savings in war stamp, which will
begin drawing interest," sor you from
the date of purchase.
1t may be task to begin saving
and call for strong resolve; but
after we have begun to save and in
vest in thrift and war savings
stamps, the knowledge that we are
helping Uncle Sam in his great hour
of need, creates within us patri-
otc feeling of national pride that
prompts US to want to save more
for our government hence the task
OF saving is easy after once begun,
and the time of beginning is now.
The American nation has been
known as nation OF spendthrlttS.
Let us begin now TO show to the
rest OF the world that when neces-
sty demands, we Americans can adj
just ourselves to conditions as they
exist and spend less and save more
for our country's sake and our own
sake than any other nation on earth.
We can help our country indi
rectly by saving for our own sake,
and we can be patriotic and help
our country directly by spending less
and saving more Tor our countryS S
sake.
Small, indeed, must be the man,
woman or child's patriotism who
would not forego the spending OF
money carelessly or for luxuries,
when our government needs every
dollar we can spare to feed, clothe
and equip the great army we are
to fight for world de
or to make the world safe
for democracy.

FARMERS TO THE FRONT.

The first Liberty loan found its
biggest response in the large cities,
particularly the induStria commu-
mites OF the East. The second had
a more general acceptance through
out the country. though the urban
populations kept their lead. The
third has reversed the original Sit
uaton.
The secretary of the treasury
sounded a warning at the beginning
Of the last week OF the drive The
people of the big cities. excellent as
their efforts for the loan have been,
will have to intensity their work to
rival the results being achieved in
the small towns and country dis
tricts."
The latter had taken the lead
and despite the utmost efforts of the
big cities, they seem to have kept it.
The rural sections have more than
redeemed themselves from the
charge Of selfish Indifference. They
have even shamed the city folk who
preached patriotism TO them. And
it need surprise no one if in future
campaigns for war funds they hold |
their leadership
Nobody will grudge them the
honor either for they have proved

hate what is hateful. And there
follows this searching fire Of ques-
tionS:
rs it that we have grown dull,
that we have grown cynical, that we
care less about a crime when it has
become a habit, that We care less
about murder when it is big
enough to become a massacre? Is
il that we have grown more gross in
our sense OF honor more base in
our conception OF the soldier, more
bold about the rights OF the citizen
in word, that we have grown
more German
There seems no escape from that
dilemma. And the argument appli/
as forcibly to Americans as TO
Britons.
It's big question and Mr.. Ches-
terton doesn't give a direct or com
plete answer IS hatred ever right !?
Many people will reply. 1T is right
to hate evil" But is it possible to
hate evil abStractly without hating
the evil-doer? And if that is theo-
retically possible in a highly dcvel-
oped type Of mind, is it practically
? Can a war be fought and
won, and the evil swept away. by
maintaining a calm, judicial attitude
toward the offending nation?
To win war. for whatever pure
and lofty object armies must be
slain. And can one man fight and
kill another without hating him?
