ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS.
Every college is assisted in its work
by the enthusiasm and affection of
its graduates. These gather to its
halls as the years go on. If they
have been successful to business,
they make liberal contributions to
help the institution grow to a broader
basis.
The same kind of support ought
to be available to public schools. Ev
ery high school should have its al.
umni association, and the graduates
should help on its development. When
a boy or girl goes through a school
- and gets a helpful start on his path
of life, he should feel a deep attach.
men to the institution where he learn-
- ed his first lessons of achievement
and success.:
Even in the little rural commun
ity, the people who go on from its
grammar schools should feel an af
fection for the place where they first
learned life's lessons, and should try
to keep in touch with it and help on
its advance. ,
AUTO LAW VIOLATIONS.
Producers have found t". e puW.t
Irra Very extravagant meed thi past
year, demanding ohly. the best quali
ties of goods, and unwitting to look
at, anytninfc else. " They have heard
many stories of how merchants could
get rid of their goods only by mark,
ing up the price. The percentage of
people who would not take advantage
of . such a situation if they had the
chance, byjfixing good round prices,
is rather small. ' '.
' Producers of manufactured goods
have been able practically to fix their'
own prices. It is not healthful to
have condition! so that people can do
thin. They need to feel the stimu
lus of competition, and to understand
:hat they must sell at close marklns
r lose business.
The "profiteers" may not be any
.nore selfish and grasping than the
average - person, , but that does not
Justify their policy. There needs, to
be a new spirit of fairness. The
question asked regarding the price
of every article sold, and the wage
that every man asks for its work,
should not be "Can I get it?" but "Is
it fair?"
The public is getting exceedingly
hot over the tendency to ask extor.
tionate prices, and it might easily
go but and smash things generally.
It will promote sound business and
substantial prpsperity, if everyone
will stop grabbing for all he can get,
and be content with close margins
and reasonable profits,
BEFORE WED "
THE DISPOSAL OF RUBBISH.
One of the problems before a
growing town is how to dispose of
rubbish without creating eyesoresT
Many communities have spoiled
some of their prettiest locations by
allowing them to bg used, as dump
grounds for ashes, tin cans, old bot
tles, and other rubbish.
These habits of city and village ife
need to be carefully supervised by
officials interested in developing a
beautiful community. Any place
which is to be permanently used for
dumping should be so screened as not
to be noticeable from the public high
ways. This can be arranged by the
planting of quick growing trees.
The development of building lots
by filling them in with refuse needs
regulation. If such development can
be carried through promptly it
should perhaps be permitted. But
land owners should not be permitted
to disfigure a neighborhood for a
term of years.
The courts of North Carolina con.
tinueto haul into their presence a
great many offenders against motor
laws. The great majority are let off
with trifling fines. Many of these
violations are trifling and were com.
mitted thoughtlessly, by people who
ordinarily are careful. A driver has
a lot to think of in handling bis car.
The motor laws of most states are
very involved, and almost any driver
will slip up at times.
. But when a man has done some,
thing that renders him a peril, it is
not right to let him off with a $10
or $20 assessment. Payment of a
sizable fine would be a good thing
for him. It would protect him from
a growing habit of recklessness that
might involve him in some terrible
disaster. '
The munition makers have not so
far opposed the idea of armed inter,
vention in Mexico.
A lot of people who kick because
prices -fire high, are keeping produc
tion down by working only five days
a week.
The best athletes are carried off
on the shoulders of the crowd, but
tlie good scholars are more apt to be
carried off by business men seeking
assistants.
CLEAN STREETS.
. C. O. Davis, of the bureau of street
sanitation of Milwaukee, urges that
, everyone cooperate to keep streets
of hit. home town clean. He finds
that many people who complain most
about unsightly streets, are them,
selves guilty of leaving waste paper,
lawn cuttings, garden refuse and oth
er rubbish in the street, or where
they blow out into the same.
Make your streets as clean as a
kitchen floor, he says, and thus get
rid of the street dust, which trans
mits disease. He blames many peo
ple for the careless way in which
they handle heir broken milk bot
tles,which are strewn around in the
. streets where they injure tires. He
urges every school and each business
and civic association to keep up a
constant fight for clean streets.
THE PROFITEERING SPIRIT.
It is customary to denounce the
ao-called "Profiteers" as -a separate
class of men, exceptionally avatf
cious and grasping. But the great
majority of people, if put in their
place, might do about the same
tftmg. Most pebple are disposed to
sell their time or their product for
all they can get.
Many formerly enthusiastic fisher,
men are now convinced that you can
not get up a successful fishing party
on a home brew basis.
Congress has adjourned, but not
many delegations of enthusiastic
constituents' are reported marching
with brass bands to welcome their
representative back to his home town.
Brain workers talking of forming
a union, but they should not expect
to get as much pay as muscle work
ers, receive.
Claimed that more farm hand can
be secured, if each, one could have
an attendant to hold a sun umbrella
over him. 'i :
But comparatively few people who
deplore the lack of farm help are
themselves willing even to raise
back yard garden.
Chicago, June 9.--You should hear
the reasons many working girls give
for buying fur coats, remarked a Chi.
cago -merchant to the great number
of-such purchases being made. "One
of the commonest is, Well, if I don't
get it how before I get married, I
never will afterward'," . ..
' The' sight of so many handsome
furs coming to downtown offlca build.
tegs has led to the report that girls
are buying them, on the installment
plan. Not so in the main, according
to inquiry among merchants.
The furs that working gjrla buy on
installments, one house prominent in
this class says,, are mostly of cheaper
grades, averaging in price around
several hundred dollars.
Now and then, said the proprietor
of this concern, a working girl mak.
ing a good salary comes in to buy a
$400 or $500 fur. Her first payment
on a purchase of this size is required
to be $150, $200 or perhaps more.
She has then four or five months in
which to meet the balance.
The run of the stores however asl
cash in advance. True- enough, manj
have their own installment plan, but
this is quite different from the de
ferred payment system usually asso
ciated with real estate. . . '" j. .
These deferred paymehts are "be
fore" rather than "after" getting the
goods. The working girl who sight
for a handsome fur can go to a num.
ber of the big mercantile houses and
select the coat she likes, make an ini
tial payment and have it laid away
while she is completing a series oi
regular installments. When' she has
made the last she gets the coat.
Many of .the expensive fur coats
worn by working girls are bought by
girls who live at home with their par
ents, it is reported by furriers, and
they add that frequently assistance
is given f ronf father's pocketbook.
While "now or never" may be the
reason that leads many young women
on a salary to buy a fur coat, some
merchants say that the high prices
of other kinds of coats is a very im
portant factor in these purchases.
