FIRST HAS
NEW PLAN
PAGE SEVEN
Tho First N,,;o,,I D..

h First National Bank is irving
a very interesting experiment.
Instead of printing the old style
advertisement in The Republican
each week. they have decided TO Dub.
fish interesting little stories. telling
how other people are solving their
money problems.
AS you read these little stories
You will find that some of them are
about o and your plans. But most
OF these little stories will be about
other folks and you will find them
we'll worth reading.
The CASHIER of the bank explained
their new plans by saying: Good
plans will help us all to make more
money The MAI who has the best
way of doing things is the one who
will get along best.
The banker has a chance to see
the methods used by a great maDy
people. If we pass along the good
plans. n point out the bad mes
too, We will certainly help many of
our friends to make more money.
"Of course the bank expects to
gain something too. If a man makes
more money his bank account is sure
to grow larger. We are boosting our
wv bank when We make our service
more helpful to Our friends"
You will find the first one of these
little stories on the last page OF this
issue of The Republican. Don't fail
to read the meach week.

PHRASE IN USE BY ROMANS
Writers Of Ancient Empire First Re-
ferred to the Game OF "Ducks
and brakes"

"Ducks and brakes" an expression
used commonly in connection with
person who Is needless in money or
business matters, has gained wide cir
culation since It was first used among
the Romans.
Minucius Felix sand other ancient
writer's allude to game OF scaling
oyster shells or stones on the water.
If the stone emerged once 1t was said
TO be duck"
England adopted the game and gave
the phrase It's CLAY meaning.
Just when 1t was first applied is not
known, But 1t is we'll used in Henry
Peacham's book, "rhe Worth Of a
Penny" published in London in 1G4I:
81 remember In Queen Eli2abeth's
time a wealthy citizen OF London left
his son mighty estate in money, who,
imagining he should never be able TO
spend It, would usually make ducks
and brakes In the Thames river with
shilling pieces as boys are wont TO
do with titles and oyster shells. And
in the end he grew TO such extreme
want that he was fain TO beg or Dor
row Il slxpence, having many times
no more shoes than feet and some-
times having more feet than shoes. '

ing Of Many Organizations.


Following the advice and under the
direction Of d. Il. Hallahan, chairman
Of the employment committee Of the
chamber of commerce, an employment
clearing house is being established In
Spokane for the coming winter. Back
of the movement are the city commits
sioners, labor unions, chamber Of COM
merce, industrial organizations, labor
agencies, employers associations, and
various societies, clubs ana lodges.
The city commissioners will head the
movement and the work will be under
their direction.
1t is planned to have employers reg
lister their needs with the clearing
house; all men and women needing
employment win also register there,
where q record will he kept of their
individual qualifications. 1t is not ex-
pected that there win be work enough
| during the winter to care for an un-
limited army Of employees, so efforts
viii be confined TO furnishing work to
citizens Of Spokane only, men with
| families dependent upon them to be
given preference.

WAGE Increase in Tasmania.

The Tasmanian governments railway
employees have Just had another f25,-
600 year added TO their wages
Since l914-15, a period usually taken
for comparative purposes because Of
the war; wages in the railway depart
ment have grown from fl69,000 TO
fSj5.000, and the cost Of coal and
stores from f57000 70 fi45O00.
Naturally passenger fares and freights
have had to be correspondingly In
creased to keep pace. The statement
is made that this will probably be the
last increase that will have to be made
in fares and freights on account Of
increases In wages.

Resolutions were adopted directing

Polish labor Difficulties.

Fortunately the threatened strike
of agricultural laborers in the Poz.
nanlan district Of Poland has not
broken out, as a peaceful issue has
been found, but the strikes in the tex
tile industries in LODI still continue.
Although they have an economic
basis as a result Of the further In
creased cost Of living. there is no
doubt that communlstie agitation is
exploiting the situation for political
purposes and thus rendering an un-
derstanding between the men and
their employers considerably more diff
iicult, II is hoped that the strike Of
the municipal workers in Warsaw will
terminate happily within short time,
as negotiations are proceeding favor
ably.

Berlin Utilities Workers strike.

Workmen employed by the city OF
Berlin struck tying,up several branches
Of the city's activities. The electric
cars in Berlin proper are not running,
but the automobiles and subways are
operating as usual. The city's repu
tation as a clean city is endangered as
a result of the street sweepers' walk
out. Fortunately there is gas enough
in the reservoirs Ia supply the city's
present needs, as only private electric
light plants are working, The movies
did not open owing to the lack OF
electricity and strike Of operators.
The workmen are demanding increased
wages to meet the high cost of living.
