will give them his notes in the form
Of bonds, bearing interest, and will .

AS an illustration Of how the de-
mand OF the people for things we
can DO without during the war Grip
pies Uncle Sam in carrying on the
war, Mr.. Stephenson said that not
long ago, II not now, there was a mu-
nltlons factory In Jersey City running
only half the plant because it could
not get the coal to operate or the
necessary labor, while on the opposite
corner Of the same street a factory
making monographs was runnings
fill time, using the same sort Of fuel
and the same sort of labor for lack
OF which the munitions factory, turn
ing out war materials, was idle. and
that condition obtained because the
people demand that they be supplied
insufficient supply of shoes and cloth
'ng and guns scr the soldiers.
i At the hotel here, Mr.. Stephenson
said, he was served about twice as
much as he could eat, and he left abort
half the food beside his plate, while
III portions OF Europe millions of peo-
; pie are starving. He finds that same
) SORT of wastefulness everywhere he
goes, he said. We have got to learn
to economic in food and clothes, he
declared; and here he said it was
badge of honor to wear old clothes
and patched shoes now. He told Of
the president of a shoe factory max
ing millions Of shoes, who was wear
ing patched pair Of shoes. When
a asked why he did that he replied that
e by. wearing old shoes he released a
D pair for soldier.
