WE ARE ALL IN HI .'SIN ESS. '
It matters not what our engagements in life may be. We
are al1 in business. Whether we be farmers, merchants, bank-
ers, lawyers, doctors or mechanics, "We are all in the business
of living."
To succeed in living, money is necessary. We may be
good lawyers, good doctors, good merchants, good farmers,
good mechanics, but we cannot be successful unless we man-
age in such way that the things we have to have may be had at
a time when they are needed. In other words, we must hav
money with which to purchase the things we have n „ and the
things the other fellow has.
The Government is spending a great deal of time and en-
listing a great many of the busy men of our country in the
movement of thrift. They are trying to educate all the people
to practice economy, so that we may be a more thrifty peop e.
We cannot be thrifty and continue extravagant ways which re-
sult in the spending of all our earnings. Now is a good time
who compose the thrifty of our nation.

"It is gratifying that so many of

Snn Antonio, Tex.—Demobilization
of Army Young Men's Christian asso-
ciation secretaries in the Southern Mil-
itary department has about reached a
standstill for the present, according to
J. H. Eckford, departmental supervisor
of personnel. About four hundred
wearers of the Red Triangle remain lu
the six states composing this deimrt-
ment, more than six hundred having
j been released since the signing of the
armistice. It Is believed that, with
the numerous camps in the department
demobilized down to practically the
smallest possible working force, cora-
pled with the demands of the regular
army men and the returning soldiers
from overseas, there will he a need for
at least four hundred secretaries for
at least several weeks.
Seventy secretaries are serving the
towns and outposts along the Mexican
berder, this phase of Y. M. C. A ac-
tivity having been materially enlarged
since the armistice. Apparently 2fi00
miles of border territory ls now being
covered, the greater part of It by Itin-
erants In light delivery cars. In which
the secretaries carry a full supply of
books, stationery, portable motion pic-
ture machines, athletic equipment. In
a number of the lsolated villages where
troops are stationed the T. M. O. A.
hat li the only entertainment feature
and the soldiers share their privileges
with the civilian populations. Every
border outpost ls now being reached
by the "Y" men, and the work will con-
tinue as long as there are soldiers to
serve.
Germany, If she eigns the peace
treaty and gives satisfactory guar-
antees that she will establish a stable
government and loyally carry out the
provisions of the treaty, doubtless
will be permitted to become a mem-
ber of tly league of nations.
The council of four at present has
this momentous subject under con-
sideration and from unofficial re-
ports seemingly is no strong objec-
tion to Germany becoming associated
with the other nations in the league,
if by contriteness, she proves her
worthiness to membership.
By permitting membershin to Ger-
many, the feeling prevails in peace
conference circles that there will be
110 likelihood of a coalition between
that country and Russia, which in
the future might be the source of
trouble and that with Germany in-
side th? league she could be kept
more tractable than outside it.
The council of four also is gusily
engaged in going over the reports of
the commissions which have been ex-
amining into the counter-proposals
Germany offered to the peace treaty.
While all the commission have not
yet reported to the council, it is felt
in Paris that late in the present week
the entire situation will have been
so whipped into shape that it will be
possible to hand the Germans at Ver-
sailles the final word of the allied
and associated powers, constituting
an irreducible minimum of conces
sions.
It is said that five dayr. after the
presentation of the reply of the allies
the Germans must give notice as to
whether they propose to sign the
peace treaty.
Considerable fighting continues be-
twees the factions in Russia, appar-
ently with varying results.

DISABLED SOLDIERS
LEARN TO BK PRINTERS
i
Washington. June 9.—There is a
demand for printers and machine op-
erators in many publishing houses
and newspapers offices. Fifty-two
disabled soldiers are at present tak-
ing these courses un<1er the direction
ot the Federal oBard of Vocational
Education; six of them are studying
printing, 11 are taking type-setting; j
15 are preparing for linotype opera-1
tors, and two are studying llthog- ^
raphy.
The board train* men for linotype
operators who have previously been
in the printing trade. A few are tak-
ing this course who have had no pre-
vious experience, but they are re-
quired to take thorough-going pre-
liminary training in the printing
trade. . , ,
A former plumber received a gun
shot wound In the right arm and also
Inst his left eye In the Argonne for-
est His former trade w-ns too hard
for him, so he Is preparing to be a
linotype operator.
A type setter, from a gun shot
wound, lost a piece of his skull,
about the size of a dollar. Wearing
a plate over the hole, this hoy

chin©. ^
A Scotchman, living In America,
who a ranchman before he en-
tered the service, has a stiff knee,

We are told that the railroads will
be returned, rebuilt and re-equipped,
at a moment when the private own-
ers could not possibly finance them.
It is injudicious to tell people
things like this. To tell a man a
good fib may not deceive him, but it
will probably Interest him. He will
enjoy the ingenuity of t, even If he
doesn't believe It. He will say, "An
attempt has at least been made to
:oncoct something plausible. It is
not, on the face of it, incredible, al-
though it happens to be untrue. It
does not insult my intellegence. 1
am not, in a word, invited to think
that I am a credulous half-wit.
A clumsy lie does positive harm
to Its inventor. It awakens suspic-
ion, and antagonized the man tt>
whom it is told. He thinks that ho
is not considered worth the trouble
of composing a cleverly disguised fa-
ble. You only annoy a man when
you tell him something that would
not fool a Bix-year-old.
So far from re equipping the rail-
roads, no attempt whatever has been
made to provide for depreciation. At
the present prices of material and la-
bor it will cost five hundred million
dollars to put the roads into the
same condition that they were in
when the government took them
over. And they were running at a
profit before that.
