SLOW foolish II would be II rushed
about trying to be SO very busy. There
would be no point In building up Z
large alligator business for myself.
'-rhe things alligators are useful for
are their skins which are used for bags
and music cases and SO forth. We
wouldn't want to sell these thinSs our
selves. It wouldn't be just nice.
"Of course an alligator has been
known to eat little alligators, but Il
wouldn't do to have q business Of al.

to say:
"'Come and buy 4 nice bag today.

From the above figures we find
that the argument so often heard
that this law encourages the hiring
OF teachers regardless Of need is not
well founded, at least so far as Weld
county is concerned. 1t Is true there
are more teachers than last year.
Certain districts have employed q
total Of SO teachers more than they
employed last year, while at the
same time other districts employed
z less. 80 that the total increase this
year over last IL 20. Out Of the 80
new teachers employed, it are found
In rural schools and 81 In town
schools. Twelve Of these new
teachers are employed in districts
that are not now using all Of the
General fund. The schools employ
ing these IL teachers could have en-
ployed Is had the boards been try
ing to use the General fund instead
OF employing teachers for service.
For instance, We find that while
Johnstown employed 4 additional
teachers. It could have employed .,
and while Keensburg and Prospect
Valley did not employ any addition
al teachers these schools could have
employed I more and 3 more re-
spectively."
The article goes on further to
show that tina increase OF teachers
during all Of the past eleven years
has been In about the same proper
ton as last year.

TAXPAYERS WANT TO KNOW

The Board of Aldermen should insist upon a thorough
explanation of the enormous increase in the bids for the
removal of garbage for the next three years over the price
paid for the same work during the three years just past. The
increase may be justified, but the people are from Missouri
in this case.
The bid this year, 1922, is $4,000 higher than it was
in 1919. Let us compare the conditions under which we are
living today with the conditions three years ago. In 1919
the war had just closed. We were still being carried along
on the pinnacle of high prices. Labor was at a premium,
the highest wages were being paid and men were scarce at
that. To get men to ride on a garbage wagon when they
could earn big money doing something far more congenial
was hard. The price of feed for horses was high. Oats, hay
and other necessities cost twice as much in those days as
they do now. The price of every other material that a con-
tractor has TO figure on has also been reduced greatly.
AS for the city itself, it has grown but little if any
since 1919. In fact, because of our inflated population due
TO war activities, there is reason to believe that there are
actually fewer people here today than there were in 1910.
Certainly the problem of collecting the garbage today cannot
be any more difficult or require so much greater equipment
for handling than in 1919 when the city was still crowded
to over-flowing.
The old story of operating at a loss is repeated, but to
convince the public of that the contractors will have to
produce their books showing the extent of the loss. Besides,
under the changed conditions any loss that there might have
been ought to have been wiped out with the great reduction
in the cost of maintenance. AS for securing a new site Tor
a dump, that ought not to be a difficult thing with all the
abandoned clay pits ana marshes 10 Ill III throughout inns
section. at least it ought not to cause an increase OF $4,000
in the cost of collecting the garbage for the next three years
The aldermen must not lose sight of the fact that the
CITY is already facing a decided increase IN the tax rate again
next year caused by some oversight somewhere IN making
up the budget for the present year. 1t is absolutely neces-
sarv to economic in every way possible. The taxpayers are
not going to stand for everything. There is a limit to what
they can edure.
An increase of $40, 900 in the cost of removing gar
base is not to be treated lightly. The taxpayers who must
foot the bill, along with a great many other similar nlHs'
want to know.

YOUR GREATEST POWER

Sergeant Alvin York, greatest hero of the World War"
again is in the run of good luck.
A few months ago, it looked as if he would lose his farm
through inability to meet payments on its $4,000 mortgage.
A month in vaudeville would have brought York enough
money to handle the mortgage.
But he said, 81 would far rather lose my farm, and &c
back to work upon it as a common day laborer, than to com
mercialize the fame which was only Incidental to an act Of
Providence"
Many have marveled at Sergeant York's modesty. The
explanation is, he has faith in Divine Guidance, which carried
the early pioneers through many a hard time.
York's corn crop last year was a bad one-low In bush
els low in dollars. Like millions of others, he was a victim
of dehation of prices.
This did not discourage York. He kept repeating:
''Religious faith sustained me in my danger and removed
nv fear. And He will see me through"
At times it seemed that there was no hope, no way out.
But never did York's faith waver.
Now the mortgage is gone, paid off by the Nashville 10
tarians.
Some will call it a windfall.
= Cynics will call it chance.
The spiritually wise will call it the fruit OF faith.
Faith is the mightiest power we possess. 1t taxes various
forms. ranging from confidence in self or luck to belief I'D
Divine Guidance.
No humane career can be carried through to success without
faith. the mover of mountains. This is q universal beleff
shared by all religious people IN all stages Oh DaroariSm Vi
c;v;lization. and it is the force behind all prayer.
II is an unhappy individual who has no faith IN creed
Creator, human nature and fellow-man.
Without faith, the world would be a rotten one IN winch 10
live and life would be drab andfuhle.
Cultivate faith, to hasten arrival at your goal

1t is only fair, then, that the city take action for the

HAL FINANCE CORPORA.
TON STAY is THE QUESTION
Daily Letter by Frederic ]. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, June 4-Once
again the fate of the War Finance
Corporation, one of the greatest
business institutions ever organized.
is dependent upon the view which
Congress entertains of its usefulness.
This experiment of the government
in the business of direct financing of
citizens has been subject several
times since its organization either
to change of purpose or the chance
Of complete abandonment
The War Finance Corporation is
m of the biggest banks in the
world and it is conducted by the
government Of the United States.
1t has a capital Of $500. 900, 200 in
government funds. and authority to
issue bonds to asst amounts.
The original act creating the cor
| poration was approved April 5, 1918.
This was entirely a war measure. 1t
will be recalled thai when the Unit
ed States entered the war, the
treasury offered the liberty loans
which absorbed so much of the PED
pies money that private corpora
tions sometimes had difficulty in
getting enough funds invested IN
their etenprises to keep them going.
The government recognized that this
was injurious so corporation was
authorized to make loans to enter
prises of almost any character
which We're engaged upon work
tending to assist in the prosecution
of the war. Some of the companies
making wal material were in f1nan-
cial difficulties and loans were made
to them. Street car companies
which carried employees in munition
factories &c and from their work
were eligible to receive aid. Many
other companies, some of them
seemingly remotely connected with
the prosecution of war, were found
TO be performing some duties which
helped the cause and therefore re-
ceived loans.
Coupled with this function, the
War Finance Crporation Act gave
L the Capital Issues Committee,
which it created the authority to
suppress the issue of blue sky stocks
and bonds. that is securities of a
doubtful value in order that funds
be conserved for investment in gov
eminent bonds and legitimate pri-
vate enterprises.
Help For Cattlemen
AS the war developed it was
found desirable to expand the func-
tons of the corporation. One of the
first additional powers it was given
was TO make loans to cattlenfen on
their stock. 1t was shown that
many cattlemen were killing of
their stock because they could not
get enough money from the banks
to carry them over the winter. II
was recognized that the country
must have food. and that 1t would
