SAVING SUGAR FOR FRANCE

Herbert Hoover asks the American
public to use less sugar so that the
French may not be derived altogether
of their scant allowance. The appeal
is prompted by the French govern
mcnt's urgent need of 100000 tons
of sugar to maintain the French peo-
pies present minimum sugar ration
of an ounce day.
The Food Administrators new re-
quest should strike more directly home
than his previous caution for economy
in sugar consumption for the general
conservation of supply. For Amer
leans are now asked to save sugar
for the men of the Marine and the
Somme, the men of Nerdun.
Can there be any doubt Of the re-
sponsc? If our consumption were
cut in two it would still be more than
double that of the French. No doubt
it is easier to give money and to knit
sweaters than to deny ourselves the
pleasures of the palate. But if there
is real sincerity in our professions of
sympathy for our oppressed and heroic
allies, there should be no difficulty
in saving enough from our lavish al
lowance to exc out their scanty sup
ply.

HOW TO SEND MAGAZINES
AND BOOKS TO SOLDIERS s
Many Magazines May BE Forwarded
Simply By AffiNing One-Cent Stamp
Library will Receive Books and
Magazines.

Charlotte A. Baker, State Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colorado:
There are two ways of sending used
reading matter to men in the service.
All magazines which have the follow
ing notice printed in the upper right
hand corner may be mailed for l.
cent. The notice reads, Notice to
reader. When you finish reading this
magazine, place a 1-cent stamp on
this notice, hand the same to any
postal employee and he will place It
in the hands of the soldiers at the
front. No wrapping. No address.
A. S. Burleson, Postmaster General" ;"
The second way is to take your
magazines and periodicals to the
nearest library. Your library will
send them to the Denver public library
which is the Colorado headquarters
for the assembling of all reading mat
erial for our soldiers. Here they
will be sorted and sent to the various
camps and cantonments throughout
the United States. Books sent to the
cantonments are to be moved with
the troops as they go abroad.
Current events magazines must not
be over two months old. Other per-
lodicals must be recent and reliable.
Technical, trades, scientific, mechanic
cal and high grade fiction magazines
are wanted. Good books are also
wanted. By good books is meant not
the kind you give away when you
clean house or want more room on
your book shelves for live, interest
ing reading, but the books you, your
self, like to read many times and
show to your friends as valued trea-
sures.

GET TOGETHER FOR
Permanent PROSPERITY.

Every man and woman engaged In
American factories, mills and mines,
whether they know English or speak
1t, are naturalized or intend to be-
come citizens, have a direct interest
in maintaining industrial prosperity.
When times are good, all workers
should not only be thrifty in habit and
lay up a little something for possible
rainy days, but they should do all they
can to keep the good times with us.
Simply because your language is diff
ferent from that of the foreman, over
seer, superintendent, manager or owner
Of the plant in which you earn living,
is no excuse for misunderstanding your
own common interest in prosperity by
hating your partner in your own in
dustry or listening to and following
the gospel of dissension and violence
which selfish agitators so often preach.
Do not blindly follow the man who
tells you how hard your lot is. Often
he is doing so untruthfully and for the
purpose of getting you to contribute
membership money for his own support
in idleness. Agitators get rich by prey
ing on the men in American industry,
whom they urge into unlawful or harm
full acts by misrepresenting conditions
or holding out foolish and false prom
Uses of better things if they follow
their orders. You know conditions
yourself, and you know or ought to
know that the man or men whom the
agitator who pictures your employer as
on inhuman driving machine is actual
ly a partner with you, interested in
having the plant or industry successful.
The more successful your plant or
industry becomes, the more room for
you to grow with it there will be. 1t
should be your feeling, then, that you
will not do as little as you may find it
convenient to do, but to do just as
much as you possibly can do, and then
reasonably expect to share in the re-
wards that always come to the efficient
worker.
Do not be clock watcher in the fac
tory. Those who wait for hours to
strike or whistles to blow and soldier"
at the bench, machine or in the Office,
never get ahead in the ranks Of in
dustry. They never get any more pay
because they are not worth any more,
and often are worth less than they get.
Remember the old adage that a man
who never does any more or as much
as he gets paid for, never gets paid
for any more than he does.-Industria
Conservation, N. Y.

PUTTING BUSINESS RIGHT
WITH THE PUBLIC.

A few years ago some big industrial
organizations and certain railroads en-
ployed business tactics which, accord
ing to the popular idea, would make
the financial adventures Of Pizarro,
Morgan or Captain Kidd look as anna
flourish as the verbal exploits of BohlS'
Make-Believe.
All are more or less acquainted with
the details. We will concede that there
were some glaring abuses, but the pub
Lie when it came to apply a remedy ig-
nored the fact that these were peculiar
to comparatively few institutions and
instead of tackling the trouble where
it lay furiously assailed everything
classiiable as business-the trust mag
nate, the independent manufacturer
ready and anxious to obey the law, the
small retailer, a law abiding and use
full citiZen-the innocent and the guilty
suffering alike. Seemingly the law was
invoked not to regulate, but to perse-
cute.
There could be but one result Bust
ness was demoralized, and the whole
country has felt the evil effects. Now
the public Is beginning to realize its
error and in a rather grudging way Is
making some concessions.
Business is being permitted to speak
for itself, and movement has been In
stituted by the leading business men
Of the country under the title Of the
National Industrial Conservation Move
ment for the purpose of repairing the
damage that has been done. Nothing
revolutionary is contemplated. The
plan is simply to educate the public by
taking it into the business mans conf
dence. Meetings will be held in vari-
GUS trade and Industrial centers. All
classes of citizens will be invited. The
purpose of these meetings is to give the
public a new and correct viewpoint as
to the effects of drastic legislation and
restriction of business on the prosper
ity Of the country. Every effort will
be made to give the public a clear view
Of the problems and difficulties which
beset business.
Special favors are not sought through
these meetings, only fair play. 1t is
believed that once the citizen grasps
the situation his whole attitude toward
business will change and that he will
readily cooperate toward bringing
about better conditions.
Commercial and other civic orgafiza-
lions and the local press are already
showing great interest in this move
ment, and IT Is reasonable to believe
that much good will come from it

Water Pressure,

As early as 1913 a Frenchman Of
science named Pascal experimental
with preSsures applied to liquids and
discovered the following law: A pres
sure applied to any part of the sur
face Of liquid is transmitted I'M
changed in amount in every direction
through the liquid.
Perhaps the most familiar applica-
ton of Pascars law is the hydraulic
press. In that machine pump having
q small piston drives water into a large
cylinder and thereby forces upward a
large piston, which congresses what
ever IS placed between the platform OF
the piston and the fixed cruSsbeam at
the top of the press. II the area OF
the larger piston is 100 times that OF
the smaller a downward force Of one
pound exerted on the smaller piston
will create an upward force OF lOO
pounds upon the larger piston.

Teaching Birds Tricks.

A professor Of natural history re-
flutes the statement so frequently made
that teaching a bird to draw water
needs apparatus and that the learning
Is cruelty to the bird.
'The following experience of mine"
be says, proves that it is not so by
any means. We bought young bird
last January, so wild that ON our ap-
proach it flew madly round the cage
We hung the cage low and by patience,
after the bird got used to our proxim-
hJ, induced it to take groundsel, first
held at STEMS length, then between the
fingers, finally from the lips. We used
to let him out freely, and he would

FOUND IMAGE In CAVE.
Crude Stone Idol Probably Antedates
Indian Mound Builders.

Madisonville, Ky.-E. L. Littlepage
Of the Morton Gap country brought to
thc place recently a stone image that
Is a curiosity and probably Of historic
value.
Mr.. Littlepage found it at the edge
of a cave on a high elevation In North
Christian county, KY, while inyestigat-
ing some prospective oil land belonging
to him. The cave Is located In a wild
and broken section of land uncultivat-
ed and but thinly inhabited.
The image is rudely carved out Of
tough, ferrous sandstone. 1t is about
six inches In height and is well pre-
served, except for a slight injury on
one side Of its head and slight wealth
ering Of one arm. The figure is in
sitting position, with its legs doubled
under its body and arms extended In
front, with hands resting on its knees.
The image is evidently a relic Of an
idol worshiping people and antedates
any old Indian relic found In various
Indian mounds in western Kentucky.

chase in automobiles took place near

Ham. John liam. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin
Seaman and William Warning. They
went in two ears and took three grey
hounds in each car.
Mr.. Warning says that auto polo Is

Some Trees.

In the angle between the Kings and
Kern canyons lies a woodland empire
beside which the Harz and Black for
est Of Germany would appear almost
diminutive. Within the borders Of the
Sequoia National park and the General
Grant National park near by there are
no fewer than 1,166,000 sequoia trees,
and of these 1900 are more than ten
feet in diameter. In the Sequoia Ma
ional park stands the largest tree In
the world-nOt the tallest, but the larg-
est-the General Sherman tree, with q
diameter of 800 feet and a height Of
279.9 feet. Its massive trunk and
branches contain about 100000 feet

The Famous "Green Man of Brighton"
In October, 1906, an individual was
to be observed at Brighton, England,
who walked out every day dressed in
green from head to foot-green shoes,
green gloves, green handkerchief and
other articles to match. This eccen-
trio person lived alone, knew nobody,
and In his house the curtains, the wall
paper, the furniture, even the plates
and dishes and the smallest toilet ar
ticles, offered an uninterrupted Sc
Quence Of green. Having started on
his career, there was obviously no rea-
son to stop, and with full consistency
he carried his scruples so far as to eat
nothing but fruit and vegetables of the
same green color. The consequences
were extremely disastrous. One fine
day the green man jumped from his
window into the street, rushed forward
and performed a second somersault
from the top Of the nearest cliff.
