of life, but by continued manner
ing of the same truth into our con-
seriousness are we at last brought
to see it clearly. This is our con-
dition in the present emergency
Our past indulgence, coupled with
the fact that our supply always
has been sufficient, has lulled us
into false repOse
But the people of this country
always learn the lesson when 1t is
put squarely up to them. Last
spring they were assured that to
preserve the prosperity of the count
ry a record crop of everything
must be produced. To this ap-
peal they answer loyalty and en-
Enthusiastically. They are now as
sured that, If we would avoid hun
ger and want, this same seemingly
bountiful supply must be careful
" conserved and meted out. That
they will Loyalty meet this demand
also, we have no fear. But It will
require self denial, frugality, thrift
and economy to tide us over in
comfort to another harvest. But
it can be done, and will be done
It would be interesting to know
just how much Of that large Rus
sian loan will find its way into the
pockets Of the men in the trenches.
We look with pride on the magni-
ficiant personnel Of our army, but
we are too apt to forget or overlook
the fact that an adequate wage goes
long way towards securing that
personnel. The difference between
one cent a day and one dollar a
day may account for considerable
enthusiasm or its absence. We ven
ture the assertion that an American
guarantee Of fifteen or twenty dol
lars month to every Russian SOL
dier who is willing to stand and
fight would materially change the
morale of the Russian armies. 1t
is worth q trial.
During the second week in Oct
ober the country will be able to
correctly guage the patriotism OF
its women. Every woman in the
country is asked to register, dur
ing that week, for whatever service.
she feels she can render her country
in this greatest crisis OF its history
We have been used to boasting
Of the splendid loyalty OF our
women, and we have always had
whereof to boast. Thus far in the
present conflict their response to
the calls made on them has been
spontaneous and most sense infer
! ior to that Of the men, although it
may differ very materially from 1t
in the element of thrill" They
will be called on to take up, and
bear w0man's ageold burden
patient endurance and helpful
ministration. That their response
will be even more enthusiastic than
it has ever been, there are none who
doubt
/ Up to, date this country is about
the only one upon which Germany
has laid the responsibility for the
war. Our turn win come next.

The person who can see nothing
but government red tape and fuss.-
ness in the food control measures
can see very little below the sur
face ia the present day situation.
The food control measures were not
put iii operation because this gov
ern1nent had any relish for interfcr-
ing with the private lives OF it's
citizens. The fewer measures OF
this sort were needed the better
pleased would be those In author
ity.
That-the president insisted on,
and the Congress granted food con-
troll legislation, is the most conclu-
sive of evidence that the situation
called urgently for such measures.
Probably never before in history
has the world faced the situation
it now faces. We speak glbly OF
our crops in billions Of bushels for
getting that the demand also is
crouched in billions. We look at
our bursting graineries and over
flowing barns, forgetting that across
the water are millions of the world s
manhood engaged entirely in CON
suming and destroying.
To be specific, there would have
been no price set on wheat had
not the government forseen that
long before a new crop could be har-
vested the scarcity OF that cereal
would send the price out OF reach
of all but the affluent.
But enacting food control laws
and appointing executors is not,
OF itself going to safeguard the
country. There is another factor
to the situation. and the principal
one the people In general way
the food controllers can control
the prices but they can in no sense
control consumption. This is en-
tirely UP to the people themselves
If spirit OF strict economy and
conservation does not prevail thru
out the land, the efforts of govern.
ment will be neutralized.
1t may seem like thrashing over
old straw to continually refer to
the urgent necessity of economy in
consumption of food. But the si
tuation calls for iteration and rel
teration. Reforms come slowly
Not by once telling. or twice, or
three times, do we learn the lessons
