Life's Turns and Crooks
Bring Unusual Incidents

Life's turns and crooks
sometimes bring about sur
prising circumstances
c. H. Bealef, an employee
of the Santa Fe, ran into the
Star Grocery Store Monday
about noon and excitedly ask
ed Ed. Kleindienst whether
he had a fire extinguisher as
a car was afire in the alley
of the 100 block between
Front and Second streets.
Ed said that he did not
have an extinguisher but
would get one next door. He
ran into the Old Trails gar
age, borrowed an extinguisher
and raced with Bealer to the
place where the car was
standing. Ed. was more than
mildly surprised to see that
the car was his delivery
truck, the unusual coincidence
naturally making him step
livelier than ever.
The fire was put out with
very little damage to the. ma
chine. If Ed. had been indif-
ferent and had failed to lend
a helping hand, the Mail
would have a different story
to tell, one of life's little
ironieS.

ECONOMY STRESSED
 IN COOLIDGE TALK
He Adds Two PlankS Of Govern.
 mental Savings

Washington, Jan. "l.--President Coolidge added two new blanks to the administrators platform of govern mental economy today in an address at the semi-annual meeting of federal executive officers comprising the busi- ness organization Of the government. He will permit no expansion hereafter Of the system of federal subsidies to state governments and will counte- noncc no mourning of obligations by federal agencies in excess Of their annual appropriations except in CA treme circumstances.
 Lays on Tax Talk
 The president, who. with Director I ord Of the budget bureau. reviewed the administrators management of the governments affairs since the meeting last June. touched only lightly on the subject Of tax reduc- lion, pointing merely to the relation- ship existing between economy in federal expenditures and tho resultant decrease in feVenues required. He told the thousand or more officials that to increase tho tax burden was To disregar rd the general welfare and held I'D fax reductions as the means of cnlarging 'the reward Of everyone who toils.''
 There can be no deviation from the economy program. Nr. Coolidge as- serted. and he called upon all spending agencies of thc government 10 increase their efficiency and curb the outgo at every turn.
 The budget has been success" Mir. Coolidge continued. You have demonstrated that there can be and is. a business organization Of the government. With the easing Of conditions the time is at hand when we shall decide whether business administration is 10 continue or whether our government is 10 lapse into the old unbusincsslike and wasteful extraragance. As for me. I am for economy. There is scarcely m economic i'll anywhere in our country that cannot be traced di- roctly or indirectly to high taxes. TO increase that burden is to disre- gard tho general welfare. Through constructive economy. to decrease taxes is 10 enlarge the reward Of everyone who tolls.
 'I say to you frankly that except where specifically authorized by law will not countenance the incurring Of obligations in excess of these ap- propriations. I am equally frank in saying to vou that do not look with favor upon tho practice Of asking for additional funds for the year in progress. These latter reauests commonly known as supplemental estimates. may be justified occasion
