The Flag Pole Fund.

So many requests have come to this
office relative to, the flag pole fund
which was raised some time ago and
we have been asked to publish re-
quest that it be dug up and turned
over to the Red Cross. One thing we
wish understood, however, is that we
did not assume the treasurership of
the fund when we took over the Ban

will try and have a statement show
ing where the fund is and how much
there is of it for next weeks issue.
But we are not the treasurer of the
fund and don't know where it is any
more than you do.

pires, on Sunday evening
There was a very interesting and
timely essay by High School girl and
Liberty Loan Dialogue, by two
boys. But it was not till the speaker
of the evening had finished that the
climax came.
1t had been rather generally under
stood that the rally would be merely a
preparation for personal work by the
local canvassers, but 81. Henry is a
wizard at sensing the psychological
moment. After the town canvassers
had handed in incomplete but very
satisfactory reports, he sent several
young ladies' with subscription blanks
through the audience. When the grand
total was added up it was announced
that North Canaan had gone lover the
top" in great shape. Her quota is
$33, 900 and the pledges amounted to
$40, 900. 1t is probable that before the
drive" is over that sum will be at
least 500, 900. The entire audience
rose to it's feet; gave three rousing
cheers and sang America.

DOUBLE EFFECT ECONOMY.

When an American citizen, instead
OF spending 800 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the Government he performs
q double service.
First, he furnishes the Government
with 500 to use in the prosecution of
the war.
Second, he has relieved to the extent
OF 500 the drain ON our goods and
services; that is, materials and labor.
10 make the article or articles he
would have bought or to manufacture
others to take their place in the market
would re 4uiIe materials and labor. In
addition, to get the article to him labor
and freight space would be required.
By doing without the article, he has
left T. go certain amount of material
to be used for war purposes, q certain
amount OF labor to be used in the same
way, and he has also relieved to q GER
tain extent the transportation facilities
Of the country.
This may not be much in the indivi-
dual case, but when hundreds Of thou.
sands and millions of Americans pur.
sue this course it means millions and
millions of dollars loaned the Govern
ment, tremendous quantities of mater.
tals left for uses of the Nation in this
war, millions of hours of labor free to
do war work, and vast amount OF
freight space free for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make
ere small and trivial compared to the
sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors
make daily while they offer constantly
their lives for their country, the great
est sacrifice of all.
