 6,OOO,OOO PATRIOTS
Bulletin to AcQuaint Public With
 Desires Of Government

Hartford, August 13.-Six million members enrolled in 120,0O War Saw ings Societies throughout the country have been put on Uncle Sans mail ing list and will hereafter receive the instructions of the Food and Fuel ad- ministrations the War Industries Board and all other government de- partments devoted to conservation as soon as issued.
 The bulletin which will carry these instructions is known as The Saw ings Letter. and will be issued as often as necessary by the National War Savings Committee in Washing ton. Copies of the first letter reach ed the members of the 5000 War Savings Societies in Connecticut this week. The announcement in the ini- tial issue read in part as follows:
 Your Government wants every member of evry society to be it's mouthpiece for spreading important messages all over the country. You will receive The Savings Letter di rect from Washington every week OF so It will be a message to you per- sonally from your governm ent- call to action from all the big de- partments in Washington-War Saw ings, Food, Fuel War Industries, etc., etc.,
 The letter included 8 request from United States Food Administra ton tha American consumption of sugar in the home be reduced to two pounds per person per month. exclusive of sugar used for home canning or pre- serving. Despite the difficulty of re- ducing the ration of free people un- bound by compulsory rules, the Food Administration reiterated it's belief that the American people could solve the food problem by voluntary serv- ice and sacrifice ard declared:
 "The time has come when real service is required-when it is the duty of every patriot to convince eacs objector or malcontent that the indulgence of a luxury today is tanta- mount to treason"
 The letter also contained instruc- tions issued by the Fuel Administra- ton as to various means of reducing the consumption of coal. Each ls7 sue of the letter will carry direct to all society members the latest an nouncements of one or more of the conservation boards which have reached them in the past only in 8 roundabout way. The Connecticut War Savings Committee expects that through this system of cooperation between the different governmental savings agencies. there will be marked increase in the amount of materials conserved for war purposes and in the purchase of War Savings Stamps with the results of this sav- ing.

JOE CANNON NEAR
 SERVICE RECORD
Will Equal Allison's Term of Years If Reelected From Illinois
 in November

Washington, Aug. 13-If the voters of the eighteenth Illinois district elect "Uncle Joe" Cannon for a 22d term in congress next November, he will have equaled a record achieved by only one other in point of congress sional service. Already the former speaker has out-served all other pres ent and former members of the house for long service in that body. The late William Boyd Allison, former representative and later senator from Iowa, held a record in congress with A years service in both houses.
 MT. Cannon's record is for service Tn the house alone. One more term would complete a service of A years. Were 1t not for an affair in 1890, when the democrats took control of the house, following passage of the Mckinley tariff law, and another in c1dent of 1912. when the progressives split the republican vote, MT. Can- non's service would have been for "A terms continuous, GAS years). As it is he began his service in 1873 and has served since with the excep- tion of the two terms mentioned.
 Besides MT Cannon and the late Senator Allison, Justin Morrill, of vermont, late representative and sen- ator, is among the former members who saw long service in Congress. MT. Merrill served forty three years con- tinuously as a representative and later as a senator.
 MT. Cannon's first term was in the forty-third congress. He was first elected speaker in the ffty-eighth congress and reelected in the fifty ninth, sixtieth and sixty-first ses- SiOnS.

When Men Break Down.

We often hear the expression,
"He wore himself out" applied to
some man who has broken down IN
that famous life sweepstakes, the
Survival of the Fittest. Yet how
misleading and untrue is such a
statement. Common observation of
those about us-even a superficial
survey of the lives of the worlds
greatest men-will show that those
who have had the most enormous re-
spongibilities have either survived
the longest or have lived on serene
" in the midst of their greatest
strain. Herculean labors, intense
anxiety, disaster after disaster, have
done their best to batter down frail
and apparently unfortified human
beings without success.
When a man works up to a big
load of responsibility he seems to
gain an invisible power at about the
same rate that his load increases.
When men break down it is due to
other needless and petty worries, or
hereditary or hidden causes within
the recesses of their constitutions

COST OF THINGS
1871 YEARS AGO
He That Buys Upon Credit Pays
Interest for What He Buys.
EVERY LITTLE
MAKES A MICKLE
This Wisdom by Benjamin Frank
In Was Published Before the
Revolutionary War.

God helps them that helps them
selves"
"All things are cheap to the saw
ing, dear to the wasteful."
The thrifty maxim of the wary
Dutch, is to save all they touch"
Nov / have sheep and COW
everybody bids me good-morrow. F"
Every little makes a mickle."
Wrote Benjamin Franklin in Poor
Richards Almanac in 1887 then
this printer, statesman, scientist
and philosopher wrote the best edi-
torial upon the modern waste OF
buying and selling upon credit that
has ever since been published In
1877 Franklin explained;
He that sells upon credit asks a
price for what he sells equivalent
to the principal and interest of his
money for the time he is like to
be kept out of it, therefore
He that buys upon credit pays
Interest for what he buys.
And he that pays ready money
might let that money out to use
so that
"He possesses anything he has
bought pays interest for the use of
it.
That brings us to the modern app
plication of this ancient lesson. If
we keep on buying fine clothes,
amusement, indulgences, unneces-
sary furnishings we lose the interest
interest upon their cost and interest
upon interest that we might have
for old age or for larger things If
we had invested in War Savings
Stamps at compound interest to
help win the war.
Consider them" said Franklin
ISL years ago, when you are temp
ted to buy unnecessary household
stuff or any superfluous thing
whether you be willing to pay in
terest, and interest upon interest,
for it as long as you live;
yet in buying goods it is best
to pay ready money because
He that sells upon credit ex-
poets to lose per cent by bad
debts; therefore he charges on all
he sells upon credit an. advance
that shall make up that deficiency.

Patriot Dollars.

All the dollars in the world can
not buy victory. Victory is not pur-
chaseable-it is won. Dollars can
work for victory only. in so far as
they are converted into labor and
materials. A dollar boarded is a
Stacker; a dollar saved is a pat
riot, doubly so when loaned to the
Government.
A boarded dollar represents idle
power; a dollar saved represents
power saved, labor saved, material
saved. Loaned to the Government
it represents power, labor, and ma
terials in action, on the filing line
over the top And more-it repre-
sents reserve power, energy stored
purchasing power conserved for It's
owner.
