Why the Savings Pledge?

National War Savings Committee
During the present intensive War
Savings campaign we are asked by the
President and by Secretary McAdoo
to pledge ourselves to save and with
our savings to buy at definite times
specific amount of War-Savings
Stamps Why should we lie called upon
to do this and why should we do it?
We are called upon to do it because.
as President Wilson Says, this is war
of nations not of armies. and every one
in the land mast do his share. SO far
more than 2.OOO.0OO men have gone
into the Army and Navy and 100000
more are to join before August LIST.
These 3.OOO.GOO men give themselves as
their donation to the war. The re-
manning 97.GOO,OOO people left ut home
must give something else as their
share.
This savings pledge gives the stay
at-homes an opportunity for service.
We are asked to pledge ourselves to
save and econOmize. to use labor and
materials only AZ necessity demands,
and to invest our savings in Warsaw
in.s Stamps.
The Government asks us to do this
because the amount Of labor and mate
rails in the country is limited; there is
not enough Of either to permit US to
use it i'll the same free way as we did
In peace times and at the same time to
leave enough, in the markets for the
sasie-ef the Governments i+ fHrelSa
use the supply the Government does
not have it for war needs. And the
smaller the amount the Government

has for use the longer will the war
last That is the primary reason for
the savings campaign.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. The Government asks us to
pledge ourselves to save to help win
the war. 1t does not ask us to give Il
anything EXCEPT our cooperation. In
return for cur help we receive Gov
ernment security which pays us a
good rate of interest
If we do as the Government asks.
and as we should, this, then. will be
the result: CD We shall buy only
those things necessary to maintain us
III the best of health and spirits: (2)
by refraining from buying unnecessary
things we shall leave in the markets
for Government use a greater supply
OF laEor and material with which to
WIN a quicker victory; (3) by not frit-
ting our money away ON things that do
not make for efficiency we shall keep
ourselves in better health and increase
our powers Of production t4) by III
vestilg our savings in War-Savings
Stamps we shall he putting aside for
those days which inevitably come, IL
we live long enough, the means to
greater happiness.
When SO much can be accomplished
by joining in this War-SavingS CAM
paign, why should we not do it?

You Will Win the War

orS in good many of our schools
would better begin with English.
Before you can win in France you
must take Broadway and all the little
Broadways of America i'll hand. You
must do something to the swine soul of
the crowd that leads the jazz life; that
swills and guzzles as usual: that brags
ais if it's fifty dollar Liberty Bond We're
engraved in its hearts blood; that
cheers everything including the cho-
lus that comes out in American-tiag
netticoats: and that proves its latri-
otiSm by it's hoarSeneSs and its alibi
buttons.
Before ycu can win iii France YOU
must cure or quarantine the fellows
who, at forty. are getting the children's
disease that most men contract in the
early stages of their mental growth
those measles of the indthalf-baked
and wholly impractical theories of life
and living The plight of Russia
teaches these men nothing; nor does
the accumulated human experience Of
the centuries. They start ny ignoring
Nature and human nature, and reach
Il Utopian conclusion that is like
MOhammedan'S dream of heaven
plenty of wives and good things for
themselves and hell for the dogs or un-
believers in their theories,
Before you can win in France you
must put out of business In America
those men who preach the Brotherhood
of man and practice hatred Of all
men-those apostles of peace and pros
perity who would bring about the mil
lennium by violence and destruction !;
and those drummers for discomfort,
| disorder and disloyalty who sell Boil
| shevikism on IL commission basis.
Before you can win the war in
France YOU must put every fdler In
America to work. War Is the world
cure for idleness. There Is a war job
ready and waiting now for every piano
pounding girl, lounge lizard, tango
queen, poolroom hobo, doll and he-doll,

Historic Old Building Moved.

Mansfield Enterprise, June 13th.l
In order to make room for the new
dining room and kitchen for the Mans
field Female College. the contractors.
Corhin Brothers, have moved the old
dining room back and it will now face
on Crosby Street, just opposite the res-
idcnce of Mr.. E. Y Wemple. This old
building was erected during 1854, and
was the original home of the college.
However; it has been used for Il num-
her of years as the dining room and
kitchen, OH the first floor, and the sec
ond story has been the quarters Of the
Domestic Science Department.
The building is one of the oldest in
our city. and its lumber was all sawed
at the old water mill that stood on the
ravine just above the point where the
High bridge now crosses the ravine.
Although this house has stood for
SiXtyfOur years, its timbers are sound
and solid yet, and with moderate
sum spent for repairs will be as good
as ever. The huge columns on its front
mark it as type of architecture that
was in vogue half century since.
1t has been suggested that it be
turned over to the Alunnie Society,
that they may keep it up as a memen-
to of the past history of the school, and
that it, be used for their annual gath
eringS, as well as the home of the
y. NJ. {. A.. and the upper room utiliz-
ed as quarters for some of the teach
ers. The days Of usefulness for this
old landmark are not gone yet. and we
hope that means will be found to use
it to the utmost extent.
The old Session Hall will also be
moved to IL new location and fitted NJ
as a dormitOry for the use of the
smaller girls who may attend the
college

Remember that when President Will
son designated June 2Sth as National
War-Savings Day and called upon the
entire population to save and to buy
War-Savings Stamps with their saw
ings. he was pointing out way III
which every one could help win the
war. Those among us who are loyal
will respond to it cheerfully.
Both you and the Government can
not use the same labor and materials.
Ii YOU despise what the Germans do.
let your savings help fight them.

The Dipping Vat Question.

THE editor of the Pollock Press. in
his last issue. says:
We are very much in favor of dip
ping cattle to kill ticks. but just at this
time. when the war is at such !; critical
stage and every ounce Of man power Is
needed to carry on that work, we are
of the opinion that it would be patri-
otic deed to call off the dipping until
after the war"
The above contradictory statement,
of heing in favor of a thing. yet Of the
opinion that it should he discontinued.
comes at the critical time when it can
do the most harm to Grant Parish.
The state and national authorities
have sent men here to help us make
the parish tick free this year, and the
year is now half gone. These men. ex-
perts in tick eradication. assure us that
if the work of dipping is thoroughly
done this year there will he no occa-
sion to continue another year. What is
wanted now is to do the thing and get
through with it, and not stop in the
middle of the river to swap horses.
Another angle to look at the thing is
from the efficiency point of view. The
dipping Of cattle adds rom 30 to 40 per
cent to their value. and the man power
of the nation is helped when the cows
give more milk. and cattle are in-
creased In their meat production and
in their ability to breed and multiply
their food giving qualities for man.
Thus by dipping our cattle we can aid
in winning the war.
The whole of the above is clipped
from the COIfar Chronicle. and Brother
Goodwyn. the editor of that paper, is
right in the stand he takes. At this
time is not an Opportune time to sus-
pend the dipping of cattle to destroy
ticks. nor would any time be. as to
that. once the practice~was well under
way and its completion in sight. It Is
regrettable that this tick eradication
movement did not come prior to the
time the nation was at war. But it
didn't-not as Il general thing 1t ha:;
come just now because we are driven
to it. In word. it is war measure
and must now he continued to its sue
cessful completion. Nothing should he
said or done to discourage the dipping
of cattle at this time
