MIDVALE, UTAH HOW WE CAN SAVE YOU ABOUT $7.75 ON EACH SUIT If we were selling such clothing as you see advertised in the weekly magazines with their brand on same and had to buy from the traveling man and help pay his expenses and railroad fare and only bought about ten suits at a time, we would have to charge you the same as the small clothier. But we go direct to the factory, have two of the best clothing men Work Should Not Be Undertaken Solely in Order to Provide the Work By WILLIAM B. WILSON, Secretary of Labor 2JW l'njier. We are short in our normal supply of labor somewhere between three million end five million workers : so if we could engage in our prewar activities on a postwar basis immediately there would be a shortage of the supply of labor. But we ere not in a position to do at the postoffice at Midvale, that. OTTSB HAD STATiJfijASSOClATlW A MESSAGE FROM LOWER DOWN Everywhere, the world is wailing1 and humanity acting: as if On every day is heralded the news of a new catasit were trophe, and the hopes of millions vanish with the setting: of every sun. Confusion is earned on the wings of every wind and strife stalks, unconquered, throughout the land. Mentality has succumbed to the wiles of mammon and is staking its all on the turn of a single card. And isnt it more than passing strange that the most "advanced representative of the animal kingdom makes the most mistakes? that the human is more given to imperfection than are the fishes of the sea, the birds of the air or the beasts of the field? that the species with consciousness conceives so magnificently of himself and so slovenly of his brothers below? and that the critter created in the image of God is the most susceptible of all to the sad, sad "solace! of Satan? Indeed, man is the only organism living a lie while he boasts of the sorry fact; he is the only flesh that paves his way to hell eternally, and eternally takes pride in the process thereof. Pompously, he throws his birthright to the winds, scorns the freedom of the jungle and, with an eye upon "Utopia," fashions the fetters which iwairA him slave. Then, when the shackles gall unmercifully, when the chains that bind begin to blister, he throws himself upon the infirmities of the society which he has helped to deprave, and pleads and prays for his comrades to come to his rescue. A senator calls a switchman a robber an outlaw ; somebody yells "Liar. The milk man makes it eight for a dollar instead of ten ; "the packers are hogging it all; "Gompers is a traitor to the cause of labor; "everybody is a profiteer; "down with the present system and up with something else and I dont give a damn what it is While the fishes are happy in water And the meadow lark sings in the air, A pauper gives birth to a daughter And Dickie cries out for more fare. Oh, twas a fatal day when Cerebrum and Cerebellum decided to ascend asunder the trail of fickle Time; but the great spark had descended and the road to Utopia had been conceived. Butchers bills were not in the bargain, and Bolshevism was far from darkening the future horizon. Optimism was the password and naught but the blessings of progress beckoned the world to move on. But as for me I decided to stick to Cerebellum and to leap from branch to branch in the primeaval blissfulness of unconscious content. Indeed, I was suspicious of the new fangleism, as a cur is suspicious of the kid that kicks it. Something of the tadpole told me to beware of the call of mentality broke loose; so I clung to the meat of the cocoanut, while I tailed from tree to tree. And "far from the maddening crowd I capriced in the Bunshine of my lower world. True, there were dark days and stormy ones, and ever and anon the chill winds from Labrador came down to tickle and to tease my unshaved hide. But darkness brought rest to my eyelids. The clouds made the dearness more dear; And snowflakes to me were as orchids, Falling from heaven each year. And for this reason it is that the profits of Percy prick me not; and that the conceptions of modern philosophers fill me not with gorgeous expectations of an early dawn. In humble humility, I walk like a lamb to his water, or as a lion after his loin. In the mighty tempestuousness of conservatism and middleism and radicalism, mine is the blissful serenity of moonlight nights, in which fragrant breezes waft to my nostrils the odors of an eternal 1 joy.

To place men at work on any job, where the results from it are not needed, is just so much waste of time and energy and man power. But there is a tremendous amount of work, a tremendous amount of improvement that is needed; and so that the minds of our workers will not be fertile fields for the propagation of false philosophy it is our duty to see to it that these activities are now engaged in to the fullest extent H.F.

What they will prefer and what the nation would give them is work which will add new wealth to the worlds store. Our government possesses millions of acres of arable land. It haa millions more that can be reclaimed and made arable. I advocate the opening up of this government land, its apportionment among soldiers who wish to enter into productive work. The stimulation of the work of production will provide much other work, and employment ia in itself a panacea for most national ills.

And there is great necessity for our people being busily employed during that which be will one of the most critical in the history of our nation. period, Now during the past two or three years our public improvements have lagged. Our federal government has not engaged in the usual public improvements; neither have the state governments nor the municipalities. There were two reasons for that; the shortage of workmen and the inability to properly finance, because of the control that the federal government had to have over finances in order to make sure that its own financial situation would be secure. Both of those conditions have changed, and there is now a surplus of labor, and the federal government has released control of the finances so that credits are now available. To me the one great method of forming a reservoir for buffer employment is to have the federal government engage in its normal improve ment activities, and to have every state and municipal government do possible to obtain that visits the best factories in the United States every week and have nothing else to do but to see that our suits are made the very best and have the very best of tailoring on same. You do not have to help pay this immense advertising bill, say of $5000 in one issue which you do have to help pay in making your purchases from the small dealer. We go direct to the factory, pay spot cash, take every discount possible to obtain and give the wearer the advantage of our close buying. This is something the small dealer cannot do as they buy in such small quantities that they have to charge you about $7.75 more on each and every suit they handle. Last year we sold in the string of stores about 60,000 suits consequently saving our customers about $7.75 on an average on every suit. We have the newest and niftiest line of clothing in Midvale and can guarantee to save you the above on any good suit d, ELECTRIC CLEANER RIGHT IN YOUR OWN HOME Why rely on the dustraising, arm and back tiring broom, when such a machine will enable you to clean thoroughly without the least work?
