years, majors, captains and lieuten-
ants of ten or twelve and sergeants
and priyates even younger are now
the rule in Uncle Sans Army of Saw
ers, which is being recruited among
the school boys and girls of this dis
trict. Plans for this army were re-
Gently completed and were announced
through the medium of an art poster
sent broadcast to schools and post
Offices. Within the first five days after
the distribution of this poster, eleven
young Officers" had received their
commissions" in the army. Nearly
5000 have now enlisted, every part
of the district being represented.
The boys and girls earn their pro-
motions in accordance with regula'
tions explained in the poster announc-
ing the. organization of Uncle Sans
Army of Savers. Their insignia is
conferred, and formal commission"
is sent by the Savings Division of the
United States Treasury Department in
this district.
Regulations for promotion in Uncle
Sans Army of Savers state that every
purchaser of one Thrift Stamp in 1921
is entitled to private's button. The
purchase of four Thrift Stamps en-
titled him to Sergeant's button. The
purchase of one War Savings Stamp,
issue of 1921, entities him to Lieu
tenants button; three War Savings
Stamps to a Captains button; five to
Majors button, and ten to Coloneps
button. The purchaser of twenty of
the 1921 War Savings Stamps gains
the award of Generals button, en-
blazoned with a star to indicate the
rank.

Getting Back to Earth.

The American business man, with
few exceptions, is coming down out
of the clouds and seeking to again
place his feet firmly on Mother
Earth. He is realizing the necessity
of encouraging greater volume OF
trade by reduction in the size OF
his profit percentage. He has also
found it to his advantage to practice
economy and reduce operating ex-
penses which mounted to almost un-
believable heights during the period
of imitation. Therefore we daily read
of revision in prices of some essen
tial commodity and following each
announcement has come renewed &C
tivity in that line.
American farmers were the first to
feel the effects of defation. 1t was
not necessary for him to voluntarily
reduce the prices of .their commodi-
ties. 1t was do1e for them, and with
a vengeance. The farmers have, how
ever, reduced their operating ex-
penses and otherwise revised their
program, and those who practice
economy and live and board at home
stand fair chance of having sur
plus at the end of the season to ap-
Div on the debts contracted in the
production of the 1920 and 1921
crops.
1t is alleged that certain classes OF
retail merchants are reluctant to ac-
cept profits at a reduction from war
times, and generally speaking, or
ganized labor is resisting every at
tempt to bring wages down even part
way towards the old time level: They
give as reason for their repection
of wage reduction proposals that the
cost of living continues to remain
above normal. AS the cost of labor
is the largest factor in the cost of any
finished commodity, organized labor
can not logically expect to see re-
duction in living expenses until it
does its share towards the cost of
production. This can be done either
by accepting lower scale or by
showing a greater efficiency in pro-
ducing. Holding down propuction by
loafing on the job for the purpose of
prolonging jobs, or giving work to a
larger number of men, adds more
to the cost of a finished article than
does high wage scale. Labor has no
right to ask merchants and manufac-
turers to sell below the high levels
attained during the war when at the
same time it maintains its demand
for a wage scale negotiated in times
of stress when the nation was in
peril.-Farm and Ranch.

MORE THAN BILLION
HAS BEEN PUT INTO
SAVINGS SECURITIES
REDEMPTIoNs ARE GROWING
SMALLER AS WISE INVESTORS
RECEIVE INTEREST ON
THEIR MONEY

More than one thousand million
dollars have been invested in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates by wise and
thrifty persons in this country, &C.
cording to an official report recently
compiled. OF this amount, over $3.50,
100000 is now outstanding, and in.
yestments are steadily increasing. The
banner year, of course, was 1918, when
there was a strong patriotic appeal.
Total sales for 1918 were $971,913,-
900. During 1919, when the sales cam
paign was based on national thrift
rather than patriotism, s165,3O6,000
was brought into the Treasury, and in
1920 the total was s43,S92,00O. Re-
demptions to date include s378,254, 900
of the 1918 series, s33,441,00O of the
1919 series, sS,OSO,OOO of the 1920 is
sues and about $135,OOO of the 1921
series.
Officials of the savings division
point out that by far the greater pro.
portion of the redemptions are of the
1918 series, which indicates that the
more recent issues are being pur.
chased by individuals who plan to hold
them to maturity.
The certificates pay 4 per cent. In.
terest, compounded quarterly, which is
equivalent to approximately AZ per
cent. if held for the full five years
Those who present the certificates for
redemption prior to the maturity date
receive about per cent. interest.

HARDING URGES,
THRIFT AS AN
IMPERATIVE DUTY
SAYS RIGID AND SANE ECONOMY
MUST BE PRACTIcED BY Ma
TIoN TO RESTORE NOR
NAL CONDITIONS,

The note struck by President Hard.
ing in his address relative to the nee
essity of putting "our public house
hold in order," is one fraught with
meaning to millions of individuals in
this country who have made little ef-
fort to put their private households in
good shape. The urge of thrift and
economy is strongest with too many
only when financial pinch comes.
/ Yet this pinch will seldom be felt if,
as President Harding says, we prac-
tice "a rigid and yet sane economy
attended by individual prudence and
thrift which are so essential to this
trying hour and reassuring for the fu-
ture."
Thrift is commendable at all times.
Individual financial emergencies are
continually arising and to set ones
household in order by planning pro.
gram of rigid yet sane economy, at
tended by individual prudence and
thrift is to ward off the serious con-
sequences OF such emergencies. Among
the millions Of American wage-earners
those who were thrifty have been least
concerned about high prices or busi-
ness depression.
In getting good work started, there
is no time like the present. And in
getting the good work of thrift and
economy started, there is nothing like
getting interested in the Savings
Movement Of the United States Treas
ury Department. The home of every
American citizen who needs to have
his household put in order will be hap
pier in all that that work can imply,
when the message of thrift and econ
omy of the Savings Movement reaches
it. /.

(EIizabethtown NeWs)

(El1ZaDethtOWn News
Prof. George Colvin, the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, in an address to the Kentuc-
ky Press Association, urged the
editors to support the conStitu-
tional amendment to be voted on
this year to make the office OF
State Superintendent appointive
instead of elective. He urged this
upon the idea that it would take
the schools out Of politics.
We do not agree with the de
auctions of Mr.. Colvin. The
Board of Education will play pol
tics in the appointment Of a
school superintendent just as
{ much as the people do in the cleo
ton of one. The public school
interests have never suffered i'll
Kentucky under the. present sys-
tenn of electing the State School
Superintendent. Both parties
have invariably selected just as
good men and just as well qualif-
ed men for the office as the edu
cational boards would select. We
cite Prof. George Colvin. the
present superintendent, as proof

We can't see any more reason
why the people should not elect a
school superintendent than why
they should elect a judge Of the
Court of Appeals. The people are

educational qualifications of the
one as they are to pass on the le-
gal knowledge Of the other
The county school superinten-

education, but, the people have to
elect the. board, and we DO not
know where a democratic board
has elected a republican superin-
tendent, or where a republican
board has elected democratic
superintendent. We believe that
the people are as we'll qualified to
elect a county superintendent as
they are to elect a board of edu
cation to elect a superintendent
for them.
We are opposed to any educa-

not going to surrender the right
to name the head of the school
department by voting for this pro
posed constitutional amendment
Whenever we hear a republican
talking about taking anything out
of politics we are suspicious that
it is but pretense to get demo-
Gratis out of office and republicans
in. George Colvin is not above
suspicion himself if what we hear
of his action in the Eastern Nor
NAL is true. AS Mr.. Colvin is al
very smart man and an able speak
er and he may be preparing to
follow the example Of Governor
Morrow in pulling the wool over
the eyes Of the democrats,
