WASTING SUGAR IN EATING
 PLACES.

Just for fun, l watched that fel low one day to see how much sugar he would put into his coffee. Bless me if he didn't keep on putting in Jumps until he had seven in his cup
 It was a restaurant man speaking,
 No use watching him now though,' he added This thing has been fixed so that there is no need of it. Consumers can't waste any more sugar in this place." ,
 Patriotic cooperation i'm hotels and restaurants wit. lthe governments food conservation system is mani fest here and everywhere
 One observer says the hotels and restaurants have done more system attic food saving than housewives accomplished
 At least, from our own observation, housewives couldn't beat the public eating places. Not one of them risk ed the chance of being called unpa- triotic
 That can scarcely be said of every housewife.

LANE FOR G|GHT ...,,. s,.. HOUR DAY, BUT HE
 THINKS UNT|MElY

| Washington, Feb. 9.-The practica- pbility of establishing during the war
 an eight hour day for railroad work
 CTS who do not come under the Ad- l'amson law or of penalizing overtime
 with a view of compelling close ad- Pherence to Ian eight-hour basis was
 questioned yesterday by members of 'railroad wake commission, after s.
 E. Heberling, president of the Switch
 mems union, had asked a penalty on
 overtime beyond eight hours in any | tWenty-four
 r q sympathize with you as to the
 desirability of a standard eight-hour day" Secretary Lane said. But
 whem> industries are short of men i who have been sent to the front
 would it be desirable to come to that ideal or given an increase in pay
 without disturbing llours?" Mr. Heberling said switchmen did 1 not ask an arbitrary eight-hour day 1 if overtime work was necessary. l I've want enough to make both
 ends meet" Heberling continued, | 'but we do not want the principle of the eight-hour day destroyed because of war conditions.'
 Secretary Lane assured him there | was no danger of that
 ''The only hour of our law which is observed" Mir. Heberling said, "is the 16-hour law, violation of which is punishable through an indictment" Charges that the eight-hou law was being disregarded by the rail roads in an effort to discredit it's op- eration by increasing greatly the overtime paid to employees, were made at previous hearing by rep resentatives of the conductors and trainmen.
 Mir. HeEerling said overwork was responsible for the extreme hazards of the switchmen's occupation, ex- hauston causing so many accidents that the unions insurance rates are very high.
 The union presented demands on all railroads last October for 90 per cent increase in wages an dtime and half for overtime beyond eight hours in any "A. Mir. Heberling said small pay prevented many men join ing the union through inability to pay the insurance assessments. The membership is now 10,700, chiefly in industrial centers along the lakes and through the Middle West.
 One switchman of every three and fraction is killed or injured every year, according to statistics given by the witness. Casualties among yard men constitute the majority of injuries to railroad workers, an av- craze of 43 switchmen bein& "hauled away every day.
 "This, gentlemen, is the reason we ask penalty on overtime.' MT. Heb erling said
 - Operation of the eight-hour law, Heberling said, showed that the cost to the railroads was little more be- cause of the increased efficiency of the men. While in theory, it cost 25 per cent more to pay 10 hours wages for eight hours work, he said, the ac- tual increase, in the cost of switch ing cars had been shown to be only seven one-hundredths of one cent per car
 The wage increase asked would add, for both union and non-union men $1.95 a day to the wages of IA 700 men and $1S0 for 37,G00 men, total of $34 ,957 300 a year. MT. Heb erling said wages throughout the country should be standardized.

which force has the best, says the

BRAVE SONS OF FAR WEST

READY FOR THE FOURTH LOAN

Missouri is ready for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, so far as money in the
banks goes. State Bank Commission
er Enright announces that the total
deposits IN state banks and trust COM
panies amounted to 1854, $50, $500 on
June 2S, the highest mark in history.
When the total deposits of the ma
tional banks are added, the grand to-
tai for the state approximates $780,
100000. The showing as to the state
institutions is especially significant.
in view OF the fact Tat corpora
lively few OF them belong to the Fed
eral Reserve system. although the
largest are members. The noAmem-
bers have been at a disadvantage as
to government deposits. Missouri has
responded literally TO the three Lib
erty loans, the subscription TO the
third being especially well distributed.
1t is estimated that the state has paid
over s350,000,000 for government OBJ
legations within the year, yet the to-
tai deposits OF state financial institu-
tons are over $50 100000 greater than
n year ago. practically all the gain
being in individual deposits.
This indicates that Missourians
lihave been sharing in war prosperity
even though no cantonment was To-
Gated in the state and comparatively
few munition plants are running.
Much of the prosperity is due to the
stimulation of agriculture and there
is every reason to expect its continue
ton. along with a growth in other
lines.
Missouri had an excellent organiza.
ton in the last loan drive and 1t is
presumed that 1t will be available for
the coming loan campaign. The pub
lie has been educated to the meaning
Of bond buying and everybody recog-
nizes the full significance of the war.
The quota will be much larger than
that of the third loan. but with proper
organization and diligent activity.
Missourians will be able to reach II.
with their new esources.-Editoria

good Roadway in their campaign
against the disloyalists whose activi.
ties take the form Of deprec!ating the
value of Liberty Bonds. as well as
against those more easily recognized

speech made in Cleveland before a
meeting Of the county chairmen of the
Liberty Loan Committee.
I'VE are getting these men," he
said. "and we are preventing the work
of those still at large to great ex-

for advertising. We have notified all

BAD NEWS FOR THE KAISER.

We here mt home have an op-
portunity to send the Germans some
bad news. The Germans have great
respect for money; they know its
vital value in wagng war They
know too, that the support the Amer
lean people give a Government loan
measures largely the support they
give their Government, the moral as
well as the financial support they
give their armies in the field.
A tremendous subscription TO the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as
defeat for them on the battle field,
and it will mean as much. 1t spells
their defeat; it breaks their morale;
il means power to their enemies. A
subscription to the loan is a contri-
button to German defeat and Amer
lean victory
