THANKSGIVING OFFERING FOR
THE FRENCH

At the battle of Yorktown the French
soldiers outnumbered the Americans. To-
day the land of Lafayette is asking of
America 1000 tons of sugar to relieve
her distress. We can but share our abund-
ance with our allies of then and now.
Americans consume sugar at the rate of
seven and a half pounds a month per
person. The French have been on an al
lowance of less than two pounds month
and must soon go without any unless we
can help. We have enough to carry us
at our present rate of consumption until
the first of the new year, when the new
crop comes from Cuba. The French
shortage will occur during the months of
November and December.
Can we cut our customary allowance
one-third and share with those who will
otherwise have none of this necessity?
Eat less candy, less sweet drinks, less
sugar on oatmeal, less cake and pie for
the next two months-then we can make
a worthy Thanksgiving offering from
America to the people of Lafayette.

THRIFT.

After the war will come long era of
rebuilding and readjustment. The nations
that are fighting today will bind up their
wounds and will 60 forth to further con-
quests-not of shrapnel and .bayonets, but
OF gold.' This declaration is made by S.
w. Straus, President of the American
Society for Thrift in the current issue of
Tie Thrift Magazine.
1T will be a fight for business the
world around and each nation will sue
coed IN exact proportion to the individual
efficiency of its citizens. Therefore, it
stands us we'll in hand today to look to
our future-to see if we are adequately
equipped for this great era of business
rivalry.
After the war, we shall have great
merchant marine and we shall be in a
stronger financial position than any ma
ton now at war. In many regards, we
shall have tremendous advantage over
all rivals.
but when it comes to the matter of
individual thrift, we shall be at disad-
vantage.
Americas record in all matters per-
tanning to individual thrift has been dis
graceful. We have been known through
out the world as nation of spendthrifts.
In the great commercial struggle between
the nations of the earth that is to follow
the dawn of peace, the rigid practice of
Individual thrift will be necessary if we
hope to hold our own in this worldwide
struggle.
when we reach the end of military
warfare, we shall have gained the thresh-
old IN international business conflict.
1.-The survival of the fittest is law of
nature that never will be repealed. Peace
protocols do not eliminate business rivalry
among the nations of men,"

Wonder how many people have thought
of and are using the plan of an Augusta
man, who cares for several furnaces, by
which he keeps at this time of year fire
in only half the fire box, thus effecting
great saving in coal? 1t is simple enough,
Just bank up half the crate surface with
ashes and keep the fire in the remaining
part and you will get all the heat you
need. One householder said to the Jour
nal yesterday that her saving was about
half a ton per week and that means
considerable in these days of high prices

Women's Club of New York, which was
held at the Waldorf-Astoria, was largely
attended. Most of the session was devot-

might best do it's bit for the soldiers. In
stead of furnishing an ambulance, Mrs
Henry Judson Shaw, the president, pro-
posed that fund be raised to send Red
Cross kitchen trailer to France. These
Kitchen trailers are the very latest
American idea. They follow the ambu-
lances to provide hot soups and other

gestion appealed strongly to the Maine
women, and in less than five minutes
practically the entire amount necessary
for kitchen trailer was contributed.
