There are still some private

Are You a Bond Stacker?

In defining a bond Stacker,
the Saturday Evening Post
expresses itself forcefully and
to the point. as follows:
"The law says that you
must not give aid and comfort
to the enemy. Good conscience
says that you must give aid
and comfort to your own coun-
try. One test of a mans at
titude is this Liberty Loan.
There is the prof German at
heart, who wants the Kaiser
to win and obstructs this coun-
try by the mean treason of
passive resistance-doing all
the harm he can without taxi
ing a risk. There are willful
dead beats, who deliberately
choose to sponge on their
neighbours by taking all the
advantages the United
States offers them and shirk-
ing as many obligations as the
law permits. Others, not pro-
Germans or willful dead beats,
are merely lazy and lukewarm.
They could raise a hundred
dollars, or many multiples- of
a hundred dOllars-to be re-
paid out of their income in the
next six months-if the alter
native were some personal
calamity; if default meant
that they were going into
bankruptcy or into Jail. But
they do not make an exigent
personal problem Of this Lib
erty Loan. They think other
people will subscribe; t he
banks will furnish the money.
Let George do it! All these
people come to exactly the
same thing. Indifference and
selfshness are exactly as SER
viceable allies of the Kaiser
as the man who secretly
chuckles over the weekly u
boat toll. Every inhabitant
of this country who does not
do his utmost to put his in
come at the service of the
government, is playing Hind
enburg's game.

EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT

Estimating six hundred persons
in Lordsburg above the age of fifteen.
each having one extra hour of day-
light after each days work. means a
total of six hundred hours, or an
amount equal to the work of one man
for seventy-five days of eight hours
per day. / think we must all AGREE
that nothing near this amount of ex-
ira work has been done, ALTHOUGH a
neat percentage is shown.
This saving feature should helm in
three different ways. (a) We save
n hour Of electricity. which 0oes 10
our credit and Indirectly this
means just so much coal saved for
the country. (b) Sunshine is the one
greatest germ killer, so the more we
are IN the sunshine the better our
health will be. (c) By saving more
dayllght the government has felt that
there should be more individual pro-
duction. Now in what way will the
majority Of people, working for a sal
airy, be able to do more along this
line n to use their extra time in
the garden? New Mexico has never
raised enough food within her bouo-
darles TO feed her own people. But
by everyone doing his bit in the gar
ASH TINS year this can be made to
show up much differently. The little
each can do will mean much to the
aggregate. So let no one think, "Mv
little will not count"

The Health Pacifist

One of the constantly recurring
problems that society has to face
is what to do with the pacifst,
that peculiar hybrid of the hui
man specie born of indecision
and inaction. The paciist per-
ceives a bumblebee upon his nose,
but spends his time in debating
whether it were better to suffer
the pain of the sting or exert
himself to scare it away.
Today the most dangerous pa
cifist to the nation is the health
pacihst. He would have us be-
lieve that the accumulation of
wealth is more important than
the building of strong bodies;
that fresh air can be gulped
down in a few minutes like food
and therefore openair schools and
sanitary factories are unneces-
sary; that it is unwise to fight
disease while there are plenty of
young men to fill the ranks of
the army.
The course of the patriotic
American is clear. Every means
at his disposal should be used to
promote the various forms of
health propaganda. The finest
physical specimens have been
taken to the army. The ex-
empted and rejected men must
be assisted, perhaps forced, to
remedy their defects. The COM
ing generation must be guarded
against disease in order that the
war losses may be counter-bal-
anced.
The New Mexico Public Health
Association suggests that it is
the duty of everyone to look well
to his own health, to take an ac-
tive interest in the public health
conditions of his community, his
state, AMI his nation, and to do
his share in spreading informa-
ton that will help his neighbor
in the fight against disease.

no right to a living from the
