The Need Of ECONOMY and Saving

When We put n million and n
half soldiers in the field, w with.
draw those men from productive
enterprises. They do not while
they are actually in training or in
service produce anything. They
do. on the other hrnd, consume
much. There is nothing more OK
pcnsivc on earth than to support
and maintain n great army in the
field, especially if it is on the
fighting line. The attrition Of sup.
plies and everything else is tire.
mcndously great when we have a
fighting army in the field,
America is the one great remain.
ing storchousc in the world of sup
plies and credit. We must main
tain and make effective as posi-
bic our own soldiers and the sol
dicrs Of those nations who r
fighting for US. We must there
fore draw rs little as possible up
ON our common store Of supplies
and money. The more we lessen
our domestic demand, the more
we can contribute to the support
and effectiveness of our allied ar
mics.
Economy Is now a naticaal duty,
such a duty upon the Fn'ple at
home as fighting is uIoo those
Americans Who are bravaly offer
ing their lives for The honor OF
America anG the preservation OF
liberty and %lstice.

Letter From Mr.. Doty Hurst.

Editor Of The Beacon:
| appreciate the publication of the
letter requested Of you in last weeks
Beacon, and | have the most kindly re-
CARDS to you for it. But didn't know
that | was subjecting myself to be criti-
ci5ed or reflected on, as you stated in
your remarks that If you remembered
correctly | had not always stood for
things progressive, and IN reply will
say maybe not, as you aud view some
things differently, and it might be hard
to tell just who is On the progressive
side.
If you call killing buzzards progress
i've, then ! am guilty of being non-pro-
gressive, for, as you know, 10 not be.
lieve in killing these God-given scaven-
gers of the earth.
But as to the employing Of a county
agent, if the right man car be had, |
favor it; if not, | do not favor it. And
what | call the right man is the one
that will get out and do things and not
the other fellow.
| have also stood for the eradication
of the cattle tick and for the present
public road commission system, and
morally have been a prohibitionist and
against the sale of whiskey since | was
twenty years old. Also have been a
total bstaircr from the use of intoxi-
eating drinks. AS a farmer, the above
are a few Of the things that | have
stood for. Respectfully,

THE BEACON had no idea Of sub
jccting Mr.. Hurst, who has been a
semi occasional contributor to the news

to any unjust criticism. If we have
gathered from his letters the idea that
be was uuProgrcssiye we nov realize
our mistake, for, as Mr.. Hurst saws
above be has favored the eradication of
the tick, was for good roads, is a pIo-
hlbitionist, etc. all of which we admit.
STANDS Tor progress. Though tn writer
has never been a prohibionist, he now
regards the law forbidding the shipment
Of liquor into dry territory as the best
ever put on a statute book, and r%ejoices
with Mir. Hurst and all who think like
him in the adjustment Of tho evil. And
now in the same spirit of coutrition, we
hope Mr.. Hurst will come up to the
m%ournors bench and admit publicly that
he committed sin against good citizen

was z of bushel more than had
been predicted October 1. Trade was
the smallest for a long time, and when

Firmness in the oats market was

NEW YORK, Nov. Values are
being almost entirely ignored. as are
statistics. and in a large measure
prices. The full severity of tax pro.
posals inaugurated by congress at its
last session are being realized by cor
porate interests, and as a result there
of initiative has been dissipated and
there appears to remain only desire
TO convert into cash for whatever the
same will bring corporate issues of a
sort that have long ranked as stable
investments of the highest order. In
addition there will be placed among
investors. without doubt, before the
middle of next year many billion dol
lars of government obligations in the
ordinary course of things and not to
mention these unusual times.
All in all. about the only thing that
can be said at present is that borrow
ing should be curtailed and commit
ments safeguarded in the extreme.
