Forest EsteB Lyman . Mead Carolyn Reed News Editor GEORGE W. NEWTON For This Issue THE PIGGLY WIGGLY STORES The Piggly Wiggly stores sound as if their origin was Mother Goose. But in fact they originated in Memphis, Tenn., and there is far more in the idea that they represent than the name implies. When a customer goes into a Piggly Wiggly grocery Btore she usually car ries a basket and, if not, she can get one inside. Once within she Is con fronted with shelves and bins of gro ceries in packages with prices plainly marked, but no clerks to wait on her She merely takes what she wants and puts it in her basket. The way out, and the only way out, is by the cashier, who looks at her purchases and takes her money. There is no delay, no wrapping unless the buyer does it, no delivery, no clerks, and no clerks expense. The customer gets her goods quickly and cheaply. The store does its business efficiently and cheaply. The Piggly Wiggly stores sell at lower prices than normal grocery stores. When this is compared to the nor mal 12 to 20 per cent of expense neces sary in the conduct of the ordinary grocery store, it becomes plain why the Piggly Wiggly grocery-cafeteria plan can reduce prices. The cost of producing what we eat, wear, and use is often not as great as the cost of selling these things to us. Most of our effort at economy has been expended on production. The bigger field for economy is in selling, and in this field the Piggly Wiggly stores are an interesting and hopeful experiment. World's Work. "Thrift stamps bearing no Interest are sold for 25 cents each. The pur chaser of thrift Btamps shall be fur nished without cost a thrift card tc which such stamps are affixed. The rnrd itself has no value. The name and address of the purchaser shall placed on the card at the time of issue. Thrift stamps shall not be cashed, but when sixteen thrift stamps, represent ing a total of f 4, are affixed to a thrift card, they may, with a cash payment of from 12 to 23 cents, be exchanged fnr n wnr-savlnes certificate. War- savings certificates may be registered at any postofflce of the first, second third class." or MILITARY NEWS THRIFT STAMPS The accomplishment, in this age, of anything worth while is no easy task. "We live in an age in which no achievement is to be cheaply had," President Wilson quite recently as serted in an address on "What College is For." "All cheap achievements open to amateurs, are exhausted and have become commonplace." Helping win the war is right now the most worth while task any of us has the chance to do. The most we can do or give is after all very little in comparison with -what others are doing and giving. The government needs money or it would not ask us to purchase thrift stamps. University students are receiving training that will enable them to re ceive higher salaries than they could have received If they had not come to college. Because so many have Joined the army or navy the demand for la"bor has been increased and wages have been raised. Men have joined the army or navy not because they expect to follow that profession, but because they have felt it their duty to enlist, Women are taking stenographic work or receiv ing training for nursing not because they expect to be professional stenog raphers or nurses, but because they have felt they were at the present time needed in the particular line of work. University students are not sacrific ing their time. Few have yet begun to economize. A Lincoln business man recently told a University professer that never before had the sale of luxuries been so great as it has been this year. Because it is difficult to change one's manner of living, to give up those luxuries" that ham become so common that they seem almost neces sities, 4s all the more reason Univer sity students should be willing to do it. Because it will mean a sacrifice to do one's share In the thrift stamp campaign Is all the more reason one ONLY 27 7 AMERICAN DEAD HAD WAR RISK INSURANCE Three Hundred and Twenty Killed In Service Had Not Applied for Protection Twenty Beven American soldiers have been killed in service who had taken out government life insurance for their families. Three hundred and twenty Ameri can soldiers have been killed in serv ice who had not taken out such poli cies for their families. The period during which men who have been in service since October 15 may get insured Is almost at an end. February 12 is the last day. The families of the 320 who died uninsured will receive an automatic Insurance from the government, but the irovernment would gladly have provided a much larger sum for them at a small cost Payments to the dependents of both classes began at once. Over four billion dollars of insur ance has thus far been written by the National War Risk Bureau, but- it covers only 473,118 men. The average is $6,479 each. Families of men who have not ap plied for insurance are urged to se cure blanks from the home service section of the nearest Red Cross with out a day's delay, fill them out and send them at once to their men to sign and send in. After February 12 it may be too late. There are 1,850 persons on the staff of the war risk bureau. All matters are acted on promptly by it. If appli cation for insurance mailed on or be fore February 12 reach it after the 120-day period is up, the mailing day will be the one considered. Families have the right to secure from the home service section of the nearest Red Cross insurance blanks, fill them out, all except the man's signature, and send them to him. This will save time in many cases.
