Inflation And Real

Viewed By Babson COMMUNITY
By ROGER W. BABSON
WASHINGTON, D. Cr, June 25.—There iteema to be an
much miiiunderMtanding about inflation an there ia about
. .v . ■_ ... rubber and gasoline. Even the Washington Bureaus appear to
cut Xd * and^rr^ r’ilan* <>ut iM8Ue contradictory Htatementa. It may be that these Depart-
ments get their tenses mixed up, referring .to the present or
past rather than the future. Therefore, let me first straighten '
readers out on this subject.
Will We Have Inflation?
W.e-jpyMiL m?ttaihly will have in-
flation. . If it doesn’t come during
the war, It will come after the war.
i Inflation is like a stream of. water,
. J you can’t dam it up forever. Build-
ing a dam does not destroy the
wster in the stream. The darn
holds back the water for only a
limited time and then the water|
flows over it. The work of Leon
Henderson, for whom 1 have great |
respect, is preventing inflation at
the present time; but he is damn-
ing the water without destroying

them for their government as a
patriotic duty. Every time a lo-
cals bank sells a bond the bank
loses money. Because It takes
the time of paid etnployes to sell
the bonds and keep the multitu-
dinous records thereby entailed.
But the banks are glad to make
thia sacrifice. It costs all of
them at least $50 or $100* a
month apiece to handle these
bonds. But our banks 'are not
-grumbling. They know that If
the bonds are not sold the war
will be lost, and that If the w«'
is lost, all is lost. So they arj
going about the Job as best they
can. For their sacrifice, we all
owe the banks of the county a
debt of ggntitvde.
Washington county has done
an excellent Job in bringing In
scrap rubber, but it, is believed;
thefe are many tons la(t In the
homes' vn the farms, tau abo&t
business places that should be
gathered up and put back into
circulation as reclaimed rubber.
So the suggestion was made to-
day that Boy Scouts of the
county make a house to house
canvass to gather whatever rub-
ber there is left. By so doing,
the boys not only would ba- do-
ing a good turn for the govern-
ment and the soldier beys In the
field, but they would have an
opportunity to realize a/ neat
sum for their troop treasuries
which can alwaya stand a little
help. What about it( Boy
Scouts?

Perhaps no oqa group ha* en-
tered into the spirit of the Civi-
lian Defense work with greater
spirit than have the negroes of
Washington county. They have
been particularity active in
learning first aid to the injured,
as revealed in the following ar-
ticle by their Instructor, C.M.M.
Bowen, registered nurse, from
Prairie View:
First Aid is the immediate
primary thing done in case of
an accident or sudden illness.
Every adult should know some-
thing about this branch of ser-
vice, whether it be in the time
Of peace or war.
The colored citizens of Wash-
ington County are rallying to
the cause with unlimited enthu-
siasm. They show their appreci-
ation of the opportunity to learn
ftast aid -iy lending classes
regul&rily and in sizable groups.
In spite of the fact that field
work Is pressing they are will-
ing to sacrifice two or three
hours each week for class work.
They are anxious to learn first
aid in order to be able to assist
in case of an air attack on thia
county.
It is my personal belief that

WASHINGTON COUNTY USO CHAIRMAN
BRENHAM, TEXAS ' -
HOUSTON, Texas, June 24.—Our USO campaign is at
a critical stage, with only nine more dafyu -iw which to see
that Texas goes over the top and meets its obligation to the
men in service and to the nation. We in Texas have an un-
usual responsibility in this matter because Texas is host tp
much more money here than we are being asked to contribute,
much more money her than we are being asked to contribute.
As county chairman and leader in this campaign, you realize
the important work that United Service Organizations will
do to maintain .the morale of our soldiers and sailors at the
high standard necessary for America to win this war. You
have the patriotic duty to give every person in your area
an opportunity to contribute to this organization. Knowing
that everyone in your county wants the hundreds of men
who have gone into the war from your area to be given the
best possible care within the power of the USO, we feel con-
fident that your county will make a good showing. Reports
received thus far show you have made progress toward
raising your quota, but we will appreciate immediate reply
by wire of all money now raised and also your estimate of the
per cent of your quota which can be filled by July Fourth.
