paigns waged here" to increase food production have netted big results which have benefitted the farmer as well as the entire business world.
Keep the Children in School
It is a fact established by statistics that the boy who quits school at fourteen gains very little financially during the next two years, so that the years between fourteen and sixteen, unless they are spent at schoolare lost. Juvenile workers
between fourteen and sixteen are not wanted in the industries because they have little or no manual skill which would appeal to an employer. To save these two wasted years, the vocational and cultural courses in the high schools have been instituted. Statistics show that every day spent in school pays the child more than $9. Uneducated laborers earn on the average of $500 a year for forty years, a total of $20,000. High school graduates earn on the average of $1,000 a year for forty years, a total of $40,000. This education required twelve years of school of 180 days each, a total of 2,160 days in school. If every 2,160 days at school add $20,000 to the in
come for life then everv dav at school adds more
than $9. No child between fourteen and sixteenTand the salvae departments of the army and
years of age can earn $9 a day. These figures which were compiled by a metropolitan newspaper are based on statistics five years agd. Today of course, the figures would be much higher. Will any one, in the light of these figures, deny that high school education is a farce or a failure? Must not every keen witted boy and conscientious parent admit that in the long run it pays to keep the children in school o obtain that preparation for life which is of assistance not only mentally but also financially?
Disposal of War Material
It is estimated that there is about $1,000,000,-
000 of merchandise, suitable for civilian use, now in the hands of the government for which it has
no need. Two methods may be used in disposing
of it. -- One is to destroy; the merchandise which would be criminal in view of the general shortage of material. The other, proposal , is to sell it on the open market which also would be ruinous for it would tend to unsettle the business world. Representative Snyder of New York has introduced a bill in the house which provides that, with the exception of material which is perishable, the government would not in any one fiscal year offer for sale within the United States more than 20 per cent of the merchandise or supplies it owns by reason of the war. Among some of the merchandise on hand, Representative Snyder calls attention to 125,000,000 shirts and drawers, both wool and cotton. If this were dumped on the market, it would paralyze the business on knit goods for a year. Again, nearly $100,000,000 worth of general hardWare is owned by the government, and if this were sold at one time, it is reasonable to suppose that the hardware business would be seriously
crippled. ' Representative Snyder's bill has merit in it,

Feeding the World The United States is now literally feeding the world, according to figures collected by the National City Bank of New York. The bank's compilation showed that the value of foodstuffs sent out of this country in 191? amounted to more than two billion against an average of less than five hundred million in 1913. These figures are interesting because they prove that the cam-

Father and Son Week
From the Dayton Journal.
URING the week of February 11 to 17, the T. M.
C. A. will observe "Father and Son Week" throughout the country. The purpose of the week Is to
foster a better understanding between father and son, both in the home and in religious, social and business life. "Dad" is usually a first-class chap, but few sons appreciate him, because they never learn to know him. When they are young, they fear him and never learn how to think of him as a fellow worker. When they grow older, they think of him as a "pretty good fellow," but they turn elsewhere to seek companions, because they feel there are others who respond better to their own ideas. And when dad is gone, they find out what a good friend they might have had. Father and son ought always to be the best of com
panions, each understanding the other. Each ought to)
find true comradeship in the other's friendship. Dad would never grow old then and son would escape many cf life's pitfalls.

Buys Huge Plane Fleet to Develop Commerce by Routes Through the Sky
NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (Special) Canada is to be the first country which will practice commercial aviation on a great scale, says Roy U. Conger of thi3 city, who is going to direct the enterprise, and who, by a spectacular deal, has bought a great number of machines and engines and an enormous quantity of equipment. Express matter will be carried, passengers will be transported, mail (if the Canadian government so wishes) will be taken through the skies, and it is also likely that forest rangers will patrol above the great woods of the Dominion, and the famous northwest mounted police may cover their territory In leather bucket seats aloft Instead of astride of horses. When the news came out about Mr. Conger's immense purchase of flying material, every one interested In aviation wanted to know what he intended to do with it. For a sum which he declines to mention, Mr. Conger obtained all the ' equipment of the royal air force which happened to be In Canada. This included S50 Curtis JN4 airplanes (the type on which military flyers here and in the Dominion were trained), 1,000 Curtiss engines of the OX-90 h. p. type, hundreds .of propellers, wings and fuselages, and thousands of spare parts. The total value of all this, it was said, was about $10,000,000, though Mr. Conger of course did not pay anything like that sum for it. "I will not say what was paid, but I feel certain the future will prove we got a bargain," he said, speaking for himself and his associates. "I cannot give exact plans yet, either," Mr. Conger explained, "because I got into the thing in such a hurry that there was no time to make exact arrangements for anything. But in a general way, we are going in for commercial aviation. Every one knows commercial aviation is coming, but I believe it is coming very quickly. Before long there will be a lot of people wondering why they didn't get into it in time. "As soon as we assemble the stock we will take an inventory and then begin to lay out aerial routes and ar
range landing fields. We will start with light express matter, and later take passengers. Then, too, we may be able to carry the mail for the Dominion government. Business men in Canada have assured me of their cooperation and will aid us in interesting the government. "There will be no difficulty about flyers. Canada sent overseas more
e
ROY C. CONGER. than 2,600 aviators, ano most of these will be returning within the next few months. Then, too, there are flyers in Canada who did not get across, and also expert mechanics." "Will your operations spread to the United States?" Mr. Conger was asked. "Of course," he replied. "We expect the Canadian operation to be such a quick and assured success that we will be able to conduct our business here before a great length of time."
iences at the front. 'I suppose,' ventured a wide-eyed debutante, 'that yon must have had some very narrow escapes.' "'Nothing to speak of,' said Jenkins; "but I remember one night when I felt like having a drink, so I goes down to the estaminet. I'd just got my hand on the door knob when old Fritz sent over one of his big ones, and it landed right on the house. " 'And believe me, it blew the whole shebang to pieces and left me standing there, silly like, with the door knob in my mitt." One evening when little Mary had fractured one of the rules governing table behavior she was removed from the 'family board and made to eat her dinner at a little table in a corner. Her presence was ignored by the other members of the family. After a period of silence the family heard her giving thanks. "I thank thee, Lord, for preparing for me a table in the presence of mine enemies." And that was the last time that Mary ate away from the family table.
NEW TYPE OF SODA FOUNTAIN INVENTED Now that the whole country is going dry, and while soda water is jumping out of its swaddling clothes in a really great, big future, along comes a brand new type of soda fountain, something that will put the punch into a merchant's soda water business, and, last but not least, greatly please his patrons. It's a "practical" white soda fountain, that is, having white Interior or working parts, looks clean, is easy to clean and easy to keep clean. Many attempts have been made to produce a soda fountain with white interionr, by using covering made of enameled iron, sheet celluloid, crockery-ware, etc., but finally one of the largest builders of soda water fountains in the whole country, the Walrus Manufacturing Company, of Decature,
Illinois, has brought out the genuine article. It is called the Walrus
"White-Iceless," a very appropriate name, because it surely is white, and also it t an iceless apparatus. Even the dispensing devices that pump the syrups can be furnished in white finish. Soda water Is the national beverage. Everybody likes some of the good things sold at soda fountains. It's a business that is growing by leaps and bounds and any merchant who
fortifies himself with a Walrus "White-Iceless," soda fountain will be paving the way to a big business, combined with the satisfaction that comes from having highly pleased customers. Adv.

Creates New Flesh, Strength and Energy In Two Weeks' Time In Many Instances. New York Physicians and druggists all over the country have been Intensely Interested in reports concerning: the nerve and strength-building- properties of Bitro-Phosphate, discovered by the French scientist. Pelouz. and later so successfully used and introduced to the medical world by Professor Robin, of the Academy of Medicine, Paris. It Is said that the constituent elements of Bitro-Phosphate are the nearest in composition to the materials naturally found In the nerve cells of the human body of any known substance, and that it furnishes an immediate supply of food and energy to the nervous fcystem as sow as it Is taken. Frederick Kolle, M. D.. Kdltor of New York Physicians' ; "Who's Who," says: "Bitro-Phosphate should be prescribed by every doctor and used In every hospital to Increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood." Joseph D. Marrigan, former Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dispensatory, says: "Let those who are nerv
ous, thin, weak, or run down, take a natural, unadulterated substance such as Bitro-Phosphate, and you will soon see some astonishing results in the Increase of nerve energy, strength of body and mind and power . of endurance." Those who are Inclined toward nervousness, thinness, weakness, nervous debility, sleeplessness, etc., will greatly appreciate the opportunity to secure such certain relief and aid as Is afforded by this discovery. In order that the public may always be saved from deception, it has been arranged that the laboratories bottling Bitro-Phosphate will sell it under no other name in this country, and nothing else should be accepted. Very complete Information relating to its use in the treatment of nervous disorders is contained In every package, so that it may be understood and correctly applied by anyone. So certain is it to assist those who are nervous to regain their health and vitality that the manufacturers guarantee to refund its cost to any who are dissatisfied after using It. It is eold by Conkey Drug Co. In Richmond and most all good druggists. Adv.
The Welfare Loan Movement This is the first of a series of talks on The Welfare Loan Move ment, which has the hearty endorsement of all civic and economic forces in the country. The Welfare Loan Movement is an acknowledged success proven by years of phenomenally successful operations. There are at present over forty such societies in this country and all of them are reported to be giving a vast amount of help to the poor of their community and as paying good dividends and earning large surpluses. In all the history of these semi-philanthropic institutions there has never been a failure. The reason of this is apparent when the nature of the business is carefully considered. No perishable materials are accepted as security; the business of the society comes practically to its doors and there is no competitive hustle for trade as in commercial lines ; there are practically no bad debts to charge off every year as each loan is absolutely guaranteed and secured for the full amount and the expenses of management are very low. The American League of Welfare Loan Societies is organized for the purpose of remedying the evils of the small loan business, maintaining higher standards of the business and for the protection of the rights and interests of investors in such societies. Only one Welfare Loan Society is licensed in each county and the books and accounts of the society are regularly audited and checked up under authority of the American League of Welfare Loan Societies. This protects the investor, the borrower and the entire community. (This series of advertisements is authorized by the American League of Welfare Loan Societies, of which the Welfare Loan Society of Richmond Is the only member In Wayne County.)
