As You Save You Serve

In ordinary peaceful times merchants inclined
to be bit wasteul in the matter of deliveries OF
goods credits and multiplicity of sales people This they
did to please their customers 1t cost money 1t wasted
time and labor. 1t increased the cost Of living.
But these war days The government insists that
saving is prime ingredient in good Americanism; that
waste is pro-Germanism We must time, money
labor. We must help others to time, money and
labor. Then there viii be time, labor and
money for winning efforts.
Every parcel carried home time, labor and
money. Every purchase returned to the store wastes
time labor and money.
Time, money labor lost decreases the nations war
efficiency. This is just true whether you lose them
or aid your merchant in wasting them
American waste here at home wastes American lives
over there.

BRAZILIAN MOTORSHIP SUNK
BY SUB OFF VIRGINIA COAST

NEW YORK-The Brazilian mo-
torship Madrugada. 1913 gross tons,
was sunk by shellfire by a German
submarine Thursday morning near
Winter Quarter shoal, off the north
ern Virginia coast. Captain Freder-
lex Rouse and his crew of twenty
one men told of the destruction of
the vessels upon being landed here
Friday by a steamer which picked
them up.
The captain and crew escaped in
life boats and were rescued after
rowing about four hours. The Mad
rugada left New York two days ago
carrying cargo consigned to Santos,
Brazil.
According to Captain Rouse, the
submarine emerged about 200 yards
from his vessel and opened fire with
out warning. The crew Immediately
took to the boats and the ship went
down within few minutes. No
attempt was made to moleset the
lifeboats, of which there were two,
according to the captains statement.
He estimated that the underseas boat
was about 400 feet long. She car
ried two guns, fore and aft.
