SHORTAGE OF MEN,
NOT MONEY, SAYS
F. A. VANDERBILT
Warning Against Danger of
Paper Money Initiation, a
Possible Danger
BY associated Press

st. Paul, Mimi. Dec. 13.-Warning
against the danger of paper money
imitation as a means of financing the
war was given to-day by Chairman
Frank A. Vanderlip, of the War Saw
ing Committee, in addressing a bank
ers luncheon in behalf of the War
Saving Stamps campaign.
The government faced shortage
of men and material, not money. he
declared, and therefore the printing
press could never satisfy the needs
arising from the war.
There are some impressive rea-
sons why this campaign for economy
should have the strongest support
of men of large affairs, of great cor
porations, of savings banks, and of
all interests that are concerned with
the future security value" Mr.. Van
derlip continued. "The alternative
of financing this war out of current
savings will be the attempt to fl
nance it by imitation; not by the in
fiation of bank credits alone; that is
almost inevitable. The danger is
that we might come to imitation by
the issue of paper money.
AT no time in the worlds history
when paper money imitation has any
where been tried was there a cor
porate condition such as we have to-
day; a situation where there are
many. many billion dollars of Sc
curities issued by public service cor
poration whose income is fixed by
law. The advancing price of all
things which corporations must have
to live, the prices Of labor, fuel,
equipment, supplies of every sort,
would show quick response to the
irritation of the currency but the in
come of those corporations would
still be governed by legal contracts
or governmental equations

forts toward a useful purpose and OBJ
serve the day in a manner BETTING
the circumstances of theimpending
war, /, Horace r. Graham, governor,
designate Friday, the fourth day of
May, Arbor and Bird day. Seedtime
demands our attention. Let US COM
bine profitable recreation and patri-
otism IN planting trees and food gar
dens. Many citizens are well quail
fed TO give practical instruction and
demonstration in planting. Let each
community provide one or more per-
sons to give such actual demonstra-
ton.
Our birds are a pleasure and a
great economic asset. They cheer US
by their songs and prevent the loss
of thousands of dollars worth of crops
by their destruction of insects. We
are striving for a maximum harvest,
the birds will help and they deserve
protection.
Let US join In conserving our nat
ural resources and in permeating our
industry with thrift. A state at work
is state at war.

seal of the state at Montpelier, this

graphic camera, when they began adj
vertising q years ago, made one
camera which took a Uncomfortable
inch picture and which sold at SIS.
Today they make far better camera
which sells at SO. Another, which
took a four-by-five picture, sold for
$50. Today they sell a far better one
for $50 And so on through the line.
A prominent hat-manufacturer has
by means of advertising reduced his
selling-cost seven cents a hat. Re-
suit, the buyer gets a hat of better
quality at no increase IN price; this
despite increased cost of raw materi-
al and workmanship,
When the manufacturer of ia
nous breakfast-food speciality began
advertising, his goods sold at fifteen
cents a package. Today the package
is SO per celt larger, and the price
has been reduced to ten cents. Again
advertising did it, the same causes
producing the same results.
The producer of another WE'LL known
food speciality is selling his goods at
Is per cent less to the wholesale gro
Gerry trade than four years ago.
Twenty years ago nationally ad
vertised shaving-stick was sold in a
cheap metal leatherette-covered box
Today a stick containing 20 per cent
more soap is sold in a handsome
nickel box at the same price.
Then take the most conspicuous
example of them all, the automobile
business, and compare the $4,000 or
$4,000 cars of ten years ago with the
equally good cars of today selling for
a fraction of the money.
And so on through a long list. In
every case the manufacturer either
has been able to lower the price or
improve the quality at no increase in
price.
How has he done it By means of
advertising, which has created a de-
mand on large scale and thus per-
nlitted production and distribution on
large scale. Result, improved
manufacturing efficiency and reduced
selling costs And all of this in the
face Of a steady increase in the cost
Of labor and raw materials, which
with advertising eliminated might in
many cases have fairly doubled the
price of the goods.
"a triumph of economical market
ing" is the only possible verdict for
advertising in the face of these facts.

Gone to the CoIOrs.

The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, baby
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered:
Come
The Kid, not being Stacker,
Stood forth with PATHOLOGY
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the colors;
1t seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse Of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His nlother-God blessher!-cried;
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened
Was Grandad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, q youngster,
Was changed by the Flag toa man!

down, cutting handful of flesh from

vantage of the gap in the fence, got
into the cornfeld and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, his wife ran, upsetting a four
gallon churn full of rich cream into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock" In her hurry she dropped q
seven-dollar set of teeth The baby,
left alone, crawled through the
spilled milk into the parlor and ruined
a twenty-dollar carpet. During the
excitement the oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man, the calves
got out and the dog broke up eleven
sitting hens.

PURCHASING VICTORY.

Gold as such never yet won a war.
Money is an important adjunct to the
pursuit of war but men are the great
factor in winning lasting victory.
The principle involved in this state
ment has at times been lost sight of
in the present war. Great Britain in
the first months of the conflict ap-
propriated lavishly of her money and
loaned vast sums to her allies but it
was not until England began to give
generously of her men that the tide
of battle turned for her.
The United States upon her entry
into the conflict gave at once gigan-
tic hordes of gold and some felt that
our part was done. This is character
istic of America-Young America.
Dads money will fix it.
But the real sinews of war-men-
We're lacking. Young America wanted
to purchase victory and stay at home
as three weeks of volunteering
showed. A call for 100000 men
brought 1892 regular army recruits.
Vermont lauded from within and
without for her $1,0O0,OOO war appro-
priation, an appropriation larger per
capita than that of any other state in
the union, produced according to al
lotment fewer volunteers for the ser
vice than any other state, just 10.
Vermont did not try to do her part in
1861 in this way. While she gave lib
orally of her money she contributed
more than her proportion of men.
So conscription has stepped in to
produce men-and men will produce
victory. Yet some fought conscrip-
ton. But Vermont's delegation in
congress stood for the measure.
Unless victory is already won
(Which the Washington conference
would not indicate) there must be
broken homes and spilled blood and
hardships borne which money cannot
heal or purchase, before there is real
victory for world democracy. In the
very nature of things democracy can
not be bought or given. It must be
won.
