If he evef should marry again, latest wife would no doubt feel like “thirty cents.” ~~ $11,000,000 } It is a singular coincidence that the estimated cost of soldiers’ bonus, as provided under the referendum re submitted by the legislature, is the same amount the interest which the people will be required to pay wr the Carlyon bill. This amount is $11,000,000. Statements by Senator Lon Johnson, which have not n refuted, indicate that the people will be stung unneces- larily for the interest on the Carlyon road bonds. He points gt that approximately $3,000,000 a year is now being d for road purposes. In 10 years, as we go, this would us $30,000,000, and we shall be able to “pay as we go” we our road building. Under the Carlyon bill we will issue 100,000 bonds at interest, paying more than $1,000,000 west per year. Advocates of the bill declare they will able to build in six years roads which would otherwise 10 years to build. But before the $30,000,000 is d to pay off the Carlyon bonds, we shall have paid oximately $11,000,000 interest—or $11,000,000 extra a gain of four years in time. ‘The state senate andthe house of representatives never- passed the Carlyon bill without much ado in the session. Yet they stormed over the soldier bonus In the latter case, they are rewarding, in a small way, men and women who have been of real service. Under the Carlyon bill, they are giving away $11,000,000 satisfy road material companies and bonding interests. ~ Small wonder there is so little faith in the legislature. It is announced that the skin of a common cat is mow worth $1.24. It is probably worth more than that to the cat. Regulates Prices Houston has established a municipal store as a price ulator. ts object is not to absorb any large amount of the busi- of food dealers, but simply to set the pace in prices the commodities it handles. ‘The municipal store pays the same rent as other stores ‘of like size, it pays good salaries to clerks, charges to itself and other overhead expenses the average store would Then it buys its merchandise in the same market stores buy theirs and adds on enough to make a return on the investment. Result: It soon uncovered the fact a lot of profiteering Was going on. It cut prices of vegetables and all farm — 25 per cent and was then making too much profit. : stores handling vegetables and farm produce cut p but not a single one has gone out of business. ' A municipal meat market, as a price regulator, will be arted shortly as a result of the success of the first store. “You can’t regulate prices successfully without getting into the business yourself and learning its ins and outs and ‘twists,” says Mayor A. E. Amerman. “We don’t want any Merchant's business. Day by day we notify them what a sac are and, if they won’t meet them, we will do ing.

Spare the Bird Birds are the greatest little food savers in the world. save billions of pounds of food for humans to eat. do this by preying upon food-destroying insects, in and gardens. The Kansas State Horticultural society has just published interesting bird facts. In that one state alone 256 Million. birds every year eat enough insects to fill 480 8 of 50 boxcars each—24,000 cars of a minimum weight of 24,000 pounds to the car. Kansas birds each year eat 576 million pounds of insects. Each bird will average 100 insects a day. A flock of birds in your garden will keep plants clean of nsects. Cats and dogs, and little boys, sometimes, shoo birds way. They shouldn’t! And big men kill such insect-destroyers as quail. Killing off the quail is costing the wheat growers of the United States 100 million dollars a year. Quails are foes of the thinch bug. Quails are foes of potato bugs. Don’t kill a bird, advises the Kansas society. “If the destruction of birds goes on, in a comparatively few years insect life will have multiplied to such an extent that trees be rived of their foliage, jdéants will cease to thrive, ultural crops cannot be raised.” t pea When you pay a stranger $20 for a quart and it turns out to be water, you have no kick coming.

As a guide to the teacher | of the immigrant or of the youth the fol- | lowing 10 points may be helful: 1, Teach American History—the main points—not too much detail. Emphasize | biography, which is always more interesting | and useful than dates and theories. Make rea) the lives of such men as Washington, | Franklin, Lincoln. 2. Teach that in America are No Classes. Station in life is not fixed, neither by birth, race, nor circumstance. What any man or woman may become depends entirely upon | the Individual, 8. Teach Democracy, and how it is not, | and does not claim to be, a perfect system of government, but is the only kind of gov- ernment in the world under which the} people (the majority of the people) can | get what they want. | 4. Teach the importance of Education, | that every child may attend school free, | and if he does not he is wronging himself | and his country. Ignorance is America’s | greatest enemy, possibly the only one to fear. Emphasize the importance of learning the English language. 5. Teach Politics, our system of State and National government, and the duty of | every one to inform and interest himself in public affairs, 6.

Here the door is open; and any one who wants to break it down is @ fool or a criminal, or both. 7. Teach how to be ‘a Good Sport, which means that when we lose, or find ourselves in the minority, we should not become soured, nor violent, but keep good-natured, 8. Teach the right kind of Patriotism, which in America only on rare means going to war, but all the time and every day means devotion to the Common Good; so that the Profiteer, who uses his wealth or business to rob the people, or the Striker, who uses his organization to injure the public, are equally bad citizens. 9. Teach America’s attitude toward other nations; that we never have wanted and never will want to conquer and rule the people of any other territory against their will; that America only desires to help other nations and trade with them to mu- tual advantage; and that it was for this purpose we went into the Great War; and for this purpose we urged the world to form a League of Nations. 10. Teach Freedom, absolute as to Religion or any kind of Opinion; yet teach how this must necessarily be qualified by respect for Law and orderly Government, so that no man has a right to advocate crime or the overthrow of the Government. These 10 points will give the gist of real Americanism. of vision. ¥ that a baby one “UNCLE SAM, M.D.” this cotemn INFORMATION EDITOR, U, & Public Health Servies, Washington, DB.
