HARDSHIPS BROADEN MIND

'.All creeds and all our foibles have
disappeared in this great conflict,
says Major Laughlan Mclean Watt,
chaplain for several Scottish regi-
ments with a record of three years OF
service, who is now speaking in Ohio
for the u. s. food administration.
Major Watt tells how he shared his
tent in the mud Of France with a
Catholic chaplain. I'VE work to-

I Protectionist Congress be brought
into control as the result of the cleo,
ton of 1918. Already the election of
a Republican majority in the House
seems assured, provided, of course,
the Protectionists of the country get
out the full Protection vote. The bat
tie for supremacy in the Senate in its
relation to American industries, is
one of the most important battles ever
fought for Protection. The treaty of
peace must be ratified by the Senate.
With a Protectionist majority in that
body the President is not likely to
press his proposition for "the remov-
al of all economic barriers" Such a
clause in a treaty of peace would be
rejected by Protectionist Senate.
This year there is an active and eff
cient Senatorial Campaign Commit
tee. The efforts of that committee
should receive the hearty support of
Protectionists. Concentrate on the
Senate.-American Economist.
"Sugar production under the Amer
lean flag has quadrupled in the Is
years since 1900" declares the trade
reviewer Of the National City Bank
Of New York. Thirteen years of that
period was under the Republican Pro-
tective policy, and one year, 1915, was
under war conditions. Following hard
or the passage of the Democratic
Tariff law, the sugar industry of this
country began to decline, but it was
saved by the European war. Bath

THE DOUBLE EFFECT OF
ECONOMY

When an American citizen, instead
of spending 500 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the Government he per-
forms double service.
First, he furnishes the Government
with 500 to use in the prosecution of
the war.
Second, he has relieved to the ex-
tent of 500 the drain on our goods
and services; that is, materials and
labor. To make the article or articles
he would have bought, or to manufac-
ture others to take their place in the
market, would require materials and
labor. In addition, to get the article
to him labor and freight space would
be required. By doing without the
article, he has left free a certain
amount of material to be used for war
purposes, a certain amount of labor to
be used in the same way, and he has
also relieved to certain extent the
transportation facilities of the coun-
dry.
This may not be much in the indi-
FiOhhs case, DuC when HulureuS oI
thousands and millions of Americans
pursue this course it means millions
and millions of dollars loaned the
Government, tremendous quantities of
materials left for uses of the Nation
in this war, millions Of hours of labor
free to do war work, and vast
amount of freight space free for ma
Gonal uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make;
are small and trivial compared to the
sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors
make daily while they offer constant
Iy their lives for their country, the
greatest sacrifice of all.

PORK BADLY NEEDED

While for the time being there is
plenty Of beef, pork is much needed to
ship to Europe for the fighters and
the Food Administration is urging
consumers to eat as little pork as pos
sible, and instead of wasting garbage
to feed 1t to hogs and grow more
hogs.

In discussing his in Philadelphia, Cobb said he

Boys Needed Elsewhere, So
Golfers Should Tote Bags

The war promises to invade even the
sacred precincts of the golf course, and
carrying ones own clubs will be a war
necessity in the near future if the golf
and country clubs act upon the sugges-
ton of Burridge D. Butler state di-
rector in Illinois of the United States
Boys Working Reserve.
Butler believes that the duty of the
small boy lies in other directions than
carrying the bag for the tired business
man, and asks that all boys over six
teen join the ranks of the reserve to
help fill the demands for farm labor.
