ONE VALUABLE LESSON

Children are going to have their
childish arguments and their youthful
quarrels, and We must make allowance
for this. But sometimes the fathers
and mothers could teach their chill
dren valuable lesson if they would
sit down and counsel with them and
explain the true value of friendship,
and the value of having good friends.
Explain to them that there isn't q
business man in Julesburg who could
remain in business for very long if it
wasn's for the friendships he has
made. Show them that no matter
where they go or what they may do in
future years, it is going to be impos-
sible for them to put themselves off
from the world, and prove successful.
They must have friends. Then, too,
show them how friends can help in
cases of illness or accident, and how
they can lend "a helping hand when
there is financial barriers to be re-
moved from the path. In other words,
make it plain to them that they can
buy everything in the world worth
having except love and friendship, and
that once good friend is lost money
cannot replace him.
If the children grow up quarrelsome
they are bound to be that way on thru
life. II they learn in early years the
true value of cultivating an agreeable
disposition, they will carry that good

KEEP AT 1T

There is no such thing as an adver-
,ising campaign-either you adver-
tise or you don't advertise. Cam
paigns mean advertising by fits and
starts. They do not produce fin
ished or final effect. You might as
well speak of breathing campaign.
Start breathing campaign now and
then, and let your lungs rest. There
would soon be more of you at rest
than your lungs. Begin an eating
campaign, and then stop eating.
Business men generally are doing
more advertising than they have ever
done before, and they are trying to
give the public more for its money
than it ever before received. They
are also making serious bid for pub
lie interest and public good will. We
have all been scraping our chins ev-
cry morning for years. Would the eff
feet last otherwise Publicity is like
that. 1t is matter of keeping it up
once you have started it. 1t is mat
ter of converting man once and con-
vincing him again. Say it i'll your
home paper-the Grit-Advocate. Then
repeat it again. The human mind
wabbles-keep it wabbling your way.
Advertising will do that when nothing
else can.

WHEN rS NEEDED

The American Legion. in an address
to the public, asks that service men
be given preference in selecting en-
ployes. The Legion says 60O, 900 SER
vice men are idle, many Of them walk
ing the streets, wondering where the
next meal is coming from. In some
states relief laws are operating to fur
nish these men with the necessities of
life, but most states have no such
law.
Congress has delayed action on dis
ability and compensation bills until
they will be too late to prevent suf-
fering this winter. This is a subject
that should be very near every Ameri-
can heart. Such q situation would not
have been tolerated for q minute in
1917 and 1918, and should not be tOl-
Grated now. There is just as strong
reason for the sOlicitude for the ser
vice man today as there was three
years ago, when he was in cantonment.
on transport or in the trenches. If
there's a citizen of Julesburg who can
aid even one of these service men.
NOW is the time he needs it most.

WHAT SERVICE COSTS

We hear a good deal Of talk about
Service" among Julesburg citizens
and often wonder il they realize JUS
what service costs. We wonder il
they realize that service is sort Of al
invisible tax. and that il we insist or
service we must pay that tax. Ac.
cording to n statistician, 81 cents oi
the consumers dollar represents the
cost Of producing the article. IA cents
represents all profits and 10 cents the
cost of service. In other words, u far.
mcr sells pound of beef. on the hoof
nj the stockyards in Chicago, and he
then goes down town to u restaurant
and pays "A dollar for it. This does
not mean. however. that somebody, or
y group of persons is profiting to the
tune of ninety cents. Perhaps no one
has profitcered-the man who sold
the beef paid for service.
OF course he didn't want to kill the
steer and dress it. and keep the meat
on ice, neither did he want to put it
on the end of stick and hang it over
a fire to cook. He wanted to sit down
to a table with linen and silverware
on it; he wanted music from an or
chestra while he was eating, and a
waiter to carry him ice water and to
stand at his side for further orders.
He wanted that thing we call "ser-
vice." and he got it and paid for il.
1t has come to be pretty costly
tax. this service tax, but the Ameri-
can people demand it; they are will

SOCIALlSTIC IDEAS

Many people have been persuaded
by propagandists that the evils of the
times can be cured by other means
than through industry, thrift, and ed
ucation, which in all ages have been
the principal means by which the hu-
man race has advanced.
Such people are responsible for the
undue shortening of hours in many oc-
cupations, which has been done partly
so that there shall be less unemploy-
ment. The result is to make the work
of such trades cost more, thereby re-
ducing the amount that people can
spend in that line, and increasing the
unemployment.
Such people have prompted the
idea that prosperity can be gained
without hard work. This is world
of work, and people must take hold
with their might and do what their
hands find to do. Those who work in
leisurely way, anxious simply not to
do more than they are paid for, make
labor and service more costly and re-
strict the amount of work that the
public can pay for.
These people are also responsible
for the theory that people must re-
ceive wage giving them certain
standard of comfort, regardless of
whether they work well or not This
puts premium on the lazy loafer
and makes it still harder for the pub
lie to pay the price of indolent la
Dor.
The Wilson administration did q
lot to promote these tendencies. The
eNtravagant wages paid in the ship.
yards and war work trades, the inet.
ficiency that developed on the rail
roads under government control, The
influential positions held by men who
entertain radical views, such influ
ences promoted the spread of ideas
that work against the welfare of the
wage earners. The Harding admins
tration is not trying to win easy-go.
ing popularity by such methods. 1t is
much less pleasing to tell people tina,
they must work and work hard anG
save their money, but it is the only
way to get back to prosperity.

THE FoRTY-FOTR HOUR WEEK

Every generous hearted person must
sympathize with the efforts of work
ing people to get reasonable amount
Of leisure. Yet the movement to cut
down working hours may so to de-
structive extremes. The world must
turn out normal production. or COM
modities will be scarce and prices very
high
One reason for the continuance of
prices SO far above the pre-war level.
is that production has been so greatly
cut down by short working week.
Some people think that if the hours
of labor are cut down. the unemployed
could find work. Yet if people are
paid full weeks pay for short
week. it makes prices so high that the
public cannot buy. which tends to in
crease unemployment.
The farmers who are working II
hours day or more. feel that the
factory workers who have an eight
hour day are not doing their share. If.
hSTever.s all classes of people will do
their utmost to maintain a high stan
dard of production, it may be possible
10 maintain prosperity on the basis OF
an Gght-hour day.
The forty-four hour week which is
! demanded in many industries reduces
production so sharply. that it mus,
tend toward high cost commodities. In
( the printing industry. where & deter.
mined effort has been made to secure

cy must be to make printing expen-
sive and to discourage business peo-
pie from buying it. They will get
along without circulars and promotion
stuff that they would otherwise use.
The inevitable result will be that not
so many printers can be hired, and
that work will be irregular.
The desire for Saturday afternoon
half holiday should be gratified when
ever possible. 1t could be had on 4S-
hour week, by working little longer
during the first five days of the week.

\ the biggest conundrum is the

bargains Of uncertain origin7 y
Sooner or later the public al

opinion in favor Of u. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year
than ii ever did.
