A LIABILITY" WHICH MIGHT
 MAKE YOU RICH

Did you ever think of saving system as liability?
 You have thought for long time that it is an impossibilitiy for you to save anything any more than you do at present out of your income.
 As an illustration, supnosinG you were to lose your present job and had to take one at five or ten dollars less per week, you would immediately adjust your expenses to keep within the amount you were to get, would yo" not?
 If this would be possible under such cir cumstances it is always possible.
 If something should come up which won" make it seem necessary for you to meet 9 ceretain demand each week, could you no' do it?
 Supposing you put away five or ten dollars a week as a debt you owe and which you had to meet each week. You would accomplish it would you not?
 So, you see how it would be possible fo" you to make a substantial saving if you con sidered the matter seriously enough and pro- vided for it.
 Consider your saving as liability and yor will save, that is all.

BE KIND TO YOUR MONEY-'TWILL PAY

The selfish reason for kindness in every walk of life is that it pays. To be kind is to be friendly And friends are more profit able than enemies.
 Apply this to the things that work for you as well as to the people who work for you Your investment, for instance You can't afford to neglect that.
 Neglect horse, and he won't do his best work for you. He won't because he can't. You haven't given him a chance.
 Neither can your invested capital, if you neglect it, do its best work for you. You must provide it with proper conditions for work.
 Goods on the shelves are dependent on the energy you furnish. They can't hop over the counter of their own will. You must provide customers to come and get them.
 The most willing service in the world can't accomplish thing until it has people to serve.
 Kindness to your invested capital means giving it chance to work for you-bringing it buyers by means of advertising -keepin@ goods on the move instead of idling in the store.
 The reason for that sort of kindness to money is that it pays.

WHEN ENFORCEMENT IS HARD

There is no good citizen who will deny the general proposition that every law should be vigorously enforced. But there is no thought full observer who does not realize that there must be prevailing public sentiment to insure enforcement of laws. This sentiment must be overwhelming. It must pervade the witness box and the jury room It must be so mani fest that officers know that it will control elections. It makes no difference what law is, it cannot be enforced unless the people themselves uphold it.
 It is equally true that contempt for one law brings general laxity. If an official winks at disregard for one law, under sufficient provocation he will wink at violation of an other. If juror breaks his oath in one case, his moral fibre has deteriorated. If a juror practices evasion in one case he will not tell the truth though the heavens fall in another case. A general lowering of character of of ficials, witnesses and jurors is inevitable
 These observations are true as to all laws. Instances of disregard of any kind of law. because of peculiar conditions, may be drawn from recent history. But there is one kind of law especially difficult to enforce. All laws of a suptuary character meet this diff culty.
 When property is stolen, all owners of prop erty unite to arrest and prosecute the offender. The witness is very clear in his Identification. The officials overlook no bit of evidence. Tn" jurors are eager to see that stealing is stopped. But suppose the injured party should be vague and indefinite in his description Supnoeo he went to the bounds of perjury, in his effort to shield the thief. Suppose the officials Hooked upon stealing as nopn1ar vice. Sup pose there were thieves on the jury.
 These are the conditions under which sumn- tuarv laws are enforced Even when the moo n1e are aroused to a crusading spirit, thov cannot maintain if nermanent1v. Most '"net return to their ordinary business cares. Law violators can lie low during a crusade Afto" the excitement has died down. thev come on4 of their retreats and renew their lawless ac- |tivities That is their business.
 It is this situation which is causing so much woe to the administration at present.

NO TAGGING FOR EUROPE

Gen. Harbord states that from the time Gen.
 Toffre. renrosentin@ the French, and Gen. Bridges renresnntino the British. came over here in 1917 until the date of the Armistice if was the ceaseless endeavor of their resnec- tive governments to use American soldiers merely as replacement troops in their own armies From first to last Gen. Pershing had to contend against the constant British and French demand first for American companies and then for American battaions, to fill un the depleted foreign ranks. Gen. Harbord points out that it was due to Pershing's ef- fective resistance to those importunities that our boys who gave their lives in the war had the glory of dying under the American flag rather than under the colors of some foreign nation.
 The fact shows how, ever since the United States first took a hand in European affairs
 it has been the unremitting effort of the Allied governments to use American men and wealth for their own selfish ends. They tried to foist the League of Nations upon us, then Armenia, then the Turksh-Greek mess, then as guarantor of France against >Germanv then the Russian problems through the Genoa Conference, then Russia again at the Brussels Conference, and then as mediator in the repar- ations dispute. Through it all there has been relentless propaganda to make American tax payers pay the eleven billions of debt that Eurone rightfullv owes the United States But the Amereican people do not take kindly to being used, and are animated by just the same sort of determination that inspired Gen. Pershing in 1918.

WHEN 'sIS' MEANS "WILL'

No matter what you think of the newness or the oldness or the wisdom or the folly of tie Coue method of getting "better and better every day,' any doctor will tell you that mental attitude is big factor in good health.
 Express it any way you like. The virtue of it consists in having the mind in an active, aggressive attitude toward bettement
 The one who repeats the new formula often enough-as the basis of the "cure''-puts himself in an optimistic mood of resolve.
 That is why the optimist in business is usually the successful individual. Not the flabby optimist who sits back and maintains that things are bound to be all right as they are, but the rugged optimist who says better things are in sight because better things can be won by fighting.
 The possessor of that brand of optimism be- lieves-to paraphrase M. Coue-that "everv day, in every way, business is growing better and better'' He believes it because he is confident that he can help to make it better and better.
 That's the mental attitude that has cured many depression.

CALMNEss PUTS OVER THE BIG IDEA

Do you get excited when you become 1n- tensely interested? Enthusiasm is essential to success but not the variety of enthusiasm which causes a person to talk rapidly, wholly without the balance wheel of practical thought.
 The kind of enthuiasm which really counts is the sort which permits of perfect control of the emotions yet is sufficiently strong t permit of full concentration on the subject
 There are persons with hobbies who cannot talk about them without getting wrought up to high tension so that they do little besides jabber
 So aroused they become that they give little heed, and no sound consideration, to what any other person may say.
 When man or a woman is discussing some thing particularly interesting to themselves and their eyes take on an exicited expression, the face flushes, body become tense and the fingers work convulsively there is failure to create a favorable impression upon those with whom they speak.
 It is the calm, sincere, thinking person who can put over big idea.

TIMES WILL TAKE UP THE GAUNTLET

Does the municipality of Cordova need a town manager? It would appear so. The local solons seem unable to grapple with any issue that tends toward economizing the tax naver's money and has called upon the Daily Times to attend their next meeting and point out economics that can be effected in the pay-ros, without affecting the efficiency of the service given or needed. As most of the members of that body are familiar with the extravaganza with which the funds are dis bursed this action seems superfluous. How ever. the Times will not wait until the next meeting of the Council, which is two weeks distant, to point out the road to economy, but will present its ideas on the subject to the voters within few days.

When the nations of Europe prove that they have sufficient friendship and sanity to come together in counsel for mutual adjustment of their difficulties, and when after genuine CO., operative effort they have failed to solve their problem, it will be time for the United States to consider the proposal to join them and share their troubles. While European nations refuse to take the first step toward common counsel, it would be useless for the United States to bring them together, for the gathering would be merely another forum for dissension and intrigue.

McADOO's CREED

There is one matter which the American people should never overlook: The success of MT. McAdoo is the success of Government wnership--Socialism The former Secretary of the Treasury is completely sold on that idea He had taste of class adulation wh'!" he was at the head of the Railways when they were under the Government His nam" was on every bill-of-fare in the dining cars and on the lips of every employe whose in- Hated wages came from public taxation at McAdoo's demand. It was a great machine that he had started, and if he ever gets an- other chance he will build one to include 9 lot of other industries besides railroads Then what bunch of votes man could clinch with wages elevated by way of taxation. It would amount to putting in his hands the means for perpetuating his policies either as Presl- dent, or as the power behind the throne.

THE CONFERENCE OF THE SCREEN

Another world conference has been sum- moned, for whose favorable and effective re- suits every man Jack and woman Jane of us should yearn. This time 1t is neither a politi~ cal nor an economic conference, and appar- ently It has no chance to SOW the seeds of future wars 1t IS to be meeting of writer's artists, dramatists, novelists and editors let us modestly put the editors last), summoned by great film producer in New York, and to be held in that city, the purpose of which IS to determine the artistic needs and possi- bilities of the screen. It has in it's immediate view the greatly needed movement of the screen productions from the high level of pure technique, machinery, photography, lighting and so on, to which they have already at tained forward toward new domain of art,
 of beauty. of intellectual eminence
 In short this excellent proposition seeks to
 open to the cinematagroph the screen, O. whatever we choose to call it, the domain of beauty and the imagination. It is surely a
 worthy object. This is not to say that the
 screen has hitherto been a stranger to art and the imagination. It has not. There have been
 productions quite remarkable for beauty for
 granduer, for significance But it is true,
 nevertheless, that the merely mechanical side
  phasized. There has been a sort of weary Standardization of the popular productions We have fallen into the way of supposin@ that a 'Epicture'' must be this, that or tho
 other particular thing. What is needed is
 such freedom of movement toward the un- trammelled work of genius as every other
 great art has enjoyed. We want revoluton- ary and moving things in this field as we have them on canvas, in novels, in the worlds great plays. The mechanical resources of the
 screen are now equal to the realization Of
 nothing short of cosmic dreams of the highest
 and nobest character In the tremendously
 suggestive depths of photography applied to this little space a sheet, heaven and hell themselves can be opened to the human vision. Unknown depths of beautiful revelation re- main to be sounded.
 Precisely what such conference as is pro- posed can do in the matter of unfolding such great things remains to be seen. No doubt the triunphs of the future in this regard must be slowly and painfully developed. No con- ference could ever have organized a Shal.e- speare or Moliere. But the situation of tle
 movie art is so clearly on the verge of a for
 ward movement-it so plainly feels the need of thoughtful suggestion-that the propriety of sucl meeting as that to which we have re- ferrod is strongly indicated. It is particularly well that artists and critics should be included in t1e conference. They know the possibilities of the picture Their conclusions may give
 confidence and hope, if not direct inspiration to the future geniuses of the screen.

It is important that all voters register in order to vote at the coming municipal cleo tion, and judging from the interest being mani fested by practically everybody in town in the expense of conducting the of- fical departments of the city, in order to provide funds for necessary public improve ments, there will be an unusually large vote boiled at the April election.
