\ PRACTICAL WAY TO
CREATE

A large number of prominent in
dustrialists, along with an army of
public officials and economists, are
of the opinion that stimulated re-
sidential construction offers the best
chance of accelerating the pace of
recovery.
Construction is a local industry.
The money that is spent goes first
to local people-to workers, con-
tractors, building supply houses.
Every business in the community
is benefited, from the corner groc-
cry to the electric utility. Every
pocketbook feels the fattening eff
feet of construction dollars.
The great drive to boom con-
struct1on is getting underway now.
Private capital that has been tied up
in non-productive channels is going
to work. A vast need for housing
exists, in both urban and rural To-
calities-there has never been SC
great a potential demand for better
and more modern homes.
So far as the individual citizen i.
concerned, he is now being Offered
an unprecedented opportunity to
build on extremely favorable terms
Almost all the colts involved
from paint to interest charges-arf
well under previous levels. 1t i:
the part of wisdom to make the full
lest possible use of that opportunity

E A YOUR PAPER LABEL

1t is an interesting fact hat very
few subscribers pay any attention
to the labels on their newspapers.
Just why, we have never been able
to understand. When a subscrip-
ton is received the name and adj
dress and the date to which it is
paid, is printed and pasted on every
paper that goes through the mails.
Only recently one of our very best
citizens and a lifelong friend Of
the Waterman, came in to pay up
his subscription. He was in arrears,
and when he was given the correct
date to which he was paid, stated:
II did not realize that I was due
that much. I guess there is no
mistaken" We mentioned the fact
about the label and showed him
how it operates. He then said:
"Oh yes, I knew about that, but
I never look at hat label" w sug-
gest that subscribers to this or any
other newspaper, keep in touch with
their label and then there will be
no question as to the correctness of

POPULATION DATA
$3.50 Census)
SCHOOL DAYS BEGIN AGAIN

Only a few days now and school
will open. All over the United
States thirty million children will
flock back to the public schools,
besides the great number who will
go to the church schools and pri-
vate schools of all kinds.
Thirty million youngsters, get
ting ready to take the places of as
many oldsters in a few years. That
is as many people as there are in all
Poland, more than in Belgium, al
most as many as in England. And
we are spending, we who pay taxes,
about $40 a year for the education
in the public schools Of every child.
The future of the United States
of America lies in the hands of
these young ones. 1t is, therefore,
Of the highest importance to give
attention to what they are taught
in school.
We hear of subvefSive teaching
creeping into some of the public
schools in some of the big cities.
We do not think that is true in the
small towns and the rural districts.
1t is our understanding that the
fundamental virtues of honesty, in
dustry and personal good character
are still inculcated in the vast ma
jority of the schools of America.
Most important Of all is it that
our public schools should give the
children as much as they can absorb
of knowledge of how the world of
grown-ups get a living andmanages
its affairs. Not that we think we
grown-ups manage things any too
well, but a great deal of trouble
will be averted if every boy and
girl learns in school the elemental
facts of our social and economic
system.

Anne felt as though she had es-

freedom.
She made a quick change and
slipped into a coat. She went on
out to the veranda which ran the
full length of the house and faced
the lake. Barry was there already,
pacing up and down with a pipe in
his mouth.
"Great, isn't it,"
"Heavenly.'
She nodded happily and fell in
step with him.

tentedly. "There's a motor boat

TODAY AND
By
FRANK PARKER STOcKBRIDGE
TRADITION -. UP our way

TRADITION :. up our way
Up in my county we celebrated
the 2O0th anniversary of the Con-
gregational Church at Stockbridge,
Massachusetts,, the other day.
Founded by Yale College theology
cal students in 1888 as a mission to
the Indians who lived at Charles
Stockbridge's trading post, it was
organized as a church in 1884, with
the Indian chief, David Konkapot,
and one of my own ancestors, as
deacons. Many famous preachers
have served the old church, most
celebrated of them being Jonathan
Edwards, who left it in 1853 to be-
come president of Princeton Col
lege. The descendants of many of
the first members of the old church
still live in the town.
1t is natural that those who have
grown up in such an enrivement
should be influenced by the ancient
traditions of the country and its
people. Our ancestors believed that
every man was entitled to what he
could earn, and that those who
would not work should not eat.
The landless man, who was content
to work for wages, was looked upon
as. inferior; so it became every able
mans ambition to own a home,
however humble, and a piece of
land he could till and live on, if
wages failed.
a la bear
The principal trouble with the
American people today is that we
have become too dependent upon
the pay envelope. We are like the
tame bear that a travelling show
man took around the summer re-
sorts in the Adirondacks. The bear
would do his tricks, the Snowman
would pass the hat, and the bear
would get his supper.
Up in the thick woods, however,

Duane was any good he would fol.

well rid of him. Besides, she'd have
to go away before the Cages came
or there would be the devil to pay
all around.
The Gage house was nearing
completion. About the middle OF
the morning a glitterng black car
shot smoothly along this highway.
In the back sat a big man of about
fifty, with iron grey hair, a strong
jaw and grey eyes. He was not in
the least handsome, but nobody
ever overlooked John Gage.
Strength and will and a bulldog
tenacity showed plainly in the
square lines of his face. His personal
office staff agreed hat the old man
was as hard as nails, but fair. A
few years ago he had startled his
few intimates by suddenly marrying
a girl who had been appearing in
the Follies. No n would have ex-
pected a thing like that of John
Gage.
He was at the entrance to the
drive into his own grounds, and an
other car had just shot recklessly
out of it.
For a split second sharp grey eyes
met devil-may-care black ones.
Then the other car was gone.
"Whose car was that?' he asked
the architect waiting for him by
appointment.
"Must have been the Pendleton
car. 1t was just the chauffeur. He
said he was killing time"
"Put a guard at the gates" said
Gage crisply. "This isn't an amuse-
ment park. Keep 'em out"
Within half an hour after he had
arrived at his office, Gage sat back
giving minute instructions to one
of the best operatives of an excellent
detective agency.
'All l want you to do is to watch
him and report to me. Don't get in
the game, whatever it is, unless I
tell you to. If you can get a job at
Pendleton's, so much the better"
ri can manage that. Do you know
his name?'
Eat one time he went by the
name of Kennedy and was a gamb-
|ler." Then operative arose.

for the bear. He slipped his leash
one night and vanished into the
forest. Two days passed and the
bear did not return. Finally some
woodsmen at Paul Smiths organ
lied a search for him.
They found the poor beast in the
middle of a clearing, all alone, go
ing through his whole repertory of
tricks and hen looking around for
someone to come and feed him. 1t
was the only way he had ever been
taught to get a living.
