That New York fan Of fans who
gathered the dope on all National and
american League teams and gained
the consensus of opinion Of many
spore writers regarding the relative
ehanees or the various clubs for the
pennants, Is in a fair way to miss q
guess: He hgured the Giants as a
nity-ntty choice fo1 the National
League flag. He, along with everyone
else, overlooked the Cubs. With Fred
Mitchell at the helm, the Windy CITY
club Is sailing along like a submarine

the league walloping in its wake.

Be Economical But Not Foolish

Worse, il possible, that extrava-
gance just at this time would be false
idea of economy. IF the people be-
come hysterical over the matter OF
conservation the very ends aimed at
will surely be defeated.
We should bear in mind that, pro-
vided our great waste and extrava-
gance is eliminated, there will be
plenty Of food in the country to sup
ply the necessities of every person.
There snow no call. and probably
will not be, for any person to deny
himself or hesslf sufficient good
nourishing food. On the contrary,
all should strive to keep themselves
up to their best. Fat plenty, and the
best you can afford, then you will be
able to do your full share of the work
that Is before us.
Napoleon wisely said that ian
army travels on its stomach" And
it is equally true that we work on
our stolnachs. A hungry man or
woman is incompetent for any task.
And 1t will be all too easy for us to
develop false economy in other
lines. Miserliness and boarding Of
means would be most dangerous to
business coalitions. Anything that
checks the normal volume OF eX-
change unsettles the markets and
tends to promote panics. In fact, this
is q large factor In all financial
panics. Money becomes little
scarce, and we at once imagine that
il we turn loose the dollar we have
we will never see another. Millions
of other people imbibe the same idea.
You know the result.
The sensible economy and the true
patriotism is for each to exert him
self to keep the business of the coun-
try normal. Buy and sell, earn and
spend, as only by such a course can
business be kept healthy and on the
up grade.
Be economical and prudent, but
DON'T be miser.

Special Editions

Our esteemed neighb0r, the Ste&uh-

Fourth of July edition. Needless to
say it was up to the Pilots high
standard - editorially and typogra-
phically speaking.
But the finest special edition to
reach our desk in many day was
the last issue of the Weld County
News, published at the historic town
of Greeley, Colorado. The edition was
COTTON out in commemoration Of the
dedication of Weld county's new
and magnificent county building
handsome and commOdious enough
to be n state capitol building.
The special edition. like the new
court house, was splendid effort.
Unlike the general run of special
editions, it was not an advertising
affair, but was largely given over to
q historical review of the town (now
city, of Greeley and Weld county.
