The Extremes of Economy
From the Christian Science Monit

(F'rom the Christian Science Monitor)
Some complaint has recently been
heard to the effect that retail business
and kindred kinds of trade are begin
ming to feel the effects of the wave of
economy that is passing over the
United States. Now, there is wide
difference between thrift and cheese
pairing" economy. Americans have the
reputation of going to extremes in al
most everything they undertake. In
the present instance it is believed that
they have gone to an extremity, in the
practice of economy, that is [not war.
ranted. Fear is the underlying cause
of it all. When this fear passes away,
as 1t is sure to do eventually, the abb
surdity of it all will be appreciated.
There is no reason why the clothing
business, the drygoods business, or any
otherssimilar line of trade, should suf-
fer reaction on account of the war,
and yet these very lines are showing
marked slackening of activity. On the
other hand, those providing foodstuffs,
coal and other necessaries have been
most active, and are exhibiting the
greatest difficulty in meeting the de-
mands of the consumers. The people
themselves are largely responsible.
They have heard so much about the
scarcity of food that many of them
have been boarding it. Grocers and
provision merchants generally report
that well-to-do customers have been
laying in slarge quantities of food
stuffs, bidding against one another in
an unreasonable desire to lay up stores
for the future. Prices have scared in
consequence of this boarding, and be-
cause of inadequate distribution, and
the extraordinary export demand for
| almost everything produced from the
soil. The result is that people of
small means, who have nothing that
could be dignified by the name of cap
ital, are unable to keep pace with their
more fortunate neighbors, and are
obliged to pay the highest prices for
everything they buy.
The billions of dollars to be raised in
the United States for war purposes
will mostly be spent within the bor-
ders of the country. The financial ac-
tivity thus represented is bound to ac-
celerate trade rather than diminish it.
There may be an occasional halt, as at
the present time in certain directions,
out clothing merchants, dressmakers,
milliners, automobile manufacturers,
jewelers., and those engaged in other
trades, need have no fear for the fu-
tue. If history repeats itself, as it
seems in the habit of doing, the wave
of "frenzied frugality" will soon give
place to sane, practical mode of liv-
ing. Real economy is necessary and
highly desirable, and when its import
ance and meaning are realized, no one
need suffer from a result of its prac-
tice.

The Birth of A Nation

Slavery in half the states of the
Union! Abraham Lincoln, the man
risen from the people to deliver them
The moral and political separation of
one half the sovereign states from the
remainder of the Union! The tremen-
dous and never-to- -be-forgotten Ameri-
can Civil War, with all its horrors
Then the Carpetbag rule; devastation
of the conquered South; the free and
ignorant slaves creating a reign of
terror among the whites-the organ
iZation and the enforcement of the Ku
Klux Klan upon the blacks-all en-
twined with love of Northerner for
Southerner, and visa versa-of suffer-
ing, death, despair and heartache-
these are the principal features of
D. w. Griffith's indescribable produc-
tion, The Birth OF A Nation. A real
ization so swift, so mighty, so absorb
mig that it makes three hours whirl by
like a few moments, and sends the
bewildered spectators stumbling out
of the theatre, struggling for their
bearings and gasping for very breath.
The Birth OF A Nation will never
see a rival, for it has covered all the
drama of the Nation, and covered it
too vividly for others to even approach
it. Every time it unfolds upon a
screen, that time the life.drama of
Americta is re-enacted.
This world famous spectacle makes
its appearance in its entirety at the
Electric theatre on July 8 and 10 with
special o'clock matinees daily. Mat
inee prices are 25c for children and SOC
for adults. Evenings at p. M, prices,
reserved seats, 75c and $l.OO. There
will be no children's prices at night,
owing to the limited seating capacity,
also on account of the length of the
performance, which takes three hours.
The performance runs three hours
and is accompanied by the organiza-
tion's own musical director with a
splendid musical score.
Seats may be reserved by telephone
or by mail.
