Needs Farming Implements.

Farming implements of all kinds
are greatly needed in France just
now, and the honorary secretary OF
the French relief fund recently re-
ceived a telegram from M. Outlet,
honorary secretary of the Secours
National, asking permission for the
expenditure of 10000 francs from the
money raised by the fund for the puf-
chase of agricultural implements, ur-
gently required for the purpose OF
getting in the harvest in the invaded
districts of France. The necessary
permission was Immediately given,
and the French relief fund authori-

these implements are badly required,
make a special appeal to manufactur-
ers of agricultural implements in
Great Britain who may not have con-
tributed already to the fund to make
donations in kind

seriously burned when the gasoline in
his motor delivery car exploded Sat

is resting as easily as might be ex

doctor says that he fears little danger

does not think skin grating in this

The women's cause in Russia has
made a big advance today by the
council of ministers approving the
plan Of the minister of education to
throw open the doors of certain uni

stricted, the higher schools and univer-

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-when the

curtain on the 1914 season, baseball
magnates sent booming sigh heaven

opinion that the old game had gone
through about as lean year finan-

And now that the Phlls and Red Sox
have pushed another season over the

days, II was another lean year in
baseball-very lean in spots.
OF the sixteen clubs in the Amer
ican and National circuits which
started In the annual derby last April,
it is doubtful II more than half dozen

course, are touchy on such subjects,
and actual figures are not obtainable

the fact that they didn't spend any
fortunes for oil to keep their turn

The Braves pulled through mainly
because OF their prestige as champions
and because Of the possibility of theii
staging another famous spurt. The
Giants always have certain prestige
on the road. and this. with the huge

TALKS ON THRIFT
Pride and ProsperitY

"A wife must not be extravagant. nor husband penurious. Let her help him to save his money. Greenbaum of New York
 Some people have the ability to save only when they do 1t in order to spend at once to satisfy their pride or self indulgence. which is little better than not saving at all
 Their economy brings them no near CT the goal of prosperity and an ln- dependent income. They simply save and scrape in order to indulge in new and more expensive luxuries, or to keep up with others, and in conse- auence never build up a reserve upon which to draw in future days of need An editorial writer in a Des Moines newspaper utters this plaint:
 "The problem of educating children. maintaining their health,' meeting the cost of living and keeping up insui ance on ordinary wages, is one which IS not easy of solution and every man of 4S who has not a competence is not always at fault, by any means The world would be infinitely better off. economically. if 1t were not so hard for men who are not extravagant to make a mere living for their families" There is truth In what this writer says. But we believe wonders can be accomplished by the right kind of CO., operation in the home--between man and wife at the start, and later bee tween children and parents There is something to be said also in favor of swallowing pride. not try ing forever to keep up either with Lizzie" or the "Joneses" and mak- ing really serious effort to save sys- 1 tematcally to provide for future capital of worth while proportions It is often found that people can save when they have to do SO The war In Europe Is proving this Ac- cording to correspondent boys at tending Berlin schools are now learn ing these 10 commandments of thrift: l. Everybody must save. for only if everybody saves will Germany's sup plies hold out
 s1. Waste no food, not ever the most unimportant
 3. Take time for eating and chew thoroughly.
 Avoid all eating between meals
 ,. Eat rye bread instead of wheat bread and be economical with bread
 6. Be economical with butter. and eat cheese. fruit sauces and marmalade instead of butter.
 [ Eat abundantly of fresh vege- tables so as to save meat. fats and bread.

 9. Buy chocolate and sweets and send to the soldiers at the front-we can gladly dispense with these things.

 The poor children of London are being taught to mend their own shoes. This Is a part of the programme Of thrift adopted by the British author tiles as result of the war.
 Time and time again 1t has been proved that necessity is the mother of invention. Perhaps if the discouraged Iowa editor felt that he absolutely must save he would be able to do It.
