Sunday: A master marvel among
all mankind's most amazing men. This
old earth has never known his like.
From the beginning Of time to the
moment at hand no replica of him has
ever been nor ever will be until time

the fiery elements of his being burst

Providence was prodigal in produce

not be collectible. The war will not
be carried on so easily.
The advice for economy was espe-
cially for cutting out pure waste
such as the disgraceful garbage pail
of the American household; the stupid
fire loss of American buildings; the
baneful time loss of those mechanics
who, like the plumbers, forget to bring
their tools; and the whole list of losses
that are due directly to carelessness
and shiftlessness. That was what the
president meant when he said cut
them out. He did not mean to say
that the American people ought to cut
down its standard of living, or IL new
houses We're needed they were not to
be built, or that road and railway
construction should be halted. On the
contrary, we want more houses, more
roads, more railways and more busi-
ness generally. Mr.. Coffin has done a
great public service in administering
an anaesthesia to the new hysteria
that was developing.

of AFFAIRS was not surprising to the street
in view of the present conditions. Most IN
terest by the trading element was shown IN
the railroad labor controversy. Whiie 'he
situation with regard to the carriers and
their employees was regarded as very Sc
