The Labor Department Statistical
Bureau today completed its June ex-
animation of time sheets in 16 major
industrial groups and said it found A.
246037 employees at work, whose COM
bined earnings in one week were S84,-
2O6424 The report showed this was a
decline of 3 per cent in labor and 6
per cent in pay rolls in comparison
with May figures.
The bureau explained these changes
were based on reports received from
1882 establishments in 80 of the pr1n-
cipal manufacturing industries
At the same time, the bureau re-
ported that wholesale commodity prices
continued to climb last week, marking
the fourth consecutive weekly increase.
This price level has advanced slightly
more than 2 per cent since June 10,
and the purchasing power OF the dollar,
with 1926 considered as normal, has de-
clined from S1.57 to Sl.54.
The bureau said the rate of advance e
slackened somewhat last week, but the
gain over the preceding seven days still
amounted to three-tenths of l per cent.

increase begun the week before.

ang and dyeing and cleaning.
In the manufacturing groups, rubber

Gives Reasons
Why One Should
Not Hoard Funds
Is Senseless Practice to Hide Ones
Money and Keep 1t Out of
Circulation.

While it is felt that there is very
little boarding of money in this dis
trict, yet it is possible that there may
be some and President Joughin of the
Libby Commercial club has named
committee to supervise the Hoover
withdrawing campaign here. This
committee is composed of L. S. WEIGH,
R. w. Smithberger and Chas. .. Rowe.
The committee sponsors the follow
ing publicity matter that all Of us can
be benefited by reading.
WHY ARE WE BOARDING?
Is the world coming to an end? If
it does we won't need any money.
Is the United States Government go
ing to fail? If it does our money won't
be worth anything.
Are our big industries going bank
rupt? If they do there will be very
little left to buy
Will our railroads, utilities, gasoline
and oil companies, etc, cease to func-
tom If they do our money will be
SO debated that it won't purchase any
thing.
However, you know that none of
these things are going to happen. Well,
then, what's the matter? Don't we want
money! We certainly do or we would
Lo a.
make money? Yes, or we would not
be working. While we are working then
why not let our money work for Us.
We use our brains on the job we have
and then quit instead of using them TO
invest our money.
Was there ever an opportunity to
make money like there is today? Com
modify prices are at production costs
Stocks and bonds are far below par.
Real estate is being sold for taxes. How
can we ask for a greater opportunity?
| The man who invests in good sound
securities during periods of depression
is the man who grows wealthy. Note
we said invest, not speculate.
WHY STOP THE HOARDING?
I. Because there are over IVA bill
lion dollars in boarding now!
2. Because if these dollars were put
to work they would employ 1,020,832
men for year at 500 per month
g. Because this boarded amount has
destroyed 81, so, 100000 worth Of
credit.

The Libby relief committee is send
ing out call for more assistance. This
time it is for old material that can be
made over into blouses for boys and
dresses for girls. There is great
need for this MATERIAL states Mrs.
0. G. Gompf, "and we could use much
more Of it than is being donated If
every family in the city would donate
some old used dress that could be
made over for children's clothing it
would be great help. Look through
your closets and let us have that dress
or dresses-even the calico ones--tslat

that even though you may have only
one used article to give away, you
will see that it is delivered to US"
