Third Statement Is Appeal
to Pro Germans to Aid in

Washington. June 12-Former Sec
Rotary Bryan's campaign to put be-
fore the American people his position
growing out of the situation between
the United States and Germany, was
expected to have come to AMEND for
the present with the publication today
of his appeal to German-Americans.
In his third statement since his res
ignation, Mr. Bryan urges German
Americans to aid in maintaining peace
between the United States and Ger
many. He appeals to them to en-
deavor to influence the German gov
eminent to take no step that would
lead in the direction of war.
Mr.. Bryan also tells the German
Americans not to suspect President
Wilson of not being neutral and
friendly toward Germany, because he
is both: that the president is DESTROYS
of peace, and that it is their duty to
aid him in maintaining it; and not to
attempt to connect the negotiations
oow in progress with Germany with
those in progress with Great Britain
because the cases are different.
With the issuance Of Mr.. Bryan's
latest statement, interest here today
centered in the former secretary

This is true not so much because or inc

Mr.. Field was an exemplar OF the habits
of thrift to the end of his life. One OF
his early habits was never to ride when
he could walk. If he was not in hurry
he always walked and the habit persisted.
A wealthy New York man who owns
real estate worth $40, 600 declared that
this property represented what he nd
saved by shaving himself and backing his
own boots.
The story is told of one Octave Girard,
of Ware, Mass, who retired well-ott at
the age of seventy, not long ago, at.er
working at manual labor most OF his lite
time and never receiving more than 81
a day.
He said he was able to put aside a
comfortable sum for his old age because
both he and his wife believed in economy
and practised it vigorously. "Steadfast-

WEEDS OF LIFE.

More important than killing weeds

il is applicable TO life from the

We read great deal on how to
cure, this and that; it is more i'm
rortant not oge in the position
where you need to cure anything,
end it is comparatively easy if you
recognize the laws of health and
follow them.
We read about ways to make up
for deficient training when young;
yet it is more important that par
ents attend to the training when
young and not rely upon Providence
later on.
We read about men making good
after sowing wild oats; but it is

We talk about this being wrong
ara that being wrong, the times
being out of joint, and what not;
but the time TO notice things is
when conditions are being formed,
And though it is impossible to act in
time to counterfeit all evils, wise
man can look ahead long way.
We read about high taxes and a
tremendous funded debt: yet pause
tc consider the hand that the people
under this democratic government
have in permitting the expenditure
OF money. A really thrifty commun-
ity, that kept its hands On the purse
string through public opinion all the

We read lot of the government
