In observing the event they took note of the sunshine and shadow that had alternately - lighted or darkened their journey together in the past eighteen years. Among the most interest- ing things they discovered in this reckoning and analysis was the fact that in the’entire perio from their wedding day to the present day,” the head of the family had not Leen absent from the roof tree for a longer time than eighteen hours in any one day. These occasions were very rarc and what seems equally remarkable, the meals taken away from the family table by the man in all these eighteen years can be counted upon the fingers of the two hands. This is an. unusual record of home devotion and may be set up as a record for family men throughout the world to emulate. During the married life of this ideal couple, many journeys to distant paints have been taken, some out of necessity, some for pleasure and rec- reation. On occasion family affairs called the one or the other back to the old eastern home. Some of these trips were on sorrowful missions, others were full of cheerful anticipation. It made no dif- ference. They always went together. What was joy for the one was joy for the other and what »Was sorrow to the one was shared by the other. There ‘has never been any divided partnership in this family. It has been a close corporation for mutual benefit admistered on a fifty-fifty ; basis. ; . There may be those who might scoff at this -mode of living. That it was too narrow and too small liberty allowed the partners to the con- tract. If such scoffers would look into their own lives, they may discover that too much liberty and too much separation have destroyed the com- , munity of interest that should exist in all fam- ilies. This man and this woman have not made this record of loyalty, by design. It was done uncon- aciously. It was done because it was the thing they each most, desired to do. They preferred each other’s society to that of any other person. They believed in sharing one with the other the joys and sorrows of life as they came to them. We doubt if in all Casper or in many other communities as well, there is another family rec- { ord like this one, and in fact this couple did not know, themselves they had lived such a beau- tiful life until their anniversary had called for a review. That’s what makes it all the amore at- tractive. : | ; Investigate First Get-rich-quick operators otways find plenty of victims anxious to part with hard-earned money. The latest large oper:tor of that kind was a Chicago man who floated an utterly worthless oil stock and found trouble in handling all the money people forced wpon him. He admits that he paid “dividends” ont of money received for stock—that is, used a new customer's money to pay an old customer's dividends. This wag done /many months after Secretary Mellon issued his warning to the country against unsound invest- ments. Mr. Mellon has served the nation well in «many respects but it may be doubted whether he has done anythjng that ought to be of more value than his advice on “How to Avoid Bad Invest- ments.” Here are his twelve “Danger Signs,” and they are worth remembering: 1—Mining stock. The best looking mine in the world may prove a “white elephant.” Mining is | a very expensive undertaking and the risks are daseee unusually great. There are many good mining in- vestments but this branch of the investment market is generally not for those who depend up- on a salary. 2:—Oil stock. Drilling for oil is costly. The hazards are great. Oil investments are specula- tive and in.a class with mining investments. 3.—In the wake of every important discovery or invention there comes a host of schemes— “airplanes,” “radio,” “wireless,” The promoters of these may have only the best of intentions, but frequently their enthusiasm is about all they have to sell. Look before you leap. 4.—Inyestment in “real estate” situated in vome distant place is sometimes as dangerous as ‘mining stock. People have been known to buy Swamps advertised as “sea-shore frontage.” Know what,you are buying before you invest. oheausbsicvae 5.—"Land development” schemes frequently do not pan out. At best it is a long time before any money coines in from sales. Investment in “new compan ‘should be generally avoided. G.—Patent rights and processes distribution. is rarely the patentee who makes the money. —‘New manufacturing methods” should al- ways he closely checked and investigated. * 8—An investment requiring a quick decision is often a fake. If there isn’t sufficient time to “sleep over it,” something is probably wrong. Ht Special inducements” in cash discounts or rf tock bonuses urging yon to be one of the first to »,invest are suspicious symptoms. 10.—*Tips” alleged to land you “on the ground “Floor” are rareiy to be taken. Those who are =“on the ground floor” will monopolize the oppor- nity. 1 i Playing the stock market on. margin” . that are going to “sell by mail” and all other forms of speculation are not for the investor. shop.” Ifyou ganized done seldom turns out well.. Department Economies The “more business’in government” policy of the present administration has been amply shown in the interior department, a department that comes quite near to the people of the west. In bray a ry’s annual report he states that formerly is: dt operating as an-independent.unit of the govern- ment with complete’ divisions, some of them du- ‘plicating functions of others. Law officers, boards of appeal, disbursing officers, and libraries were found to he duplicated. In the latter there was counted more than twenty-four thousand vol- umns of law books in duplicate and triplicate. During. the last fiscal year the secretary re- ports that progress was made toward correcting some of the existing faults, but that much of the duplication is compelled by specific legislation ‘| OF appropriation, leaving but little option, to the administrative officials, Nevertheless huge eco- nomies have been made in the department. For the fiscal year ending June. 30, 1926, appropria- tions for which are now being considered by con- gress, the interior department budget calls for $267,785,596.17. That total is $22,688,127.89 below the figure for the current year, and $58,087,481.83 lower than the total for the fiscal year that closed on June 30, last. Secretary Work declares that the highest efficiency can be assured only when more latitude is allowed by law in’ the ad- ministration of the department’s bureaus. There are two avenues of administration.open to a secretary of the interior, by bureaus or through bureaus. the one offering least resist- ance is for the secrétaray to consent to an inde- pendent administration of unrelated activities by its bureaus, independent of a-covering policy. The other alternative requires the active working in- terest of the secretary in bureau and department- al co-ordination. r U Bringing bureau chiefs in to departments from the business world, by presidential appointment, is the safeguard of civil service efficiency. It joins the public’s necessities which the govern- ment serves to the technical routine of the serv- ice which experience has taught to civil service employes, who necessarily have been excluded and secluded from the business world and its methods. - 4 But it is not possible for the head of a bureau to reorganize it alone. His exacting daily duties and the conscientious objections of employes to change methods with which they have grown fa- miliar, compel the secretary to join. with him and invite in men active in the ultimate applica- tion of bureau rulings in business to co-ordinate the government’s activities, with the business world. : The results of this policy employed during the past two years in the interior department: have amply justified the practice, and the disposi- tion of active men in business to assist cheerfully without compensation is a’ grateful reassurance to the government. - The secretary of the interior like other heads of departments at ‘Washington is guided by the conviction that his department should function for the benefit of the people and not as a con- sumer of taxpayers’.money to provide theorists a means for exploiting pet hobbies. The secre- tary’s report carries the intention and idea of public service, a return to the taxpayers of a higher value for the dollars spent in the depart; ment’s maintenance. ¢ Look Up Your | Legislator Many legislators will need, no more than the recent election-day suggestion that’ the country. wants no hiir-raising, throat-cutting legislation. The tremendous rebuke, of radicalism ‘has changed many a legislative ambition over night. But nowhere would it’be out of place for busi- ness organizations, boards of trade, granges and individuals*to call their legislators into friendly counsel, Most legislators sincerely want to serve their people, it is usually where the people re- fuse to take an interest in public affairs that they go off on their own personal tangents, wool- gathering in the maze of unstabilized speculation as to what is “right,’ <\ little commonsense now, like the proverbial stitch in time that saves nine, might eliminate the nine superfluous laws to every one that is really needed. - 7 Reducing Deficit During the last fiscal year postal revenues in- creased 7.5\ per cent while the expenditures rose only 5.4 per cent, reports Postmaster General New. As a result the annual deficit of the de- partment was cut to only $14,428,000. When it is considered that the revenues of the postal service during the year were almost $573,000,000, an in- crease of over $40,000,000 over the previous year, it is appreciated how close to its income, the service is operated. It is the constant endeavor of the department to avoid'a deficit, but, ag Mr. New remarks in his annual report, “If the pub- lic does not receive a satisfactory service, it is no unswer to say that expenditures have been kept within revenues.” He recommends cetain legislation that will add somewhat to the income of the department without impairing the sery- ice, The Real Owners The railroads are practically owned by the people. It appears that more than 40,000 shares of the capital stock ofthe Pennsylvania railway is held by the employes of the system. and the bonds are in the hands of more than 10,000 small | investors. Many of the transporation systems of the country are making it easy for employes to becomé ‘stockholders. Sometimes they are enabled to buy it below the market and pay for it on the installment. plan: This creates a community of in- terest and makes for stability. Onur foreign loans will run well over a billion dollars in 1924, and 1925 will see many more big issues of foreign bonds sold here. Largely because of American financial aid, European recovery is becoming increasingly rapid. For a nation’ ac- cused.of adopting a policy.of “isolation” we seem to be doing pretty. well. Going to-Pieces The official organ of the Communist party ad- mits a great falling off in membership in prac- tically all the countries of Europe. Even Russia, where the organization had oyer 1,000,000 names on its regular roster four years. ago, now has barely ‘half that number in sustained affilia- tion. The Commune must use force to extend its cause, and causes based upon force are not pop- ular in the world. The party ean hardly expect anything but a slump during the present gener- ation, decidedly .

As a re- sult of these activities it seems probable that at least’ five additional beet sugar factories will be in opera- tion next season in the United States, One of the most iMportant of the pending developments is the merger of the Minnesota Sugar company, Northern Sugar company and Red River Sugar company with the American “Beet Sugar company which involves the completion of the Red River company’s Want at East Grand Forks, Minnesota, in time for operation next season and the later erection of several new factories in Minnesota and the Dakotas.

Either Malta or Glas- gow is likely to be selected as the site for the new factory. Over 5,000 acres of beets for next season have been pledged by farmers in the Milk River district. Another factory that is expected to get back into operation during the coming season is that of the Sacra- mento Valley Sugar company at Hamilton City, California. Lack of ®& sufficient beet supply has kept this plant closed since 1918 but it is now stated that an ample acreage of beets has been pledged for next year and that the factory will be in operation during the season of 1925.26. A new factory that is slated for construction during the coming year is that of the Central Oregon Sugar teat
