The United States is the rich
est nation in the world. 1t was
the richest when the war began
The war has dIained it less than
most other great nations have
been drained. How much strong
er this nation is than others is
not generally appreciated in the
United States. Here are the

Our country has won all this
through original possession of
great natural resources not only.
but also thru the equal opportun-
tiles provided by liberty, by the
qualities of people who have
been drawn here by the promise
of liberty, and by the qualities
which. generation by generation,
are developed by liberty.
All our powers are great as be-
fore. Some are strengthened
Opportunities are increased. The
whole world has become our
market With careful solving of
new difficulties growing out of
the war, the next ter years
should be for US the most pros
porous in the history of the
United States.
America now is the great pro-
Queer of food products. Its
power for production are to be
increased. Use of farm tractors
will aid in this. So also will the
new development of fertilizing
potash plants in the United States
World market for food pro
ducts, at least during the next
year, are likely to increase. Be-
fore long we may be called upon
to save Germany from famine,
and feed millions of others in
central and southern Europe and
in Russia.
Liberty will give oppressed
nations new opportunities. Ma
tions will become better acquaint-
ed. A freer exchange of ideas
will elevate the standard OF liv-
ing, aud increase the wants of
the inhabitants. This will pro-
vide new markets for products of
the United States.
Our way to greater prosperity
is to produce an increased variety
of products useful to mankind,
and to produce greater quantity
For this we have rich lands,
great stores of metals and other
raw products, and great manu-
featuring plants. The mum Der
of these plants, now to be turned
again to peace lime industry, has
grown greatly since 1914
The United States has not suf-
fered seriously by submarine
warfare. We have a greater
mer liant fleet than ever before

feet is growing constantly. More
ships are to be built by contract
with the Shipping Board.
The fleet will be turned to

Pajamas, worn instead of night
dresses, have proved so sensible and
SO fetching that they have become an
lingerie. low we accept them as a
matter Of course. 1t was because
they proved pretty and fascinating
that they were followed by negligees
that scorned skirts md reveled in
trousers, inviting all sorts of gorgeous
oriental silks and furbelows, to come
and be at home with them. Japan,
China, Persia, Turkey and heaven only
knows what other lands, have been
ransacked for inspirations.
The designers, once having landed
an idea, exploit it to suit themselves.
In the picture a lovely negligee is
shown with Powered satin trousers,
or pantalettes, that are gathered in
about the ankle. Over an ivory sur
face, or on any good color background,
bouquets of flowers in several col
ors are printed on silks that make
these pether garments things of
beauty. Worn over these there are

had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar Of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush.
and he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches dose Of their
own medicine. Our boys are going over
the top at dawn of the morning to take
their trenches. Well give 'em a taste
of cold steel with their sausages and
beer. You just sit tight now until they
relieve you. I'll have to go now, lad,
as it's nearly time for my relief, and ]
don't want them to see me a-talkin
with you. So long, laddie, cheero."
With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing Of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and a o
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, thu
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him:
Instead of whimpering in that cor
ner, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like 70,
what's spoilin' our record. We've beer
out here nigh onto eighteen months
and you're the first man to desert hi
post. The whole battalion is laughin
and pokin' fun at D company, ba'
luck to you but you won't get anothe
chance to disgrace us. They'll pu
your lights out in the mornin'."
After listening to this TRADE, Lloyd
in faltering voice, asked: "They ar
not going to shoot me, are they? Why
