making an effort to reach adjustment
that will permit the mines to Opel
again. 1t is probable that the miners
are also nervous, but there is not 81
much being said about it. The people
are also little nervous, being II
doubt as to whether the usual sup
ply Of coal will be available next fal
and, if it is available, whether or mo-
the price will be within reach or with
in reason. Most of the burden of the

The buying public is reading adver-
Using as never before. With prices
rapidly getting back toward normal,
they are watching the advertising to
get the news from the merchant as
to what he has to offer The buy
ing public, in the past few years, has
acquired the profitable habit of read
ing advertising and the honest, intel
Iigent advertiser is benefiting from
this habit. Proof of this is to be had
in the quantity of advertising carried
in the magazines and newspapers.

An excellent example of what team
work will accomplish is to be seen
at the former site of the Moscow
Union Warehouse company store,
where, with some two days work on
{ the part of the men who are inter
ested in the organization, pile OF
world have required two or three
weeks to get cleared up. A commun-
ity lesson might be taken from this.
If there seems to be an opportunity
to get p new enterprise in a com
lnunity if a movement is on foot for
some desirable public improvement,
or if public event of some sort is
Scheduled for the community, let
everybody get back of the movement
and help. 1t is the spirit which builds
big business institutions and which |
builds communities.

NEEDLESS SACRIFICE OF LIFE
Recent horrifying accidents at rail
road crossings have served again to
call attention to the absolute neces-
sity of education of the public along |
lines of safety. Near Boise the other
day there was another case The
driver, husband and father, is still in
the hospital; and the pains of body
are as nothing compared to the men /
tai agonies born of the thought Of a
wife and child in untimely graves
A nationwide careful crossing
is being conducted by the
National Safety council, in coopera-
ton with the National Highway Traf-
tic association, the U. S. Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, the transpor-
alton companies and others The
bought behind this campaign is edu-
;ation of the public. That seems to
be the only solution. 1t has proven
Elective with relation to railroad en-
,loyees, why not with the public?

increased forces 1t is
'gical to assume that education of
ne public will have similar bene-
cial effect.
