The young man of today has
an opportunity to make and
save money such as is seldom
met with in a life time. Many
of the young men make on an
average four dollars per day
and work only eight hours. In
fact some of them make as
much money in eight hours as
did their forefathers in half a
week of labor from daylight
to darkness in the harvest
fields at most arduous toll.
Much of this money should be
saved and invested in a proper
manner. The time may come
after while when such wages
will not prevail. Make hay
while the sun shines, and then
save a generous quantity of
the "hay."

That SyatOn Editorial.

The Americas Times-Decorder is
reckless when it comes to making
statements. It must be ratified about
something. 1t now charges that the
Augusta Chronicle, the Atlanta Geor-
gian and the Citizen have nominated
Ex-Governor Slaton for the senate. So
far as the Citizen is concerned, there
isn't a-word of truth in the Recorders
statement, although the Citizen would
be proud to indorse the candidacy OF
the distinguished ex-governor. In the
Citizens editorial, which seems to be
drawing the fire and ire of a few polit-
zeal minnows, we stated that we were
writing not with a view of putting
him (Slaton) forward for anything

THE WAR CHEST IDEA.

Several cities, wearied by the inces-
SAINT demands for funds for war relief
organizations, have adopted the war
chest idea. The plan is to make one
big campaign a year for donations to
a huge city war chest. The money re-
ceived is apDortioned among the va
rious relief organizations, leaving a
good sized balance with which the
mayor may meet emergencies as they
arise.
The individual citizen cannot investi-
gate every appeal. He wants to be
generous, but he doesn't want to be
imposed upon, Moreover, he ersents
the dram upon his time and energy
created by insistent small demands.
Those in charge of the war chest
Investigate the organizations, and
eliminate all but those honsidered es-
sential. Thus the giver knows that his
money will be used as it ought to be
used. And he gives one lump sum, in
proportion to his income, paid either
at once or in installmeGts as he pre-
fers. The city war relief is then fl
nanced, and he is freed from further
Fostering for another year.

eral months ago with immense success

KEEPING THE BRIDGE.

Our shipping production will now in
crease not merely because conditions
are improved, but for the simple and
practical reason that it's got to in
crease.
The rushing of troops to France in
greater numbers than was expected
changes the whole situation It was
necessary before to build more ships
in order to counterfeit the u-boat losses
and provide safe surplus. 1t is nee
essary to build them now to take care
of bigger foreign army.
Experts say it takes four tons of
shipping to keep every foreign fighter
supplied with what he needs. For ], :
100000 men that means 100000 tons.
We shall soon have the first million
men at the front. AS yet we haven't
the 1000 tons of ships
We shall soon reach that figure. But
the dispatch of ships will keep right
on. Early next year we shall have
100000 men there That will mean
100000 tons. By the summer of 1919
we may have 100000 men. That will
call for 10000 tons. And along
with that, it must not be forgotten
that we need a large tonnage TO
transport food and war materials to
our allies.
1t would be tragic if, after we had
set our boys in France to fight for us,
we failed to maintain the bridge OF
boats on which their fighting efficiency
and their very life depend. And we
won't fail. We don't dare.

STYLES AND MACHINERY

At recent womans exposition,
where everything for the home was
demonstrated, from the automobile at
the gate to the garage heater in the
back yard, including wall decorations.
furniture, child welfare, suffrage,
stoves and Chinese fried noodles, two
classes of exhibits drew the crowds.
The ice machine attracted some Gu
riosity. The electric dishwasher was
given an academic admiration. The
style which turns itself off by time
clock thermostat arrangement was
given many an approving scrutiny. Ev>

look at the glass case containing the
child's three meals a day, cooked and

ture polish were old stuff Every wo-
man either had them or knew about
her neighbours.
But-before every washing machine
and every ironing machine stood an
eager little group, watching, asking
questions, keeping every demonstration
busy.
Here were the two hardest opera
tions of the household done almost
by magic, and the burden of every song
syas: Will it tear my curtains? Will
it wash my rag rugs? Will it iron the
children's dresses How long does it

WOMEN IN TAMMANY HALL.

For the first time in the history of
Tammany Hall, women have been ad-
mitted to that ancient and checkered
organization. At Ga meeting the other
day there were 80 women elected as
members of Tammany's executive COM
mittee. Henceforth, it is announced,
women are to be ON the same basis as
men in every Tammany district in
New York City and in the councils of
the wigwam The organization will
be divided between men and women
on an absolutely equal numerical ba-
sis
The first sex-equality meeting at
Tammany Hall was a pleasant occas-
ion. Boss" Murphy was all smiles.
His henchmen beamed affability. Every
one of those supposedly willy politi-
clans did his best to make the women
feel as if they really belonged. Their
motions and speeches were listened to
with respect. Male speakers told them
proudly of the part the organization
had played in the enactment of legis-
lation favorable to women and chill
dren. An Influential leader discoursed
on the working of the party machinery.
Anybody would have thought that
Tammany had yearned always for
feminine participation in it's general
scheme of humanitarian effort and
political uplift And no woman was
so impolite as to remind the men
that Tammany had fought woman suf-
frage tooth and nail-until it beacme
inevitable.
That's always the way. Old institu-
tons, good or bad, generally yield
gracefully when the hour of fate
strikes. Tammany will no longer be
the same old Tammany The tiger
won't change his stripes all at once.
But we may say without hesitation
that henceforth there will be less Sc
crecy in that body And the women
little by little will make their infiu-
ence felt along lines that practical"
male politicians have gnored as long
as they could.

A Touching Story.

Here is a touching story that
reached the heart of THE NEWS man
when it was told to him the other
day:
"A Paris man driving along the
Winchester pike just outside of Paris
met a small lad who was staggering
along the pike under the heavy bur-
den of carrying a small boy, whose
bare feet bore traces of having re-
Gently been in the wet field on the
other side. This little boy was seem
ingly content to be carried along
this way. The Paris man stopped his
machine and asked the big lad,
isn't that boy too heavy for you to
carry? You had better get in with
me-" But the bigger boy sturdily re-
fused, saying, 1--WE are only going a
very short distance-and he's my
brother, and he's not heavy at ALL"
Doesn't that boys philosophy beat
all the religion in the world? Or is
lie religion itself? Help you brother!
Isn't it the grand and glorious feel
ing? Well, the Paris man who told
the story to THE NEWS man said ii
struck him so forcibly that he could
not get it out of his mind for many
days.

Working The Newspapers.

There isn't more patriotic set of
men in the country than the country
newspaper men, but they are being
worked to the Queens taste and get
very little credit for what they are
doing. Every little fellow who pulls
down a fat salary for doing very lit
tie work for Uncle Sam feels called
upon to ask the editors of the coun-
try newspapers for lot of space
which costs him good cash dollars,
to air the vaporings of some fellow
who is writing against space.
This week we have received no less
than ten columns of plate matter
from one or another of the war ac-
tivities or for some other free doings,
with a request that we print them
all. We could not do it if we would,
and the fellows who are asking us to
donate so much for the good of the
cause would throw up, their jobs at
once if they did not connect with the
payroll. Sometimes this plate matter
gets in in time to be of some SER
vice, but more oftener it comes a
week or so after the date upon
which it would be of use, consequent
ly it is left to lay around like wart
on hog and take up valuable space.
The newspaper men have done
more than their share and have prob
ably received less consideration
than any other class of people en-
gagged in helping the war activities.
Their employees salaries remain the
same, possibly, and the employers,
are paying their own bills out of
their own pockets, and columns of
valuable space devoted to free pub
licity does not help them to meet
drafts, pay running expenses, and
keep the fires of patriotism lighted
at the same time. They are willing
to do all they can, but there is a
limit to their patience!
