Young Field Enlists

Marshall Field, III, Chicago's richest young
man, has enlisted in the cavalry.
The announcement Of his step ought not to pro-
woke the widespread interest it does, for it is the
duty Of every young man, rich or poor, to serve
his country when the call comes; but in Fields
case it is notable exception. Newspapers Of
Chicago have pointed out that the names OF few
Of the leading families Of that city can be found
in the army records of the Civil War and of the
Spanish American War, and SO when young Field,
heir to many millions, became trooper he set an
example worthy Of emulation by Chicago youth.
II am enlisting in the national guard because
believe it is my dhty to serve the United States
in this war. am riot mofalidng over what other
people should dot I am not trying to set an ex-
ample"
Even Field denies that he is setting an ex-
ample, his step will have its influence and effect.
He has done no mea.e than we would expect from
any American citizen.

be hungry if their cellars are not stocked with

The Wholesale houses of Richmond and other
cities are warning housekeepers that this prac-
tice will result in shortage Of foodstuffs and
force exceedingly high prices. One need not be
shrewd business man to see that if the availa-
bic reserve is exhausted and food cannot be
bought, that the price win go up fast.
Housewives are asked to buy only for pres
emit needs. With the increased acreage that is
being planted and with the utilization Of the back
lots and vacant places the United States can ex-

Let the Men Save

One of our woman readers in an article yes
terday took up arms against the wasteful and ex-
pensive habits of men. She believes the press is
handing out gratuitous advice to women and is
sparing men. We viii not quarrel with the
criticism.
The recent agitation for food conservation
had to be directed against women, for they buy
and prepare foodstuffs, but the propaganda was
not restricted to them solely, for indirectly, men
are just as wasteful.
Men need to be economical. Expensive hab-
its Of drinking and smoking must be curtailed.
Thousands of acres Of land that are devoted to
the culture of tobacco might just as well produce
corn and other cereals.
The women have this consolation. It will not
be long before the government curtails the ex-
pensive habits of men. The Entente nations
gradually diminished the luxuries which men in
dulge in until today they are mighty glad to get
the necessities of life.
