A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

No form of waste is more unfor-
tunate than the waste of human ma
terial, yet the time of millions of
workers in his country is wasted an
nually through means that are large>
" preventable.
For example, the average turn-ov-
err for industry as a whole in this
country, we are told, is 30 per cent
In other words, some 100000 men
change jobs an average of once a
year Each time a man changes jobs
It means two weeks idleness and, ac-
cording to the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics, which recently
compiled elaborate data on these in
stances Of waste in industry, most of
The 100000 weeks of lost time due
60 turnover represents an unnecess-
airy wastage of men.
From the same source it is learned
>lat among 100000 men employed
in manufacturing industries there is
a wastage amounting to II months
unemployment for 100000 to l.
50,000 laborers. This loss is due to
the fluctuations in volume of en-
3loyment and does not include peri
DDS of idleness of only two or three
days duration, nor does it include
ldleness due to sickness and acct
tents, nor any of the 30 per cent
turnover above alluded to-
In the coal industry alone an aver
age of 100000 men are idle one
third Of the time.
Considerably more data might here
be quoted along the same line, but
sufficient facts have been brought out
to Indicate one of the most lament
able sources of waste in our coun-
try-a waste which not only places
an economic burden upon all our
citizens, but, what is even more de-
plorable, constitutes a continual
source of unrest and discomfort.
There are some underlying causes
which render the complete elimina-
ton Of this wastage of human mater
ial impossible, but as Mr.. Ethelbert
Stewart, Commissioner of the Bureau
Oh Labor Statistics points out in the
course Of his review of this situation,
j very large part of this enforced i'd
leress is preventable Practically
all of the labor turnover, ''he de-
clares, could be stopped by human
ization the labor conditions and maxi
ing some effort to get acquainted
with the men.

EDUCATION AND THE BALLOT BOX

NO doubt good many parents living on farms arc
still debating whether not they will send the boys and
girls to the high Schools who last spring completed the
offered in the small district schools Only short
time remains in which to make this decision. Upon it
rests the future welfare not only of the boys and girls
but to considerable extent that of the nation itself for
within few years these boys and girls will be voters BY
means of the ballot they will help decide upon the officers
who will administer the laws Of and nation and
so upon the nature Of the laws by which shall be gov
erned
On the Fourth of July President Coolidge said in an
address before the teachers of the United States meeting
in Washington America has placed the power of gov
eminent squarey securely and entirely in the hands of
the people. For all changes which they may desire for
all grievances which they must suffer- the ballot box fur
nishes complete method Of remedy. Into their hands
has been committed complete jurisdiction and control
over all the functions of government. The body potcl
has little chance of choosing patriotic officials who can adj
minister its financial affairs with wisdom and safety I'M
less there general diffusion of knowledge and informa
ton ON elementary economic subjects sufficient create
and adequately to guide public opinion
Practically every president from Washington to Cool
ldge has warned that the improvement Of American
institutions depends upon the intelligence of the voters

SEEK TO IMPROVE
HOT SPRINGS BATH

A Citizens Committee expect to
visit local business men and others
during the coming week to solicit
subscriptions to improve the Hot
Springs Bath House If sufficient
funds are secured it is their plan to
put in the windows, which have been
broken, a new roof and to generally
improve the steam bath room.
An opportunity is opened here for
some company or individual to i'm
prove this property and pipe the
water to the city where natatorium
could be established. The waters, ac-
cording to an analysis contain medi-
cinal properties, which cannot be i'm
proved upon in the state of Idaho.
The establishment of natatorium
in Mountain Home would be profit
able institution.
