PATRIOTIC BIG BUSINESS.

We getting accustomed to patriotic cooperation with the the part of big business that the action taken recently by leaders of the wool industry scarcely any notice On April g. following the presidents message to congress- the Boston Wool Trade Association ordered the entire supply of wool owned controlled in the city-and that practi caly all the available supply in the country-reserved government decided that the stock, which normally would leap under the of big orders for army navy should be offered to the government at the prices quoted April 2 and that mem the association would neither buy sell until they had learned the will of the administration
 This was indeed significant offer coming it did industry which has long had the reputation of never going Washington exept with demand for priv
 ege and profit It strikngly exemplifes the spirit of the nation And after the examples set by other in dustries which in former have reaped illegit mate harvest government orders, it natural enough.
 We see today the extraordinary spectacle of ship builders taking rush orders for the government at a profit of 10 per cent thereby crowdng out private work which they might make 100 per cent We see copper kings selling the government all the copper it wants at
 ten years average price, cutting the current market price in two We intuition manufacturers taking contracts for shells and other supplies at rates nearly low those prevailing before the sent prices ktng It is to be expected that the same gen policy will be adopted by the shoe manufacturers the meat packers and others who minister to war requirements
 When big business interests thus waive traditional right big profit from war orders they make the nations immensely easier. They help to war economically They reute the charge made until lately by many pacifsts that they forcing war upon us for their benefit Any by showing willingness to- their share of the burden they help the masses of people whom the brunt of the actual fighting will fall their duty without any bitter feeling that they are doing more than their part They make it a genu ney democratic war; redounding alike the interest of all classes of our citizenship

 But there is service which every American woman perform without joining any organization, without taking any the time effort required by the heaviest and most exacting home responsibilities. She can per form this without leaving home and yet the very highest service she give this time
 It is to prevent waste of food material.
