P1TRIOTS AND OTHERS.

In an editorial expression OF some
length in the Monroe Ncrs-Stdr, the
same dealing with those of that city
who were either friendly or unfriendly
to the two FAST bond issues, the editor
or that excellent little daily says:
I'VE have personal knowledge of the
fact that there are many men in Mon
roe who have actually made sacrifices
i'm order to pay for $40 or 800 bonds
of the first issue. Loyal men and
women are willingly practicing self
denial in order to help the Government
defend the principles of Right and JUS
tice. and many of them are deplOring
their inability to buy more bonds"
Yes, sir. That's all very well said.
and much might be written in praise Of
these same people. But there are those
in Menroe and in Bossier Parish who
have remained unmoved by these two
appeals of the Government, and some
over this way who are living to-day
just about us they have always lived
nc bonds. no wheatless days and the
same old waste Of foods. The world
is made UP of all kinds of people.

From the Banners daily exchanges
we gather that one day last week the
stars and Stripes were carried for
ward on the battlefield in France,
American troops were permitteu to Oc-
cupy the first-Iine trenches and engag-
ed actively in the Zig artillery duel.
The first shot was fired by a big red
haired gunner, and his comrades and
officers Justify eheered as he performed
that coveted task. merely the finishing
touch in his training. But everybody
knows these sorrol-tops are strong for
fight. and H.e cherish Il sneaking belief
that they will all leok like red-heads to
the Germans when they have finished
their training. get limbered up for ac-
ton aud are in the fight to the end.

A week or so ago we called attention
in print tc the serious and constant
waste by rats, stating that it cost Il
cent day to keep up Il rat, and urged
that school boys he encouraged to
make war on these pests. An article
en- this very subject has just been fur
nished the Banner by the State Coun-
Gil Of Defense. the same appearing else
where under the heading e Rout the
Rat" The rat. in this article is not
given credit for doing damage in the
amount of IL cent Il day, but we still
believe that estimate to lie about cor
rect. and call to mind that we obtained
it year or SO age from some printed
matter, perhaps sent out from the Fed
eral Department Of Agriculture. How
ever, there would be no added value to
this paragraph in establishing just how
much foodstuff and other valuable conf
mOdities arc destroyed each day by
rats. 1t is written merely tc again call
attention to the waste from this source
and with the view Of persuading the
Banners readers to make war OIL rats
at all times and at present particularly
as Il measure of conservation. It is a
matter that surely should have your
attention.

Now that the success Of the Second
Liberty Loan has hcen announced. let
us Ee-in even now to plan the success
OF the next to follow. The suggestion
is merely that YOU curtail your useless
expenditures SO that when that time
does come You will not be lacking in
funds. Aside from the demands Of the
Government. it would be u good move
for MANY of us to begin to learn how
to curb Oil wants.
