FEW BUSINESS FAILURES Whatever business men may say about the difficulties they experienced last year, it was certainly a good year for business. They may complain about it, but the facts refute their pesimism. The record of business failures is a more trustworthy index than the personal opinion of any man or group of men. When business is bad there, are many bankruptcies. When business Is good there are few.

Bradsfreet's report of the failures for the first 10 months of last year, shows that there were fewer failures during that time than for any similar period in the last 19 years. The failures recorded for 1919 numbered only 4726. The nearest approach to this low figure was In the first 10 months of 1903, when there were 7804 failures. Morever, the total liabilities of bankrupt firms last year were the smallest for 19 years With the exception of the year 1902, though business operations are now generally on a much larger scale than they used to This low rate of failures is of course, merely negative evidence of business prosperity. But anyone who dos not consider it conclusive can easily substantiate it by reports of earnings in nearly all lines of business.

There Is little doubt of -what the income tax returns will show. And there is nothing to indicate any worse fortune this year, provided business men keep their heads. NEVER HAD A CHANCE By B. Ogden Chisholm In "Higher Humanity" official publication of the American League F.or the Prevention of Legalized Crime. Born in a dirty, reekin' Where decent sunlight never come, An' starved for food, an' starved for air.

Thru all my years of boyhood there, while eveil things an' low an' mean. Ol "Course, I growed to be a tough, A hoodlum and a bad young rough. WHILE THE SAVING'S GOOD This is, of all times, the time to practice thrift. There is no better way to do it than to make a habit of purchasing thrift stamps or war sav-nigs stamps, or putting a definite sum In the bank, as regularly as the family buys meat or groceries. The mere fact of laying by a definite Sum, no matter how small, with unfailing regularity, is in itself a powerful stimulant for thrift all along the line.

Morever it is far easier now, with all the high prices, to squeeze out A dollar a week or five dollars a week for savings than it will be when prices fair, because then income will probably fall with them. Figure it out for yourself: Income, say, $50 a week, and $45 the minimum living requirement saving, $5 a week If we get back to the "good old times" of before the war, and cut things in two: Income $25 a week and $22.50 to live on saving $2.50. The average family can save twice as much out of Its Income now as it could a few years ago. And that money, saved, may buy twice as much hereafter as It will now.

AMERICAN LEGION NOT AGAINST ORGANIZED LABOR Commander Franklin Dolier's Letter Defining Relations Existing With Labor Union Members In view of the uncertainty which seems to exist in the minds of many ex-service men and others as to the stand of the American Legion on union labor, the natinoal commander, Franklin EPOlier has issued a letter all pocsts, stating clearly the position of the Legion on this subject: This statement from the national commander should clear up any doubts on this subject and may be accepted as the Legion's position on thpr matter. Mr. D'Olier's letter is as follows: "The Attitude of the American Le gion towards organized labor is exactly the same as its attitude toward all grpous cmfw rdt hrde rtr dtd tfr all groups of American citizens who are inteested in a square deal for ail in the maintenance of law and order and the protection of the institutions, handed down as follows: "For God and country, we associate ourselves together for the fol lowing: To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; 16 foster and perpetuate a one-hundred per cent Americanism to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both he classes and the masses, to make right the master of might, to promote peace and good will on earth to safeguard and transmit to prosperity the principals of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness. "The purpose of the American Legion is two-fold service to our comrades' we will exert all of our influence and all of our strength to the end that the ex-service man especially the disabled man and his dependents and the dependers of those, who paid the supreme sacrifice, shall receive that just an fair treatment which they have reason to expect from a patriotic and liberal country.

Tn serving our country we shall endeavor to keep alive that spirit of" service which induced us all to respond to our country's call in the time of her need even to the extent of being willing td pay the su-preme sacrifice. And this we propose doing by assisting in the maintenance of a hundred per cent4 Americanism based on a fair and a square d'eal for alL "The members of organized labor are patriotic American citizens and the members of the American Legion are patriotic American citizens who have proven their patriotism and ther. loyalty. Consequently, on the purposes of the American Legion both they and we are in accord. Many of our most loyal members are members of organized lobar, and it is our hope that we may be able to convince every ex-service man who is a member of organized labor that our purposes are the same as loyal citizens and that every exservice man in organized labor will join the American Legion.

All ex-service men wao are members of organized labor have proven their loyalty and their patriotism to the country and now appreciate their responsibilities as citizens and we therefore hope it will not be long before they all are active members of the American KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP Frank Hudson and Jimmy Keogh, two well known "Knights" of the catchel were calling on their friends the past week. ess CLADYS BROCKWEU.
