HOMES
“It should be every man's amid
tion to own his own home, in the
opinion of George M. Reynolds,
president of the Continental and
Commercial bank of Chicago, who
recently addressed a letter to the
department of labor, giving assur
ance of his support to the Own
Your Own Home movement. “In
realizing that ambition." the letter
says, “he will be providing for the
future of his family and himself.
He will be doing far more than
merely furnishing a roof over the
heads of those he loves; he will be
laying the foundation upon which
his children will build firmness and
nobility of character.
“A permanent residence in the'
home you own means the develop
ment of a higher type of citizen-!
ship, for the home owners have 1
pride in the community. They know ■
that the general standard of the!
community will be raised or low
ered by the interest or lack of
interest they take in civic affairs.
“Patriotic impulse prompts the
desire to own a home, and patriotic
duty calls for the building of
homes now, when the employment
of labor in that manner will do
much toward providing work for
the boys who are returning from
the front. Apparently not much
is to be gained by wraiting for a
decline in prices of building ma
terials, for authorities tell us it is j
impossible for prices to recede to!
any considerable extent in the face!
of costs of production, which are |
likely to continue without muchj
change for at least a year or two!
longer. In the meantime, rents are j
advancing and homes are becoming j
f very scarce. Nothing is more sure
to encourage thrift than the act of
acquiring a home. Thousands of
men who have had the experience
will vouch for the correctness >f
this statement.”
SUPPORT STEFANSSON
Telegraphic advices from Ottawa
to the effect that the minister of
the interior looks favorably on the
Stefansson recommendations for
reindeer, musk-ox and similar herds
for this territory is good news to
the Yukon, says the Dawson News.'
It means that the noted explorer
at last has succeeded in getting the
ear of the government on a new
line of development of herds in the
Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic, but
it has remained for* Stefansson to
arouse effective interest.
If the Stefansson explorations
and travels in the Arctic result in
nothing more than the establish
ment of these herds, and the de
velopment of the n^at producing in
dustries of such animals in North
ern Canada, all the advance of
money by Canada will have been
justified several times over.
Reindeer herds are among the
greatest assets of Alaska, Scandi
navia, Finland, Russia and Siberia.
Why should Canada be the one re-j
maining idle on these matters? Why
not have the greatest hinterland
of the Dominion made productive
of these great wool, hide and meat
!rtlcles?
While Mr. Meighen looks favor
s' le on this matter, an! Mr Stcf
ansson and Yrukon’s member ari in
Ottawa to vrge the case, it is timelv;
that Y ui cn lend e\w ounce of |
support she can. Yu.oii. bring
the nr.rst settled of any of the far!
I
nertnern divisions or Canada, will
be the first to benefit from the
Stefanscon plans., . T. s territory
extends to fhe Arctic coast. The
fast fcprds could be located on the
Arctic shores of this territory or
| farther inland. At least some of
| them could be assigned to this terri
| tory.
Serving in conjunction with these
; new stations no doubt will be the
i newly projected radio and airplane
'service of the Dominion. Yukon's
member is supporting these im
; provements. It will be more than
! timely for the Yukon council to
memorialize Ottawa right now. The
| iron is hot at Ottawa. Strike.

SALESMEN AND STORIES
—
‘ A news item carries the informa
| tion that the traveling salesmen in
| the United States are going to
organize, and hope to have a club
house 11 stories, or so, high, in
New \ork city. Their object will
be to make a concerted fight for
lower railroad fares and other ad
vantages to which they believe they
are entitled.
But the foregoing doesn't con
tain the most interesting feature
of the item, points out Ford’s Inter
national Weekly. The real kernel
of the piece of news is the fact
that there are 1,000,000 traveling
salesmen in the United States. It
would be a pleasant sort of pas- *
time to speculate on how many
"stories” those million traveling
men tell a day. Or one might i
refer to them as “drummers.” But
neither of these would be as close
to the truth as to say that the
story-telling traveling man exists
largely as a myth. Anybody who
knows him at all, or knows his
hkes and dislikes, doesn't call him
a “drummer,”—or a knight of the
grip.
For the traveling salesman is one
of the most strenuous types of our
national business men. The myth
that surrounded him with the story
telling, glad-hand habit is the same
sort of myth that used to have him
located in the bar buying drinks
for prospective customers. You
won’t find him in the bar. You
won’t hear him telling stories to any
great extent. Instead of glad
I handing and vocalizing his way
' through life, he is meeting his cus
tomers and his competitors on dig
1 nified ground.
EQUALIZING WORLD LABOR
CONDITIONS.
The draft of an international
treaty regulating labor conditions,
prepared by the international lab>r
commission which has been sitting
in Paris, should receive the vigor
ous support of the American repre
sentatives and our government, says
the Chicago Tribune. Whether it
can be adopted and enforced seems
to us a matter of doubt, but if it
is, American labor and American
commerce and industry will be'
greatly benefited.
The treaty provides for exactly
that leveling up to American stand
dards of the labor conditions of
the world. If this can be accom
plished the chief obstacle will be re
moved. That obstacle was the fact
that in world commerce America 's
competing with industries the labor
cost of which is lower than our own.
In California white men who eat
meat every day, work eight hours,
with time and a half for overtime,
and Saturday half holidays, are
competing with Japanese who live
on fish and rice and have no pre
dilection for leisure. Five or sis
Japanese work for what one Ameri
can earns, and competition is out
of the question. American com
merce goes into foreign markets
with this heavy handicap and there
is no help for it. If an internationr
! al treaty equalizing these conditions
can be adopted and made to stick,
American labor and commerce will
j enter upon a new era of progress
I and prosperity.
The humanitarian impulse sup
j porting the labor treaty, is strong
(and we hope the new democracies
! will put their full weight back of
the reform. And in this case
America’s material interest is paral
lel with her ideals of man’s ad
vancemer.t. ,
YANK SOLDIERS SEND
MANY SOUVENIRS HOME
COBLENZ—Soldiers of the Amer
ican army of occupation in the
region of Coblenz have been send
ing home more souvenirs recently
than at any previous time since the
Americans reached the Rhine. At
first these souvenirs consisted of
German helmets, iron crosses, bay
onets and other articles of war used
by the defeated army, but of late
jthe soldiers have been buying Ger
! man steins and other articles of
j pottery.
Within the American area on the
east bank of the Rhine there are
several pottery plants ■ihich have
been working overtime during the
past few weeks turning out souven
irs for the soldiers. All kinds of
pottery pieces are made, bearing
the soldier's name and unit, while
he watches the process of manu
facture. At the American post
office in Coblenz, officers estimate
that about sixty mail sacks of
souvenirs are shipped to the United
States every day.
