A letter belongs in each white space, words starting at the numbered squares and running either horizontally or vertically or both, i \ Too Much War Talk The “next war” has been made altogether a common sith , lect of discussion. Army men, navy men and airplane men talking glibly about the things we should have when the—as they say—inevitable conflict with some nation or other comes into the horizon of international affairs with a menace that we must meet with force of arm. They talk as if some combat were immediately approaching, something that we must be in readiness to meet or lose our standing in the world as, a first class power. They seem to think that there must be a fight in the near future. They may be right, but we think that they are totally wrong. So far has this talk of the “next war” gone, that so able and high-minded a man as Major General John H. Hines, chief of staff of the United States army, told a gathering of women the dther day that in his opinion the women of the country would have a bigger part in the next war. He said that in a future emergency they would probably be called upon to serve in more important capacities in order to release men for duties < they were better qualified to perform. We all know how generally the Germans talked about the “next v just before the great conflict that tore’the German empire from its roots and established a republic.in its place. Soldiers and writers and editors told their countrymen just what should be done when the oncoming conflict burst upon the world. That very talk incited a spirit hostile to the rest of the world. It helped make a war when there was no excuse for a war. It was like educating children in the art of hatred. {t incited a naturally peaceful people to blood and iron. It ade them believe that conflict for “a place in the sun” was e right and proper thing fot Germany to undertake. It cre- ed an atmosphere of belligerency that proved the doom of he fatherland’s militarism. In so much it was good, but in he way of bringing about the bloodiest conflict of history it vas ineffably bad > Now here are we human beings, surfeited with war, weary of bloodshed, wanting only to go on- in our peaceful pursuits and try to help bind up the wounds of-the old world. And yet we see men In high places already talking of “the next war,” as if that were sure to come within a short time, urging us to make ready, spurring us on to see in this or that foreign nation a menace that should put us into the big armament class at once. That is bad business, ill-advised propaganda, needless alasming fe There may be a war some time. Any war;to come would be the next war. And we must not be unprepared. But let us not anticipate it. Let us not talk it ino a reality. Let us not attempt to get the nation into a frame of mind which would welcome it. Instead, let us do everything in-our power to keep the peace with honor. To do that is the first duty of good citi- zenship. Spending Economy There is no question about it, economy is often achieved through spending, says the Idaho Daily Statesman, of Boise. Economy does not consist in shutting off expenditure. It con- sists in spending for profit only, in getting a dollar's value for a dollar’s outlay. Spending in sometimes the ounce of prevention that saves the pound of cure. Spending is also sometimes the stimulant that starts the wheels of business and breaks the back of un employment. Spending not infrequently prevents disgrace, in justice and shame and thereby pays big dividends. When men talk of economy programs and economy admin- istrations, they sometimes make the mistake of choosing men who will merely cut out spending. Such men destroy institu tions by letting them fall into disrepair. They make commis- sions and directors powerless by barely keeping them going and permitting them to do no profitable work. Sometimes, be cause a little spending is involved, they leave the door of op portunity shut. When the people of Idaho say that they want less money spent for government and by government, they mean that they want lopped off those expenditures which’ are not bringing enough returns. And they mean that the total cost of our expenditures—implying personal sacrifice through high taxes and distress to-industry—offsets the value of it. ‘ America needs men who dare to swing the axe wisely. Idaho, too, needs men who can tell when expenditures are eco- nomical and when they are strangling to,prosperity. Up to a certain point, spending brings prosperity; beyond that point it blocks the wheels; the cry of the hour is for men who see the point. The Romance In It America is preeminently the land of business romances, and, make no mistake about it, there is plenty of romance in business. Fame and fortune may be and are won -within the space of a few years. They have been won and are being won by men with no special equipment other than that endowed by na- ture; that is, without inherited capital and without special training or education. A new industry, the radio, has come into being within the last.few years. Already its expansion has been more amazing than anything in the business history of America. Not even in movies or the automobile has there been anything to it. The leading company in the field has just issued inual report.Jn 1921 its gross sales were less than $1,500, 000, Three rs later, in 1924, they were #55,000,000, It is freely predicted they will double again this year. This, of course, only represents a small portion of the total business. Scores of companies have come into existence in the past year or two and the manufacture of parts and accessories is in it self giving employment to thousands As in all new businesses the changes are very rapid. The inventive genius of America makes for startling. improve- ments, and old parts and machines and ideas thus beeome ob- solete and are scrapped. With the theoretical “saturation point” years away, it is a safe prediction that the radio will in a short time become one of our major industries.

The origina] flat tax system prescribed by the bill, under which the ‘owner of afi auto- mobile would pay a tax equal to the amount he paid for a license, has beer reformed and redrafted. The flat tax feature is retained, but {t now is a graduated flat tax which takes into consideration depreciation in value with age and wear and tear. Under the original provisions of the bill the tax on the seven- year-old Ford worth $25 would have been the same as the tax on a new Ford worth $380. Under the pres. ent provisions, the tax on a new Ford would be about $6.25 and the tax on.a five-year-old or older Ford $1. The bill now provides for a tax predicated on value during the first four years of the life of a car, the “W. C. T. U.

Francisco collided with the swindle. tic rock which fell across his path and held him captive 48 hours. Competition in the Mammoth cave region was keen. Floyd hoped to find a natural wonder closer to Cave City, the nearest railroad point, than either Crystal Cave or Old Mam- moth itself. He was to share what- ever profits might accrue. That was why he went in the hole. Somewhere at the end of the tor- tuous pasage, {!n most places no wider than a mans shoulder, he found the cave. He was coming out when he was caugit. After he was found, half standing, half reclining, in the muky passage- way, there began the endeavors to fescue him. His friends, many of them experienced cave men, tried every concelvavie means of saving him. Man's most ingenious devices were valueless—nature supplied a means of circumventing their use. In‘the first place, persons going down to Collings were exhausted when they reached him. His body was lying between them and the rock on his. feet, and the pasage, too narow for human beings to pass prevented rescuers reaching his feet. The sandstone formation was treacherous. An untoward move and tons of earth might further block the cavern. One after affother the leaders of the rescue work- collabsed.
