HERE is something interesting to all, especially
important TO men who carry dinner-pals:
The National City Bank OF New York discovers
that the manufacturing industry of the United
Srsres, which began along the Atlantic coast is
slowly moving toward the interior of the country
where fuel and the bulk of manufacturing materials
are produced.
Fifty years ago two-trirds of the nations manu-
tactured articles were produced in the eastern strip
beginning in New England and extending from there
down into Florida.
Now that district produces less than half of the
c0untrys manufactured goods
hach year the percentage OF manufactured ar
'tices produced in the east grows smaller.
What viii this lead 70? Easy question TO
answer. The interior OF the United States (the
middle vest is destined TO be the great manufac-
turing center, it j: the center OF production

Two things have caused this westward movement
on manufacturing Both have 70 do with economy
The frst is the desire 70 save expensive freight
hsuis BY turning raw materials into finished goods
close to the localities where the raw materials are
produced.
The second cause OF the shift Of manufacturing is
in land values. Manufacturing attracts congested
population which automatically increases land values.
AS the landlords levy becomes heavier it increas-
es manufacturing costs, also the cost OF living OF
erployss.
Manufacturing and labor are moving TO the
sassnor OF the country to escape the landlords
Similarly and more important movement. the
tendency IS for factories get out OF the cities and
into villages or the open country, where land is
cheap and rents low for employees
The evil, however shadows them. for when they
move their industry to virtually worthless land they
automatically make !, steadily increase in value In
proportion 20 their labors.
Rents and high land values probably are the
hardest nuts crack in our whole system OF econo-
mics.

Libraries in Rural Districts

The American Library association has found
that one-half of the population of the United
States is beyond the reach of public libraries.
creating situation, which the association is try
ing to remedy by teaching the value of books and
suggesting methods of reaching isolated homes
and communities.
A public library is an institution which many
of the people do not appreciate or use much
as they should. They seem to be satisfied to
know that the city has library but care little
whether they use it or not Communities lack
ing collection of books feel the absence keenly.
Some of them maintain rooms where the few
books, usually obtained by donation, are stored
and where the public may obtain them once or
twice week.
Many states, Indiana included have devel-
oped a method of circulating books in comnlV-
mites lacking library, and in the rural sections
This seems to be the only practical way of get
ting books into the homes whose members want
to develop their minds or refresh themselves by
contact with the work of the best thinkers.
The facilities of our library are in the main
adequate for cur needs. Too many of us, how
ever, fail to take advantage of the opportunity.
If more of us cultivated acquaintance with the
library we would find many volumes pertaining
to our work and others that would give us rea!
endowment in our leisure moments.

Memories of Old DAYS
In This Paper Ten Years
Age Today

With the aim of promoting interest
and participation in healthful outdoor
sports, a Sunday school Playground
league was organized. The object of
the league was to afford every boy or
girl attending a Sunday school and
enrolled upon the Sunday school regis
tiers in the city, an opportunity to en-
JOY games on the public school grounds
without purchasing an expensive equip
ment.
The management of all games and
contests was to be in the hands of the
executive committee of the league. The
grounds were to keep open from Z in
the morning till dark, under constant
supervision.

Dawes and the Federal Clerks

Director Dawes of the budget bureau won
ders why the clerks employed in the many bu-
reaus and departments at Washington cannot
work eight hours day. They now work seven
hours and are very much worried because the
director cannot see why they are not able to
work another hour
No one knows exactly why the clerks work
a seven hour schedule. One previous effort
to increase their working hours met with pro-
test. which is likely to be the case again when
the director tries to put his ruling into effect.
The country at large believes that a clerk
in the government employ in Washington can
work eight hours without impairing his or her
health. Most % the clerks came from civilian
life where they worked eight hours and in many
instances longer hours. A change of residence
to Washington certainly did not impair their
health to such an extent that extra hour had
to be Topped off the working scedule.
Director Dawes will soon retire from his
position, much to the regret of the average tax
payer who supported him in his work of stop
ping leaks and systematizing the business oper-
atoms of the government. Every one hopes that
the good work which Mr.. Dawes began will be
vigorously carried on. Millions can be saved in
m organization so intricate and comprehensive
