friend. It is the friend and worker

the community. It is the greatest fac
tor in development aud progress, the
most potent restorer of confidence
and business.
This may. be said to be the whole
and certain truth by all who know
what a dollar will do in clearing debts
in a community. One dollar wisely
spent at home will do good. One dol
lar unwisely spent abroad will do
harm, for it relieves the community of
that much spending power and brings
absolutely nothing for Its going.
Your town needs your dollars, foi

save a dollar, spend it,
spend It at home. If you need busi
ness in your community let your dol
lar help build it instead of creating a
similar condition In a place where you
can't possibly reap any of the benefit.

THE FAKE ON KIPLING.
A lie travels many a league before
truth can ;get its boots on so the
newspapers in certain sections of the
country are still lambasting Rudyard
Kipling for having made some dis
crediting and discreditable remarks
about these United States.
He was supposed to have said th.it

into the war—which Is true, wbethi
he said it or not—and to have alleged
that when we did go In, we were in
cited by mercenary motives, which
was not true, even If he had said it.

SAFETY FIRST WEEK
The publicity agents of the country
are giving much space to an effort to
work out plans for a "Safety First”
week in this country, with the avowed
purpose of reducing the number of
accidents. This applies In a consid

and it deeply concerns the welfare of '
thousands of people, who are poten
tially dead! only waiting tor an acci
dent to bring about their funerals.
It is necessary in a case of thtj
