Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year It is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
OF the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the order
OF the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
Its money wisely. The nation is being
shown the importance of putting every
cent where It will do the most good
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he Is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met. fertilizer to be pur.
chased. harness. lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time win give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government In its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern
ment is practical protest against the
plans of greedy, INSCRIPTIONS. soul.
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.

War Strain Causes Nerve Shock,

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that it Is due
to the profound impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detonations of high explosives.
No doubt, there are cases of actual
brain oil nerve injury due to concus-
sion of the air accompanying shell ex-
plosions, but these mechanical causes
are q great deal less frequently re-
sponsible for war neuroses than the
mental effects of general war strain.
1t Is remarkable that these war neu-
roses, common as they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found I'm men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally Is due To- the actual wound shock
offsettlng the mental impression af-
fecting the controlling nerve-center In
such cases.-popular Science Monthly.

Patriotic Mother Canny.

When, Il few months ago, one of u
troop ships was torpedoed there were,
of course, many worried mothers. One
OF them received n cable message tell
ing her Of her sons rescue, and was
naturally much relieved. But this cable
was followed almost Immediately by
another asking for money by cable.
The mother OF this lad was rather
puzzled by the message, rs she could
not tell II IL was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending n com-
paratlvely large amount OF money To
an imposter, SO she hit on the plan
Of sending Il return message asking
the sender of the first cable TO cable
the name OF the family's two dogs;
names which would only be known to
a member of the family.
The answer with the right names
came at once. and the son received
the money. He has been Boosting OF
his mothers cleverness ever since.

MAKES SACRIFICE FOR SONS
Spirit of Self-Denial Shown by Little
New York Jew as Beautiful as
IL Is Rare.

Essex and Delaney streets are the
heart OF the great many-tongued city
which lives over near East river
the Ghetto. The streets are always
crowded-crowded with bearded men,
old women with shawls and sheltels,
eager dark-eyad children; handsome
girls. and youag men clothed In the
East sides version of what Fifth ave-
hue wears.
On the corner year In and year out
Is n little Galician Jew. His small
shrunken face Is Smeared dark by the
stubble of II sparse beard his flat lit
tie derby Is pushed down over his
ears; his clothes are n mere covering.
For years he has been peddling the
large salt pretZels which are strung
on sticks and stand upright from his
basket.
He never tries to force n sale. He
never solicits patronage. He lives in
q little Don over n small bakery. He
speaks very little English-and yet in
n large Eastern college there are two
of his sons being educated so that they
will not have to live the life of drudg-
cry the father has led. And the
world-weary little father is paying the
bills by self-denial.

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING

The following letter, addressed to a
certain branch of the war department,
and dated from q town somewhere in
the West, arrived in Washington a few
days ago.:

would like TO get into the fray against
the kaiser and his hordes. / am twen-
ty-one years of age, of splendid ply

branch of the war department as a

The officer TO whom this letter came
for a reply has seen considerable ac-
tive service, not only in this war, but
I'm others. He notified his stenographer
that he would write a personal answer
to the young man who desired war
service. A portion of his letter was as
follows:

Gas Well Finally Tanned"

Out In the sagebrush-covered wastes
of eastern Washington there has just
been tanned II big gas we'll, and devel-
opment work on the property is now
under way. The flow of gas was dis
covered three years ago. when a mis-
guided settler drilled for water and
had n four-inch pipe blown out of the
ground. A year later n passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and for
Is months the we'll burned day and
night, n beacon visible for miles
around. A few months ago the old
we'll was capped. the gas used 10 pro-
vide fuel for n modern drilling engine,
and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunk
into the gas reservoir.
