Men familiar with the beautiful
home life of the tiger were unan-
imous yesterday in expressing their
qualification that Chief Justice
McAdoo on Tuesday had come TO
the defense of this much maligned
Critter Admirers of the stanch and
puritanica ideas of this worthy
beast concurred with the magistrate
in his belief that the play ''Tiger!
Tiger!" at the Belasco Theater ought
to have the name changed.
The present title, they said was
not fair to the tiger, and they hailed
the magistrates assertion that the
animal was reserved in its domes-
tic relationship" as a step toward
the vinidcation of creature that has
remained patient and silent, despite
the ugly stories circulated concern
ing it.
According to. DIR. William T. Hor-
nadayr director of the Bronx Zoo;
Joseph ]. Cunningham, head keep
er of the Central Park menagerie,
and Bill Snyder, head keeper emer-.
titus of that institution a true ac-
count of the life of almost any tiger
would make book which one could
place without fear in the hands of
the most delicately reared child.
In fact these gentlemen wonder
cd why the tiger had not received
greater mention in the Bible and
how he had ever managed to keep
out of a heroic roe in Pilgrims
Progress"
Bill Snyder asserted the tiger had
suffered all his days because GER
tain of his distinct relatives were of
q rather loose mode of living. Some
one Bill was sure, had gone and re-
peated stories about the chaste tig-
er that were true of his dissolute
connection, the tomcat.
There isn't an anima that's more
proper with his women folks" as
serted the head keeper emeritus.
There's no secret about the way the
S1mcat carries on, but the tiger
10, he's a chaste beast and faith
al to his mate"
DR.. Hornaday was another friend,
y the tiger who stood up for him.
He admitted that at times the an
lmal INDUCED in man-eating, but
Baid that this was rather a fault of
haanner than of heart.
THE tiger" he said, 'is more
correct in its behavior than many
sdembers of the human family" T
sfr. Belasco could not be reached
last night, but Harry ]. Walker
Ssanager of the play, said that he
vas sure his employer would be only
200 glad to do the right thing by the
tiger. He also absolved against the
creature. Mr.. Knoblock got his idea
20 said, from the libelous poem
that William Blake had written con-
Asrning the tiger.

PERSISTENT SLEEPER

Il shall never look at a red-headed
boy again without thinking of the most
persistent sleeper in captivity" writes
Alfred H. Quincy, a Y. M. c. A. Sec
rotary in France who was aboard the
ship 0ronsa which was torpedoed by
German submarine on the morning
of April 18th. "You will agree, am
sure, when l say that three times after
our ship had been fatally hit by a
German torpedo this young sleeping
beauty got back into the bed from
which he had been pulled and three
times tried to go to sleep again.
"He was only broth of boy, max
ing his first trip, | saw him often on
deck; and my mental picture of him
was shock Of red hair surmounting a
broad grin. That same grin spread
from ear to ear as, five hours after
the sinking of the ship, he stopped
slipping a mug of hot coffee in a rail-
way station on the coast to admit to
me that it was very mean, very mean
of Fritz to break up his nights sleep.

LOYALTY IN WAR TIME

Loyalty in peace ines and loyalty
in war times are two distinct things.
Not much is required to pass the 10y
atty test when ones country is not at
war, a simple compliance with the law
is all that IS required.
But loyalty in war times is not a
passive quantity. At such time one
may be without loyalty and still not
be disloyal. A person of this type will
do nothing either to assist or to harm
his country. He will not give himself
to his country's service and he will not
contribute financial support. Neither
will he discourage others from doing
this. He will do or say nothing treas
enable, and neither will he do or say
anything to put heart in the fighting
forces or to uphold the nation in its
struggle. He will be simply passive
onlooker. And that is not being loyal.
Our country is fighting the most
desperate struggle of history. 1t is
struggle so vast and momentous as to
demand the most complete support of
every one Of its citizens. Passive 10y
alty-the loyalty of peace times-is

not sufficient The brand of loyalty
now demanded is the kind that impels
one TO offer himself and his all, if
necessary, that his country may be
victorious in the great conflict.
Most Of us cannot go into the fight
ing forces; most of US cannot enter
into those industries directly connect
ed with the war, but all of us can
show our neighbors that we have the
right brand of patriotism.
The government is urging upon US
the necessity of saving as an essential
to victory. We are told that there is
not enough man power and not suff-
cient materials in the country to win
a quick victory if we continue TO use
this man power and those materials as
we did before the war. 1t is pointed
out that there are now more than
100000 men in the army and navy,
and that by August /, this number will
be increased to 100000, with a steady
addition to that number from then on.
These men not only cease to be pro-
ducers, but they become consumers on
a vast scale.
Thus it is that we are urged to buy
only those things which we need in
order that we shall not use up labor
and waste materials and transporta-
ton, so vitality necessary to the gov
eminent in its war work and so much
needed in the manufacture of things
essential to the health and efficiency
of our citizens.
By following the governments re-
quest to produce to our maximum ca
paeity and to consume as little as pos
sible We shall give practical express
sion to our loyalty-a militant loyalty,
the brand which stamps us as being
willing to do our part at home by sac
rifcing, by getting down to war ba-
sis by backing up our government
with all our strength. With our mon
ey savings we can then buy War Saw
ings Stamps and perform a double
service by giving the government cur
rent funds with which to buy the Ia
Dor and materials so much needed for
war purposes which We have refrain
ed from using. That is loyalty.

WHERE TAXES SHOULD
Be DECREASED
AND WHERE INCREASED.

One hears everywhere the argument
that taxes are already too high and
ought to be reduced.
There is no doubt ebout it, that
taxes for certain purposes ought to
be reduced, but in attempting the re-
duction of taxes, let US be sure that
we make our cuts in such way that
the people will be better off and not
worse off for our economies" In
affairs of government as well as in pri-
vate affairs we need to remember the
wise words of Solomon himself: There
is that scattereth yet increaseth; and
there is that withholdeth more than
is meet, but tendeth to poverty"
Let us illustrate. A vehy thought
full student of national affairs said to-
'us this week: THE curse of our
country is consumptive credit. | buy
on credit pair of shoes, or a suit of
clothes, or sack of flour, or an ex-
pensive clock or piano, or pleasure
car, and when | come to pay, the thing
| bought has done nothing to repay
the debt. That is eonsumptive credit
sort we ought to discourage. On
the other hand, here's business man
who borrows to buy better equipment
or enlarge his plant, or a farmer who
buys an extra horse or piece of labor
saving machinery or improved seed or
more lives ock-and when he comes to
settling time, the thing he has bought
has produced something to pay the
debt. II has more than earned the in
tercst and has earned something to
pay off the principal. That is pro-
ductive credit-a sort we ought to en-
courage. All over Europe merchants
and bankers have learned to discour-
age consumptive credit and encourage
productive credit. The south must
learn to do the same thing"
Now the same principle here illus
trated holds good in the matter or
taxation. What we must do is to re-
duce consumptive rather than produc-
tive taxation. And education is
productive tax-the most productive
Of, all taxes. 1t will so train and help
our people that they will be able to
pay the tax-and more-from the in
creased efficiency the expenditure
brings.-The Progressive Farmer.

YOUR OWN FARM PLAN.

The farmer who sticks close to the
crop rotation that he found best be-
fore the war may render the best
service to the world after all. He must
have fields that are making heavy
sods to pillow down. and it is just as i'm
portant to have land ready for plow-
crops two or three years ahead as it
ever was. If we do not manage to
keep somewhere near to the farm plans
that have been found to be best, there
will be a bad day of reckoning not
many years ahead. This can be done
and still respond to the calls of the
government for increased production.

THE BEST FIGHTING MACHINE

The American soldier is proving
himself to be the worlds best fighting
machine. And why not? More has
been put into the average American
than was ever put into any other ave-
rage man, and more Of hope and OPP
portunity have been placed before
him. The American soldier is above
the average-he is the average Of
those selected as most fit for service.
He would disappoint expectations if
he were not the best fighting soldier
the world has ever known. He can
be trusted to make good.

YOUR DUTY AS AN
EGG PRODUCER

Produce only infertile eggs this sum-
mer, eggs that will not show blood
rings. Do this by killing, selling, or
combining the ROSTERS after June Is.
The rooster does not make the hens
lay. The farmer who keeps a rooster
with his hens during the summer is
spelling eggs and cheating the nation
out of valuable food. Keep the nests
clean and free from lice. Gather the
eggs at least twice daily. Give the
hens lots of clean, fresh water.
Keep eggs in cool, dry, dark room
or cellar away from flies.
Take the eggs to market at least
twice week.
Whitewash and clean poultry hous-
es often. Paint perches win black oil.

COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY

When the land produces well town
people are happy. They have good
reason, for prosperous farms make
prosperous towns and cities. When
the farmers fail the towns fail. This
proves tina towns should have an in
terest in the farms, that farming is
not only an individual matter but that
it is also a community matter. The
day is coming when every town will
take an active interest in farm prob
lens.
The towns which awaken to this
point now, and organize to help the
farmers solve their labor problems
will be helping not only themselves
and preparing for future prosperity,
but they will be helping the whole ma
ton as well.
