Said a prominent business man.
head of one of the country's greatest
Industries, recently, "The trouble
with the country today is that all tho
young men are looking for white
collar jobs they do not want to get
their hands soiled." Did he overstate
the case? Look around among your
acquaintance - how many Of the
young men are ready to take a job
that requires hard, continuous labor
and necessitates getting into the dirt
and CRIME?
Everyone will admit that it is more
pleasant to sit in cool place, clothed
in neat raiment, than to toll in the
sun; it is more pleasant to sit in the

LOSES ANOTHER ARGUMENT

After all the former German en-
peror seems to possess traits which
Indicate he is a human being. Just
as it is with the rest Of us he does
not like to pay taxes, and when the
municipality OF Doom, his latest
place of residence, put in a bill for
five thousand guilders poll tax, the
Hohenzollern certainly did put UP a
protest. He still holds to his divine
rights ideas, and conceives one of
hem to be that he is above and be-
yond taxation.
Yet he found himself obliged to
come down to the common level of ar
gument on the question, and intmat-
ed he did not establish himself in
Doom Of his own free will: in fact
he as good as said he was not i'm Hol-
land because he wanted to be there.
and therefore it was iniquitous to tax
him for the privilege of refuge. In
retort, the stout burghers told him
plainly enough he sought such re-
fuge; that if he did not like Doorn
they certainly would interspose no
obstacles to his leaving it, and the
sooner the better.
But, as he was there, and as their
-aXation laws applied to all residents
equally, he must pay the tax. He
paid. Wilhelm thus loses another
argument; and it does almost seem
that rather than manifesting peevish-
ness about the matter, the man ought
to be glad enough to find himself in
position of financial ability to pay
taxes; to say nothing Of being alive
instead Of dangling at the end of a
moose, as many infinitely lesser Grim
mails than he have dangled.-Saginaw

AUTOMOBILE HEADLIGHTS

Dazzling automobile headlights are
one Of the frequent causes of acct
dents. No man can see with these
great glares coming up and filling
his eyes. A number of states are
dealing with this matter, and codes
are being adopted specifying what
constitutes a legal light.
A car with dazzling light is a
public nuisance, therefore no car
should be permitted to leave any
factory until it has a lens that sat
isfics reasonable standard.
If each site simply tries to regu-
ate the headlights after the cars are
bought, lot of illegal lenses will
slip through, as the result of failure
to make complaints and Indifference
Of police officers in many places. 1t
would be far simpler and more eff
fective to deal with this cause at the
factory source.-St. Johns News.
Sunday is the most disagreeable
and dangerous day to drive an auto
mobile. The trunk line and improved
roads are full of cars and dust
and danger go hand-in-hand. This
is especially true on main roads lead
ing out Of and between the larger
cities, as the Sunday list of auto
mobile accidents show. Sunday is
made a holiday by increasing num-
bers, more like a European CONT
mental Sunday, and there are a great
many people on the road.-Clinton

With Our State
Contemporaries
THE YOUNG MANS MONEY.

Two people cannot live as cheaply
as one, but two people frequently do
succeed in living on what the man
spent before marriage. This has been
particularly true since the war, as
free spending by unmarried men was
an important feature of the recent
carnival of extravaganza, and 1t was
one of the causes leading to the bust
ness recession of 1920.
Wages during that period were
usually standardized on the theory of
paying a man enough SO that he could
support family with two or three
children. In a great many cases, an
unmarried fellow would get wages
established on that basis. That gave
him large surplus and he blew ii
with astounding rapidity.
A good many young men would
wear good clothes while doing dirty
work so that their garments quickly
got soiled. In a few weeks they
would have to have a new suit And
so it went on everything. The money
went with amazing speed into JOY
rides and treats and sport
The majority Of unmarried men
saved little through this harvest time.
1t was an opportunity that knocked
just once, and will not return. How
ever, any fellow who has a steady job
can usually earn more than he needs
for himself even now.
A young man with foresight and
sense will use thrift and some degree
Of self-denial, and save such Of his
earnings as are i'm excess Of reason
able expenses. This gives him a bus
mess start, safeguards him against
periods Of depression, makes it pos
sible to accept favorable openings,
and opens up the chance Of comfort
able family life.
Also, if most young men could show
this degree Of sense, Il new source Of
savings would be created that would
be a big factor in utilizing and devel-
oping the nations resources. Our
schools teach the young folks a lot,
but they have not succeeded in teach
ing them thrift.-St. Johns News.

a CHANCE FOR NATIONAL
ECONOMY

President Harding is urging gov
eminent economy, and business and
financial leaders are telling the pub
lie to stop waste, and to work and
save in order to restore sound condi-
tons. 1t could make a good begin
ming by stopping the preventable fire
waste of the country, which amounted
to over $5O0,00O,OO0 last year, or APP
proximately $1,37O,OOO a day. Much
is expected from the application of
the budget system to national expend-
itures, but the American people could
save more than it will save for them
If they will only be reasonably care
full about fire.
Carelessness and ignorance normal
~ figure as the chief causes of our
fires, but there is also the mistaken
belief Of many that when property is
insured against fire the insurance
companies are the only ones to worry
If 1t burns. As a matter Of fact, in
surance costs are so closely inter
woven with our social and economic
fabric that we are all affected by the
fire waste.
The careless or ignorant citizen re-
sponslble for fire taxes himself as
well as his fellows. When this truth
becomes recognized by a majority of
the American public, then will our
ire waste begin to decrease

THE WHOLE WORLD ACCEPTS

The alacrity with which the ma
tons accepted the proposal of Pres
ident Harding for a general confer
ence on disarmament reminds one of
the hired man answering the dinner
bell on hot summer day. 1t looks
as If they were merely waiting for
some one to take the lead. They
follow as readily as a crowd of bows
bound for the odd Swimmin' Hole. "
And they one and all express full ac-
cord with the principles embodied in
the suggestion.
There have ben timid souls who
believed that the most that could be
hoped for would be some sort of an
agreement on naval construction COW
ering the next five years. but the
truth is that the world has grown
very weary Of the great ornaments
they have been carrying and are
ready to cast the burden aside. once
and for all time. No other construc-
ton can be placed on the unanimous
reaction to the Presidents proposal
