GOVERNMENT COSTS.

People pay more for local government than
l hey do for state or national government. The sum
total has an alarming appearance. And in SO far as
It discloses a tendency toward wastefulness and ex-
travagance it is alarming. But the community is
not necessarily i'll governed because it spends much
money.
The test of the wisdom Of a community's gov
ernmental expenditures is whether or not it is get
ting good value for the money that it spends, and
whether or not it can afford the expense.
There are many expenditures, in themselves
wise and proper, that a particular individual may
not wisely undertake at a particular time. It is en-
tirely desirable, for instance, that one should have
a commodious dwelling, fitted up with all the mod
e1n improvements. But it would be rank folly for
an apprentice mechanic to run himself in debt for a
$4,000 house. The house might be worth every
dollar OF the price, but i IS more of a house than he
can afford just yet.
So with the community. There is a limit to the
expenditure which It can undertake wisely and safe
ly. But within that limit, expenditure IA wise # Il
produces that which, is Useful, and which, is worth
Its cost. II these conditions are met, grand totals
need disturb no one. The individual IS liable for
only his own proportion Of the cost.

CAUSES.

Along lines somewhat similar to those followed
by the conference on unemployment called by Pres
ident Harding, a British committee has been in
vestigating the causes of unemployment and trade
depression in Great Britain and generally through
out the world. This is the executive committee of
the Federation of British Industries, representing
the leading industrial and commercial organizations
Q; Great Britain. The findings of the committee
are summarized in a few paragraphs, and these par
agrapns set forth the committees views on unrest
and Unemployment in terms which are undoubtedly
applicable, not only to Great Britain, not only to
the United States, but to the entire world.
The causes are set forth as follows:
A. The general impoverishment of the world ow-
ing to the enormous unproductive expenditure.
B. The destruction Of the worlds standards Of
value, due. to the. imitation of currencies and
manifcsting itself through a condition of the
exchanges so chaotic as to make international
trade, instead of a matter of reasonable fore
sight and calculation, a game of chance in
which the rules and stakes are perpetually al
tering without the will or knowledge Of the
player.
c. An alteration Of the worlds channels of trade
which may be permanent or temporary, due
/. To the partial or complete disappearance of
many pre-war markets and sources of supply,
such as Russia and Central Europe.
IL. 10 the development of industries in the coun-
tries which previously exported raw material
and imported manufactured goods.
These causes mean that we must face two
periods of difficulty" the memorandum declares
81. A period during which the exchanges and such
subsidiary causes as the high and constantly
varied tariffs which have been a feature OF
postwar economic policy in many countries
will form a serious hindrance to international
trade. During this period trade will also have
to adjust itself to the new channels in so far
as they seem likely to be permanent.
III. A longer period, which will last until by a
process of hard work and restricted consunp-
ton the world has replaced the stock of com
modities and instruments of production lost
during the war"

The following formula is highly
recommended for loss of hair or
badness:
Resorcin, one and one-half
grains; quinine, hydrochlorate,
three grains; pure vaseline, one
ounce.
This is to be applied to that part
OF the scalp which is devoid of hair,
or from which the hair is rapidly
falling. Should this preparation
produce much irritation of the
scalp, an ointment composed of
20 grains of borax to one-hundred
of vaseline should be applined.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am fif-
teen years of age add am in the
second year of high school. My
mother and father are very mean to
me. My father wants to send me
away because l won't stay at home
and take care of the house. There
are three big ones besides me at
home and they all get up and go
when they want to. Mother won't
even let me go to the park or 10
the show or any place without haV-
ing some one watch me. Do you
think it is right for her to be so
close? would like to leave home,
but thought I would write to you
for some help. LONGING.
do not believe your parents are
over-watchfuI and cruel because
they will not let you go to parks
and shows alone Girls of fifteen
are too young to go to such places.
In regard to helping at home, it is
only right that you should have
your tasks so that your mothers
work will be lightened. l believe
that the ones older than you are
should also help, but the fact that
they do not does not excuse you.
Your attitude toward home is
wrong. Try to understand your
parents point of view better and
realize that if they are over careful
it is their love for you that makes
them watch you so closely. They
do not want you TO make the mis-
takes which are so often made by
little girls of your age who are al
lowed all the freedom they want
without any guidance or watching.

member of the class is to give a
