THE ADVANCE IS A REAL COUNTY NElVSPAPER
WILL WE PROFIT BY IT?
There is much merit in the proposed state survey bill, and to the
average thinker it is difficult to understand why a certain element in
the legislature should oppose a searching inquiry into the multitude of
useless offices, expenses and laws which clutter up the state govern-
ment.
When L. B. Hanna was governor many Years ago he recognized the
confusion in state affairs, and, being a bnsmess man, could see no rea-
Bon why the state should not be as efficiently run as a business con-
tern. In that view he got the legislature to approprlatc $15.000 for a
~urvey of the different state departments by efficiency experts, and
many wise recommendations came in that report. But that was the
end of it. The report, being by disinterested Chicago men only ac-
quainted with business methods, pointed out many flagrant wastes and
IneffiCiencies, but the succeeding legislatures would have none of the
recommendations and the same old wasteful methods continued, until
Townley arrived, when they were added to by 100 percent.
There is no ~doubt the survey now contemplated is designed to be a
real benefit to the taxpayers and will point out a great number of
things to save the people's money, but it will be up to future legisla-
tures to make use of the report, and, judging by past experience, we
Will learn what a wastefu~l bunch we are and then proceed to be more
wasteful and more inefficient.
-O
NO "BALANCED" RATION
To us it seems that there must come a day in the legislature when
the lawmakers will realize that a greater equality must exist between
approPriations for the higher institutions of learning and the grade and
high schools. As things now stand the higher educational institutions
take altogether too large a proportion of the tax money devoted to
education, when viewed from the point of real benefit to the youth of
our state, and the proportions of the latter, who never get beyond the
eighth grade, and those who attend college.
We had the benefit of a collegiate education, having attended one of
the greatest colleges of the land, and do not decry the great benefit of
these institutions, but later life and observation has lead us to believe
that our greatest duty is toward those who will never see the inside of
a college, but who should have the best that money can buy for the
education they are able to get in the grade and high schools,
Yet because of the community of interest, not to say combines of
members of the legislature from institution districts, in regard to state
appropriations, it is extremely difficult to get a proper balance between
the institutions of higher education and the common schools, and the
unfair working out of this problem is noted in the legislature today.
O
EUROPEAN WAGES
-----o-----
The Minister of Economics of Germany has made public an ordin-
ance ordering a ten percent reduction on all trust produced goods, com-
prising 45 Percent of all goods produced in Germany. This followed a
recent decree authorizing a reduction in wages, The cartels affected by
this order are under semi-governmental control. It will be noted that
the effect of governmentally directed price and wage reductions in
Europe is to negative the protective features of our taxlff, By reducing
both prices and wages the effect of such changes may he absorbed, but
lower prices of goods decrease the amount of ad valorem tariff to be
paid on exports to the Urgted States, and also increase the competitive
Dres~re of these goods in our market. Reductions in wages have also
been decreed in Italy, producing the same effect. The wage level is
dropping all over continental Europe. No effect to maintain the wage
level in the United States will be successfu| unless steps are taken to
neutralize the effect of such wage reductions abroad in industries eno
gaged In. export trade.
The interest being taken in the various meetings in the county for
• liscussion of farm costs and better methods, not to mention new lines
"other than wheat, is a favorable index to the trend of the times to
break away from exclusive wheat farming. The cash received every
month in the year by those who have other lines than wheat are at
last making dents in the minds of those who ran away frOm other
~tates to get away from diversified farming to take up the easy life of
~the grain raiser.
o
On general principles the state legislature is out for economy, but
enthusiasm wanes when the economy gets around to a pet institution or
~tppropriation, as is evidenced by the impassioned appeals from repre-
sentatives from state institution districts when committees recommend-
cuts in their appropriations. This world is f~ll of economists who
• tand firm for economy in others, and strong for placing burdens, so
:long as the burdens do not get upon their own shoulders,
o
A wot%dering member of the lower house of the legislature a few days
ago, when there were many debates over reducing institution expendi-
tures, arose and asked: "How are we going to raise every man's salary
in these institutions and reduce every man's taxes?" and none gave
him reply.

Why has no statesman thought of the simple exwedlent of relieving
the whole situation by Gutting everyone on the federal pension roll at

feeling well enough to resume their
studies again on Monday morning.
Mrs. John Barkland visited at the
Roy McCaskey home Thursday af-
ternoon, while her son Ernest made
a business trip to Beach.
Roy Robertson passed through

ber purchased from P. T. Birm-
ingham, it fmTnerly being a barn
on Mr. Birmingham's farm near

INSIDE INFORMATION
Ice box cookies can be made
from any stiff cookie dough. In-
stead of roiling out the cookies
and cutting them into fancy shapes
roll the dough into a cylindrical
piece, cover it with a clean cheese-
cloth, and store it in the Ice box
over night to become firm. With
a sharp knife slice the cookies off
thin when ready to bake them.
The vogue for tomato c0ck~ails,
made of the Juice of canned to-
mate, seasoned with salt, pepper,
and a little lemon and horseradish,
is excellent, because it adds to the
day's supply of three valuable vit-
amins--A, B, and C. These vit-
amins are retained by tomatoes
even when they are cooked or can-
ned, and the inclusion of some to-
mato in the diet as often as poe-
slble is recommended by all nutri-
tion specialists.
"It beats hell," says grandma.
"Soon as I catch up on my install-
ments to that face-lifting surgeon,
I find myself three payments be-
hind on the roadster."
Gax: "The folks across the street
must be away. They have no
lights." Bage: "No, their daugh-
ter is having a party."

self with several serviceable clean-
i~g preparations that she recom-
mended. As it was still early

"To test muslin for 'filling'--rub a ~'~nall section vigorously between
the forefingers, and note any staxchy substance that breaks out of the
fibers.
"To test for color-fastness---before buying wash goods of any kind it is
safest to obtain small samples of all patterns and soak in clear water.
"To detect cotton in an 'aU-woor fabric--pUll the threads apart and

How funny they were--these old suspiciously-everything shopping
tests! Grandmother knew them all by heart, and descended on Mr.
Biggs, the linen draper, with defiance in her eye. Her little, moistened
forefinger shot suspiciously under there proffered length of sheeting or
dish-toweling. She took nobody's word for anything.
But how differently you approach a yard-goods purchase in any stere

a guarantee-tag that also suggestes a method of washing. These are
your safety-signals in buying. To the questions "Will itWash?", "Is this
pure wool?" or "pure silk?", the saleswoman has only to remind you of
the trade name of the fabric. When she mentions a name familiar to
you through advertising, your doubts are dis~lled.
