COMMUNIST HOLIDAY FAILS

August 1 was to have been a Com
munist holiday Ali over the world,
in the great cities, special details of
police were on duty to keep order in
case Of demonstrations by the radicals
on behalf of the exploited and OPP
pressed wage earners,
August / came and nothing happen
ed It was merely another day. The
Communist demonstration was flat
ana pathetic failure. IN this country,
especially, the workers seem content
to ride about in their automobiles, live
in modern homes, attend high-grade
amusements and work for good wages
under the best of conditions,
1t is from sources other than COM
munism that danger threatens Ameri-
can ideals and traditions. The slow
encroachment of local and Federal
socialism that has placed our govern
ment in competition with various lines

BURTON AGAIN

Dear Mr. Printer;
Regretting very much that what the
Burton Adjuster" was trying to make
fun of in the article two weeks ago,
was taken seriously by some of the
News Record readers, and realizing
that the real idea OF the writer got lost
i'll the home run, and fearing that the
editor might get the wrong view point,
though we are quite sure she has not,
as our paper still comes. we are asking
you again, Mr. Printer, to approach
her and tell her in kindly way, that
it was neither the paper nor the editor
we were criticising, but some of the
people who always feel they or their
towns do not get proper mention in the
paper Tell her we will not try to
write funny again and we are so glad
she did not get things twisted, and sue
us for libel, that we are ready to burst
into song. You know yourself, Mr..
Printer how hard it is to please every
body I'll bet you would not be an
editor for all the new fine dollar bills
the Vashon-Burton bank could pile up
in a day Josh Billings said years ago
that any one who ran newspaper
for ten years should have pension for
life and boss and wagon to do his
going around in. and I think Just the
same as Josh, especially as to the hoss
md wagon, as you know antiques are
coming back into style again. I am
inclosing a stamp so you will please
let me know if the editor holds any
hard feelings agin me, but I really
think she should be out in the street
18th pencil and paper to make note of
any OF our people who pass through
Vashon especially in the early morning
md get it in her paper as quickly as
possible.
BURTON ADJUSTER.

DID you EVER sToP 10 THINK
BY Edison R. Waite

E. W. Jorgenson editor OF the
Spokane Press. says;
That il the average man could
picture his dollars as soldiers working
for him, fighting his battle Of indie
pendence, he would save more Every
dollar is a soldier-a little doughboy
on detail working for you
In army life there are many kinds Of
soldiers. There are those who waste
their moments and bring no returns to
their commanders There are other
soldiers who are constantly on the job,
doing the daily duties industriously
helping to win whatever war or pro-
iect the army has on its hands at the
moment.
You can have your army of dollar
soldiers if you want them. You can
have just as large an army as you
wish! It's all up to you. BY holding
grimly to your soldier dollars and max
ing them work for you-by putting
them into savings accounts at interest
by putting them out as safe loans
by investing them in bonds or III
property that will increase in value
you build up your own little army and
become strong and powerful. No great
financier ever won his position OF
financial power without clinging tight
ly to his dollar soldiers You have
probably heard the story OF Rockefeller
who saved his early earnings. YOU
have heard many tales told Of rich mer
who put their first earned soldier
dollars" to work for them.
The size Of your dollar army is up t.
you. a squad is eight men in army
life. You can have squad OF eigh
silver soldiers working for you or vol
