BLONDES ARE FlDGETY
Brunette Typists Are Preferred
by Uncle Sam.
Three Thousand Dark and Steadler
Girls Employed Before Light
Haired One Lands.

Washington.-The blonde type
writer's of America have reason to nd
get from the government estimate of
them. 1t appears that the glowing
tributes heretofore bestowed upon
them by the tired business mar have
been as inaccurate as have been the
exceedingly biased estimates Of the
tired business mans wife.
The blonde typewriter, though q Joy
to the eye. Is nervous, temperamental
and other than steady, so the govern
ment has decided.
When the government undertook to
pay Its new, growing and splendid
army II was found necessary to hire a
few acres of typewriters. Every avail
able loft. hospital, dance hall and
store In Washington wal fitted out as
a place In which typists might type,
and so great was the volume Of work
that the utmost care was taken in the
matter of employing help. Things had
to be done accurately, quickly and con-
tinuously. and the types Of typists were
considered at length by persons quail
fed to know a star key RATHER at q
glance.
Well, sir. more than 5000 typists
were at work before a blonde typist
was accepted. Every brunette avail
able had been pounding the keyboard
for days before 1t was finally decided
that the light-locked element must be
admitted through force Of circam-
stance. There were no more brunette
typewriters out of work.
Then came the beautiful blonde
spring drive. They came with blue
eyes, dimples. little curls, golden
Psyches, pink ears and smiles which
made the grouchy experts dizzy but
unconvinced. They knew that all this
outward dazzle did not alter the fact
that every blonde cherub was as nerv-
u as a kitten. and that In q burst Of
temperament might very well send a
major generals pay check to an OBJ
scure corporal.
But they were employed. and now
each blonde In the government service
sits between two brunette typists who
devote themselves to the tasks of do
ing their work and steadying their
golden-haired companion at the first
sign Of hysteria.

T H RIFF T AND
CONSE r V ALTON

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year 1t Is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
Of the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens we're the order
Of the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
its money wisely. The nation is being
shown the Importance Of putting every
cent where 1t will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer Is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper 1t means that
10 must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he 10 able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some.
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur
chased, harness, lubricating oil anG
groceries and clothing 10 be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paid for
their produce that they are now "on
their feet" or more nearly SO than
ever before.
This country has been good to them,
foy they have lived in peace and have
be2n provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace Any
economics they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right.
eousnens and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern.
ment is u practical protest against the
plans OF greedy, unscrupulous, soul
less power intent on world conquest,
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.

SHALL WE SEE 1T
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government Is finding 1t nee.
essary TO call upon US three times
within year to provide by subscrip-
tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money
hitherto considered Of fabulous pro-
portions. These facts should i'm
press upon US as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.
Continued acquaintance with the
more serious aspects of life Is apt to
breed indifference, and to distort our
mental vision. AS the soldier shud-
ders with horror at his first sight
of carnage, but later becomes hard.
ened, SO are we ept to become com.
placent under conditions which call
actually for increasingly strenuous
effort.
Tho Liberty Loan with It's original
Accomplishments Of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love OF q
new sensation. In the Third Cam.
paign much OF the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose be.
hind the campaign will have grown.
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were floated but It will be more than
ever needed whea the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown
our national payroll he's grown, the
needs Of our allies have grown, the
necessity OF forever ban!sh!ng the un-
speakable menace OF PrusHianism has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance OF this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace.
More arrogant, more desperate than
even the German Government puts
forward It's impossible claims upon the
rights and life OF humanity.
Our Government IN It's growing need
is calling upon US to give up our
luSuries, is conscripting the lives OF
our sons, ia controlling trade. labor,
and prices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and firmness OF pur.
pose.
The test OF our personal strength
OF character and determination is at
hand. Your Government pleads with
you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign stead
fastness Of purpose, an unselfsh pa.
triotism, which shall reflect the spirit
OF a man who having set his hand
to the execution of necessary task
would rather lose that hand than
draw II back. This is the spirit of
our President, Of our allies-it is
surely our own.

shortage occasioned by bad weather,

twice before drawing upon this re-
