The Need of Economy and Saving

The United States is now at
war, A large part of our coun-
try's human energy is taken
away from the farms, factories
and industries of peace, and I'M
til the war ends all their ener-
gies will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our pro-
ductive energy is being turned
into the creation of implements
of destruction. Many of our
products are now being devoted
to purposes of war. Destruction
instead of construction is the OBJ
ject of a great portion of the
country's energy.
AS much of the human energy
and productive capacity of the
Nation are now being devoted to
the purposes Of war, so should
the proper amount of the money
of the United States be so devot-
ed. He who offers his life for
his country is offering the great
est possible sacrifice, but the
American men and women who
support the Government with
their money are doing their part.
This war is going to be
financed largely out of the saw
ings of the American people dur
ing the war. It is not too great
a sacrifice to make for ones
country in time of war to deny
ones self luxuries, to cut down
unnecessary expenses, to lead
quieter and buster lives. Not
only will the money thus saved
and used to buy Liberty Loan
Bonds help he United States but
the diminished consumption Of
food and other articles will dc
much to relieve the country from
the strain of war.
The less the people use the
less strain there is upon the pro.
ductive capacity of the Nation
and the more can be devoted tt
winning the war; the more the
people save the more liberal f.
nancial support can they give the
Government. This is the PEG
pies war, and it is to be financed
by the American people, not by
the rich and not by the poor, but
by the rich and the poor, the
capitalist and the wage Garner,
the miner and the farmer anC
the manufactures.

The Supreme Sacrifice

When the history of the Unit
ed States in this war comes to
be written we think that the his
torian will be obliged to record a
spirit of self-sacrifce more all
pervading among the people than
in almost any other war that has
engaged the Nation. We see it
in every form of activity among
women and men for the Red
Cross, and we have seen it in ev-
cry form for the first Liberty
Loan, and we see it in the free
and spontaneous responses COM
ing from every class to the many
calls of the Government in or
ganizing the material and spirit
ual forces of the country for war.
Where there are SO many cas-
es of sacrifice of time and money
and convenience, and even of
cherished individual opinions and
prejudices, without thought of
reward or of any material con-
sideration, it would be invidious
to single out any one for public
mention. Yet the discriminating
future historian must pause at
one name in this almost endless
roll of honor, and We should

to defend Old Glory at sixty if

my opinion. These men who

moving heaven and earth to get

strut, swagger and blaspheme
about a war for Democracy; but
they nor their precious posterity

Reading and language are lamen'

born long on number, and hence
regard reading, language history

Mrs. Tatum Files New Suit
Wants Husbands Estate to
Paw $4,000 in Notes

Mrs. John c. Tatum fled papers yes
terday in the Supreme Court at Mine
ola, Long Island, in a suit to recover
from her husbands estate $4,000 and
weekly payments at the rate Of SlbO,
alleged to be in arrears since June 10,
1916. Mr.. Tatum died last April.
In her complaint Mrs. Tatum says
that she received two promissory notes
for $4,000 each from her husband on
June 10, 1915. One matured the follow
ing September and the other in Deem
Der, 1916. Neither, Mrs. Tatum says,
has been paid She was to receive the
$50 a week after June Is, 1916, she al
leges, in consideration of her REIN
auishment Of her dover rights IN the
property at Great Neck which was so
long in controversy.
MIR. Tatum left his residuary estate
to his niece, Mildred Brown, who is one
of the executors. The residuary estate
includes the Great Neck property,
which is valued at 100000.
David Tatum, an executor, declared
that no agreement to pay the notes had
teen admitted by the executors, and
that the question of the weekly pay
ments was in dispute.
Suit for divorce was brought by John
c. Tatum in 1914. The verdict was IN
his wife's favor. In skirmishes which
followed to obtain possession of the
Great Neck estate, each got warrants
for the other.
