Accountant Honored.

Samuel Hardman Lever, widely
known in the United States as an ac-
countant, has been honored by the
king with an appointment to the most
honorable Order of the Bath, deco
ration conferred for meritorious ser

financial secretary to the treasury and
formerly was assistant financial secre-
tary to the ministry of munitions.
Although an Englishman, born in
Liverpool, Mr.. Lever lived nearly all
his life in America. When war broke
out he returned to England to do his

they Spared the Noncombatant.

Among small party of war CORE
spondents that recently visited the
front at La Bassee, France, was 4. FL.
Griffith, who was private secretary to
the late Lord Strathcona. He became
exhausted, says w. G. Shepard in Ev-
erybody's Magazine, and he fell behind
in full view of the German snipers.
They saw large gentleman, dressed
in golf costume, take off his golf cap,
wipe the perspiration from his fore
head, lean like an exhausted man
against the pile of sandbags that
formed the entrance to the trench, and
settle himself contentedly for a rest.
Mr.. Grifith's unriddled body is testi-
mony to the fact that the Germans
played cricket" as the English call it,
that day. Scores of them had a chancel
to kill the man in the golf costume, but
some Teutonic phrase ran along the
line that gave him his life.

DON'T DENY NECESSITY.

Consumption is the basis of all wealth. With
out consumption, producing would be wasteful.
Money creates money only as money buys
something produced.
Wealth that does anybody amy good is that
wealth that constantly changing hands-produc-
ing something for the consumer, sensibly says the
Meridian Star.
1.-THE consumer shuts off buying, then wealth
cannot increase and it becomes a drug-fnancial
dope, and quite as harmful to society as any 9TH
er dope is to the individual.
Wealth might produce abundance of anything,
but unless that abundance were consumed it
would not benefit the producer.
And if the producer is not benefited millions
of people will be thrown cat of work for the pro-
Queer, no more than the c~saploye, will labor with
out remuneration.
We must have prospc lily in this country if
VIZ are to meet the obligs lions of war into which
we have properly entered as a self respecting ma
ton.
We cannot pay the enormous taxes we are to
be called upon to pay unless the country is pros
porous.
1t will be impossible for the government to
the vast sums needed unless there is work
for everybody, at fair wage and unless those
earning such wages spend reasonably of their
So it is plainly up to the consumer to go on
about his buying as usual, if we arc to be able to
the government.
Everybody should live as well as p%ossiblese as
nearly normal as they have been living during
the past few years, in order to keep our farmers,
our merchants, our manufacturers, our business
enterprises going and prevent disaster that will
surely follow reducing business to a dangerous
level, that would necessitate throwing many peo-
pie out of employment.
We do not mean for the people to be extrava-
CANT, wasteful, or Indifferent; such a course, es-
pecialy in the matter of food would be criminal,
if not suicidal, but there is no reason why any one
should go hungry if they have the money to buy
food; no more reason than there is for people to
wear ragged clothing, or shoes with the toes stick
ing out, or hats with no brims or holes in the top
'r c~ollarless, or without neckties, or handkerchiefs
% blow our noses on.
The thing to do is to live as nearly as we can
Up to our ordinary standard, attend good enter
ailments, be as comfortable as we can and keep
business going.
To our way of thinking it is quite as patriotic
o do this as it is to do other patriotic things.

SOBER THOUGHT ON THE WAR.


liberty in order that the world might be safe fo1
democracy has passed away. The exaggerated
patriotism of the man who hammered for war has
surrendered to the officer giving commands to
those who have come out for service.
The people at home owe the soldiers at the
front one thing above all else, that they shall
guard their passions, smother their emotions and
be on their guard lest the intensity of their feel
ings obscure the cause of their nations struggle.
The people at home should not endanger the lives
OF American soldiers in order to appease a long,
ing cry for vengeance. They should remember
that they are at home, and that the lists were op-
en- for them to take up the fight, but that they
stayed at home, and were silent, when the call
for men went around.
We have some in training now, we know 9TH
ers dear to US, who will see service should the
war last, and we sorrow at their loss, even though
it be but for a day Of their lives. To turn a man
from the peaceful pursuits of life is a fearful
thing and to train a nation to kill is a thing that
should not be prolonged. We regret that war
has come to our country and we insist that it must
not be needlessly extended in order to enforce
striking victory by either side. This is in line
with President Wilson's idea of peace without VIC
tory; in no other way can permanent peace be
found. The world will be made safe for demo-
cracy, not through compulsion, but through ad-
justment, compromise and Cancellation.
MAAAAAA
The British have lost no time in praising us.
Nothing is too nice to hand us on silver platter
or a golden one. All of which, however, should
not cause US to lose our collective heads" The
allies are naturally grateful to US for coming to
their rescue, and such shortcomings as we may
possess or develop must be discovered on this
side of the ocean. Our allies are so polite and
grateful at present that they will not risk chances
of offending our pride by even telling us the truth
when it is essential to do so. 1t is for us to cor
rect our mistakes and correct them, and nothing
should be placed in the way of circumspect con-
Of ourselves.

Mississippi has more farm loan bank ~associa-
lions than any other state in the union. The New
Orleans Tines icayune says: mississippi still
is far in the lead in the matter Of farm loan asso-
citation charters granted. It is all alone in this
district. Alabama losing the race because Of de-
fective papers and Louisiana being entirely shut
out because of the widows dowry law. Missis-
sippi probably holds the national championship
rs well. The last charter it obtained was for Jack

AT the close of the next fiscal year

This is because of better manage
