GIVE UP JOY RIDING?


The national government is thinking
Of asking the American people to quit
burning gasolene for their 10y rides.
The situation has reached q point
where no gasolene should be used ex-
cept for necessities Of travel. The
habit Of Joy riding Is to be frowned
upon. Those who; go tearing thru the
country on pleasure rides are to be
regarding as 1nterfeH1g with their
oountry's welfare in the world war;
The country is said to have q pro-
duction Of 100000. 900 a year, but 1t is
using now at the rate of 335, 900. 900,
drawing for the balance on the stored
up supplies. This can not be long con-
tinued without Gripping the country.
1T is the intention to put three or
four thousand aeroplanes in use with
in the next year and all these require
large quantities Of the highest grade
gasolene.
The question is whether the Joy rid
ers will be willing to give up their
pleasures so that the government may
serve its necessities. 1t Is about to
gasolene for pleasure as to throw
away foodstuffs The problem can prob
ably be met by arbitrary advances in
prices Of sasolene, until they are made
prohlbitive for the average user.
But why not begin to think about 1t
now? Why shall not every patriotic
American begin to curtan the use Of
gasolene? How can he reconcile him
self to wild Joy riding riding that can
be dispensed with and that ought to
be dispensed with. while the govern
ment is facing a growing scarcity
which may affect it's war services?
1t LIS up to every american Who owns
CARS he willing to do his bit? Or
is he going to burn a gallon Of gaso-
lene just to take himself around town
where his own legs would serve him
as we'll and promote his health at the
same time?

WHAT rs WASTE?

williamsburg Journal-Tribune.l
The advice against willful waste is
developing thick fog in which the
populane ID liable to become lost; one
economic writer will advise retrench-
ment on this or that line, and the ink
Is no more dry upon the printed page
when another chap comes along and
declares that such Saving" would
throw the commercial fy-wheel out OF
balance, thereby causing a wreck. The
teachers. all self-appointed, appear to
be in a doubtful mood as to what con-
stitutes waste, and it might be well
for the country If nine tenths Of such
teachers we're rounded up and sent to-
some primary school where they might
be placed on speaking terms with the
subject upon which they are piddlingly
pontificating. Carloads of spruce logs
have been used in making the paper
soiled by the futile discussions on this
topic.
The waste born Of careessness is
the one form of destruction that heads
many Of US toward the poorhouse, and
it has become an axiom that many a
woman will throw out on a spoon what
the husband can bring in on shovel.
Out SAO ACl8ll Va WaSIc uOcS hOl Civ
here. The waste born Of wealth con-
stitutes heavy burden on the human
family. Any useless destruction or ex-
penditure. any loss without an equiva-
lent gain IL waste. Nor does it change
the phase Of the question by setting
up the claim that this apparently I'M
necessary expense affords labor an OPP
portunity to earn a living; in fact, this
makes more damnatory the indictment,
snice labor employed on non-essentials
is the very worst form Of waste. On
this point out must go the tobacco,
the beer, the whisky, the soft" drinks.
the gum-chewing, the candy eating.
and the wearing Of fine clothing, where
coarser grades will better fill the same
office or function.
OF course a sudden adoption Of this
policy would disarrange existing con-
ditions and it Is, we presume, on ac-
count Of or thru fear of this disar-
rangement that we fear the daily plea
is misleading, and the economists
should at least be honest enough to
treat their audiences fairly.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Now before I begin this story, I'm
going to tell you right of that it's 60
ing to be about Daddy Fox and his
family. It's been such a long time
since we heard anything about him
that had almost forgotten there was
such a person as Daddy Fox. And one
reason Is that when we left him long
time ago he was in prison. Don't you
remember how the Bunny Boy Scouts
had locked him up in the Jail House
in Lettuceville? Well do, now that
come to think Of It. so I'm going ia
tell you how he got out. You see, when
he didn't come home for two or three
days, Mrs. Fox said to Sly Boots and
Bushy Tail, her two little sons: Some
thing has happened to your father.
know It, for he never stays away like
this without telephonipg or sending Z
message home. Wed better 60 out to-
night and look for him.
So when the big, round silver moon
was shining in the middle Of the sky
and the twinkle. twinkle star was
peeping into the bedroom windows OF
; ;itt:e SSoyys and girls who were sound
asleep and dreaming OF lollypops anu
ice cream cones and other things, Mrs.
Fox put on her bonnet and started Out
with her two little foxes. And by and
by they came to the Jail House. And
while they were walking around It,
smelling here and there to find out
where their Daddy Fox was. they
heard him singing in a sorrowful
voice:

Are thinking OF Daddy Fox; e,
