BRAVES TO BE KEPT AT HIGH SPEED TILL CLOSE OF SEASON
GRA YES IS HINDERED
 BY MINOR INJURIES

University, September So.-(Speeial) Minor injuries to varsity men are hinder ing Coach Graves from whipping his men into fighting trim for the opening game with Howard college Saturday afternoon. Captain Hubby Long is suffering with a pair of bad ankles. due to an injury received soon after practice was inaugu- rated; Sheep" Jones has a charley horse; Bill Harsh has sore shoulders; Jimmy Hicks a bum knee, while Charley Cargile is also complaining of bruised leg.
 All of these men on the injured list are regulars, and because of this the varsity lineup cannot be drilled as it ought. Coach Graves is having to proceed care- fully in order to conserve his talent as substitute material is scarce.
 The training table was started Tues day night with b players enrolled. Later the number will be increased to over 20, and these will be carried throughout the season. The warriors on the table at present are Captain Long, Bill Harsh, Joplin, Bates, Cobb. Love- Cargile, Vande- Graaff, Hicks, Roman, Jones, Miller Barnett Wells and Morton Bates, Cobb and Wells are the only non-letter men on the table.

TALKS ON THRIFT
THE SAVERS EASY CONSCIENCE

The American people spend a billion dollars year in senselss pleasures-in pleasures that do more harm than good. The waste of a billion for a good time may seriously retard the prosperity of the land."-L. P Behrens, president Cali fornia Bankers association.
 Head of the household. can you face your family with an easy conscience when you go home at night?
 As you look around the supper table and think of the future, as well as the pres- ent, requirements of those who depend upon you, what kind of a feeling does it give you? Suppose you were suddenly called by death. how would they be left as to money resources?
 You cannot vindicate your right to be called the protector of your wife and chil- dren unless you extend your protection into that unknown future in which you may have no living part. For if you were not here tomorrow the needs of your de- pendent family for food, clothing, shell ter, education, possibly for expensive medical treatment, would be the same as they are today.
 
 the savings bank regularly, insure your life and be on the lookout for good. safe investments for your savings as they ac- cumulate.
 It makes you shudder to think of all that might happen if you were to pass away without having made proper pro- vision for the dear ones you would leave behind.
 Then waste no time in taking the proper steps to secure this protection which is expected of you and concerning which your conscience will give you no peace until 1t is provided.
 The man who has built up good bank account from part of his earnings can go home after his days work and greet his loved ones with smile because he knows that they are safe, no matter what hap pens to him.
 Is it not better for them to go without some luxuries and pleasures now for the sake of keeping up systematic plan of saving than 1t would be for them to have everything they want today with the pos sibility ai lacking everything tomorrow should misfortune come to the breadwin- ner? T, D. MACGREGOR.

do not wish to curtail the activities
of this government; they wish,
rather, to enlarge them; and with
every enlargement with the mere
growth, indeed. of the country itself.
there must come, of course, the in
eyitable increase of expense.
The nation is not niggardly; it
is very generous. 1t will chide us
only if We forget for whom we pay
money out and whose money It is we
pay.
1t is said in some quarters that we
are not prepared for war. What is
meant by being prepared? Is 1t
meant that we are not ready upon
brief notice to put a nation in the
field, a nation of men trained to
arms? OF course, We are not ready
to do that; and we shall never be in
time of peace so long as we retain
our present political principles and
institutions. And what is 1t that It
is suggested we should be prepared
to do? To defend ourselves against
attack? We have always found
means to do that, and shall find
them whenever 1t is necessary with
out calling our people away from
their necessary tasks to render com
pulsory military service in times OF
peace.
We are at peace with all the
world
We are, indeed true friend to
all the nations of the world, be
cause we threaten none, covet the
possessions of none, desire the over
throw of none. Our friendship can
be accepted and is accepted without
reservation, because II Is offered In
spirit and for purpose which no
one need ever question or suspect.
From the first we have had clear
and settled policy with regard to
military establishment. We never
have paid and while we retain our
present principles and ideals we
never shall have large standing
army. II asked, are you ready TO
defend yourselves? we reply. most
assurodly. to the utmost; and yet
we shall not turn America into n
military camp. We will not ask
our young men 20 spend the best
years OF their lives making soldiers
OF themselves.
We have not been negligent OF
national defense. We are not un.
mindful OF the great responsibility
resting upon us We shall learn
md profit by the lesson OF every ex
pericnce and every new clrcum
stance; and what Is needed will b,
adequately done.

PRESIDENT WILSON DECLARES
EUROPEAN WAR MEANS AMERICA
MUST SUPPLY ENORMOUS WASTE

CONGRESS met L ueSudy LOT lHe
short session. President Wilson
delivered his message to the joint
session from which we quote the fol-
lowing:
What chiefly strikes us now as
we look about during these closing
days of year which will be forever
memorable in the history or the
world, is that we face new tasks
have been facing them these six
months to come-face them without
partisan feeling, like men who have
forgotten everything but common
duty and the fact that we are rep
resentative of great people whose
thought is not of us, but of what
America owes to herself and to all
mankind in such circumstances as
these upon which we look amazed
and anxious.
War has interrupted the means of
trade not only but also the process
of production. In Europe it is de-
stroying men and resources whole
sale and upon a scale unprecedented
and appalling. There Is reason TO
fear that the time is near, If it be
not already at hand, when several
of the countries of Europe will find
it difficult to do for their people
what they have hitherto been always
able to do-many essential and fun
damental things. At any rate they
will need our help and our mani
fold services as they have never
needed them before and we should
be ready, more fit and ready than
we have ever been.
What interests us just now is not
the explanation, but the fact, and
our duty and opportunity in the
presence OF It, Here are markets
which we must supply, and we must
find the means OF action. The Unit
whom we speak and act, should be
ready, as never before. to serve Itself
and to serve mankind; ready with
it's resources, its energies. It's forces
of production and its means OF dis
tribution
II is n very practical matter, n
matter of ways and means. We
have the resources. but are we fully
ready to use them? And, II we can
make ready what we have, have W.
the means at hand to distribute it,
We are not fully ready; neither
have we the means OF distribution
We are willing. but we are not fully
able. We have the wish to serve
and to serve greatly. generously:
hut we are not prepared M We
should be. We are not ready "a
