Yesterday we buggied to
town and baseballed all the after
noon. Then we went to Ned's and
pokered until morning. Today we
muled out to the cornfield and gee
hawed until rundown. Then We sup
pered and then we piped for a while.
After that we staircased up to. our
room and bedsteaded until; the clock
fived.'' .&. (. #5,sH. = s.9 e..

4 NEW IDEA IN THRIFT.

Thrift means comfort: content
ment.
That is something We all want and
it is something we all strive for, pro-
vided it doesn't involve too much
Immediate inconvenience. We are
willing to practice thrift when it can
be done without too much self-sacri-
flee because we know that by spend
ing less than we earn we are ap-
preaching the pleasant pasture of in
dependence and where no terrors
wait In the shadows Of Efe's sunset.
But representation is the thief Of
time and time is money and all too
many of us are prone to raise our
voices-soprano, tenor and basin
the popular melody, II just can't
save money" Still way down in our
hearts we have a feeling that, under
certain circumstances, we really can
save and that we don't is due more
to the fact that we lack a desirable
method of procedure rather than the
necessary funds.
Realizing this to be true and view
Ing with apprehension the present
day tendency toward wholesale ex-
trayagance, many of the banks of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District are
opening up new avenue for savings
the partial payment plan for the
purchase of United States Treasury
Savings Certificates, the 800 rnatur-
ity value certificates being obtainable
for as low as 50 week.
The plan, which has been tried out
In other parts Of the country, is
meeting with marked success. Ask
your banker about it,

WAGES STILL BEHIND.

Union wage scales average fifty
five per cent higher than in 1913,
and seventeen per cent higher than
in 1918, according to figures made
public by the bureau of labor sta
tistics.
Some employers have said that
rising wage scales have forced up
prices and thus kept pushing the
cost Of living to grander heights.
Even the lowest estimate of the
increase in living costs since 1913
leaves union wages still considerably
behind in the race. which ought at
least put final damper on reckless
statements about high wages being
responsible for high living costs.
Organized workers have been COM
PEELED to struggle to keep wages
somewhere near q advancing prices
in order to maintain living standards.
1t has been a hard fight. 1t is not
ended, by any means.
1t is worth noting that even or
ganized workers have not been able
to keep up with rising prices. What
then Of unorganized workers? Their
lot is hard one, but not nearly as
hard as it would have been if no
workers had been organized to make
the fight, for 1t is common knowl-
edge that rising union wage scales
Invariably force up the wages of I'M
organized workers.
The figures just made public con-
stitute gilt edged demonstration of
the great need Of organization, and
the great value of it.

WHO IS PROFTTEERTNG?

Some retail shoe dealers in New
York make a profit of $500 a pair
on shoes. They pay $3.50 for a pair
that sells to the consumer for $1,000.
Federal Food Administrator VIII
Hams dug up these figures. He
says he found that this $1,000 pair
OF shoes cost $5.4S to make, an in
crease of $1.04 over last fall. The
factory selling price of $3.50 is an
increase of $1.25 over the price last
fall.
These are interesting figures, If
you care for figures along with your
ham and egg sandwich.

= The fortunate people who will get
their tickets soon enough to be
able to get q seat at the Augustana
gymnasium. on March 16. for the
Frieda Hempel concert are also TO
find that besides having an oppor-
tunity of hearing the beautiful art
of Hempel they will also hear one
of the most notable pianists before
the public today. Coenraad V. Bos
is the famous Dutch pianist who
accompanies Madame Hempel and
will also appear in a group OF piano
numbers. He is not only . great
solo performer, but is known as
'the king of accompanies. August
Rodman, another member Of the
Hempel company. will be heard in
flute solo as we'll as accompanist.
He has been first flutist of the Phil
adelphia Symphony orchestra, the
Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, and
the New York symphony.
The program will therefore afford
much wonderful and inspiring art
at prices within the reach Of all
and the Kaabo Shrine is fortunate
in having been able to secure such
an absolutely high class attraction,
for Hempel is one Of the few mod
ern stars to be counted on ones
fingers who can draw a box office
that always has to refuse admit
lance to the later applicants Aft
er all, there are only about dozen
artists in the whole lis. in Amer
ica who can do this everywhere
they go. Last week at Jackson
Vile, Fla, more than SEQ persons
were turned away from the box Of
fee.
Hempel has never been heard in
this locality, therefore be sure to
secure your tickets as soon as the
sale opens to avoid disappointment

port, the Cable Music house, Rock
