SACRIFICE IF NEEDS &c.

In his recent messages on food con-
servation and the liberty bonds, Pres
ident Wilson spoke of individual sac
rifces.
The folks have conserved food as
never before and have easily over
subscribed to a lot Of bonds, but, II
the whole truth were told, it would
probably appear that the popular sur.
plus has only just been nibbled at and
that there has really been mighty lit
tie sacrificing. There has, doubtless,
been some individual sacrifice, but a
people whose national debt, in war
times, is less than four per cent OF
its resources does not shine as an
example of general sacrifice.
Germany, preparing for . hard win
ter, is limiting the manufacture OF
leather footwear to footwear for sol
diers and others directly connected
with war work, and warning the gen.
eral pOpulace that 1t must get along
with cloth or wooden shoes. Turnips
must be one of the mainstays of the
German diet, and women's dresses
must, be made shorter and tighter to
economize in material Americans
are asked to eat no meat one day of
each week, while the ordinary German
doesn't get enough meat in a week to
respectfully bait a hook for starving
fish. Wooden shoes on Americans ?
Not while ladies' $12 and mems 81
feathers are going as now Shorter,
tighter dresses to conserve American
material?
The sentiment that has moved u
people, thus far, Mr.. President, is
pure patriotism, with little of the fea-
ture Of pinch and sacrifice in it. Some
luXuries and some follies in eating
have been given up and some latent
money has been brought out into the
sunlight, both of which movements
are really of the nature Of substan-
tial improvements. We are a long
ways from wooden shoes and turnips,
and we propose to SO fight and buy
bonds that our sacrifice will stop far
short Of such things.

My Dear Sir:

lations on the very satisfactory way
In which you handled the reports OF
the convention, and to thank you most
cordially for the confederation shown
this institution and the persons on
nected with 1t. We are always very
happy to co operate with the news

bublic information about our institu-
ions and the people who constitute It's
l~nstructional staff. Our aim is not the
promotion of individuals SO much as
bringing the institution into touch
with the people who patronize 1t and
pays its bills.

in the enlarged field to which 1t Is

With kind regard, believe me,

SHORT ON

Addressing US as "a friend of lib.
erty," the socialist party of New York
city has sent in a beautiful circular,
containing an invitation to subscribe
to q 100000 fund for the election of
Morris Hillquit to the mayoralty, as
"a compelling demonstration of democ.
racy and peace"
We plead guilty to being q friend
Of liberty and to feeling complimented
by the insinuation that we have any
important part of 100000, but we IAN
not accept the invitation, for two rea-
sons.
First, every cent we can scrape up
is engaged for liberty bonds. We're
such a red hot friend of liberty that
we want everybody in the world to
have some of it. Second, we are not
for democracy and peace, at this writ
ing, but for democracy and war. In
short, we've neither the cash nor the
Hillquit vision. Still, we have some
advice that MI. Hillquit can have. 1t
is that he should not rely much on
folks who have neither the cash nor
the vision.

VASSAR GIRLS MAKE GOOD.

VNooIn AuINeS INV
In times past girls went to Vassar
college to acquire class pennants,
high brow" ideas and degrees. They
devoted their vacations to good times.
Now, it seems, they go to accomp-
lish something worth while, and their
vacations are given up to better pur-
poses.
For instance-those IL Vassar girls
who spent last summer on a big farm,
doing work hitherto done by men and
doing it fully as well. Thereby they
released men for war service.
These girls, who have just returned
to school, cultivated 800 acres, doing
everything from blowing to harvest
ing of crops They did more than
farm men usually are content with,
for they canned much Of the crops
they grew--16,0OO quarts of tomatoes,
$50 quarts of asparagus, 1000 quarts
of Strawberries, hundreds of jars each
of beans, peas, corn and other vege'
tables. J"
The sum total Of their farming ef-
forts, measured in grain, vegetables,
fodder and fruit, will feed 1900 per-
sons all winter and 200 head of live
stock until next years crops are ripe.
Can you think of any other achieve
ment Of college girls the past summer
more worthy of the first medal OF
honor?

AN AMERICAN JOB.

Many a house of cards has been
tumblcd, many a rosy dream dis
PEELED, by the disquieting news from
Italy.
Apparently the Austrian armies,
greatly strengthened by German army
corps and unlimited Germany artil'
lery and shells, are blasting their way
at will through the Italian lines.
The Teutons have taken in less than
o week what, the Italians acquired by
hard and persistent fighting for over
two years. J
The story OF the Russian debacle on
the Duvajec river is being repeated.
When the Russians were apparently
at the apex Of their power, they sud
denly found themselves short of am,
munition. They had expended all
their shells and could turn nowhere
to get more. Thanks to their spy sys-
tenn, the Germans knew the exact mo.
ment when this condition existed and
took instant advantage of it.
So with what is happening on the
1sonzo. General Cadorna had made
srle ldid advances into Austrian ter.
ritcrv. He had defeated the TeutOns
in the most difficult mountain terri
tory in all Europe. And all the time
he was busy, Italy was sending out
to her allies an urgent and never
c~eas!ag call for help in the way of
shells, steel and coal.
The appeal very largely fell upon
deaf ear and the Germans knew it.
The time came when the Italian army
had few shells and the Germans
knew it. ~
With Rumania PROSTATE, with Rus
sin in a position where the kaiser
could view the one great Slav power
with contempt, it was possible. to
gather up great reserves of men and
munitions and mass them for this
%stupendous drive upon Italy.
Whether the present onslaught is
stopped or goes on, it has q tremend-
u and significant lesson for us as
Americans. Despite the fact that we
have given money to u government
for war purposes on a scale hitherto
unknown in history, we have not fully
realized that we are in this war.
There has lurked in the minds of
most Of US the hope or the belief that
some miracle would happen, and that
Germany's power for evil in the world
would suddenly crumble away.
The Italian news, bad as it is,
gloomy as it is, will in another way
prove a fortunate thing. 1t will open
the eyes Of Americans to the task
before them. 1t is the sternest task
in the world. 1t is the most difficult
in history. 1t is nothing less than
the Herculean job Of defeating the
military power of the Teuton nations.
What those nations have been able
to do in Italy is proof positive that
toy still possess great resources.
They have men. They have arms.
They have shells. They have well
equipped military leaders.
And what is just as important, the
victories Mackensen has just achieved,
will give the Germans once more a
morale they had been losing. Teu-

NAME YOUR FARM

We note that many OF our farmers
have taken a special pride in improv-
ing and fixing up about their premises
aud have given their farm home a
name, in many instances the name be-
ing displayed in q neat and attractive
sign over the entrance to the drive
way or front walk. The naming of a
farm gives it an individ duality and when
the premises are kept upin accord with
the name, it adds value to the farm.
We wish that more of our farmers
would take to the idea of naming their
farms and keeping them no to the
name. We have some beautiful farm
homes in Beaver county. II any Of
them are withou: names, we trust
that somebody. somehow will prevail
upon the owners to not only name the
farms and display an attractive sign
but also add the name OF the owner 30

lie highways may know those who are

BEAVER, TOWN OF GARDENS

The editor OF The Herald took ride
over town one evening this week to
ascertain ~ nearly as possible the
exact number Of gardens which are
being made by our people. We were
surprised indeed to see how extensive
ly our people have taken to back-ya ard
gardening. 1t seems that nearly
every home had little patch of ground
In cultivation and the gardens for the
most part, look thrifty and hardy.
We counted hundred and are quite
sure that there were some we missed.
We venture the assertion that there
are ut least l25 gardens in Beaver,
possibly more. Not so bad, is it?
