appointed men. No time to drop a
letter to friends or the folks at
home or get bath or anything to
eat.
At 1890 we were marched on
board transport which had been
waiting for ten days. AS soon as
we got on board and began to stir
around among the marines who
were on board, we found some of
our friends who were with us at
Mare Island before we left for San
Diego. After hearty hand shake
we hunted a soft spot on the deck
to sleep and wondered why boys
will leave home.
The transport pulled anchor about
1:30 a. m. and in the morning we
all woke up and went to the main
deck to see if Germany was in
sight or German submarines. We
spent the morning watching the
land disappear into the water and
saw the sharks in the water and
the porpoises roll behind the ship.
Every once in a while there would
be a flying fish glide over the
water and disappear beneath the
the surface.
In about three hours "chow" was
served on the gun deck to US poor
hungry marines. Say those beans
sure tasted dear that time, because
they were few. Our cook didn't
have time to cook many that time.
By noon there was room for all be-
cause some began to feel queer and
by Chow time at night there
were still more who did not care to
eat. They were sea sick and awful
seasick.
The next day marine guards were
put on the ship and l was one of
the poor fellows chosen. | walked
my post in a military manner but
not keeping on the watch and look
out because l was seeing big fish
out at sea. Believe me, sure was
glad when that watch was over.
Who said marine doesn't have to
work on board ship? They had put
a lot of tar on the deck to fill up
the cracks and we had to scrape it
off again. The work didn't last
very long and on the fourth day we
sighted land. When we asked what
it was, some of the old timers said
it was the Cannibai Isles.
On August 25 we dropped anchor
in what we afterwards found to be
Guatamona Bay, Cuba. We un'
loaded the cargo which took from
6 o'clock in the morning until l &c
the next morning, with only halt
an hour for dinner and supper.
This is some place since we got
settled. l am getting used to the

To the Mothers and Fathers of
Kendrick:
In a little while your boy may be
Somewhere in France" You
won't know where. You'll only
know that somewhere on the firing
line, side by side with your neigh
boris boy, he will be fighting on
toward the goal that must be
reached before the war is done.
And here at home you will wait
and pray that he'll come back just
as he went away, with shoulders
back and head erect, and in his
eyes the light that comes into the
eyes of those in whom there is no
fear that future days or months or
years no one may point at him and
say:-"He heard and answered
not"
And while he's gone, unless
you're brave beyond the strength
of human kind. you'll dream of
him, and wake, and in those hours
of the day-the darkest-jnst as
morning breaks, You'll take the
hand that soothed his brow IN baby
hood and hold it tight and wonder
how it goes with him and where he
is when morning breaks on that
same day Somewhere in France"
! And then, if you have "dJne
your bit" back home, while he is
over there, if you have sent across
the seas Red Cross nurse and
what she needs, surgeon to hold
back the life that looks down where
the valley lies and shadows lurk,
there'll come that light into your
eyes and you'll know no one car
point to you and say:-"He htarG
and answered not. Handed in by

people OF modest means and the gov
ernment would be unable to purchase
the Necessaries imperatively needed.
While this. of course, might result in
reducing the high cost of living to in
dividuals of ample means 1t is quite
clear that it would at the same time
intolerably raise the cost of living to
the people and the government: and the
worst and most fatal of all. IT would
deprive them of the means of living
and fighting.
This leads me to observe that true
economy under war exigencies would
be best subserved by those who can
afford it to draw mildly upon this
supply and to try to satisfy their
needs much as possible for supplies
not coming within the category of
Necessaries. The greater the divers
ty in the use of food stuffs, wearing
apparel and, in short. of everything
mot within the term Necessaries. the
more obviously will the demand and
the drive upon the Necessaries be re-
lieved; and the more plentiful the
cheaper and the more easily available
will be the supply of Necessaries for
the wage earners and the government
and the more plentiful and the more
easily available, and. therefore. the
cheaper will be the supply OF Neces-
saries required by the government for
the exigencies of the war.
Of course, the time may come when
the supply OF money Will be so short
in this country that the mere saving
Of money even by the wealthy will be-
come mandatory. But it must be plain
/ to everyone that the mere saving Of
money and the retention of it in the
pockets of the individual of ample
means will not help the country OF
the situation any unless the resultant
saving finds its way in the shape of
taxes or contributions into the treas
ury of the United States. But at this
time. the mere saving o, money by the
already wealth merely to increase their
own wealth does not ifelp the situation
materially. 1t is the Necessaries that
I'VE are short on and the supply of
which il is imperative that we should
conserve and, of course. the supply.
already too scant or limited for our
normal needs. can not be conserved by
adding to il a further abnormal and
enormous increase.
Then there is another collateral ben
Efficient result which follows from
such a non-use of Necessaries and that
is the necessarily resultant purchase
and consumption Of articles not em-
braced within the term Necessaries.
That is to say. not only does the use
| of a diversity of food-stuffs and wear
I ing apparel relieve the fierce demand
on Necessaries but ii keeps all busi-
ness engaged in other lines going and
business keeps the factories, fields and
mines going. These. in turn, keep men
going and this brings wages and the
ability TO purchase the Necessaries re-
quired by them 1t increases the avail
able supply OF Necessaries and reduces

the high cost OF living. an other words,
such economy means little. il any. dis
location or interruption of the indus
trial or business machinery of fthe
country or impairment of our domestic
prosperity. The sinews of war must
come in large part from the tax on
business profits end the incomes which
flow therefrom to individuals. 1t
would be short-sighted economy
which would destroy or seriously I'M
pair business or Industrial prosperity
and thus dry up the spring from which
the revenues flow.
AS ! see il then. wise. intelligent
and discriminating economy at this
time consists: First--in the elimina-
tion of all waste especially in the use
of Necessaries: second-in the very
sparing and economic use of Neces-
saries; third-in the practice on the
part of those possessed of ample
means to try 10 satisfy their needs and
wants as much as possible from things
other than Necessar.es. using Neces-
aries only when a fair substitute is
wanting.
Thus. by practice OF wise. intelli-
gent and discriminating economy there
viii be Necessaries enough to go
around; our people will suffer no
want; our government will have suffi-
cient of everything needed to supply
our armed forces and those of our al
lies: commerce and industry will suf-
fer little. If any, harms our people will
enjoy contentment and Tranquility at

by members of the mob, who calmly asked the soldiers to give them their weapons, lest the guardsmen hurt some one in the crowd.
 Two young white girls boarded a car at Broadway and Main and drag ged negro woman to the street. A cheer went up from the men as the negress was pulled off the car. She attempted to break away, but one girl took off her shoe and pounded the ne- gress over the head, and she was bleeding when a guardsman arrested her. The white girls, about IT years old were not arrested.
 Ghastly Amusement.
 The mob obtained ghastly amuse- ment in the lynching of one negro. Two white men tied rope around the blacks neck and started to pull him into the air. The rope broke and the white men fell flat on their backs The crowd laughed. The negro drop ped to the ground, dead.
 As three negroes tried to escape from a burning building, the mob spied them. One negro was hanged to 8 telephone post and the other two were shot. The three dead bodies were left lying in the street.
 The immediate cause of the riotine today was an outbreak of negroes late last night, but for several days there has been evidence of bad blood, and or Saturday might several minor clashes between whites and blacks occurred.

Changed ores.e. Change Lovers.

Dorothy and Elsie were virtually twins not only in appearance but in taste. Each had dress the other one liked, and they decided to trade. It happened that Dorothy and Elsie had previously met two young men, and being only slightly acquainted with the girls, they judged each girl by the dress she wore, with the natural result that they traded girls. Time passed. The inevitable happened. As their wedding day approached they were still unaware of the mistaken identity. But, of course, confession was neces- sary, and each young man had to orig mate new names to call his best be. loved and so the crisis passed. .-Indian- apolis News.
