schools special favors are shown by
the county officials, state officials and
Others who have charge of the schools.
It's true that some schools are much
better than others. But in almost
every community the school is a true
index of the prevailing conception of
the people of that community. The
state and county furnish the money
but they cannot furnish the school
spirit.
In a town or rural neighborhood
where many pull against the best in
terests of the whole neighborhood the
schools are the worst sufferers, in
some instances dying, then come next
the churches. These may apparently
prosper for a while but since educa-
ton is the handmaiden of Christianity
they too must cease to prosper. One
cannot exist without the other. The
people who crucified the Saviour were
not school people.
But you say: "The town schools are
better than the country schools" Yes,
and town people work together. In
no town would the majority of the
people turn their backs on their own
children. Some few cases, it's true,
will do so, but happily they are grow
ing beautifully smaller. It makes no
difference what xcuses may be offer
ed, it is evrlastingly true that only
schools can prosper and do well where
they have a real live, child-loving pa
tronage behind them. Patrons whose
conceptions of life lead them to do all
they can for the interests of the
schools, who will stand behind the
schools, the teachers and school
boards with their money and hearts.
"And inasmuch as you have done
it unto one of these little ones you
have done it unto to me-"

RAILROAD RETURNS ARE NOT
 GUARANTEED

Finding that there still exist, am impression that the government guarantee, the railroads a six per cent return, the Association of Rail awy Executives has issued the following state mrnt:
 ''Thc idea that the railroad homogeneous have guaranteed to them a six per cent re- turn and have therefore no incentive to econ ony is absolutely untrue
 "Sincc September 1, l92O no railroad could receive what it did not earn. Since that time the railroads have failed to earn a six per cent return by $5lS,OOOOOO and have lost that sum forever.
 Tn this period of rcadiusment the rail roads are taking their loss just like everybody csc-only they have no wartime surplus to take il out of. Unlike many other industries, they accumulated no large Surpluscs becaus" they were restricted under government con trol to the same net return they earned in the three wears before the United States entered the war.
 "A dcrcasc in operating expenses outtIcI"nt to make possible a general reduction in rates can be secured only by further substantial reductions in railroad operating cNprnsrS-m- cluding the abolition of wartime rules and working conditions so that the amount of work per day of each railroad cmpIoyr" will be something near what if was before the war.

The newspaper of today is the most pow medium of advertising on earth. In the old days the merchant may have thought he was a bcncfactor and that he was contributing hiS bit "as public-spirtcd citizcn' when he ear rcd two-inch space in the village paper rv- cry day in the year and generally without change of copy Possibly he was.
 But that is changed now. A new order has arrived. People read advertisements. Many find their greatest interest in looking over the advertising pages to get news that will save them money and, take if from John D. Rock fcIIor, the way to save your dollars S first to save your pennies.
 Advertisements today are right up to the minute They are as fresh aS tI" news of inc world or the latest baseball score. Live mcr chants cater to live people and they know they must not alone be up to the minute, but, they must be some distance ahead. They must am licipatc the wants of their customers.
 And they do. Turn to the adv"rtiNmont- in this paper RIGHT NOW. Just read what tI" merchants are offering. Notice the invitations for you to do business with them. Notice how attuctivrIy thc advertisements are ~ct up WI how inviting they are.
 Business men that k the successful ones know advertising pays big in returns In. successful men don't advertise because they are unsuccessful. That's the answer. Look over your town right now and pick out the big firms. They're the advertisers. Advorj~ in@ ~ the tonic that puts dividends in the banks.

PITTMAN ACT WILL STAND

In discussing the Pitman Act and the oll- yer situation, Senator Putnam. of Nevada said:
 ''I am contidant that the futur" of silver k safe The Pittman Act will never be repealed. What little opposition there was a short time ago to the purchase of domestic silver at one dollar by the United States treasury de- partmcnt Is dying out as a result of intel ligent opposition on the part of engineers and mining men all over the country"
 The public has been shown that the Putnam Act does simply justice to the miner at not q penny's expense to the taxpayer.
 Senator Putnam said he believed the fund established under the Pittman Act would he perpetual, imasmuch as before the entire am amount of white metal sold to Great Britain during the war had been purchased, the price of foreign silver would exceed the set price of one dollar an ounce.
 'As soon as this is the case,' thc senator continued ''thc purchase of the United States silver by the government would automatically cease and domestic stocks of metal be diverted to Europe and the Orient Foreign demand with domestic consumption would be ample to insure the existence of the fund created by the Pittman Act for many years as soon as conditions in Europe return to normaI.-- Fix

CALIFORNIA IS CLIMBING
paper

A few years ago one frequently heard tn" mchaIcngcd assertion that California never could hope to become noted for its manutac- tured products In the light of this assertion ii is interesting to note the most recent manu- facturers' census places California fifth among the states of the Union ill the number of plants and eighth in the vaI- umc of manufactured products.
 New York. Illinois, Ohio and Prmnsl IvamIa exceed this state in the number of manutar- turing plants New York, Illinois, Pcmmsy Ivan ia Ohio. Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey exceed ii in the value of manufactured products The census takes in only plants operated on the so-caIIcd factory system and ordinary hand shops are not counted.
 The increase in California the last five years is shown a~ follows:
 Number, ll94&; increase, 1N.S per cent.
 Persons engaged in manufactures, 2962W; increase, GS2 per cent.
 Primary horse power u~cd, 7GS,N5N; increase, 56.G per cent.
 Capital invested, $l.333,3S2,000; mcrra~o 5l1 per cent.

Semenov held out to the last ditch in his attempts to destroy the system of Bolshevism A captain in the Inn perial Russian Army he was wounded in the service of the TZar on the east ern front in the early days of the war against Germany. Following this he was decorated by the emperor with all of the many decorations at the TZar's command.
 Not until July, 1917. did he waiver in his service in the war zone. Then, when the first rising of the Bolshe- viks occurred, he hastened to Petro- grad, sounding warning to Premier Kerensky of the potential strength shown by the new revolutionary party, whose first uprising had been put down by the efforts of the Cossacks.

Of rented homes being so small that
it is very rarely relators are able
to offer one-family houses on lease.
The owner-tenant invariably keeps his
property in better condition and takes
a greater interest in public affairs.
There are available at the present time
few new houses priced from $4,000
to $4,000, which offers solution of
the congested housing conditions for
few of those now living in Newark
or New York. In years gone by it
was often cheaper to rent than to own,
as many owners catered to the renter
to such an extent that they permitted
their properties to run down in order
to keep the rent low and secure a
reasonable return on their investment.
Since the enormous demand has made
1t possible to get proper rents the
landlords have put their properties in
better condition and have discovered

it is the home of several large indus

was not justified, and was caused large
ly by misstatements of the facts with
reference to the effect of tax exemption
son property not tax exempt. The time
for beginning new building in order to
Aget the benefit of tax exemption is
Fshort-only about thirteen months; and
the value of tax-exempt buildings would
probably not exceed $100,000,00o.
. Would Improve Housing
The total assessed valuation of real
estate in New York City is $500 million
dollars. If, therefore, the city should
lose the taxes on the entire $100,000000
it would lose only 1-6 per cent of the
total assessed valua ton, and the tax
rate would be advanced only 1-6 per
cent to cover this loss In other words,
man now paying taxes to the amount
of S100 year would have to pay S116
more. AS an offset to this intinitesimal
increase in taxes, there would be in ex-
istence new buildings to the amount of,
say $10o,000,000, which certainly would
greatly affect the rents on moderate
priced apartments and generally i'm
prove housing conditions"
Saving in Fiat Building
Mr.. MacDougall, who is member of
the Mayors Committee on Housing.
said the measure will have stimulat-
ing effect on building and be followed
by great construction activity, as it was
of great benefit to the builder and buy
er alike.
Mr. MacDougall said the measure al
lows saving of SIS month for an
apartment of six rooms, $3.50 a month
for five rooms and $40 month for four
rooms. Mr.. MacDougall's company is
now, planning to erect $2,500OO0 worth
of cooperative apartments in Queens,
for which the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company has made loan of
S875, 900.
William M. Greve, of the Realty AS
spciates, said that the measure was the
first constructive, step taken to bring
about housing and should bring about
increased production.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-27
Construction A,caits
Drop IN Cost

The reduction In the volume of
home building Is not due SO much
to lack of available capital as to the
enormous costs of material and con-
struction. The home which few
years ago could be erected for
$4,000 to-day costs $4,000 or $4,000.
The prudent home buyer Is reIuc-
iant to burden himself with the
heavy debt, knowing that in "a few
years lower construction costs will
diminish the value of his invest
ment. The annual interest charge
is less, and the discharge of the
principal debt comes easier to the
buyer who pays Z per cent ON
$4,000 mortgage than to him who
pays per cent on an $4,000 mort-
gage.
