PATRIOTISM, ECONOMY AND WASTE.

TN this general plan OF conservation that we are all agreed
upon there should be judgment used not permitting the
hyseria OF alleged economy to upset the accomplishments
upon which have decided
There is dispute about the matter OF waste. That
subject has been considered thoroughly and all Of the
people probably giving their best efforts in saving
foodstuS But there a difference OF opinion pertaining
to the connection between economy and patriotism
There is reasonable angle TO this economy scheme
II stampede cnSues wherein all Of the people will stop
spending money patriotism which We started to enforce will
be nuiicd If wc stop spending money it is indication
that we are losing confidence IN institutions and our
selves And this is the time in lives that don't
wish 10 lose confidence
There has been no extended movement to stop the
spending Of all money and il such movement should get
any headway the results will be fatal The urgent pleas of
many organizations the case in connection with
WASTE But all disbursements OF money don't repre-
sent waste Ii all Of buying shoes and clothes and
dry goods many stores will be forced to quit business;
factories will shut down people will be of employment
and most of the sources Of raising war taxes will be
exhausted
II we cooperate to keep business going to the maximum
then aiding directly in a prosecution of the war
We make it possible to raise funds And the money end
OF the war is vital one; allies seemed likely to 60
down IN defeat except for the cash which Uncle sam
released from his strong box help the battling nations
who fight for democracy.
So let us control the economy plan and not for mo-
men permit the economy ideas control us to that
tha, we'll close purses with snap and declare that
money shall be expended II business stops the war goes
forward to cur disadvantage and perhaps distress
America do her share in this crisis by fostering
industry spending money with discretion never boarding
food or cash. by tending business as We always
have done and by giving every encouragement to legitimate
business Let there he no false conomy Just the REAL
economy tempered with determination to keep business

TRAINING OUR TROOPS.

A NOVEL plan is about ready to be put into effect
whereby 1900 army officers from France and Britain
will the United States and assist in training
ncapacatcd for active duty the front but are physically
ut to serve in training camps.
French officer who has lost an eye is fully capable
of giving expert instruction to young men in the Off
GERS reserve comps British officer who has lost leg
can be OF great aid in teaching young officers how to
handle troops in the field.
The reason for bringing these foreign officers to our
American army into the field in France We are short
OF officers in the United States and will be forced train
lot OF new before sending any great army the
sea. But have lot OF regulars and national guards
that can enter the campaign il they be spared
from the home training camps
Hence, will send our active officers to France at
the head OF the first army corps and bring the crippled
foreign officers here aid in the work OF prepared
ness
The quicker plant the Stars and Stripes on French
soil the sooner will the end OF the While it is
not cheerful thought consider sending our young men
to the firing line don't do that we are likely to find
that the war may be brought to our own shores
Sending American troops to the old world keeps the
campaign far from own border. But il We wait too
long before sending help the faltcrng allies they may
lose and we'll find that the battle will be carried to our
corner OF the world Then we'll be forced to fight for

The time is rapidly approaching when
father will have a battle with mother
every time he goes through the screen
door that keeps the flies out of the
kitchen.
Every woman likes to mother young
man who can take care of himself. But
when a man gets old enough to need a
woman to take care of him, few women
want to tackle the job.
That transparent effect is all right
when woman wears IT, But who the
Hex wants TO see a man in silhouette
pants on the sunny side OF the street,
There must he reason for every
thing And We suppose the reason why
Corn Fed wears a MILDLY blouse is 10
save wear and tear on her corset.
Another old-timer who seems to have
disappeared was the man who used TO
come home during spring housecleaning
and find his wife chasing the Honorable
Bed BuggS from one room to another
and who made his wife mad by asking
her IT she was swarming the bees again.
The only reason why some husbands
do not attempt to commit suicide 10
scare their wives is because they know
that their wives wouldn't call in the
doctor until IL was too late.
There are only few sure thing bets.
And one OF them is that when ~.
ycat-old girl marrieS a 70.year old man.
the man isn't broke so you could no
tlcc It.
A foreigner who has never been here,
but who reads our newspapers and mag
aalncS, must get the impression from
the underwear and clothing advertise.

when you first get her But after YOU
have been married for while YOU be-
gin to wonder II YOU couldn't have done
better by grabbing any one OF the other
o9o,oop.
Never Judge by appearances. The
worst woman we ever knew had a face
like a Madonna, and the hes, sho, we
ever knew had only one hand and one
eye.
or course we understand tha, the en-.

people favor personal liberty Ru, YOU
may have noticed that in any community
there " always spirited bidding for the

an event IN the history Of the oil industry OF the state
