Bad management means waste

Then comes the crash.

EVERY former service man, re-

EVERY former service man, re-
gardless of past experiences or
lack of future hope for government
compensation, should arrange his af-
fairs at once so that he will be able
to consult the Red Cross-Legion
Cleanup Squad when it comes to
Americas October 5, 6 and 7 for the
purpose of making examinations, cut
ting red tape, and getting relief for
men entitled to it. There have been
many unhappy experiences in the past
for ex-service men seeking compensa-
ton to which they were entitled. The
machinery set up by the government
has not worked well in many cases.
But all branches dealing with these
men have now been co-ordinated by
act of congress, and these Cleanup
Squads have been sent out over the
country attempting to make short
cuts in time to secure relief held up
by past defects in organization, and
also to bring relief to every other
man entitled to it, whether he has
applied heretofore or not.
The biggest job of the squad will
not be to make examinations and Sc
cure the relief for the men, but to
get the men before them. And for
that reason members Of the Legion,
the Red Cross and other organizations
and the Times-Recorder now-are
appealing to all ex-service men,
whether they are conscious of war
disabilities or not, to come forward
and consult the sqaud. These people
will be here to serve the ex-service
men, and should be used now.

" how little is being done for our
disabled soldiers In an address at
Cordele Friday night Congressman
Chas. R. Crisp, of Americas, stated
that $700,0O0,OO0 per year is now
being spent by congress for their re-
lief, which is only $50,000,0OO less
than the total expenses of the gov

ment, which was self-sustaining prior
to the world war.
That is something to think about.
The government is not nugrateful,
although it bunaled it's enormous
task at times. The relief is there for
all Sumter county men and the men
of other Georgia counties entitled to
it. The Cleanup squad will help get
it for all.

The calamity that has resulted will

earnest study and an evaluation of
the basic principles upon which in
dustry, commerce and finance are
organized, together with and under

America is rich in natural re-

If we have sufficient wealth of
intelligence and human creative
ability we can put our material
wealth at the service of the human

The function of wealth must be

that interfere with the use of credit

In order to eliminate industrial

dollars. But there practically as
many dollars in existence as ever.
This puzzles a reader. He asks,
"Where have all the dollars gone to?
Who has them?"
Money in circulation for every per-
son in the country was $34.68 in
1913. 1t increased to high point of
$59.48 last November. Now it is
down to about $50.
Yes" you say, "but dollars seem
to be disappearing faster than they
are taken from circulation. Where
do they go?"
Easily answered. Wash a suit of
wooden underwear. 1t shrinks, and
you wonder where the shrinkage has
gone. The wooden garment hasn't
really lost. 1t merely has gotten
tighter.
So with dollars Money, dollars.

When dollars move slowly, we have

there's a boom. Whether you get $52
a month or $52 a day depends on
how fast money is changing hands.
That depends on spending.

Yet capital, measured in terms of
