HOW TO GET A JOB
It is said to be hard to get a job,
but so many people have so much
enterprise that they get one under
most any condition.
A clothing salesman in Beloit, Wis.
recalls how he got his start. When
16 years old, he saw a suit in a store
window which he wanted, and he
went in and offered to work for the
suit. Such enterprise pleased the
store owner, he took the boy on, and
since then he has sold clothesto 15,-
000 of his home town people.
When some folks can’t see any
paying job, they offer to take "Mold
and work for anything an employer
can pay them, and sometimes they
work for nothing to show what they
can do. Anyone who shows such 2
love for work usually finds it.
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
NEW HOMES A YEAR
According to the Research De-
partment of the NRA, an annual
building volume of 800,000 residen-
tial units is required to supply the
need for new dwellings. This takes
no account of replacement of exist-
ing sub-standard homes, and until
these are replaced the needed volume
could easily be at the rate of 2,000,-
000 structures a year.
A building revival could fall far
below these high limits, and still be
the most powerful of factors in fight
ing depression. No dollar we spend
does more work, in stimulating do-
mestic trade and providing employ
ment, than does the building dollar.
Surveys show that 37.3 per cent of
all the money spent goes to labor at
the site—to excavators, graders, car-
penters, masons, plumbers, plaster-
ers, etc. The balance of 627 per
cent goes to buy needed materials
and supplies and the great bulk of
that is paid to workers in the plants
and factories manufacturing them. In
general, about eighty cents out of
each dollar goes to labor, directly or
indirectly. y
The heavy industries—those sup-
plying manufactures as steel,
lumbel, cement—were hit hardest by
hard times. They are facing the
gravest difficulties in recovering
from them. Spurring the construction
would do much to solve a legion of
our most troublesome problems.
AN ASSURED FARM FUTURE
The Cooperative Division of the
Farm Credit Administration reports
that a million more animals were
handled by farmers cooperative sales
agencies operating on terminal live-
stock markets in 1933 than in 1932.
The value of the increase is placed
ut $7,000,000.
That record is similar to those as
made by other major cooperative
groups last year. The cotton produc-
ers, the dairymen, the fruit farmers
of various sections—all of them have
showed an increasing faith in the
necessity and efficacy of the coopera-
tive plan. And the result was, in a
disorganized and chaotic year, that
the American agriculturist made gen
uine progress in building for a pros-
perous future.
Cooperation is the keystone of the
agriculture—precisely as it has been
the keystone of industry for many
vears. All the government relief in
the world, no matter how well inten
tioned and how expertly administer-
ed, can be of but temporary benefit.
It can aid—but it cannot cure prob-
lem. It may carry farmers over the
lean periods—but it cannot assure
fat ones. The cooperatives are per-
manent. They are unaffected by the
political considerations. They do not
go out of business with a change of
administration. They are here to
stay—and their work never stops,
never wavers.
Farmers should make 1934 the re-
cord ‘cooperative year.’ They should
leyally support their organizations,
and seek to enlist new members. Do-
ing that means money in their pock-
ets—and it means that real farm re-
covery is on the way.
GOVERNMENT AND THE CO-
OPERATIVES
When it comes to helping the far-
mer, the government can pursue no
more effective course than to work
with and for the farmer-owned and
controlled cooperative associations.
That is the opinion of many agri-
cultural economists, and of officials
in the Department of Agriculture and
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin-
istration. And Mr. Roosevelt has said
substantially the same thing many
times.
It is better to help a person do a
thing for himself than simply to do
it for him—and that applies to the
farmers and everyone else. The coop-
eratives are here to stay. They do
got change with administrations and
ies and shifts in political senti-

ORIGIN OF SLANG
ected mosquitoes.
William H. Davis, of Stanford uni-
versity is right in his deductions. Dr.
Davis, who is said to be in favor of
use of slang, because it adds color
to the language, believes that “fight-
ing tooth and nail” and ‘gouging
between the eyes” originated back in
the days of the cave man. Of course,
“draw a long bow” and ‘shot his
bolt” must have had their origin
back in the days of chivalry while
“flash in the pan” and “quick on the
trigger’ came a little later with the
invention of firearms. So the mod-
ern generations are merely carrying
on by coining such phrases as
“Where’s Elmer” and “Come up to

ciples are concerned. It is
for the long pull, and not for
porary emergencies.
It is an encouraging fact that the
federal government is constantly
seeking to strengthen the position of
the cooperatives. It is working with
them in its acreage reduction pro-
gram, and the cooperative leaders
have been freely consulted when the
farm legislation and policies were be-
ing considered. The fine progress the
co-ops have made during depression
in the face of great obstacles, is the
most encouraging sign on the agri-
cultural horizon.
INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL
FIRE SAFETY
On every side one hears of new
efficiency in industry. In such a
regime there is no place for fire, the
AND
great waster of lives, materials and
time. This is a particularly good
time of the year to consider ways
of banishing fire from industry. The
stir of spring is in the air, people
are beginning to clean up and paint
up their property and beautify their
premises. In industry there is a
very definite place for such activities
and they should go much further
than when limited to private dwell-
ings. In addition to the usual in-
spection for common fire hazards,
there should be a careful search for
special hazards peculiar to the man-
ufacturing processes of the business.
In order to minimize the possibil-
ity of fire, it is best to formulate a
set of rules for the guidance of the
concern’s employes. These should be
prominently displayed and explained
to all, and any infraction prdmptly
dealt with. In addition, it is worth-
while to organize the employes for
the purpose of preventing and fight-
ing fires on the premises. Employes
may be trained in handling a limited
amount of fire fighting equipment to
extinguish or control fires until the
local fire department can arrive at
the scene.
The “spring clean-up” idea has
been highly successful in banishing
fire. It is a worthwhile project in
which our town might well engage.

SUGGESTIONS
By ANN PAGE
KE season is advancing su rapidly
that every locality is beginning to
have its own early spring produce.
Beginning with the first dandelion
greens, rhubarb, asparagus, spinach,
radishes and young onions follow
each other in rapid succession until
summer is in full swing.
Fruits are plentiful. Though the
season is closing on grapefruit, can-
taloupe are arriving to replace them,

IMMORTALIZED in story and song, the old “corner
store” has passed—along with the free potato on the
kerosene can, and the customers’ access to the crack-
er-box. It was picturesque, but you never quite knew
what you would find there. Half the time it was full
of people who didn’t know what they wanted. The
other half, it was empty. It was more of a club than a
store.
Today, when you enter your grocery store—or any
store—you know what you want, how much you want
of it, and the price you are going to pay. Advertising
has rendered you this service. It brings you weekly
through the columns of The Bulletin, the merchan-
dising opportunities of this community. In the quiet
of your own home, you are enabled to select every-
thing you want to buy!
