DON'T TRUST THE SOCK

There are still many people around
here who still put their money away
in an old sock or the sugar bowl, and
refuse to trust it to Uncle Sam or q
good, solid banking institution. We
read recently where a man lost his
straw hat, and with SIS he had stored
away inside the hat band. Another
man gave bootblack a pair of shoes
to shine-and when too late remem-
bered he had stuffed $4,000 in the
toes Of the shoes for sake-keeping.
And every day we read Of money
stolen from its hiding place under
rug or mattres-the first place a
burglar looks for valuables. But some
people simply can't profit by these
examples; they can't bring themselves
to realize that nothing in all the world
is as safe and secure as Liberty bonds
and war saving stamps, and that bank
failures are almost unheard of in this
country and more. We're sorry for
these kind of people-the kind who
are afraid to trust their fellowman.
We're sorry for anyone who loses
sleep-and the man who can't trust
his money into the keeping of others
usually loses more or less sleep for
fear someone will walk away with
the sugar bowl or the sock

DON'T SPOIL YOUR CHRISTMAS

We recently told our citizens how
they could add to their Christmas
happiness by doing their shopping
early, before the stores are crowded
and the clerks are dead on their feet
Now We want to take a moment to
tell you still another way to make the
occasion a joyous one, both for your
self, for those to whom you give, and
for your neighbors. And that is the
simple proposition of buying the gifts
you expect to buy right here at home.
Yuo'n doubtless see many tempting
offers in big city papers-and some
times you'll form the false impression
that you can't get just what you want
and that it won't be as nice as YOU
want, if bought here at home. Tear
the ad that attracts you out Of the
paper and take it to home merchant
and he'll quickly convince you of your
error. 1t may not be right there in
Stock, but nothing will please your
: home merchant more than to order
that particular gift for you, and at a
price in keeping with the one YOU see
advertised.
There is mighty little loyalty in
buying away from home the things
you are going to give home people
Tor Christmas. And neither is there
economy in it. You have to paw ex-
press or postage if you order by mail.
and when they tell you that you can
save" enough buying somewhere else
to pay your railroad fare they're
merely imposing on your ignorance.
Take all this into consideration before
you make purchase out of town.
But, above all, ask yourself if YOU
are loyal to your home town if Won
make your living here and then spend
The money with strangers. Think
these things overland then don,t
make the mistake of spelling your
Christmas by trading any place but
right here at home.

noted for doing big things, and this
newest proposition is merely in keep
ing with her way of doing that which
she sets about to accomplish.
Our citizens who pay taxes are
heartily in favor of such a program.
So should taxpayers in every section
Of American every corner of the
world, for that matter. There is no
question but the modern idea of each
nation spending billions to keep its
navy ahead of the other nations goes
long way toward keeping the people
of that nation poor. For it is the
people who must pay for these battle
ships. Every dollar spent in main
tanning big navy and big standing
army comes directly out of the pocket
of the taxpayers And no further good
is accomplished in the end than to pile
up a lot Of ships that usually are
found worthless when an emergency
arises.
The plan would do more to prevent
war than anything yet suggested.
Couple it with the plan offered by
Mr.. Wilson whereby nations would
have to give three months notice be-
fore declaring war, and you have
practically put an end to it. Nothing
Is going to be lost by going ten years
without building a battleship. And
possibly at the end Of ten years every
nation entering into the agreement

cure site for the first State Tuber-
culosis Hospital, through the purchase
of the Greenwich Springs property in
East Baton Rouge Parish. The site
comprises 448 acres of beautiful land,
100 acres cleared and the rest heavily
timbered. A hotel with 40furnished
! bedrooms, situated on a knoll in a
grove of pine and which rises from
the beautiful Amite Rivre can be
made Immediately available for pat
tents. With the exception of few
details the hotel is completely furn-

artesian well, sewerage and telephone
system are some Of the comforts and
necessities, all Of which has been pur-
chased for fifty thousand dollars.
The State League adopted as a
policy "a state tuberculosis hospital
movement at a meeting Of Parish
Representatives in the fall of 1920
and reaffrmed this policy at the
annual meeting in June 1921, when a
Ways and Means Committee was
formed for the selection and purchase
of site. The Committee recommend
ed that every parish contributing
$500 should be considered Founder

To Mr.. Lucien Soniat of Iberville be-
longs the distinction of being the first
individual founder with a personal
contribution of $500.
We believe it is a matter of Just
short time when every parish will
be in line. It has been through the
intelligent cooperation Of the Police
Juries that many of the parishes have
been able to respond, and with most
OF the parishes dedicating their seal
sale money to the hospital mainten-
ance, the doors Of the first State
tuberculosis Hospital will shortly be
opened. However, our ability for
helpfuiness will depend entirely on
the generosity of Louisianians all over
the state doing their utmost, for
large use of the little seals which
have largely furnished the ammuni-
ton in our war against tuberculosis.

PRAISE for the goodness of God
is never out of place, but it is
especially appropriate on days
set apart by official appointment
to notice the mercies which have
followed us, the blessings which
we have enjoyed, and the kind
interpretations which have been
made in our behalf. The day
should be observed with happy
hearts, and with a genuine spirit
of thankfulness whether you
spend the day in pleasure or in
divine worship.
The POST DISPATCH can offer
no better suggestion on this Day
than this: be thankful, charitable
and considerate.

lined the fears of France Of an at
tempt at restoration of Prussianism
in the former Central Europe empires.
and Arthur James Balfour, heading
the British delegation, rose in his
place and, in solemn words, practical
ly pledged Great Britain to the aid
of France in any future threat Of the
lust of military combination.
BRAND, strong man of France, &C
knowledged by Lloyd George as having
the best parliamentary voice in Eu-
rope, was at his best as, in electric
phrases, he pictured Germany dis
armed physically. but not morally,
and with powerful faction preaching
the doctrines of military restoration.
Germany, he said, could now mobilize
between six million and seven million
men trained in war, and her industrial
Ingenuity would enable her to equip
them quickly as a menace to civiliza-
ton and the world.
In the face of that, the French
premier declared, France was ready
to reduce her army to half its former
strength, but not to the point which,
he said, would expose France to peril.

Mr.. Wilkinson, member of the

conversation. But the news was

it was merely an order for a

However, it is very probable
that the road from Hoffman to
