pany OF soldiers, or regiment, or a
brigade, or division OF soldiers,
who would waste the ammunition
supplied than, or destroy 1t? They
would be proving themselves traitors
70 and enemies Of their country and
their c0untry's cause. And what Of
the civilians who waste food. who
waste money in the face of our coun-
try's needs, present and prospective?
Morally the position Of the civilian
and soldier amounts to one and the
same thing. Tho difference is that
upon the soldier would fall the
swift penalty Of military law, while
there is no direct penalty to impose
upon the wastcful civilian.
Let us stop wasting! WANT fol-

WASTE Nuv

This Is a time OF plenty Plenty
should not, but it too often does, in
spire waste. The farmer may find
hlnself with more corn than he
needs, and 1t is fed to stock injudi-
rlouslH, wastefully at the beginning
or the winter season, and before the
next crop Is gathered he finds him.
sell buying corn to piece out" be-
tween seasons. The housewife NAV
have several sacks Of nour-maybe
even several barrels-and il seams
an incxhaustible supply for the fam
ily, and wasteful practices begin.
The illustration might be carried
through a thousand channels in the
home, on the farm, In the business
afairs OF the American people, but
1t is not necessary.
To-day, in this section, and all
over the South. money is the most
plentiful article on the list OF essen
tials. And we are wasting it with a
proai&acy at once startling to those
who think. and threatening disas-
irons end. We have more dollars
:han we have immediate need OF.
and, child-likc. we throw them away.
Never did money come so plentifully
and so easily into the hands Of the
people OF the Southland never be-
fore has it gone from them so rcck-
lessly wantonly, sinfully---for waste
is Sinful. And if there was ever a
time when waste is more sinful than
another, that time is to-day.
Our great and God-favorcd coun-
try is at war. We are fighting. we
believe. Il war made holy by the high
principles involved on the side We
have espoused: and day By day We
become more and moro impressed
with the bclei that Almighty God
has, in Ills divine wisdom and fore
sight, given into the hand and keep
ing oi the people OF our country the
honntiEul harvests Of the now swiftly
passing year that we might fortify
ourselves against the hardships Of
war that must inevitably come, and
at the same time Succor those Of our
allies who have for so long borne the
brunt OF the fighting for the right.
And yet we squandcr the very weap-
ons and sinewS OF war placed in our
hands by God Himself! Waste to-
day Is shameful, sinful; ii Is the
equivalent in civilian life to insuhor-
hination and muliny in the army or
navy. The wars termination Is de-
pendent not alone upon the men at
the front, their equipment in guns
and ammunition. but quite as much
and 1t may be to greater extent
Upon the provisioning Of our sol.
diers and the soldiers of our allies

ian populations Of the countries OF
our al;tes.
