January Is, 1921.
Dear Editor Bystander:
According to promise, | shall now
give you the results of the suffering
among the people of Detroit and why.
It is sad to see men and boys on the
streets of that city thinly clad, almost
shoeless with hardly any place to sleep.
Many Of them have been boarding while
at. work and when the works shut down
as they had not saved their money,
they had to get out. Many Of them
spent their noney as fast as they made
it. Hundreds of them bought second
hand cars which required constant re-
pairing. Some had begun to buy homes
and were trying to keep up their pay
ments and live high at the same time.
The shut down worked hardship on
them The churches are doing every
thing they can to help relieve the peo-
pie from suffering. It seems that col
ored people are the. greatest sufferers,
because they are not thoughtful of to-
morrow. We long TO see the time come
when our people, during their prosper
ity, will think Of the rainy day which
is always to come. It matters not how
many bright sunshine days we may
have there are sure to follow dark,
gloomy and rainy ones. If we can live
on SO little during out Of work times

A NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK

scheduled to start always on January
IL. Benjamin franklin s birthday
Don't you think it is about time that
We did decide to observe q NATIONAL
THRIFT WEEK in honor Of Benjamin
Frankfurt
You know he started to work at the
age of Is and worked for more than
60 years thereafter. He died in 1870
at the age of 81 years and months.
While he was always thrifty he was
never stingy or selfish. Nobody need
be stingy or selfish to practice thrift
intelligently and probably.
Benjamin Franklin Is career never
suffered because he was careful with
money.
He made great name for himself, as
printer, publisher, statesman, diplomat,
philosopher, scientist, journalist, econo-
mist, philanthropist and humorist.
If Benjamin Franklin knew what
was going on in this country today he
would be very proud, even though It
has taken 131 years to make us realize
the necessity of learning the great les
son of Thrift as he practiced it.

Cured His Rupture

I was badly ruptured WnIIe 11Ic111s .

my only hope Of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally | got
hold Of something that quickly ana
completely cured me. Years have passed
and the rupture has never returned, al
though I am doing hard work as a car
penter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble, / have nothing

about how you may find complete
cure without operation. If you write to

On Jan. 8 we purchased four dozens

FINE IS PADDY
TWO MILK DEALERS

A fine of SO was imposed on two
milk distributors by Justice o. E.
Anderson yesterday for violating
the city ordinances.
Fred Hynd of South Moline was
distributing milk in bulk and oper-
ating a wagon without a license
plate. The health authorities say
that this is the initial move IN a
campaign to complete the sale of
bottled milk only.
P. F. Colbert of Highland addition
admitted that some of his milk may
have been below the legal stand
ards in total solid requirements,
Mr.. Colbert paid the fine, but ex-
planned that he bought some of bis
milk on faith and may receive a
consignment occasionally that does
not come up to standard. He is
making an investigation, he stated,
to avoid further occurrences of this
nature. Colbert was charged with
selling cream that tested only IA
per cent butterfat.

CAUSES SHARP
WHEAT DECLINE

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Proft taking
by holders together with lack Of
support led to sharp downturns
today in the price Of wheat. More
over, bears made much Of advances
purportihg to sho~ that as yet ac-
tuai damage from the green bug
pest was small. The market raj
lied suddenly on . dispatch from
Paris, Texas, saying the country
was alive with green bugs. but pur-
chasing power soon gave out
again. Opening prices, which
ranged from Nc to SIC lower with
March LIZ to 1.73 and May 1.6sx
were followed by a quick rally and
then by renewal of weakness.
Persistent selling from houses
that had been free buyers at lower
prices continued throughout the
session. The market closed heavy,
3@4Ac net lower, with March II
@71Ac and May, 161sc to 1.62.
Country offerings were q little
larger, prices closing weak, 1Ac
to &c net lower, with May 71Ac
to 71asc.
Corn sympathized with the wheat
declines, but displayed consider
able resisting capacity. Aftel
opening unchanged to INC lover
including May at 71Ac to 72&c
the market fluctuated mostly with.
/ in the initial limits.
Oats paralleled the action oil
corn, starting Nc to &c of, May
46Ac to 46Hc and holding tt
about that range.
Provisions were easy in line with
hogs and grain.

detective agency. Last summer the
station lads figured prominently in
the capture OF q bank bandit. This

was called to Nineteenth avenue to
check grass fire. While engaged
in the fighting Of the fire the fire.
men discovered the register in a
hollow Of the field. It was scorched

machine underwent considerable
rough handling. Clara Weckel,
