Must Eliminate Waste.

I'VE must increase our production by
every device of our able farming COM
munity, with the stimulating advice
and guidance our agricultural institu
ton can invent. but beyond this We
must stop waste in every scrap of
foodstuff We must even be prepared to
deprive ourselves if necessary, in order
that our allies may be supported. They
have eliminated waste and are depriy-
ing themselves today, and it is no less
our duty than theirs.
"If America will only eliminate waste
and extravaganza in food it will go far
to help the whole problem. Now that
we are in the serious and terrible con-
f1ict, the very existence of our national
ideas of waste and extravaganza IN
Eublic places and among certain glasses
in America is a public scandal. Beyond
public places S5 per cent of the Amerl-
can food is consumed in the household.
The women Of America thus really con-
troll Americas food consumption
Among our allies the women NJ, are
vorkinr as hard as the men. There
is no BODY of women in the world so
capabl of rising to an emergency as
American women; nor is there :-any
problem so peculiarly capable of So
luton by them as the elimination of
waste and extravaganza. Much can
be done by the substitution OF the more
abundant commodities for those that
our allies need most. For instance
every person in American who eats
corn bread instead of wheat bread
helps in the present wheat shortage,
for the English people have never
learned how, and have not the equip
ment to make corn bread, because they
do not bake in the household at all,
and corn bread cannot be served from
the baker.
TT is obvious that our allies must
have first call on our food surplus.
If we are to divert our man and wom-
an power to furnish foodstuffs to neu--
trails, they must be compelled to give
some equivalent service to our allies.
They cans furnish shipping or COM
modities or manufactures which our
allies need in return for food from US.
Must Cut Off Germany's Friends.
Moreover, in this war against Ger
many we should allow no products of
our labor or soil to go to any country
or any peoples who assist Germany, di-
rectIy or indirectly. The supply of
American corn to states bordering on
Germany, which is converted into meal
for German use. is depriving our allies
of just that much food and benefiting
our enemies.
"The war probably will last another
year. and from the present outlook OF
the worlds food supply we shall have
all we can do. by the utmost e1imina-
ton Of waste and the utmost stimula-
tton Of production, to carry our allies
through with their full fighting STAN
ina.
Nor can we allow speculation or
profiteering to burden our own people
with high prices. We must devise and
enforce methods to reduce and main
tain more reasonable prices. both for
our own people and the allies.
"All these are problems in which the
capacity and high ideals of self-sacri-
fee Of the American people can accom-
plish smoothly and efficiently. Legis-
lation and sumptuary regulations can
nccomplish far less than the voluntary
self-dsnial and devotion Of our peo-
pie"

APRIL SCHEDULE
Reduced Prices Anthracite Coal

We beg to announce that Our schedule OF reduced
prices on Anthracite Coal will go into effect Monoay'
April 9, 1917
These prices will apply only on deliveries made
during the month of April, 1917. We have no as
strances as to the cost OF coal after May ana '1eF
fore we can give inlation OF the prices that VIII
prevail after that date.
1t would therefore wise to prepare now
against this uncertainty by placing your order Wlt1
Us at once to the full extent of your bin capacity
We advise that you place restrictions on deilTery,
but to take the coal we are able to deliver
it and at the price prevailing when the delivery Is
made Orders will be delivered in the order IN which
they are received and any order portions OF orders
remaining untitled at the end of April will be dellv
cred after that date the prices prevalent at the
time the delivery is made.
If YOU delay now, you will not only have to pay a
higher price later but will probably have great diff
Guilty in getting coal at any price. In our oplnlon,
conditions in the mining regions and on the railroads
will be as bad this coming year, if not worse than
they were during the winter through which we have
lust passed.
Terms of payment: All invoices must be settled
within thirty DAYS after date of rendition, but dis
count for prompt payment will be allowed on all IN
voices paid by the 10th OF the month following the
month in which the delivery made.

RAIL WAY Cd.
/, SHOULD PAVE
- Sh~0&5

The city commission again yesterday
morning listened to protests against
the assessment for the work of improV-
ing North Second avenue between Van
Buren, street and Fillmore street, the
reason advanced being that the portion
of the street occupied by the tracks of
the Phoenix Railway company had not
been paved and the company required
to bear its proportiOnate share of the
expense and then denied the petition.
Attorney G. ID. JamiSons as at other
meetings, acted as the spokesman for
the. property owners He explained that
the property owners did not feel that
the railway company should he eN-
empted from paving its portion of the
street, and that this paving should
have been specified and provided for in
the contract for the paving. He sug-
gested that if the commission could not
legally compel the railway company to
pave at this time, the city commission
should order the work done and pay
for it out Of the city treasury and col
lect from the railway company if
possible.
In this connection City Attorney r.
L, Sloan stated that these objections
could not he legally considered as APP
plying to the manner in which the work
had been done, and that they should

THE FEAR OF DEATH is
UNKNOWN TO The SOLDIER

II j man feured death in battle one
could not be surprised, and yet in the
present war hundreds Of thousands OF
mon have gone to meet practically
certain destruction without giving
sign Of terror. Their emotions seem
to be numbered. Noises. sights and
sensations which would ordinarily
produce intense pity. sorrow or dread
have no effect on them at all. and yet
never was their MIND clearer their
sight and hearing more acute. BuS
with the issue before them, with VIC
tory or death or the prospect of eteTn-
ity. their minds blanNly refuse to come
to grips.
1t is before an attacl; that a man is
more liable to fear-befo1e his blood
is hot and while he still has leisure
to think The trouble may begin
dav or two in advance, when he is
first told of tire attack which is likely
to mean death to himself and 50 many
Of his chums one INDUCES IN regrets
about the home one may never see

self: but such self pity is not wholly
unpleasant. One feels mildly heroic.
which is not wholly disagreeable
either. Very few men are afraid OF
death in the abstract. Very few men
believe in hell. or are tortured by their
cOnsciences.
The vast majority experiences more
or less violent plyslcal shrinking
from the pain of death and wounds.
especially when they are obliged to be
physicalp inactive. and when they
have nothing else 10 think about. This
kind of dread is. in The case Of good
many men, intensified ny darkness and
suspense. and by the leafening noise
and shock that accompany the de-
tousttiOn Of high explosives. But 1t
cannot properly Dc called the fear %
death, and it is d purely physical re-
action. which can be, and nearly al
ways is. controlled by the mind.
asst Of al, there is the repulsion
and loathing for the whole business OF
war, with it's bloody ruthlessness. it
fiendish ingenuity, and its insensate
cruelty, that comes to a man after a
battle, when tie tortured and dismem
bered dead lie strown about the trench,
and the wounded groan from No Man 8
Land. But neither IS that the fear Of
death It is rcpusion which breeds
hot anger more often than cold fear,
reckless hatred Of life more often than
abject clinging to it. But even where
men are afraid it is generally not
death that they fear. Their fear is 4
physical and distinctive shrinking
from hurt shock and the unknown,
which instinct obtains the mastery
only through surprise or through the
exhaustion of the mind and will or
through Il man being excessively self
conferred It is not the fear of death
rationallp considered: but an irrational
physical instinct which al men pos
sess. but which almost all can control.

Undoubtedly the Industry's
Growing Achievement

From our point Of view this announcement is
most important.
For heT Gin we set forth the achievement Inward
which this company has aimed for the last eight
years.
This achievement in word is the con1ple on
of our gigantic organization to point where VIC
can make and market a complete line of autorno-
biieS under one head.
This means tremendous economies-nuch grea1-
er than ever before.
This means the elimination of all waste, all lost
motion and much greater factory efficiency.
This means an even higher grade of cars at
much more attractive prices.
All Of which means substantial saving for you
On the next ca you buy.
For now and for the first time in the history of
the automobile business we as one single organiza-
ton offer the public full and complete line of
automobiles.
This concentration-this greater efficency-this
more effective means of pulling together is going
to set new standard of low priced high grade
automobile values.
