reduction of the supervisors and shop
foremen.
More than 40 supervisors, including
quartermen and leading men. were re-
duced to the grades below, In most cases
carrying a reduction in pay to them of
more than 81 a day each. This pay loss
! is in addition to the general wage reduc-
ton which went into effect September 16.
There has been a general undermining
. of the morale of the force remaining at
the Washington yard, according to those
familiar with conditions in the local gun
factory, which has shown it's effect in
the lessened production per man. The
constant decreases in pay and status at
the local gun factory, it was pointed out,
are having this effect.
mot only is the mechanical force kept
in a constant state of turmoil. but the
administrative forces. including the clerks,
are showing the effect of the uncertainties
of the situation, it was said. It was said
further today that as high as six clerks
resign each day at the yard to accept
positions which they believe are moro
permanent.
"The general reduction in the status
which is going on throughout the yard
carries with it reduced pay per day, in
addition to the general cut ordered by
the general wage board of the navy No
man who has been reduced has suffered
less than a cut Of $3.50 per day.

working on plans for consolidation of

We Ask The Attention
of EUe1y Reader of
This Paper

Now is the time when it behooves
EVERYONE of you to learn to read
this paper day by day with two pur-
poses: ONE, that you may post your
self upon the GENERAL news. The
OTHER, that you may post yourself
upon the ADVERTISING news.
The day is past when ANYONE can
afford to overlook this second fea-
ture. Tt is the road to ECONOMY in
every home or road that everyone
should travel now. There isn't DAY
passes when MONEY cannot be saved
or when BETTER GOODS cannot be
bought for the SAME money simply
by following carefully the ADVER-
Using NEWS that is published in
THIS PAPER.
The reason for this is very simple;
ADVERTISING is the c h a p e s t,
quickest and best method of SALES
MANSHIP that has yet been found.
Therefore the most PROGRESS
SIVE merchants ADVERTISE.
And, naturally, when you want the
BEST article of any kind for the price
asked, it is fair to assume that the
most PROGRESSIVE men will have
it for sale.
SHREWD MERCHANTS advertise
in this paper because there are thou
sands of you readers eager to see
their advertising when it appears.
They know that you are LOOKING
for whatever good merchandise news
they have to offer. And if ANY ner-
chant so far discounts your value to
HIM as NOT to advertise in the pa
per you read, you can equally afford
to discount HIS value to you.
IF any merchant IS so CARELESS as to over.
look the great combined purchasing value of
THOUSANDS of you readers every day, the
chances are he Is overlooking many good NER-
CHANDISE VALUE when It comes his turn to
go into the markets and buy.
So learn not only to READ the advertising
news In this paper every day, but learn also to
RELY upon It for everything you need.
There isn't ONE FAMILY that cannot reduce
lts cost Of living THESE DAYS simply by care
fully reading and buying entirely through the adj
vertising pages of this paper day by day.

ABOUT STREET PAVING

Mayor Blease gives out state
ment about the street paving that is
now in progress and the streets that
have been decided upon as the first
to pave. 1t seems to US that one of
the first streets to be paved is Boun-
Diary, because it is one of the streets
leading out to one of the county to
county highways, and we understand
that practically all property own
ers along the street have signed the
petition asking city to pave it at least
as far out as Mr.. R. Y. Leavells res
idence
If there be any money left we hope
city council will adopt this street,
and if there be none then let US go to
work and vote some more bonds.
Three miles of a total of eighty miles
of streets is a mighty small per cent
and we should have more miles paved.
AS it is the property owners are will
lllS ~ pay IldIl Vic SOol anu US eiIi9
arrangement it will not cost the city
so great an amount.
And College street should be paved
out to where the county road comes in
which is Just at the far end of the
cemetery and this too is one of the
streets that lead into the county to
county highway, and that highway is
being built and will be completed
within very short time. And be-
sides that it is the main street to the
cemetery and to the college and
should by all means be paved to the
city limits.
While we are at it the cost will be
proportionately less to have paving
done at this time and we certainly
should have more than three miles
of paved streets.

modate the tourist or the traveller who
is passing through, rather than for
the accommodation of those who are
to remain with us. Of course we
want the traveller to come our way,
and we want to make it just as con-
venient and pleasant for him as we
know how, having due regard at the
same time for the rights of our own
people who are to stay with US and
who are footing the bills. Now |
mean to say by this that it seems to
me that the highway commission has
left the whole matter of location and
route and the taking of private prop
erty to the dictum of the engineer.
AS matter of fact ;ne people dele
gated this thing to a commission of
thirteen men and we are looking to
them and not the engineer to have
due regard for the interests of all the
people. 1t is right to have an engi-
neer and we should be governed in
large measure by what he says but we
should also apply a little common
sense as we go along as well as so
much scientific engineering. And even
an ordinary individual with modi-
cum of common sense can see some
things just as we'll as an engineer,
and the matter of making curve one
degree more in order to save school
for the children who are to come
along and pay for these roads or help
to do it, seems to me to be a place
where there is need for the applica
ton of little common sense rather
than so much scientific engineering.
And the same thing applies to the cut
ting of those big oaks at the home of
DR.. Pope just this side of Kinards.
You can cut the trees in a very little
while but DR.: Pope will not be able
to replace them during the balance of
his natural life, and any one with a
little common sense can see that the
slight curve that will be necessary if
you leave them will not obstruct the
view and for the uses of our own peo-
pie it would not hurt the road IN the
slightest degree, not even the matter
of one degree curve.

To Please the Children

rate of speed, but there would nevef
have been a disaster had not some
fool watered the road. 4
The natural thing happened. AS he
turned a corner the car turned turtle.
Fortunately Hoggins landed in wet
but soft ditch.
A few minutes later, when he had
scrambled out and was mournfully re-
garding the machine, friend came
along.
"Hello, Hoggins!" exclaimed the
fool. "What's the matter? Has your
car turned turtle?"
"Oh, no! Oh n-n-no" answer
ed Hoggins sarcastically. 'These
children here wanted to see how the
machine worked, so had the car
turned upside down to please them!

Now there may be some one who
will regard all this little far afeld
from among the schools, and YET it is
not, and then I wanted to say it, and
the schools gave the opportunity and
it is said. l have taken no part in the
rivalry among communities for the
road to come their way and will not.
That should be a pleasant and gen
erous rivalry and wherever the COM
mission may decide should be heartily
approved by all the people. 1t has
occurred to me that it has been the
purpose of the ce mmission to place
these roads in all directions so as to
make them easily accessible to all the
people, even if the road should not
happen to 60 by all the homes in the
county, and that is all the commission
can be expected to do. They have
been planning to build roads across
the county in all directions and that
should satisfy the people, and If it
happens not to do so the commission
can feel on this question that it has
done the best it could and has en-
deavored to reach all sections as best
it could be done.

where there was guarantee for a
certain salary and certin term, and
if there should ,not'be sufficient funds
we will borrow enough to make 1t
up and then place the failure to fur
nish sufficient funds to carry. out the
guarantee squarely up to, the people
who are responsible, and if the money
is not to be raised we will then have
to cut. down the term for the next
year. The legislature had no moral

met certain conditions, and then not
provide the funds to carry into effect
the guarantee. But I will see the
trustees or write them in full my
