AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The intelligent employment of
ones savings constitutes quite as
important a part of thrift as the
original practices Of saving.
The newspapers are constantly re-
cording the stories Of people whose
savings have been lost through
various schemes of fraudulent or
worthless investment and constant
allurements are being held out by
INSCRIPTIONS persons who make
offers of fabulous returns to those
who are willing to entrust their hard
earned savings to them. 1t is to be
borne in mind that any form of
investment suggestive of abnormal
returns should be viewed with
suspicion.
In several cities quite recently
there have been men brought before
the bar of justice for defrauding the
unwary in amounts aggregating
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars.
These operations work terrible
hardships. Those who are robbed
are quite often poor widows or
elderly persons who through these
misfortunes are made paupers for
the rest Of their lives. II is not
enough that the charletans who
invent and execute these fraudulent
schemes are given the penalty of the
law. Every possible step should be
taken to prevent repetitions of these
practices.
Greater public education along
practical lines is necessary.
Those who come in contact with
the public should be qualified to
discuss these matters intelligently
and be able to point out the dangers
of placing funds with persons who
offer eXtravagant rewards.
There is not enough general
understanding Of the most simple
fundamentals of finance. II is too
easy for the mountebank to appeal
to the imagination and credulity of
his victims.
The greatest barrier against fraud
is practical education. Those who
assume leadership in public thought
have not discharged their duties
when they teach the thrift that
consists only in saving money and
those who are in position to give
advice and instructions on personal
economics should realize the danger
that may come from lessons in thrift
and economy that are only half
taught

The Packer. Beat Ironwood.

The Packers Beat Ironwood.
Green Bay--The Packers with
Moose" Gardner Of Ashland in the
lineup raised the curtain on their
1924 season at Bellevue park Sunday
afternoon by defeating the IrQnwood
Legion, Is to 0, in a hard fought
exhibition Of pigskin chasing before
the biggest opening day crowd that
ever saw a gridiron encounter in
Green Bay.
The team from the Wolverine
state fought to their last ditch, but
ii wasn't quite enough. So far as
scoring went, Ironwood was never
dangerous. Only once did they get
close to the 80 yard line and then
Eagleburger missed field goal by
city block.
The invaders had a husky aggre-
cation with plenty of beef in the for
ward line and the ends tackled
mighty hard while the backfielders,
particularly Mason, crashed forward
at bullet like speed. Ironwood
showed little in the forward pass
attack and the visitors probably
didn't complete more than two or
three losses during the game
1t was a clean cut game and the
only two penalties handed out went
against the Packers who lost Is
yards for holding and five more for
being offside. The players stood
the gaff and aside from Mason, who
had several ribs broken, there were
no serious injuries. Mathys was
, knocked cold a few times, but he
recovered.
Ironwood held Green Bay to a
safety in the first half. In the
third quarter, Basing broke through
for six yards and touchdown and
Buck kicked goal Later in the same
period, 5 yard pass from Lambeau
to Basing netted the Packers another
! touchdown. Marchall blocked Bucks
attempt at place kick.

A Test for Wisconsin.

Almost any kind of business man
agement viii prosper when trade Is
booming, money is plentiful and
times are generally good. But only
the business laid on solid principles
viii weather a period Of depression.
The test comes in the time when con
ditions are adverse.
Similarly, the present season, now
drawing to a close, is the best pos
sible for checking up on the sound
ness or unsoundness of the cam
paign that Wisconsin has been wag-
ing to make the state the play
ground of the middle west.
Unreasonable weather has pre-
vailed since the opening of the re-
sorts. Heavy rains have delayed and
sometimes completely held up
traffic. Cold weather has taken
from the lakes and the woodlands
much of their appeal. Thousands
of people in the states south of Wis
consin have felt very comfortable at
home; no need to take trip into the
land where days and nights are
cooler.
The cold weather has had its eff
feet on many resort areas of the
nation. Arrangements are COM
planning in some places of almost
total lack Of patronage, They are
referring to this as "the summer
without a vacation"
What has been the effect on Wis
cousin? Despite these adverse
conditions, there has been steady
stream Of tourists. Resorts may not
have been filled to Overlooking, but
they have had a very good business
cities and towns have had their
share of travellers.
A count made by the chief engineer
of the state highway commission
showed LILO foreign automobiles il
Madison in a single day. substan-
tial increase over the total for 8
single day last year. Twenty-si>
states and two Canadian provinces
were represented in the count
Other counts made by the CHIEF
engineer are the basis for his pre-
diction that 100000 tourist cars vii
have rolled over the roads Of Wis
cOnsin before the last vacationist de
parts for the season Of 1924.
A good business, a very good bust
ness, for an exceptionally bad year
Why has Wisconsin been getting thii
trade while other resort sections die
not?
The answer must lie in the fac
that Wisconsin has made itself bette
known as vacation state Tn,
people who did travel came here
they thought Wisconsin" when the!
thought vacation"
That ought to tell us a good dea
for the future. The advertising W,
have done, the publicity we hav,
given to the states advantages, hav,
meant success this season whel
many other sections have failed
The investment is bringing its re
turns and future investments Of tn
same kind will bring their returns

PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle bud.
Uncle bud Says: "When a man
agrees with you in everything you
say better get ready for a touch
If the bobbed hair craze did nothing
else it surely made the safety razor
popular"
The path to success may be mar
row-but it is never crooked.
The man who makes good never
has to ask the aid of bluff.
A mosquito must have a power
full motor, judging by the strength
of his hum.
In the case of the average fat
man it may be said that taste
makes waist"
Some folks make pleasure a
trouble while others make trouble
for pleasure.
If you buy things because they
are cheap, you'll want things be-
cause they are dear.
Quite often a man will use lots
of philosophy in his talk and then
get out and act like kid.
It's all right to call things by
their right names-if your vocab-
ulary is extensive enough.
The woodpecker is the champion
knocker-but at that you can't deny
that he uses his head.
The fellow who is a consistent
and persistent advertiser never has
the sheriff do the job for him.
Many bootleggers claim that they
are prosecuted. But what they
need far more is to be prosecuted.
Hold fast to the TRUTH" says the
old adage And a lot of people do
for we never knew them to put any
out.
You may beat the train to the
crossing, or the train may beat you
and it is all right. But the train
always wins all the ties.

party addressed made no response.
The sufferer again propounded
the query but absolute silence was
maintained on the part of the other.
Stepping further along the platform
he propounded the query to a knight
of the grip and received the
necessary directions. After he had
left for his destination the travelling
man STEPPED over to the silent one
and said: "Why didn't you answer
that fellows question? You live
here and must surely know where

Propaganda Against
State Compensation

Portland, Ore.-Numerous friends
of the workingman" are advising that
individual it is against his best inter-
est to favor a state compulsory COM
pensation law, which will be passed
upon by the people at the fall cleo
tion.
The proposal would put many COM
mercial hospitals out of business and
the managers of one of these con-
Germs has suddenly taken a great in
terest in the working man, who is as
sured that the bill is American in
principle"
The secretary of lumber associa-
ton assures the workingman that the
law will destroy competition, which
is Essential to keeping business
healthy" The inevitable lawyer
bounces into the arena and sternly de-
clares that the proposal is "confis-
catory, unconstitutional and un-Amer-
lean"
This advice is ignored by the or
ganized workers, who insist that
they be assured compensation in the
event of injury or death, and not be
made victims of private concerns who
strive to lower awards that THEN
profits will be larger.

Voters Intimidated
By Dayton Employers

Dayton - Particular attention is
called to the following paragraph of
the speech delivered by Senator La
Toilette in Detroit recently.
Ear more insidious, far more cor
rupt in it's ultimate social conse-
quences, is the use of the financial
and economic power of business in
terests to intimidate and coerce citi-
zens who are giving their support to
the progressive ticket. ) This press
ure is being brought to bear upon
business men, home owners, borrow
ers and employes-upon every class
of citizens whose economic position
enables these powerful interests to
apply the thumbscrew."
1t is not pleasant to say it, but in
Dayton at this minute there are hun
dreds of men who intend to vote for
La Toilette who dare not let their
employers even suspect that they are
anything but 100 per cent Coolidge
advocates.
There are other hundreds who prob
ably will actually vote for Coolidge
due to the fear inspired through in
direct threats or covert suggestions
that their jobs will be forfeited unless
they so vote.
1t is not pleasant to think of these
things, but they are true.

Rail Wages Lower
Profits InCreaes

New York-With profits reaching
record heights, class / railroads re-
port a lowering of wages for July.
AS compared with July last year, the
wage cut, through a decrease of en-
ployes, totaled S25,279,9 900. The num-
Der of employees have been lowered
181, 1,573, or 9,3 per cent, while wages
decreased $25,279, 900, or 9.7 per cent.
Reports to the interstate commerce
commission show that for this July
the cost per freight train-mile and
the cost per passenger train-mile
have been lowered.
When the railroad brotherhoods
were asking for the eight-hour day,
that eliminated in the Adamson law,
they insisted that if freight trains
were speeded up the railroads would
be benefited, as would the public.
During the past year railroad man
agements have been abandoning old
practices, and their profit sheet indi-
Gates that the workers claim is cor
rect.
In many instances these profits are
reaching their highest levels. Net
gains for the Chesapeake & Ohio will
amount to S11,300,000, for the year,
as against last years previous rec
ord of $8,979,430. 1t is estimated
that profits for the Erie railroad will
reach the $10,000,O0O mark. Officials
of the Norfolk & Western predict a
g per cent profit on their common
stock. Similar reports are made by
the Pennsylvania, Delaware & Hud-
son, Lackawanna and other systems,

''HeIpIess Old Man"

feet while indulging in a limited cam

And what of La Toilette?
+ This "helpless old man" is travel
ing hundreds of miles and making
two or three speeches a day and is
actually gaining in weight and fight
ing spirit.
However, the claim that he was
"helpless" was as true as the other
stories the wild-eyed, exasperated and
desperate politicians are circulating
about him.

Ellis Island Said
To Be In Bad Shape
(By Federated Press)

New York-Commissioner of immi-
grafton Henry H. Curran is busy de-
nying charges against the incompet-
ency of Ellis Island. The latest to
complain is Philip Hottinger, son of
a French financier, whose letter
about conditions published in Paris
has come back to Curran.
The young man, who was on his
way to Harvard university under a
scholarship awarded him by the Har-
ward Club of Paris, claims that he
was put IN a room where he slept
with 200 immigrants on the floor
without even a blanket, no razor, no
change of clothing, and that immigra-
ton officials would not let him wire
French ambassador Jusserand nor
cable his father. He says he was Sc
verely grilled to prove who he was
and that on the second day he was
kicked in the back by a guard and
told to get up and wait until he was
called.
Curran denies everything except
that the boy was detained, and this
was done because the American con-
sui had given him the wrong visa,
Curran says. Also the labor depart
ment had not sent proper instructions
about permitting visitors or the
young man could have gone ashore,
Curran claims. That he slept on the
floor and that he was kicked, Curran
calls peculiarly atrocious lies"
