FULL POCKETS.

The practice of carrying large sums
Of money in ones pockets is called an
economic crime by writer in a finan-
cial magazine. 1t is pointed out that
one of the best ways to increase pro
duction and reduce prices is to empty
ones pockets weekly and to place the
money in bank or invest it so that
it may be an active working factor.
This Is good advice. With wages
larger than ever, more people carry
substantial amounts in their pockets
than they did heretofore. The more
one carries the more he is likely to
spend. The greater the amount of
money hidden in the china closet the
less there will be for use in productive
enterprise. Individual holdings of
loose change" may seem small, but in
the aggregate they reach mammoth
sum, says Cleveland Plain Dealer. For
instance, if each person in America
withheld S2S from the banks or from
Investment in business or industrial
concerns the total would exceed the
value Of all the gold and would be
more than half the currency in circu,
lation in the United States. Consid-
cred in this light, it is not difficult to
estimate the Importance of keeping
ones dollars at work.

It is a difficult matter to make a
child feel that every one has right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. The individual is born with i'm
pulses which lead him to take advan-
tage of others. A child does not
easily take the point of view that
every human being is struggling to
live-is endeavoring to surmouut the
obstacles that lie in the way of his
reaching the goal of life. child
would be helped to gain this point
of view if he could have experience
in his own garden, and observing how
plants struggle to live, how they de-
velop root, branch and leaf systems to
take advantage of the conditions In
their environment how they bend this
way and that in order to avoid OBJ
stacles and fight valiantly to resist
their enemies in order that they may
attain the object for which they ex-
ist. Having attained it, they give up
their life. This view impressed upon
the child day after day and year after
year. as it relates to his plants, will
develop a respect for life such as he
cannot get so well in any other way.

Monday Musical Club
Holds Call Meeting

A few of the mem bers of the
Monday Musical club met Mon day
evening'at the home of their presi-
dent, Mrs. Mary 0. Allen in re-
spouse TO call to discuss the mat
tiers of continuing the club this
season. While all the members
were not present, those who were
there were in favor of the club
work, and it was decided TO have
the opening meeting the first Mon
day night in October.
1t would be regretabl fact
should the Musical club not re-
sumo its work for this winter, as
it afforded great deal of pleasure
to the public last winter, and was
a source of benefit to those who
were taking part in the work. A
club like the Monday Musical club
is a big asset to a town. and Idaho
Springs people appreciate the fact.
It is hoped that the club mem>
bers will take an interest in the
work and accomplish even greater
things than last year. A few good
boosters in the club will mean a
great deal towards its success.

Business men, in fact, everybody in
the United States interested in any
way in the use of lu.lher. says the
Commercial Bulletin of Boston, have
come to realize that something must
be done If America is to remain indie
pendent of outside sources for great
part Of her future supply of lumber.
The thing needed is national forest
policy as being put forward Dy the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation, the American Forestry asso-
citation, and the Association of Wood
Using Industries. Up to the present
time the United States, alone among
civilized nations, has been going along
on hit-or-miss plan in regard to pro
lection Of Its forest resources. 1t is
now clearly realized-the war, high
prices. difficulty of securing supplies
at any prlce-these and other causes
have shown that action Is impera-
tive.
