Nature has framed men different
ly. Some are fitted for science, some
for literature, some for finance and
some for complaining. The complain
ers attribute their poverty to their
honesty. or lack Of opportunity, and
to the successful man they give curses
for success, in their opinion, means
crookedness. But the plain truth is
IL these gentlemen would spend less
time In condemning the successful
man and q little less self laudation
they would vastly improve their con.
dition.
There are lots Of men employed by
the great industrial concerns who are
poverty stricken, and as a rule it is
their own fault-the government has
nothing to do with it and should keep
its hands off. Such people should be
told to shut up and saw wood.-W. w.

Physicians and others who have been
to see the strange sight and have
made an examination declare that the
fire is caused by some peculiar at

been confined TO the Dunivant home.
The flame is white and when ex-

people of the United States are
 adopting wheat and meat rations
 because of the food shortage in
 four countries whose combined
 population is less than one-thir- teenth of the world? Do we sense what this means? Dove realize that in this situation there is a ter ri ble picture of a world nearer to world famine than ever before?
 Facing an alarming decrease in sources of food which should have increased, we also face a stagna- tion of commerce due also to the war. Famine is not predicted alone upon lack of food but upon a lack of proper kind of food.
 We must save food in order to supply our Allies with the subsis- tence they need in these their days of privation and distress. We must save them in order to save ourselves. We must save food, for food will win the war.
 The meatless and wheatless meals and days are called for as our willing contribution to the sustenance of our Allies. They are dying in those lands for our cause. Shall we let them starve?
 Not every household in this broad land is able to contribute in men or money to help the United States win the war, but every household can make the contribu- tion of self-denial which is re- quired. A measure of prudence, really no sacrifice, is all that is asked of us.
 Thousands have already put this desired restriction upon themselves. What is now need ed and asked is that the move ment of unselfshness for a great purpose shall extend to all classes and to all individuals except those who are actually invalids. or those whose years or whose special ser vices and needs properly exempt them from the requirement.
 The president has put the ne- cessity for saving food squarely before the nation. He has pointed out exactly how the necessary can be effected. An ob- ligation of duty and honor has been put upon us. It would be unpatriotic, not to say almost not to heed his request.
 The genuine sacrifices which so many are making in order to win the war make it difficult for one to speak dispassionately or with moderation concerning such state ments as "I shall not deny myself wheat four so that the French men can have it. It won't hurt them to eat corn any more than it will us"
 It is not the time to palliate, to justify or to treat with complacency such statements, or to ignore those people in our midst who make them. No pa triotic American citizen is justi- fled or can be excused for enter taining such thoughts or making such statements. It is no time to mince matters. Absurd and snobbish repugnance on the part of people with more money than brains to the use of left over" food does not excuse them. Plain laziness and indifference to the rights and needs of others can no longer be condoned. He who thinks more of his stomach and of his present convenience than of his own life, or of the lives of
The St. Johns herald., 1918-04-04


 unpatriotic, and slow but certain national suicide. A man or wo- man, able bodied and well, who in order that the wheat may be shipped abroad to win the war will not eat corn instead of wheat, who will not do even this little for his country in order that your boy or mine may be spared from making the sacrifice supreme, should hear on all sides and from innumerable tongues the univer- sal hiss and sound of public scorn. He should hear more, for, he who would give up essential fiber ty to purchase little temporary safety, deserves neither liberty nor safety"
 The spectre of famine is abroad!
 In Washington, London, Paris and Rome it is we'll known that ultimate success for the allied cause becomes every day more and more matter of holding famine at bay. In these capitals, and wherever thoughtful consid- eration is given the matter, it is known there is not enough food in the world to day to provide for normal needs in normal times, and that present conditions place much of this supply absolutely beyond reach.
 All this, of course, emphasizes the need for greatly increased acreage in all crops this year. It must prove to the average individ- ual the immediate and vital need for eleminaUing food waste and reducing home consumption to the lowest point consistent with ade- quate nutrition.
 These needs have been thund- cred and re-echoed thru every channel of publicity. MT. Hoover and his helpers have tried to i'm press upon the people the critical nature of the situation. Still we find not few who, because they never have seed a time when this western hemisphere h d n , t enough food, cannot be brought to comprehend the possibility of any condition approaching fam inc.
 The facts speak for themselves.
 They should sound a warning that cannot be ignored. The only course open to us, upon whom the result O. the war now hinges, is to face these facts and save and plant accordingly.
 Americas supreme. test is here. We have the men, the material and means, and if we have the proper spirit we will win. If we lack it, we lose.
 ''The war can be won only by self-forgetting devotion of the leaders and of the people. By putting every particle of strength and power and purpose and will back of the government; by doing whatever is helpful and abstain ing from whatever is hurtful; by l holding up the hands of constitu- ted authority and infusing it with l the spirit and determination of | uncompromising victory"
 There is no escape. The war was forced upon us and no matter how great may be the cost in treas ure and in lives, we must fight it . through to a triumphant finish. Our liberty is at stake!
 For all we have and are;
 For all our children's fate; Stand up and meet the war;
 THE HUN IS AT THE GATE!
The St. Johns herald., 1918-04-04
The Hun is at
 the Gate
(frOm last week.

Defense, and adopted by the Ari- zona Council of Defense:
 So we came into the war fer self-defence. So now, as Presi- dent Wilson says, We are fight ing as truly for the liberty and self-government of the United States as if the war of our own Revolution had to be fought over again, and every man in every business in the United States must know; but this time, that his whole future lies in the bal ance."
 It is our lives, liberty, property and happiness that are at stake! If any man has an idea that we are fighting others battles, not our own, the sooner he gets away from that idea the better it will be for him, the better it will be for all of us.
 The immediate duty of America is to send men and resources to the battlefelds of Europe to help France and England win the war before their strength is further depleted and the war brought to America. It is our plain duty to fight in self-defense and for and with our friends. while we have them, and to the end that there may be an end of all war forever.
 We are as a nation in the presence of a great task which demands supreme sacrifice and endeavor of every one of us. ** "
 We should get it out of our heads that the only way in which we can show our patriotism, that the only way in which we can save ourselves is to serve as sol diers, for to save the soldiers some of us must serve at home. This will be a long war. and against the millions of men that Germany is now massing on the western front, our millions of men must be opposed. We must prepare for days, weeks, months and years of struggle, of suffer- ing and of sacrifice, the like of which the world has never seen. This is life and death struggle which we have entered, deter mined to establish once for all thata government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth" " We have notas yet fully comprehend ed the magnitude of the conflict in which we are engaged nor re- alized that our own private, per sonal liberty is involved in the issue. We must realize it today, for tomorrow it will be too late.
 The demands of our allies and our own troops for labor and ma teriaI are so prodigious that they can only be met by the most rigid thrift and economy which we must all practice if our fighting men are to be properly clothed, fed and equipped.
 We must not only save at every point but loan the money saved to the Government. Liberty Loans and War Savings Stamps are the best securities the world affords and by investing in them, you will help the soldier boys and yourselves at the same time.
 Why are we so slow to appreci- ate the facts? Why will we learn only at the cost of our blood and treasure and not from the eXper- fences of others that food will win the war? Do we understand that the combined crops of neces- sary foods in Great Britain, Italy, France and Rnlrninn laSt una,. tn-
