THE NEED OF ECONOMY AND
SAVING.

The United States is now at
war. A large party of our coun-
try's human energy is taken
away from the farms, factories,
and industries of peace, and un-
til the war ends all their ener-
gies will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our produc-
tive energy is being turned into
the creation of implements of
destruction. Many of our prod
ucts 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 purpose of war, so should
the proper amount of the money
of the United States be so devot-
ed. He who offers his life fol-
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 financ'
ed largely out of the savings Of
the American people during the
war. 1t is not too great a sacri
flee to make for ones country lr
time of war to deny ones sci
luxuries, to. cut down unneces
sary expenses, to lead quiete
and buster lives. Not only will
the money thus saved and uset
to buy Liberty Loan Bonds, hell
the United States but the dimin
ished consumption of food AM
other articles will do much to re
lieve the country from the strai!
of war.

The less the people use the
strain there is upon the produc-
tive capacity of the Nation
the more can be devoted to Win
ming the war; the more the
people save the more liberal
financial support can they give
the Government. This is the
PEOPLES 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.
