Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1918-06-26


that's what il means,
That flag in the window, to me-
the mire and the wire
At dawn I'll go over the top
BY the light of that star and sling
steel like a fiend
And fight to the finish or drop
1t is more than a war cross. all shiny
and new,
Or the best little medal could be,
To know that away in the old U. S. A.
There's a flag in the window for me.
-Minna Irving in the New York
Herald.

BOARDING is NOT SAVING 3
There has been so much talk of saw
ing since America entered the war,
that many people have come to think
thatthe term means merely the cessa-
ton of spending.
If they can live without spending
eat nothing which they do not raise,
wear nothing which they do not make,
they feel that they are obeying the
governments mandate to save.
Yet nothing could be further from
the truth.
The man who spends nothing, may
be the most wasteful of citizens If
he raises pork and consumes all of his
product, he is robbing our soldiers
and our allies more certainly than if
he spent all of his earnings for food
not essential to the maintenance of the
army.
If he boards his money instead of
spending it. he neither helps the gov
eminent nor helps others to aid the |
government
Conservation is the exact opposite |
of boarding. Elimination of waste
does not mean deprivation. Saving is
not the cessation of spending
Economy carried to the point of mig |
gardliness will defeat the purpose for
which we are urged to conserve and
TO save.
