GAS FOR CASPER What householder of Casper with @ sixroam house, is getting his home heated and his fuel for cooking at $20 per month? Each householder can figure that out for himself. At our very door at Iron Creek and Poison Spider is a fuel gas sup- ply which we should have, not only for the comfort, and economy of our people, but to build up this city. In the average American city of with a six-rgom house, uses about 600 cubic feet of natural fuel gas a day, to heat his house, and to run his cook stoye, That means 18,250 cubic feet of fuel gas on the average of 30 5-12 days per month thruout the year, so that fuel gas at 50c per thoysand cubic feet would probably cut our householders’ fuel bills in two. ee ee A MINISTRY OF THRIFT | The British government is consid- ering the establishment of.a new ad- department “ministry of thrift.” to encourage ministrative called a It is intended | national saving and| make permanent the thrifty practices | adopted by the British people dur- ing the war. The idea is not merely paternal- istic or philanthropic. It is meant, for the welfare of the people them- | selves, to be sure. But it is also} meant to accomplish two very portant things: First to enable! Great Britain to take care of her huge! war debt; and second, to undermine | the tendency toward radical Social- | ism and Bolshevism. | If this is a good thing for Britain, it is surely a good thing for Ameri An English government official quoted as saying: needed to learn the lessons of thrift but im-} “Great Britain and economy, our American | friends needed it much more. I won- der whether they have been in the/| war long enough to have gained the Ttaly | and England have gained.” | A definite, persistent campaign for continued economy, carried on under benefits from it which France, the direction of a governmental de- partment, would surely help our people to make up any such deficit | in the lessons of war. 0: RESTITUTION IN KIND It is stated by high French authori- ties that France will not only de- mand restitution from Germany, but she will demand restitution in kind. The the Germans in northern France was not destruction wrought by simply the rude vengeance of war, but planned system formed part of a carefull for economically helpless for years afte leaving Frar the war. In some cases factories and chinery were others, parts of machines or wrole mu- entirely destroyed; in! machines were conf ted and car. ried off into Germany along with the other loot, It is Germany's plan to utilize these turing goods with which to compete French machines in manufac- with France in the markets of the world, or even to sell to France her- self, since it crafty scheme to reduce France to the was the German’, rank of consumer where she had been essentially The plan was followed to a large extent in Belgium. There is absolute the ¥rench demand for restitution in kind that stolen machines .and parts, # producer, same justice in Germany be made to return and re- place from her own stgck those de- stroyed.

SAYS MAGAZINE ARTICLE TOKIO, to become Jan. 6.—If Japan desires industrially strong she should shape her future policy in ac-/ ordance with that of the United ites, declares E. Uehara, a former member of Parliament, in an article in a Japanese magazine. Mr. Uehara attempts to explode the theory that Japan must acquire ter-- ritory in order to develop herself | from an industrial standpoint. In- stead, he proposes industrial co-oper- ation with the ted States. “I have no doubt,’ he writes, “that the conclusion of peace will!) find the United States in a position) to lead the world in the matter of thought as well as in economics. It would therefore be the height of un- wisdom for Japan to *hape her future policy otherwise than in with the policy of the United States.
