Because of an impending possible
shortage OF foodstuffs We have hys-
terical demands for economy in ey-
cry line of human endeavor Waste
is bad, but an indiscrimnating econ
omy is worse.
Every mercantile business aud ev-
cry factory In American is part of
our great national industrial mach
inc, which. i'm time of war. is even
more important to the progress OF
the country than it is in times of
peace.
THE hue and cry raised in the in
terests of economy, while well-inten-
toned, is very apt to have an exactly
negative effect from that intended.
An indiscriminating economy is
worse than waste.
ALL ARE ESSENTIAL.
The closing down of normal
purchases to the line of bare neces-
sity is bound to choke the flow of
our national trade to the lowest liv-
able minimum.
Business is great chain of in
terlocking enterprises. The jeweler
is just as important a part of this
chain as is the grocer, and likewise
the shoe merchant. the clothing mer-
chant, the milliner, and every mer-
chant who purveys merchandise
which is purchased in normal times.
If men and women stop buying the
merchandise they have been accus-
toned to buy. we shall very shortly
have series of failures among AM
erican merchants, which will be far
PREACHING in its negative effect. Every
part of the great national industrial
machine must be kept doing its part
otherwise the efficiency of the entir
machine will be greatly lessened. an
if there was ever time in the his
tory of our country when we needle
lgreater Industrial activity than at an
other time, that is surely now.
The best policy household ca
. practice is>the stoppage of waste an
, of indulgence in needless extral
. gances. but TO carry the issue to tn
ipoint of depriving ones self of tn
usual conyeniences and necessitie
OF life is entirely uncalled for. an
can only retroact in an injuriou
way. Depression in any one line o
business brings something of dIsas
ter into every other field of com
merce.

bad effects are apparent are purely
psychological. Our markets are the
same in May that they were in March
and April. We have as many people

Their needs have not changed.
OUTLOOK NOT GLOOMY.
The declaration OF war is not only
going to bring back to us the mill

material prosperity is concerned, the
outlook never was bigger aud bright
er.. All we need is sanity in our
daily habits and an open business
throttle, and We will all share i'll the
good times which existing conditions
must produce.
In a consistent reasonable way bus
mess and social matters should go
on as usual. There always has been
in this country tendency among
certain classes of people to live be-
yond their means. We do not need to
have war conditions to make the cor
rection OF this error necessary and
important. 1t does, however some
times take such serious conditions
as war to bring these people who
! spend beyond their means TO their
| logical senses. For those people,
however, who form the great major
| ity, and who can enjoy what they
can afford, there is very little neeess-
sity for a change in spending habits
These people still desire to maintain
their position in society and in bust
