DO YOUR VERY BEST.
Be Earnest and Thorough and You Are
Bound to Succeed.

There is feature Of Dickens char
acter which cannot be too often or too
seriously insisted upon, and that is his
intense earnestness and thOrOuchness
In everything he did. He said to me
more than once:
My dear boy, do everything at your
best If you do that neither nor any
one else can find fault with you. even
If you fail. For myself, / can honestly
say that l have taken as great pains
with the smallest thing l ever did as
with the biggest"
In giving advice to q young author be
said on one occasion:
"1f you want your public to believe

real are my characters to me that on

sue. The character. however, got hold
Of me and made me do exactly the Op-
posite to what / had intended. but /

world s food markets. During that
period most unusual drains have
been made upon her available food
resources. In addition to feeding
her Cltizenry, she has had to nour-
lsh millions Of fighting men, whose
tense work and exposure demand
a suttlclenCy of good food Besides
this, there have been the prisoners
- host as large as the city of Phil
adelphia, by the smallest estimate
also to be fed
Yet, with only one tenth as much
land as there is in the United States
to support q population two thirds
as large as ours, Germany has per
formed the remarkable feat Of feed
ing herself and her armies and cap
tlvcs, and doing it so we'll that now
after fifteen months of unparalleled
struggle, her people and armies are
TT for their titanic task.
There is no secret back of this.
1t simply is matter Of no waste.
For twenty five years the German
people have been drilled in economy
at every turn. They have been
taught that production is only one
phase of the prosperity that leads to
and sustains efficiency; that proper
distribution of what is produced is
al equally important part Of the
matter.
They have been guided to CO.
tremes because Of their l4.ge mum
bers and their small area. They
have planted their roadsdcs to fruit
trees and used every square foot of
available land for some productive
purpose. After reaping the fruitage
Of such cultivation, they have been
taught how to avoid wastinga SIN
gle stalk or root. The state has
taught them how to grow, store and
market and how to cook and serve.
The result Of such a campaign for
economy is astonishing the world
today. 1t is the chief source Of a
remarkable strength which yet may
constitute this efficient nation a vic
tor in the world s greatest war.
And it should arouse every
American to serious consideration
Of the terrible waste that is being
permitted in this country. -Phila-

German Thrift
Means Much

when you come down to breakfast
thankful for warm house and the
prospect of steaming meal, on the
front page of the newspaper beside
your plate you'll II read of the poor
who are suffering for want of food
and fuel. In the mail which comes
a little later probably will be an APP
peal from some organization in need
Of funds to alleviate this sorry con
dition.
In anticipation of this occurrence,
which is coming as surely as Christ
mas, we suggest that the reader
turn to file of Collier s, to a num-
Der of few weeks ago, and look at
a photograph reproduced at the bot
tom of page II. It's a picture of
woman standing in front Of the big
gest pile of peaches you ever saw.
Under it is this caption:
A 4OOO-BUSHEL PEACH CROP
GONE TO WASTE. This pile Of
fruit, grown in a single orchard
near Guthrie, Okla, was allowed
to rot because the owner could not
get enough for it to pay marketing
expenses. Similar losses occurred
throughout Oklahoma, which grew
5000 carloads of peaches this year,
and in many states as we'll Yet in
the cities peaches have been retail
ing all summer and fall at from 2
cents to cents apiece. Even in
the bulk, they have been out of
reach of hundreds of thousands of
people. This year millions Of dol
lars worth Of food has perished on
the farms. Better distribution ia
cilities for farm products are one of
the nations biggest economic prob
lens.
To have such a picture handy
while you re reading of the wide
spread suffering caused by lack of
food may add to the vividness of
the story. If further emphasis be
needed, it can be got from the files
of any newspaper for the early sum
met months of 1915-papers filled
with news Of peas being plowed
under because it didn't pay to pick
them; potatoes left in the hills to
rot because the market price was
less than the combined cost Of labor
and bags; fresh vegetables and
fruits of various sorts being dumped
into Lake Michigan by the carload
because Chicago markets were
flooded, New Jersey farmer
complaining because they h d
to pay the transportation charges
on farm products which they could
Mt sell in Philadelphia and New
York.
But what has this to do with Ger
many and the war?
Just this, that if a like measure
of waste, due to inefficient market
ing conditions had been permitted
in Germany, before this time she
probably would have been defeated
not by the armies of the allies, but
by lack of food for her 65,OOO,-
600 people, who for more than fif-
teen months have had to depend fol
sustenance on the products Of land
area four-fift the size Of the state
of Texas.

convenient to attend to the duties en-

FINANCE COMMITTEE OF FRANK
McGRANE, s A ANDERSON AND
w. w. BROWN INsURES FINAN-
CIAL END OF SHOW.

A great deal of preliminary work in
cidental to the staging of the premier
wild west show, Border Days, has been
done the past week and things are now
shaping themselves in such manner as
to amply assure the public that this
years event will not be outclassed by
anything in the past.
While no contracts have been closed
the committee in charge is busy along
this line, investigating the merits of
the various performers and exercising
such care as to guarantee the securing
of the best the country affords in the
way of ropers, riders and thrilling
events.
A finance committee consisting of
Frank McGrane, S. A. Anderson and
w. w. Brown was appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee and the commercial
club to look after the financial end of
the show and with men of such pro-
minence as those above mentioned back
of the proposition there is no reason in
the world to expect anything other than
unprecedented success. The commit
tee in charge has been meeting every
night and will probably be pretty
busily engaged from now ON until after
the show, the dates of which are Sep
tember 80, and 80 and October l.

CAR OFF GRADE.

A bad accident without serious re-
suits occurred last Sunday when the
Ford ear belonging to f. J. Bennett, the
Denver miller got stalled on hill over
near Ferdinand and backing down the
hill ran over the grade and turned COM
pletely over without seriously injuring
the car or hurting any of the occupants.
The boy mother and sister were in the
car and jumped out when it backed
down the grade but young Bennett
stuck and received only few scratches.
Later another auto driven by George
Wilkins happened along and gave as
sistanee in getting the car back on the
grade and starting it on its way The
accident can be blamed to the fact that
the brakes were not in good working
order.
