Swap Pleasure for w. S. Stamps.

AS a practical and patriotic plan to
encourage investment in War Saving
Stamps, William Guggenheim of New
York, member Of the board Of trus-
tees Of the American Defense Society
has written to the American Auto
mobile Association a suggestion for one
or two "pleasure-carless days" in
which automobile owners shall forego
their pleasure drives and invest in War
Saving Stamps the money so saved on
gasoline, lubricating oils and other ex-
penses. The plea has been sent also to
some 500 automobile clubs in all sec
tons Of the country.
In his letter, Mr.. Gugsenheim names
the Sundays falling on March 8, 10 and
II, and asks that auto owners
"patriotically forego the use of their
automobiles on at least one" of those
dates. All owners who are willing to
adopt this suggestion arc to be placed
on the honor roll of the American De-
Tense Society.
On an estimate of 100000 passen-
ger cars in the country, it is figured
that if only one third of these observe
one pleasure carless day" there will be
s347,2o2 saved on gasoline alone for in
vestment in War Saving Stamps. This
figure is reached by allowing only 80
miles for each car, making 25,O00, 600
miles, and allowing Is miles to a gal
Ion of gas or 1,3SS,SSS gallons, which at
% cents would make $347,22o. TWO
pleasure carless days" would double
this War Saving Stamps investment
and the saving on luncheons, dinners
etc, would bring the aggregate to
nearly million dollars.

Most Of US know of the results Of
burning such as edgings with green
hard wood. but, SO far as we can learn,
the use of light wood and coal together

. We arc asking for information rather
than attempting criticism of the
recommendation of Mr.. Wilson. but
would suggest that with the edgings
available hard wood is ii be had in any
desired quantities, and the coal diff

Encourage the Farmers.

Mr.. Clarence Ousley, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture. is urging upon
business men and town employed peo-
pie the necessity for increasing pro-
duction in 1913. He tells business
men that enlisting in the work of food
production this year is taking out in
Surance on their own affairs for the
future.
Mr.. Ousley spoke at Yakima, Wash
ington. a prosperous little city of the
Northwest, presenting the urgency of
the hour. He said that in this war
emergency when food is essential to
victory and farm labor essential to food
production. we have reached a point
where it is the plain. unmistakable duty
OF every person now employed in town
but who has lived and worked on
farms. to leave his town work tenn
porarily, unless it is of war value, and
TO so to work on farms in his county or
community for such time as may be
necessary to save food crops. He said
the potential supply of farm labor in
this country is sufficient; that it is Just
question of getting it applied to the
farms; that in every town and city
there are enough men of agricultural
experience to supply the necessary re-
serve Of emergency farm labor in the
surrounding territory. provided those
men can be temporarily diverted from
town employment to the farms.
How many men in this audience
have had farm experience-have lived
and worked on farms? Will each one
hold up his hand?" Mr.. Ousley asked
To his astonishment more than three
fourths of the audience responded at
firmatively. That is a higher per-
centage than usually obtains And yet
what is true of Yakima. Washington,
IS true In varying ratio, of every town
and city in the United States, he
claims-a substantial number of men
now living IN them have, in the past
lived and worked on farms. AS a gen.
eral proposition every town probably
contains enough citizens of farm ex-
per1ence to save all, the crops in its
immediate territory-if they will 90 GU,

because potential farm laoorers con-

second, Of diverting temporarily that
potential farm help and applying it to
the farms where needed. thus insuring
the community it's food supply and
swelling the food reserves the nation
must have to win the war-doing this
by closing town business houses for
short periods if necessary. There can
be no hesitation in the answer. The
man who is indisposed to close his es-
Enlistment or to curtail his business
operations for a time in order that his
employees may be released for farm
work, may we'll recall the telegram sent

bank:

they won't be worth anything to u.s.
