Some Sensible Thrift Talk.


In America ever since the pilgrims
landed from the Mayfiower our house
cleaning has been conducted In q
sensational manner. The furniture is
put in the yard. The pictures are
taken down and the house generally
looks like lightning had struck It In
the end. however. 1t Is we'll cleaned
and we are all better of for the agony
to which we have been subjected.
In politics and governmental matters
generally we pursue much the same
course and It is to be hoped that our
idiosyncrasy in this respect will be
understood and not misunderstood
abroad, especially in Germany where
we may be sure the typographical hys-.
teries that We are now permitting our
selves will sooner or later be heard OF.
AS to coal. We are now producing more
Of II than ever before in our history
but we are trying to run our factories
and our railroads upon the theory that
they can produce and transport the
twenty five billion dollars worth OF
goods that We consumed in peace times
and the additional fifteen billions
worth Of war equipment that We sud
simply can't do 1t. That IL all. We
haven't the men or the machinery and
we can't get them. II this nation Is

ton In the homes of even our best
people. In the United States IS pounds
of cotton per capita are now required
to make the cotton goods We consume
in a year. In 1870 we only used ~
cents per capita. In England and
France the present consumption 10 but
10 pounds per capita. We are more
extravagantly clothed. but who will say
we are better or more beautifully cloth
ed than we were In 1870!
We must get back TO the standard
Of 1870 or somewhere near II.
The same statement applies to sugar.
Our present per capita consumption Is
about 80 pounds. In 1880 1t was only
39h pounds. In England the per capita
consumption Of sugar Is but 80 pounds,
In France ss pounds, in Germany IL

war it was only II pounds.

FARMS AND POOL HALLS.
ISioux City Journal.l

Payne Sargisson, an owner Of much
land and raiser of much stock, who
is widely known both in Iowa and
elsewhere, suggests that it be made q
patriotic duty of every idle man. every
city loafer, every man employed in
a d;spensable occupation and every
man who has vacation to go to the
farms this year. Close the pool halls.
says Mr.. Sargisson. and send their
habitues to the farms. Encourage the
clerks TO spend their vacations there.
Hold out the same obligation before
the town and city preacher. Urge the
stock yards man, whose time Of least
responsibility comedies always with
the farmers time Of greatest industry,
to do their bit. too, on the farms OF
the men they deal with in other sea-
sons. Above all. let there be immedi-
ate and practical attention by the ma
uonal government to the vital prob
lem Of mobilizing men to work on the
farms-or mobilizing, in q final sense,
nature.
Farm labor has been considered in
says Mr.. Sargisson. How silly that
now seemsl Better wages can and will
be paid for farm help than will be
offered many classes Of workers In the
city. The incidental benefits Of farm
life. with good food. pure abr and In
vigorating exercise. would make the
customary vacation blush for its
worthlessness. A genuine patriotic
service of the first magnitude would
be performed by every man attracted
thus to the farm, and a symbol Of that
service, on the order Of the liberty
loan or Red Cross buttons. would be
most appropriate.

Wa No siae,ssr.

A story Is told Of lady whose son
had served during the Spanish war, in
which she told Of the different battles
and engagements he had been In, and
she finished up BY saying that she
know all about war, as her son had
fought IN the Battle Of Vanilla In the
Halloween Islands.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

ut Is proposed to close the schools
in New York city in order to conserve
the fuel supply. This suggestion i'm
mediately brought forth counter .ir-
ritant in the form Of another sugges-
ton that a sufficient amount Of fuel
could be saved to serve ali needs By
closing the salonos while the schools
were continued in operation. There
isn't any room for argument on the
merits of that proposal says the
Council Bluffs Nonpariel.
