THE WAR WORK
CAMPAIGN IS
JUST BOOMING
Several Large Subscribers
Greatly Increase Their
Original Pledge
S14,S00.0O HAS NOW
BEEN PLEDGED
The First Installment of
Names Appears in
TOday's Issue

The United War Work campaign
gained splerdid headway yesterday
and St. Johnsbury kept step with the
great triur,phal march which is going
on in every part of the United States
this week.
The add tional subscriptions of yes
terday were made by 401 persons and
institutions and amounted to $685.
so, bringing the total up to 673 sub
scribers nd $14,80O.25.
AS the louse to house canvass gets
into fuu swing, the number Of sub
scribers increases steadily and salts
factorily. Apparently everybody is
coming in this time. The tabulation
of names and subscriptions in this
paper, will be from one to two days
delayed If some instances because
more than one hundred people are
working On this campaign, all of
whom have other necessary work to
attend to, tut all subscriptions will be
reported ard any mistakes which may
occur will h3 promptly corrected.
In submitting the following list of
subscriptions to Caledonian readers
the committee makes the explanation
that it should not be forgotten that
some OF the smallest subscriptions
may represent the greatest sacrifices
and patriotism. 1t is also believed
that these lists will be of considerable
interest from the news which they
convey. Save all of these lists and
help the committee check,up this en-
tire community. After the, last list
is published the committee woufd, like
I to have any names of possible con-
tlibutors which have not appeared re-
ported to them, so that every person
in town may be given the privilege
of participating in this splendid work.
| The intC3 esting feature of yester-
days drive was that several persons
who had subscribed substantial
amounts, after having the situation
fully Nexplained tosthem, greatly in
creased tileir subscriptions. 1t is
suggested by the committee that all
persons carefully scan this list, COM
pairing the,r own subscription with
the very generous gifts here tabu-
lated and if possible increase their
subscriptions. 1t is necessary that
we think in much larger figures than
ever before if we reach our goal by
Saturday night.

list of contributors fo" the United

IDELERS REFUSE TO
 TAKE EMPLOYMENT

The government employment bu- reau here will suggest to the govern ment the conscription of chronic idlers for government river work un- less the labor situation in this de- partment is relieved, says W. R. King, acting director of the bureau.
 King declared that a great many loafers infest his office for employ ment who work only long enough to earn a dollar for whiskey, while the government engineering department enaged on river work is offering S145 to $1.S5 cents day, including board and lodging, for labor on the Upper Mississippi river.
 King said his investigations have not revealed an actual shortage of labor in this field, but men are de- manding high wages. and when fancy prices are offered he has no diff culty in supplying men in large num- bers.
 Unskilled labor. he asserted, is now demanding a wage above B a day, and the trades a wage double tais figure. Only recently he sent to an l other city a number of carpenters on a guarantee of g a day.

During this time I have met all sorts of queer fish dressed up as sailors. Here abroad this very ship are dozens of men of the new navy, all of whom no more dreamed of being in blue than flying.
 This new type has been altogether overlooked by the world outside. And no wonder. Even when you become acquainted with the navy from the in side you hardly recognize the new Jack Tar in his war paint. That is why the garb is called a uniform. The new Jack Tar goes about his work unosten- tatiously, scrubs decks, cleans guns, climbs aloft to the "spotting top" as if he had been cradled in the navy. Coming into a much stranger world than the army really is, he settles down in a remarkably short time. You hear him on the first day asking whether he might go downstairs" or whether he ought to take the first turning on the right He very soon learns to refer instead to below" and star board as if he were never acquainted with the beach terms. I have met since I joined the navy a stock broker an opera singer, an author, doctor, an insurance agent, a chartered account ant, a provision merchant, banker a lawyer and a bookseller-all of the
 new navy.

The Presidents Speech

The speech of President Wilson at New York on Saturday night reaffirmaton of the countrys purpose to carry the through to finish. It was a pledge of the whole manhood of the United States 70 that object, with limitation the force neces sary to be employed. That means that whatever may happen in France can have effect upon the pur- pose of America to win the war or to force from Germany peace with a guaranty that it shall be perpetual.
 The president also made it planer. perhaps, than 1t had been before that except those who have gone into the military service. that is, those who have actually taken their places the front with it's priva tons and suffering the people have done compara lively little toward the war; they have not been called upon do much they have not been asked to make sacrifices.
 Only sOo 00O0 900 has far been given by 1O0O0ooOO people. That in the first Red Cross drive. Now they are asked to give only s1OOoe0,OO0 more When that has been done total contribution in cash to the war will have been g per capita. We certainly cannot complain that S1 per capita for the first has been burdensome levy. We cannot take credit for our Liberty bond investments for in them sacrificed nothing Nor can we magnify the incon- veniences imposed upon us by food and fuel regula- tions into sacrifices.
 fhe plain fact is that have not done much yet, and if the Red Cross drive should lag, it would mean that we do not want to do much beyond talking, waving the flag, sauting the flag, and rising when the national anthem is played and sung.
 That noisy polite manifestation of loyalty does not hurt the Germans and does good at home The gifts and sacrifices are what count, both in and enemy countries.

Individual Heroism

We are glad to notice that the news from the American front in France contains less of personal adventure and individual heroism than the earlier dis dispatches did. That makes thrilling reading and has it's proper place in fiction and even in magazine stories which may be descriptive of actual happen ings. But when they given a place in cabed news they take up space that should be devoted to news of things that actually count. Individual deeds do not This war is far too big for that, and the fact that these things were admitted shows that some body in a position of responsibility did not really grasp the situation.
 Individual heroism involves danger, and usually unnecessary danger. which if falls extends beyond the hero It carries with it trouble and inconvenience to all within his The heros death alone is not the whole loss to his company; there is the additional loss of time in taking of him.
 When the Americans first went into the trenches they distinguished for their recklessness and brought down upon themselves the reprobation of experienced officers. You think you are a hero" said officer to of these reckless ones; you're just plain damned fool" It shown to him that he had something consider besides himself. If he killed result of his recklessness it would take at least two to take him away and give him shallow and hurried burial If he were only wounded, he would be still more troublesome He would then require the attention, not only of to take him out of the trench; he would require the services of ambulance drivers, nurses and doctors He would occupy badly needed in hospital; there would be expense for medicine etc. and alto gether he would become considerable liability to Uncle Sam.
 A soldier may find himself in a position not of his seeking. where his courage is given the high est test and when individual heroism is called for and when the exercise of it great service to the country. Such opportunities though in this kind of comparatively rare. One can best and most effectually by regarding himself part large small, of machine; by obeying orders without question.

 We have heard a great deal about the new army, but hardly q word about the new navy. The dukes son and cooks son who rallied under the flag of the first one hundred thousand have been sung about, written up and sketched, till one begins to take it for granted that while the army has been revolutionized in size and in sort, the navy has remained as it was. I confess I, too, ran away with the idea. When joined the navy I did so with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I thought it would be great fun to be the only land lubber turned sailor while at the same time l felt l would feel rather "out of it among the quaker" men of Bri- tain's great fleet. 1 experienced noth- ing of the sort however. The first man 1 met at the admiralty was a young one time subalterh, who had been in the officers training corps with me in 1914. He. too, had been dis charged from the army after seeing service abroad, and was now giving the navy a trial"

 The American people do not know much about Mir. Borglum. Probably until within the last two weeks not in 10000 of them had ever heard of him. They have since heard that he is butter in,

AN EASY WAY TO CREATE YOUR RESERVE
By JAMES H. COLLINS

The way of dealing with this personal is to put required in the bank, write it off your check book and forget Then it will show up in working balance every time you contemplating an expenditure and will remain intact
 Next time you have comfortable balance in the bank just imaginary check to yourself, creating personal reserve.
 In the debit column where you keep track Of checks you draw for paying out money, write the words, ITO reserve-S100." Treat that money paid to somebody else, and forget it in the way.
 Thus you will always have hundred dollars in the bank than in working balance and that

silent balance will protect you your financial transae tons, and the cost of giving you bank service
 In most banks nowadays it difficult the of checking less than hundred dollars balance But this will pay the expenses on any small account and gives the humbest depositor to banks facilities
 The interest hundred dollars is only three five dollars year. If you weigh that against what bank does for in the of service will find cheap anything you pay for in business or private affairs
 If do not feel able to create this one debit then write it off gradually twenty dollars at time.
