SHOP EARLY
MAIL EARLY

The Shop Early. Mail Early cam
paign iuaugurated by Postmaster
Genera New last year proved to be
an unqualified success. 1t was of
great benefit to the people and also
enabled postoffice employees TO de
liver al. the Christmas mail before
noon on December %. The depart
ment again this year asks the hearty
cooperation Of the public in order
that the record made last year may
be equalled, if not eXcelled.
When YOU shop early and mail ear
ly you are helping the clerks in the
postoffre to eat their dinners at
home and you are greatly benefitting
yourselves. You have greater
chance TO secure a better selection OF
gifts from the stores; you have more
time 10 wrap them securely, and you
are sure that they will arrive at their
destination in time to be opened on
Christmas morning. You are also re
lieveinc the burdens on the clerks
behind The counters in the stores. and
you are giving a practical demonstra-
ton Of the good will that Christmas
time signifies. Acting Postmaster
General, John H. Bartlett requests
thar YOU refrain from using small
envelopes in sending your Christmas
cards as this very greatly 'retards the
| sorting and distribution of the mails.
. Let us all pull together this year. do
| our shopping early and do our mailing
early Let's make it a genuine old
/ fashioned Christmas celebration.

SHE FEARS FOR THE HOME.

The kitchenet apartment is destroying
family life and interests, Marie G. Merrill
warns the Playground and Recreation associa-
ton.
Discussing the old-fashioned home, she says :
Mother was not too busy to occasionally make
candy or popcorn, and father and mother were
not above playing games which the children
could enjoy.
Nowadays a large percentage of our chill
dren live in place which has not much space
between it's four walls, They come in at even
ing time. Mother kills couple of cans and
they have dinner door is opened and a bed
drops down. Father and mother go out for
recreation and the children hunt theirs"
Alas! this is true picture-but not in as
many homes as is often feared. 1t is tempt
ingly easy to observe few homes that are
such in name only, and to jump to the conclu-
sion that these are typical.
Inventions, modern industry, high rents,
changed customs, the passing of alleys and
large yards as playgrounds-all these, indeed,
have changed home life
But the average home, for instance, does
not live out of a tin can any more than former
generations lived out of glass jars. All can
not afford fresh fruit or vegetables ''out of
season. and brought from afar. The tin can
is a blessing. It is progress. q
AS regards the folding bed: If anyone pre-
fers the old-time mattress of corn husks, and
bedsprings of rope, to the modern mattress
and steel coil springs, welcome to it!
And we believe that Willie, building radio
while pa and ma go to a movie, is quite as well

THRIFT.

Earning capacity is not the most vital ques-
ton in the economic problems of a person or
people Economy and thrift are the founda-
tions of comfortable circumstances and wealth.
Not what we earn but how we purchase with
what we earn is of paramount Importance, how
much in comfort and happiness, how much in
improved condition, how much in provision for
the future. 90
1t seems particularly pertinent that Build
ing and Loan associations should set apart
time in which to especially stress thrift The
home is the rock upon which society rests and
upon which it's safety depends Any agency
that helps to provide more and better homes
is commendable. The Building and Loan as
sociations, through their methods of financing
mortgages and providing for convenient and
easy payments over an extended period have
put a home within the reach of the wage
Garner. This is not only an asset in personal
and social wealth obtained through economy
and thrift, but greater asset in increased self
respect and higher ideals.
A vigorous program for the observance of
Thrift Week beginning January II, 1925,
is in preparation. This past year the weeks
activities resulted in 100000 new members
joining Building and Loan associations
throughout the United States. Associations
have increased their resources more than $780,
100000 as a direct result of their organization
work during that period. Americans fast are
learning the real merit of thrift.

off as the old-time youngster who played It'd
dledeewinks or parcheesi with pa and ma. And
there still are plenty of homes where mothers
make candy and pop corn.
The modern home has, undoubtedly lost
much In particular, it's outdoor surroundings
large open spaces where youth can frollc and
romp in abandon and get plenty of fresh air.
The only substitute for these, as long as par
ents are not wise enough to raise their families
in or near the country, is the park or public
playground We cannot have too many of
them. Speed the work.

DEMAND FOR STOCKING BANKS

While LaFolette and Davis are touring the
country telling how impoverished the American
people are, we are informed through the news
columns of the New York Times, Democratic,
that $50 active has been the demand for the
better grades of silk hosiery lately that one
of the prominent concerns making such goods
was obliged yesterday to telegraph its sales
men to stop taking orders and return home.
The reason for this action was that the pro-
duction Of the concern has been covered for
the rest of the year. The improvement in the
class of goods mentioned is attributed to
marked reaction on the part of the women of
the country against the buying of low-priced
merchandise that flooded the market during
the last year." Now what do you think of
that? IF the ladies in the families of the "few"
were the only ones who could afford to buy
these high class silk stockings the supply could
be met with one days operation of the factory.
But that is not the source of the demand. Prob
ably 95 per cent of the women of the United
States wear silk stockings except when the
weather is too cold and then they wear wool
which is more expensive. And they have the
money to pay for them. They won't have if
the Democrat combination wins in it's cam
paign of destruction.
