MOE, Editor THE TIME FOR PLANNING Now that inventories are over, it is time for local merchants to look ahead and plan for the coming season II and the rest of the year. Take a good look at your store, Mr. Merchant, and see if a little paint here and there would immesasurably improve appearances. A re-ar rangement of the interior often helps to give that air of newness that is always pleasing to the fussy customer. Now is also the time to plan the advertising bud get for the coming year. John Wanamaker said, “A merchant’s advertising bill should not be less than his rent bill.” Think it over, Mr. Merchant, and then plan your advertising campaign so that it will be most ef fective. Ik Í It TO COLLECT INSURANCE According to a story reported from Long Island, there is no limit to what an arsonist will do to accom plish his purpose. The fire criminal has always been con- sided a low type, but when it comes to pouring gasoline on a horse tied in a stall and applying a match, he ap parently is stooping to new levels. In the case referred to, firemen were called to a certain farm at midnight where they found a burning barn. Learning that a horse was inside, the firemen went in to save it and saw that although the fire was just gaining headway in the barn, the horse was so badly burned it was a wonder a spark of life still remained. They had to shoot the animal. Efforts to save the barn were not successful; it was a complete loss. The conditions attending the fire appeared suspic ious so the farmer was questioned. It was learned that he had insurance of $100 on the barn and $50 on the horse. Under examination the farmer finally admitted that he had started the fire and in order to divert sus picion he had conceived the idea of igniting the horse, as ordinal ily this would be the most unlikely origin of an incendiary fire. Fire statistics show that arson fires cost the nation $2,000,000 annually. The activities of the fire criminal are being fought through arson squads and fire and police departments under the leadership of state fire marshals, and if the movement is backed up by an arous ed public opinion, there should be a decrease in losses of life and property «from this class of fire.—Manufac turer.

Machine wrapp “ “ Case ed. 1 Ounce Bottle Free « FIFTY YEARS OF CRIME Some time ago Clarence Darrow, on being asked about our crime problem, said that “during my half- century of practice, society has made no material ad vance in treatment of crime and the criminal.” His opinion is in striking contrast with the ac tivities of reformers who spend much of their time de vising “cures” for the disease of crime. In that half century of which Mr. Darrow speaks, thousands of criminal laws have gone on the statute books. Panaceas have been offered, and many of them accepted. And yet crime continues and flourishes. Ev ery new law passed means more law-breaking. The number of people, for example, who have been made law-breakers by such ordinances as those design ed to prevent ownership of revolvers and pistols, can not be estimated. Yet such laws are proposed to “pre vent” crime. But who ever heard of a criminal paying any attention to an anti-gun law? An anti-automobile law would be as sensible, on the theory that if automo biles were taken away from all law-abiding citizens, the criminal would thereby be deprived of their use in his depredations. Mere multiplicity of laws do not deter the criminal. He will have his gun and his automobile though the statute books sag with enactments forbidding him those commodities. “Freak” laws make all laws less respected. We need fewer laws but with sharper teeth to pun ish criminals, if we wish to check crime; not more laws to destroy rights and privileges of law abiding citizens. •—Manufacturer. We hear this question asked almost every day— most frequently about this time of year. Budgeting household expenses and then living within the budget is no small task. Nevertheless, it most decidedly is worth while. In our daily contact with and service to hundreds of thousands of families throughout the west, we have a wonderful opportunity to study this question. It is our observation that—aside from those families having unusually large incomes—the most i successful * ’ and ‘ contented are __ those ____ who ‘ budget „i. their expenditures and adhere to their plans as rigidly ’ “j as circumstances will permit.
