Hagenbeck-W Wallace shows led off
last summer in what tends to be a per-
manent change in circus customs
the elimination of the old-time pa
rade. The traffic speed and lighting
system that directs it cannot be set
aside for the slow passing Of circus
parade through the street of any up
to date town or city There is, how
ever a good substitute in the use of
portable broadcasting outfit which
will greet the childrcn in the town

JIGGS OF THE MARINES

Jiggs of the marines is dead
The entire marine brigade stood stiffly at
attention while Captain Rome led the exercises
and the body of Jiggs was being lowered to
the grave marine flag covered the coffin
of Sergeant Major Jiggs.
No more will Jiggs wink his approval as the
troops swing by on parade. Jiggs has heard
taps"
Sergeant Major Jiggs was dog.
He travelled more than a hundred thousand
miles with the marines-in air, by land-on
water. Because he was brave-he won his
stripes-and commission.
The civilian may laugh-but not the ma
rjnes Wherein Jiggs is concerned. They
know the bravery, endurance, loyalty and re-
sorcefulness of dogs-and of Jiggs in par
ticular.
Buff you must augh-or sheer make sure
there are no Marines about.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift

Recently compiled statistics show
that there are new 46,762,24 per-
sons in the United States with saw
ings bank accounts amounting to $24,-
696,192,000 or an average of about
$211 for every person in the country.
The last year witnessed growtho t
about 81, 100000 in these &C
counts with a little less than 3,OOO,-
900 added depositors.
The best feature of the report is
the addition of this vast army of new
money savers, for it indicates that
thrift n the country is steadily gain
ing. The increase kin the country's
population is normally between
100000 and 100000. Thus it is
safe to assume that more than 1,00O,-
900 Americans are saving money who
a year ago were neglecting> to do so.
There is still plenty of work ahead
for those interested in thrift pro-
gress. With less than 47,000,0OO saw
ings bank depositors there are proba-
bly, 25,OOO,000 adults who could save
money if they only had the will to
do so.
We cannot measure the nations
thrift, of course, entirely by these
records. Many men are thrifty who
have no savings accounts. They have
their savings otherwise invested. New.
ertheless the country's record of saw.
ings accounts is the best available ba.
rometer. The lesson they teach is
obvious. Too many of us are drifting
along from year to year without max
ing preparations for the days to come
Everyone should save for the rainy
day and for the day of sunshine as
well. Our savings will come MANDY
when we need them either for adver
sity or for opportunity for advance
ment.
Let us hope that these words will
fall beneath the eyes of many of oul
| 25,OOO,OOO non-savers and that they
will be led to make an immediate
start along the pathway of thrift. This
great nation should be able to ado
| more than 100000 new money say
ers during the year on which we have
| just started.

VOTE FOR THE DOLLAR

Modern youth votes for the dollar.
This outstanding fact came from the answer
of SO, 900 young men of 38 different countries
to QUESTIONABLE submitted by the Interna-
tional Y. M. c. A.
The QUESTIONABLE was an attempt to discov-
err YOUTH real objective; what it thought life
was all about, what it's worries, its strivings
were for.

"To secure money for nice home
"To achieve economic independence"

youth? Let the -c fslrc look within himself.
Could+ 9s even be in position to care enough
about what youth was thinking to take time to
criticise, if his own job and material position
did not give him enough freedom from worry
to stop to criticise?

MRS. HATTIE TREADBAS

The remains of Mrs. Hattie Tread

east of the city Saturday morning
were taken to her former home in
Harvey, ILL.,, for interment, accom-
panied by her daughter, Mrs. N. NJ.
Muller and son, Mr.. Edward Tread
has, who were making their home
here with their mother.
The deceased came here from Ill
inois about year ago and purchased
a farm for her son, believing the eli
mate would prolong her years, having
been a long sufferer with asthma.
The deceased was a school day friend
of Mrs. E. Fox, and selected a farm
near Mrs. Fox's.

PRIMARY HERE TO STAY

The great minds of Mr.. Mellon and Mr..
Ware. of Pennsylvania, and of Col. Smith, OF
Illinois, are likely to be strained somewhat in
arriving at an answer to question lately ask
ed bv Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
Mr.. Mellon, Mr. Ware and COL Smith, 1t
will be recalled, advanced the piteous plea
that corruption is inseparable from the prl-
mary system. Pity these poor politicians
forced into buying seats in the Senate by our
pernicious primary system. Why as has been
pointed out by one of these high financlers
contributing money to be used to buy seats IN
the Senate is "just like giving money to a
church.
But the question Senator Beveridge would
like to have answered is: IF the primary was
the cause of flooding two states with millions,
why did not the same cause produce the same
effect in other states?"
Senator Beveridge will likely wait a long
time for an answer. Mr. Mellon, Mr.. Ware
and Col. Smith favor the old convention sys-
tenn Under it, politicians with plenty of mon
ely and no conjunction about spending it,
could PUNK down their cash knowing the
business transaction would remain effectually
concealed.
The primary system has it's faults, as has
all other works of human hands and minds
but it can hardly be blamed for the high cost
of Senate seats in Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Men with more money than morals are to
blame for this. -~<N

the foes of the primary are banding together
TO repeal the law. Senator Beverage has
thrown down the gauntlet to them, and has
virtually announced that he will again cham
pion the primary system and defeat their
carefully concocted scheme, as he did once
before.

Life Insurance Day

One approved method of practical
thrift is investing in life insurance,
a plan that not only provides finan-
cial safety to ones surviving family
at death, but can secure comfort for
ones old age by the approved income
plan. But since many people are
still without this protection for them
selves and dependents the life insur-
ance companies, have chosen a day
in Thrift Week this year, January 10,
to drive home their best arguments
and get the public we'll educated on
the subject of life insurance.

There is a slightly smaller number
of women in the state legislatures for
1927 than in the two preceding years,
being 1872 against a former 1870
Strange to say, Wyoming the first
state to grant woman suffrage has
only one woman legislator while some
of the more conservative eastern
states have five each or more. Con-
necticut leads all states with sixteen
women lawmakers. Their political
division is: Republican, SO; democrat,
81; the remaining number is non
partisan or independent. Oregon and
Texas both have let their woman gov
ernors go. "Ma" Ferguson made a
national reputation for herself wheth-
er pleasant or otherwise. Her I'M
precedented use of executivec lem
ency in the matter of pardons for
criminals is record one, and one not
yet explained in motive. Women are
not seen too tender hearted in jury
duty so as that reason does not necs-
essarily present itself, in fact women
as jurors have shown themselves rath-
er hard especially against their own
sex. Will prejudice dominate wom-
ans decision in public matters more
than a mans? is a plausible ques-
ton. This raises another question
whether sentiments or impulses con-
scientiously followed by women would
work greater damage in public mat
tiers than mems too frequent yielding
of better judgment to some personal
gain in money, position or influence.
