The Need of Economy and
Saving.

The United States is now at war. A
large part of our country's human energy
is taken away from the farms, factories,
and industries Of peace, and until the war
ends all their energies will be devoted to
fighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy is being turned into the creation
Of implements Of destruction. Many of our
products are now being devoted to
purposes of war. Destruction instead of
construction is the object of a great
portion of the country's energy.
AS much of the human energy and
productive capacity of the Nation are
now being devoted to the purposes of war
so should the proper amount of the
money Of the United States be devoted.
He who offers his life for his country is
Offering the greatest possible sacrifice
but the American men and women who
support the Government with their
money are DONG their part
This war is going to be financed largely
out Of the savings of the American people
during the war. 1t is not too great
-acrifice to make for ones country in time
VI war to deny ones self Injuries, to cut
Town unnecessary expenses; to lead
utter and buster lives. Not only will the
money thus saved and used to buy
Liberty Loan Bonds help the United
States but the diminished consumption of
food and other articles will do much to
relieve the country from the strain of war
The less the people use the less strain
there is upon the productive capacity Of
the Nation and the more can be devoted
to winning the war; the more the people
save the more liberal financial support
can they give the Government This is
the peoples war; and it is to be financed
by the American people, not by the rich
and not by the poor, but by the rich and
the poor, the capitalist and the wage
Garner the miner and farmer and the
manufacturer.

A Natural-Hist0ry Error.

I'm current verse and romantic
fiction the reader is constantly find
ing mention Of the "chattering" of
gray squirrels, as they fit about, in
the big trees.
"Do squirrels chatter?
"Not by a jugful. The only noise
a squirrel makes is a sort of hoarse
wheeze-Thoreau speaks of it as
winding up their clocks" when
frightened or otherwise excited.
This they will keep up by the hour,
and it is one of the most trying
things in nature on the human list
ener's nerves.
"Mr. Howells is the one writer
who never makes an error like this.
He is such thorough going realist
that he scorns to introduce even
squirrel to his readers behaving 9TH
erwise than as he actually does be-
have in nature.
That's one good thing in the true
realist-he knows his facts and never
modifies or suppresses them.-Burl-
ington News"
"Dc squirrels chatter" Yes, and
it's more than "a joyful too.
Nature-faking is not a new failing
but old as the hills. Ask anyone
who has ever hunted, captured and
tanned squirrels, or is familiar with
the habits and antics of this little
animal if they do not chatter? 1t is
not wheeze, although they do
wheeze, but chatter, Their little
jaws will work as fast and their chat
ter is a far different sound than a
wheeze. Especially do they make
this noise when they are angry. Mr..
Howells may be one of those rare
writers who never makes an error,
but he will find many he cannot con-
vince that squirrel does not chatter.

President Wilson's administration
has been one of diversity
of contrary notes and messages. He
kept US out of war, and he didn't.
He inaugurated a plan for watch
full waiting" without any prepare
ton. He advocated a peace with
out victory and now demands a
victory that will establish a world
wide democracy. We are not find
ing fault, only viewing these kalei-
doscopic changes which has brought
this government to do what it should
have done earlier in the administra-
ton.

The government is doubtless hand
ling this food conservation right, but
we wonder how many of the officials
appointed to advise on this question
really know nything about food
conservation? How many of them
actually know by practice and neces-

Not many of them know what it is
so save and conserve every day in

We can imagine how enlightening it

President Wilson's reply to the
Pope is "scrap of paper" that will
make history. These are sentiments
we can all subscribe to:
''The purposes of the United
States in this war are known to the
whole World-to every people to
whom the truth has been permitted
to come. They do not need to be
stated again. We seek no material
advantage of any kind. We believe
that the intolerable wrongs done in
this war by the furious and brutal
power of the imperial government
ought to be repaired, but not at the
expense of the sovereignty Of any
people rather 4 vindication of the
sovereignty, both Of those that are
weak and those that are strong. Pu-
nitiHe d1HItre&, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of em0ircs, the establishment of sci.
fish and exc usive economic leagues
we deem inexpedient and in the end
worse than futile, no proper basis
for peace of any kind, least of all
for an enduring peace That must
be based upon justice and fairness
and the common rights Of mankind. "
