The Nations Supreme Task.

The nation s one job is to make
every ounce of mental, moral, physical
and financial strength. Nothing else
counts now.
War, war, vigorous, aggressive, all
powerful war, is our one supreme work.
To that end the fullest measure of the
nation s life must be given and upon
it the utmost personalities of our re
sources be concentrated and consecrat-
ed Danish everything else but the
things which arm us with the power
to strike for life and liberty.
This means, crowd every coal mine
to the utmost of its capacity; run
every furnace and steel plant as though
the nation s life depended upon it,
which it does; build every ship big and
small, steel and wood, for which men
and materials can be found, and count
not the cost; run every cotton mill
to its limit.
Produce every bale of cotton, every
| bushel of grain that can be grown
raise livestock and poultry, and keep
on raising them, for our Allies are hun
CRY, and soon will starve if we cannot
supply them bread and meat.
Make guns, the biggest and the
best; produce explosives without limit
crowd all the potentialities of chemis
try to the last notch of human energy
expand railroads; build permanen
highways; make money with all posi-
bic energy, and turn it into Libert,
bonds, and into Red Cross or kindred
interests.
Work, work, work, and keep on work
ing, be you day laborer, mechanic
clerk, banker, manufacturer, merchant
capitalist, preacher or teacher, or what
ever may be your occupation. All tina

RELATION OF WAGES TO PRODUC
TION

A notable sentence uttered by Mr.
Hoover while outlining what the newlr
formed federal food board expects to
accomplish was the one in which he
said: CAT present either the prices
of food must come down or there must
be a wage increase, and every time
there is such an increase there is loss
of efficiency. In othe words. Mr.
Hoover holds that, while wages and
prices act reiexivelv, an advance cf
either necessitating an advance of the
other in endless progression, as the
process goes on there is a loss, not a
gain, in production.
He had in mind, presumably, TIE
truth which Macaulay. almost a hun.
bred years ago, was not the first to
recognize-the truth which ''labor
always does deny and others would like
to deny, but cannot-the truth that
men do not work with diligence pro-
pOrtioned TO their remuneration What
they really do, as a rule that has, OF
course, its exceptions, and not a few CT
them. is to work Just as much as, and
no more than. is required for earning
the money they must nave to satisfy
4 their conscious wants and to live j;
| they want to live. That amount of re
Enumeration attained, the common hu
man tendency is to be idle until The
money is spent.
This tendency is more obvious in tn,
lower than in the higher ranks of la
Dor, but it exists in them all-and per
haps it is not absent but only bette
hidden, in the very highest by the ex
istence there of more thought abou
remote needs and the consequent viii
ingncss to provide for them.
1t is easy to understand, therefore
why Mr.. Hoover aims ut the cuttiE
down of prices rather than at bring
ing about a sufficient amount of rise i
pay to meet constant advantage j
the cost of living. He thinks in term
of productivity, and it is well for il
that he does

President Wilson is a master of the
English language. 1t is pleasure &c
read one of his messages as literary
production. But in most of his pub
lie utterances, and notably in his last
address to congress, he touches the very
heart and soul of his subject. We be-
lieve his last message will go down in
history as great state paper. BY
the way, there was some difference be
tween what the President said and the
drooling of that old Tory, the Marquis
of Lansdowne.

Not a Tip Oliver.

Jane Jackson was business woman
and very successful. Every day she
partook of substantial lunch at a
very expensive restaurant, but she
didn t believe in tips.
The walters did not dare to tackle
her on the subject for long time, she
looked 50 forbhding. But at last one
found courage to give her hint.
He brought her her change, coughed
alphabetically, and murmured:
Pardon me, madam, but the total
on the bill does not include the wait
er.
Jane Jackson looked at the man with
clear, innocent gaze.

What ingram Did.

Neither Casabianca nor Horatiua at
the bridge surpassed in heroism young
Osmond Kelley Ingram. who threw
overheard the explosives on the Ameri-
can destroyer Cassin III order that the
German submarine s torpedo should
not detonate them and destroy his ship
and gave his life for his comrades
and his country in doing SO. Ingram
sought danger instead of fleeing it.
He might have saved his life without
discredit. But he did not think of his
life-or if he thought of it, he knew
that he was deliberately sacrificing it.
And he acted with instant resolution.
To his courage and his quicknesi is
due the fact that Ingram S was the
only life lost in the German attack on
the Cassin. That result he foresaw and
welcomed. He knew how to take death
as Ills portion without an instant S hes
itation. He was of the breed of heroes,
and his name will be borne forever on
the nation s roll of honor.-Boston

ELVES FLYING TRIP.
~ MARY GRAHAM BONNER

Fly-High, the big bird of the Elves,
asked them if it was not time they took
trip. Fly-High has enormous black.
wings which can hold the Elves and
many of their friends. His body is
bright red and he knows a great deal
and is always ready for trips and adj
ventures.
The Elves were delighted and said
they would like to start right away.
"All right" said Fly-High. ''rll oil
my wings little" That simply meant
that Fly-High would take few little
trips around by himself nearby so he,
would be in good form for the long
journey.
"Where do you want to go, Elves?"'
asked Fly-High-
"Oh, you take us somewhere" they
said. 1--WE want to go on trip and
not know at all where We'll end up.
We want to fly and fly and see many
wonderful things"
'I'm ready" said Fly-High. AL the
Elves took their special seats on top
of his black wings, and off they started.
"Were going to see the children
first" said Fly-High, 'but before we
do that We'll all have to put on the
invisible robes the Fairy Queen gave
US. They can't see us them"
They put on their invisible robes as
they were being taken along through
the air by Fly-High. He had special
robe the Fairy Queen had given him
one with places for the wings instead
of for the arms, and it was made tC
look like the day. 1t was a gray colol
on foggy day, black in the night ant
as bright as the sun when the sun wa.
shining.
They went along little further ant
: the Elves saw the children sitting
around dining-room tables. There the.
. passed houses and all the children the.
saw seemed to be eating.
"Why are they eating?" the Five
asked.
Because it is Thanksgiving day.
! Fly-High answered. "You see the
f have turkey on the table and Gran
berry sauce, and so many othe
1 goodies. There are red apples, nuts
! stewed corn, pumpkin pie and dough
!. nuts! Don't they look delicious?"
