Do WELL TO Spend
Lecturer UphoIds Extravaganza
Of the Wealthy.
Lavish Expenditure for Luxuries
!. Means That the Prosperity Of
the Country 10 Assured, 10 As
sertion He Makes.

Because we are the most luxury
loving people on earth, we are also
the richest; therefore we have been
called upon to finance and to fight
to a finish this most .extravagant OF
all wars, and we are able to do it."
said Z. Leroy Pelletie-., speaking on
Prosperity" at Detroit.
1--WE hear a lot nowadays to the
effect that we Americans are a
wasteful and extravagant people.
And it is said by way of condemna-
ton, or at least OF reproof. Yet
when the war had been precipitated
BY the most frugal people. IN earth
except the more' primitive races OF
savages-the e%xtravagant nation was
asked to finance and to prosecute the
war to q successful finish.
1--WE expect to do this from the sur
plus left from u extravaganza. Yes I!
And 1t is because Of u extravaganza
that we have the money to do 1t.
China has great Why
are not the Chinese wealthy? Be
cause they have worn the same style
Of clothes for a thousand years, and
have subsisted on II diet-plain rice !
The Japanese tried the same form Of
~frugality for centuries and just nan
aged to subsist. When they began to
copy American 'extravagances' they
became n world power.
1T doesn't matter that the $1,000
roadster is a no~n-essential to the son
of a rich man, OF that the luxurious
Limousine could be dispensed with by
the rich man himself-that doesn't
matter.
"The point Is. those luxuries, those
ex~travagances, those non-essentials are
virtually essential to the millions of
men and the families Of the men whose
jobs depend on the making Of our
Notwithstanding vehicle.
'The sewing machine, the phono-
graph, the electric light. the piano, the
furniture; yes, the very schools where
In the workmen's children are edu-
Gated, are the direct result Of the crav-
Ing on the part of the rich mar for
those luxuries.
Here's to the wealthy man and to
the rich woman who is extravagant-
for these play the game. They pass
the prosperity around. Rank sophis-
try those phrases, an old suit is a
badge of HONOR and a dollar paid for
a boy to play with Is a traitor dollar
II taken seriously they would result
In terrible suffering in a short time.
"Food conservation, not by short ra-
tioning, but by changing our diet so rs
to use those meats and grains that
cannot be shipped 81 as to supply our
allies with those that contain the most
nOurishment in the most compact form
that is c~ommendable. Every intel
ligent, patriotic American indorses 1t
and will gladly do his part.

 APPRECIATED

evening at the Presbyteran church on the changed conditions in the United States during war period asI they impressed him was listened to by a large audience, and showed that t' e talker was a close observer
 Mir. stevenson has a very pleasant delivery. and an extensive Vocaou- larv and as he recounted the i'm Uressions of the changed condi- tions as he found them in his re cent 14,OOO mile journey through the states he held the attention Of his listeners closely.
 He covered the more serious conditions in a businesslike manner, suct as the railway situation, seeing the immense mogul engines of a western road being used on some of the branch lines of the east, hauling needed supplies for theI government, and then touched up on the difference of the present ne- cessary comfort to the past luxuries and evident needless wastefulness of energy in catering to a pampered public.
 Jn the homes visited, the mark of tho war was apparent. Brothers fathers, and husbands Were gone, and the women were earnestly devot ing their time and energy and in fluence to the war work.
 Throughout the Southern States where the great majority of the cantonments are located and en- ormous numbers of war industries arc located, conditions are chang ed 10 vast degree, the enormous amount of money which is being paid out there in wages, and for other purposes amounting to more than S1OO,OOO,OOO per month.
 The degree of seriousness with which the food situation is looked upon varies with the localities and with the person. In some of the ho- tels and restaurants, the strictest attention is paid 10 the recom- mendations of the commission, while at others there seems to be utter disregard to them. Along the Pa cific coast there seemed to be a greater desire in the observance of tho food restrictions than in the eastern portions of the counry.
 The intense earnestness in the water transportation and ocean trav- el was also touched upon, shOwng that tr, commission having this branch of the governments service, was energetically prosecuted in Am erica's rart of the great war pro gram.
 MT. stevenson spoke at length up on the part the women of the UnitCd States were taking in her effort to assisi her country in it's great undertaking, and said that the fair CT Sex was found, now performign the duties of men in almost all walks Of life.
 The changed conditions in the large cities was very noticeable, especially in Washington, which is today one of the busiest cities on the continent, swarming with the nations most prominent men eager ly intent upon their duties in the big underi aking.
 Mir. Stevenson was highly i'm pressed with the knowledge that the men who We're filling the most res ponsible positions throughout the natlon are Christians, and that throughout all cantonments visited the true Christian spirit was so manifest and apparent.

He Wants to Borrow Your Money and YOu Should
 Lend It To Him

Your duty to your country Is as fixed as your obligation to your family. This Is literal ly true, because if you do not maintain the integrity of your Government your wife Is no longer secure in your homo nor your children safe in their school.
 Mind you, Uncle Same does not ask you to GIVE this mon ,ey, here merely wants you to lend 1t. Every penny you can afford to advance is that much saved for your own use in the tranuil days when hu- manity shall have emerged from this agony of blood and carnage.
 You may respond as freely as you will in the assurance that your money will not be used for the hateful and ghast- Iy business of conquest.
 It will be spent to sooth the hurts of those who are maimed, to feed those who are hungry, to clothe those who are not clad, to shelter those who are homeless, and to gird Liberty's defending hosts for their nigh ty task of crushing the brutal, -blaspheming plunderer who. has so shamelessly violated thu peace and honor of the world and all but made it captive.

Saloons Closed Tight on
First Heatless Monday

Every saloon in Harrisburg was
closed to-day and will be closed on
the following nine heatless Mondays
ordered by the National Fuel Admins
tration. Restaurants, hotels and clubs
will likewise eliminate the sale of
liquor on these days. The uncommon
situation was the direct result of the
edict prohibiting the heating of bar
rooms in saloons, hotels. clubs and any
other buildings on heatless Monday.
There was complete unanimity of
action on the part of Harrisburg inn
keepers, whether they feared the $5,-
600 fine and two years Imprisonment,
or because the liquor associations inn
mediately got busy in backing up the
Government. Closing of all bars in
the state was officially ordered by
Thomas J. O'Connor, of Erie. president
of the Sttae Retail Dealers Associa-
tion, who advised "a strict compliance
of the State Retail Dealers Associa-
and requesting receivers of the mes
sage in every county of the state to
close the bars and refrain from SELL
ing liquor on the ten Mondays.
