The Danger in
Economy

PRESIDENT wilson mas calle0 on tne
country to economize in every possible
way. But there is a danger in having the
wrong idea about economy The danger is
not in knowing what economy means.
Many people think economy means merely
saving" geeting goods at low prices.
Economy means management; it may pay
higher instead of a lower price.
Every farmer, every business man, ev-
cry housewife knows that low price isn't
necessarily economy. A pure bred dairy
COW at $500 may be more economical than
common grade animal at 500. The wise
merchant doesn't always buy the lowest
priced merchandise he can find his Gus
toners want quality more than low prices
The prudent housewife often pays little
more for her supplies than the lowest price.
In short, economy means management; it
appreciates that in good quality there's
greater service and less waste.
It's the same way about mems clothes,
A $l2 or SIS price looks good compared
with $25 price; but real economy COM
pares the clothes, not the prices; not the
way they look when new, but the way
they'll look after six months wear Econ
omy insists on all-woQl fabrics; the fact,
not the words. Anybody can say "all-
WOOL" nearly everybody does. Economy
says, when you can't test the quality for
yourself, buy on confidence in the maker
or the seller"

BOY HERO WINS
VALOR MEDAL ON
ITALIAN Front

ROME, Italy. - Sub-Iieutenant Da
irazzi, 10 years old, who was in com
mand OF the patrol Of three men which
captured 200 Austrians and afterward
raised the first flag over the city oil
Gorftz, has just been awarded the gold
medal for valor.
In relating the story of the incident
he said: ..~F
Il was out Of the lines in command
of a patrol Of three men, and discover,
ed that an Austrian detachment was
barricaded under the railroad bridge
close to Isonzo. The Austrians were
in a sort of tunnel, the entrance OF
which was protected by sandbags and
timber. Our guns were firing all over
the place. decided to enter the tunnel,
and went in, pistol in hand, shouting
Surrender ordered my three men to
cover the officers with their rifles, tell
ing them that SO long as the officers
did not move their men would not show
any fight. And, In fact that is exactly
what happened. - ...@:.
Five minutes passed and was
thinking to myself that it was Inn
possible to get the Austrians out. We
disarmed the officers and got them out
and sent one Of my three men to our
lines to report that we had captured
200 Austrians and needed reinforce
ments. The man went to our lines and
came back on his hands and knees,
crawling to escape our fire and report
ed that reinforcemcnts could not be
sent before the artillery had ceased
fire. We waited for good bit. and ]
had to shout at the Austrians the
whole time to keep still. Finally the re-
Inducements arrived and took the
whole lot prisoners.
Il strolled toward the Isonzo and
saw some men under cover. DO you
want to come with me? asked them.
They wanted to know where to. and
when / said. Goritz, of course they re-
piled that the Austrians were firing
against the bridge and that it was inn
possible to cross it. 1 know that,
said, but come along all the same.
