Womcn's club members are soliciting

clinics and hospitals, as well as at

itv Council is in charge of house

statesmen who make their home IN

Advantages Of Plan
Advantages Of the Community
Chest were reiterated today by those
in charge of the campaign.
They pointed out that, under the
Chest plan. there is just this one
campaign, instead of nine or ten as
heretofore Each organization par
ticipating i'm the Chest has already
Submitted an itcmized statement of
its expenses for the past two years
and its proposed budget for the COM
ing six months, and for the year fol-
lowing, to budget committee. This
committee, composed of seven bust
ness men, has carefully gone over
these figures and established the
lowest possible operating cost for
each agency which will permit it to
function and serve the community.
The fact that there is not cent
of expense connected with this drive
was also pointed out. All the work
is being done by local people, with
out any cost. so that those who con-
tribute can be sure that all their
money will go direct to the agencies
in the Chest.

Disappearing ink as the deadly

places the conventional six-gun in
THE Mysterious Rider production
Of the Zane Grey novel now at the
Etfnge, with Jack Holt and Betty
Jewel as principals.
The iniquitous fluid makes its
screen debut as hold-up accessory
when Charles Sellon, as the villain,
shps Jack Holt a receipt for 5000
written in the vanishing hand.
When Jack goes back to the colony
Of desert homesteaders that had en-
trusted the money to him to buy off
Sellon as IA holder Of Spanish grant
to their lands, he flashes the receipt
to show how clever he was-and the
panic is on.
THE mysterious rider is then and
there forced to do some high and
fancy riding to save his neck from
the Infatuated ranchers bent on
lynehing him.
The picture is graphic portrayal
Of the struggle of the government
hDmesteaders to reclaim their lands

There ought to be more roads and wider roads Get into the Sunday afternoon line on any main highway, if you don't believe it."
 ''The same is true of many coun. try roads. If the governments will, they can not only meet an acute need, but they can do a lot to check what looks like a recession of good times"
 Another aspect of the same thing is water transport. We haven't been doing much about that. The governments could confer vast benefit on the country by increasing the usefulness of our navigabl riv- CTS.
 People who cry, 'Cut taxes. whatever you do,' don't find an echo in this editorial mind. If cut ting taxes keeps people out of work, it is the same old circle again."
 When private work slacks up, public labor should increase. Then, when employment picks up and pri- vate industry is calling, public works should be slowed down."
 Intelligent and progressive gov could thus put into effect a kind of reservoir of labor"

DREDGING FOR MUD OR MONEY?

There is report out that had the Alaska Steamship Company and the Admiral Line Steamship Company been willing to dig up a certain sum per boat per voyage for the benefit of the coffers of the dredging com pany now working in the Narrows. there would have been no delays, nor failures to call, at Petersbure since the dredging has been ill pro- gress.
 It is reported, farther, that the Canadian Pacific Lines were willing to pay the dredge company toll, but the other lines demurred with the declaration that if the Narrows could be opened any time for price. it could be opened for transporta- tion free.
 It is said that the toll, per boat, was three figure sum and amount ed to nothing, more or less, than a hold-up.
 From this it appears that the big mitt proclivities of a private com pany on a public job have caused deal of inconvenience all around
 The Government engineers con nected with the Improvements have proclaimed repeatedly that the Mar rows were closed unless at occasion al times when actual dredging was n't going on and they gave notice accordingly that the water way was open and safe.
 Apparently, the dredging outfit didn't think this official closing mo- tice binding on it if there was any one willing to pay to get through.

PROPERTY WANING

We don't have to be told that times aren't as flush as they were Locally, We thought that. perhaps, the salmon failure had a whole lot to do with the general tightness of things, but this isn't altogether sc. In the States there are bread lines. there is wide spread pinching of everything financial and a slowing down of industry. It isn't the poli- cy of the press of the States to ball. Iy-hoo any downward tendency in trade, in labor conditions, in clear ing house reports and trade de- clines. The press is paid to contin- ually print prosperity with biz 'P'. However, what it prints and what are facts differ widely. Oc- casionally a publication jumps the traces and blurts out flare of real conditions. Here are paragraphs taken from an editorial in maga- zine of recent date:
 There are signs in the United States that business is somewhat slowing up. Trade generally is on a smaller scale''
 There is not so much buildina as there was. Postwar construc tion needs seem now to have been fully met"
 ''This means that there is less de- mand for all matrials that go into bYilding-sand, grave4 cement, stone, bricks, lumber, steel"
 Goods are being moved in dimin- ishing rather than increasing ouan- titles. Railroad loadinga always reliable baramoter of business, are off,
 When trade is off, endowment IS off. Wages are lower, and wage earners haven't so much money to spend. When less money is spenr trade declines"
 Tt is kind of circle. The situ- ation turns in upon itself and makes Itself worse. If this went on to logical conclusion all human activi- ty would cease"
 Such an idea is, of course, ab- surd. Things don't go on in the same way indefinitely. But the thought emphasizes what everybody knows-that the hand of destiny sometimes needs bit of guiding.
 Then going on and taking up what the editor calls helpful inf1uence' to tide over these panics there is this:
