BILLl"

When a man becomes so stiff that he cannot
enjoy being called by his first name there is
something the matter with him that needs cor
recting. He may feel, that to be addressed as
"Mister" carries with it a certain dignity and
respect; but the man who becomes popular in
the community or in the nation is recognized
by his first name. When you are greeted with,
"Hello Bill" there is something warm in it.
There is friendly feeling, community interest
and fellowship. The man who insists upon the
mister" will eventually find himself on the
outside of the circle.

OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE.

Ia this to be an administration OF economy !
We are told that it is. If it is there is an OPP
portunlity to begin with the overlapping bu-
reaus in Washington and wherever the govern
ment extends. There are eleven bureaus nav
ing to do with foreign Cannot this
element of the nations business be combined
and the surplus relegated to the junk heap?
Cannot the seven bureaus of foreign
be united in the interest of economy, and also
the fifteen educational bureaus, the sixteen
employed in chemical research, the seven that
are devoted to disabled soldiers, fourteen that
have to do with public lands, twenty-four that
have to do with surveying and mapping, six
teen road construction, seven Alaskan affairs,
fifteen rivers and harbors, nineteen hydraulic
construction, in all some three hundred bureaus
that may be reduced to one-tenth of that num-
Der, and at the same time work with greater
efficiency. @
In 1916 the per capita cost of govern
ment was $11.14. It is $4,000 now. Why
this greater expense? Why this multi
plicity of offices and this unnecessary tan
gle of red-tape, which cannot but be a
hindrance to efficiency? .
Departments overlapping each other are a
hindrance to good government. It means delay
and obstruction of every nature.
How long would these cOndlCOnS exist IN a
we'll regulated commercial or manufacturing
business? It is safe to say that they would not
be tolerated, and if private business cannot
support parasitic institutions it is also a fact
that governments should not.
Simplicity and efficiency should be as nee
essary to national government as it is to bust
ness. Economy demands that the wedding out
of all unnecessary departments be begun at
once, and the quicker the better.
This nation has a tremendous burden upon
its shoulders at the present time, and bureau
cracy and it's consequent inefficiency should be
given immediate attention, regardless Of poll
tics. The administration that has the nerve
to re-organize government bureaus upon the
basis Of national economy will win the hearts
Of the people. Let the axe fall rapidly in the
clearing away of the jungle that surrounds our
national government. Let the housekeeping
also extend to every state and municipal gov.
eminent as we'll, in the hope and determination
to rid all governmental institutions of the rot.

Liberty bonds have ceased to f~luctuate to
any great extent. People have confidence in
the ability of the government to meet all it's
obligations. Many bonds have been sold by
persons who needed Che cash for. some pur-
pose, and in some instances far below theil
value; but the bonds are as safe as the nation
and will be paid in full at maturity. T.

DOES 1T PAY TO BUY RED
CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS.
Kandiiyohi County People Can
Answer This Question
Favorably

As the Fourteenth annual sale of
Christmas seals is on the question is
put squarely up to the people of this
county by officials of the Kandiyohi
County public health association.
In the United States, as whole, ia
out of every 100000 people died of
tuberculosis in 1920, while in the state
of Minnesota 80 people out of every
100000 died of tuberculosis, which
goes to show that the work against
this disease in Minnesota is bearing
fruit.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1921-12-07

If we stop to consider the enormous
amount of money that has been spent
for so-called consum ption cures (Which
of course never cured) how much bet
ter off are the people of Minnesota
when they buy few seals to aid the
Minnesota public health association
and the County public health associa-
ton to teach the people how .tubercu-
losis and other preventable diseases
can be prevented and combatted.
Buy Christmas seals to aid this
movement.

In 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably traversed the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
sionaries followed and the latter
built a mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first
church erected in the state and
around It sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La

Wisconsin before he took his
famous trip down the MISSISSIPPI

come to Wisconsin shores was

city Of Duluth, Mimi, was
