Senator Sherman of Illinois in his
recent TRADE before the Senate
against the President and members
Of his cabinet is reported to have
said that there was no cause for a
political movement like the Nonparti-
ssan League for the benefit of the
common people. This is not true.
There is cause and plenty of it. The
farmers Of this country, as we'll as
the laborers, have been, and are be-
ing, abused continually. The follow
ing from the Final report Of the In
dustrial Relations Commission proves
our contention. Moreover there is a
peculiar condition in agriculture that
merits a brief but strong statement
at this point Is a preface to a more
detailed discussion later. The most
fact in American agricul-
is the rapid growth of tenancy.
In 1910 there yer 81 tenant operat-
ed farms in each 100 farms in the
United States, a S compared with %
in 1890, al increase Of 80 per cent

vestigation Of conditions of tenant
farmers has ever been made, but in
where the Investigations of
this commission were thorough and
conclusive, it was found not only that
The economic condition of the tenant
was extremely bad but that he was
far from being free, while his future
vas regarded as hopeless. Badly
ill-nourished, uneducated and
hopeless, these tenants continue year
after year to exc out a bare living, /
frequently from one farm to
another in the hope that something
will turn up. Without a large fam

Passing the Sentry.

While 1 was on the Mexican border
the camp had a heavy guard at night.
The captain came back to camp late
one night and it happened that the
road over which he came into camp
had three or four sentries which he
would have to pass.
Each sentry halted him. He had
evidently had some trouble before he
came back, he was not in his best
mood and he got madder every time
they halted him.
When the guard at the last post
heard the captain coming he called
''Halt, who goes there?"
The captain yelled out, "Who in
thunder do you suppose"
The guard returned, Advance, Who
In Thunder Do You Suppose, and give
the countersign. Chicago Tribune.

Camp Devens, Mass.-The "sweet-

a good-sized stone and carry it to the

fore the war ends a tremendous monu-
ment of Love will be raised here.

PRESIDENT ASKS
PEOPLE TO SAVE
Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted to War Conditions If
Nation Is to Play Its
Part in Conflict.

Washington, D. C.-To save mate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans ''to buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
''This war is one of nations-not of
armies" said the president, "and all
of our 1o0000,0O0 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
"The problem before US is not pri-
marily financial problem, but rather
problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
! oyerburdens transportation, all of
/ which must be used to the utmost and
| at their best for war purposes.
'"The great results which we seek
/ can be obtained only by the partieipa-
ton Of young and old in a national
thrift movement. / therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice OF
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary TO the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to indiyid-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
''The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of US.
L appear 10 dll WHO uUW own 6llHCE
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
ernment.
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
) on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
! the securities of the government.

For plain China mating, take

dry cloths, then hang on line in the
sun until perfectly dry.

lone in Which We Sneak.

Whether our words wound or give
help and pleasure, depends more on
the tone in which they are spoken than
on the words themselves. A tender
voice makes the most simple words
like soothing balm, and an Indifferent
voice makes words of sympathy seem
a mockery. 81 didn't say anything to
hurt her feelings" is the defense many
a girl makes when she has wounded
some one. But she sometimes fails to
take into account the tone in which the
words were spoken.-Girls' Companion.

There is a list of 137 occupations
where the demand for men in the war
department constantly exceeds the sup
ply.
A pressing need exists in the army
for men experienced in handling mules,
and before all future needs are met
recruiting campaign may become neces-
sary. No difficulty has been expert
enced in getting men who can buy and
handle horses, but blacksmiths are
scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers, and cooks are greatly need
ed. In several technical branches,
particularly the engineers, men for the
higher positions are plentiful, but the
workers for the ranks are scarce. Ex-
perienced mechanics, especially those
familiar with automobiles, are always
In demand.
More interpreters than can be used
have applied for positions with the
war department, and applications for
commissions as army chaplains are
also in excess of the need. The excess
totals thousands in each case. Clerks
for general work are plentiful, but
there is demand for specialists. AT
present there is a surplus Of dentists
and pharmacists.
