WHY PAPER MUST
NOT BE WASTED

The governments requirements
for all kinds of paper are increas.
ing rapidly and must be supplied.
Paper making requires a large
amount of fuel which is essential
for war purposes. A pound OF
paper wasted represents from one
to three pounds of coal wasted.
Paper contains valuable chem.
icals necessary for war purposes.
Economy in the use of paper will
release a large amount Of these ma.
terials for making ammunition or
poisonous gases.
Paper making requires labor
and capital. both of which are
needed in war service.
Paper making requires transpor.
tation space. Economy in the use
of paper will release thousands of
freight cars for war purposes.
Greater care in the purchase and
use of paper will save money.
Your savings will help finance the
war
Strictest economy in the use OF
paper will prevent a shortage

GLOBE SIGHTS
from the Atchison Globe.1

An occasional apology is effective,
but too many of them fall flat.
Suggestions are as easy as criti-
cisms, and have less rough edges.
When a married couple get along
neither one deserves all the credit.
Uneasy lies the head that is trying
to get out from under a crown.
An Atchison man worth $4,000 Is
moving in a wheelbarrow.
A man and woman can argue pleas
antly until they marry.
There has been a glazing example
lately of man who talked too much.
Reporters who are always asking

st. Louis went wet by $4,000, which
reminds US of a precinct with 420
people which cast Sill votes.

cross after every name: Republican

rests easy.

President Wilson'S appeal for
Democrat congress probably changed
few votes but in issuing it he per-
formed a real service for Republicans.
He gave them longed for opportun-
ity to express disapproval of his ad-
ADMINISTRATION without making them
selves liable to an accusation of dis
loyalty. The president started some
thing that he could not stop. The
voters had decided to register their
protests against certain administra-
tive and legislative acts with their
pencils in the quiet and seclusion of
the election booth. but Mr.. Wilson
gave them an opportunity to give vo-
cal expression to their thoughts.

choly than men nobody knows. Prob
ably they have no more suffering,
anxiety and griefs to bear than men.
but somehow they manage to extract
more anguish out of them. doubtless
because they enjoy being martyrized.
At any rate, it is observable that wom-
en- make a cult of tears.
Men laugh while women merely
smile. You hardly ever hear a woman
give a big hearty laugh that shows she
really is tickled. When men go to
the theater they pick out a jolly COM
edy or a rip Nparing farce. A woman's
idea of a perfectly delightful play Is a
three handkerchief tragedy where she
can sit for two hours and sob in the
sympathy of the heroine, and go home
with her heart bowed down with the
woe of one of the insoluble problems
of life.
When men have one they love torn
from them by death they try to forget,
it by diverting their minds in every
possible way from the thought of their
loss. They go out and hunt light ana
bright things and cheerful people, but
women sit in darkened rooms and
nurse their sorrows, and haunt the
cemeteries where thier hearts are
burieds Men seldom speak of their
sorrows A woman with a sorrow
seldom speaks of anything else.

JUST FOLKS"


Some folks rush thru life and troubles,
Laughing, whirling, playing, dancing
After everything entrancing,
Loving laughter, loving beauty,
Flirting with prosaic duty,
Fitting blifhely hither, thither,
Slipping blossoms ere they wither,
And when sorrows streams would claim
them,
In his grasp would crush or tame them
They go dancing lightly over like the white
caps on the waves.
There are other solemn creatures,
Who with drawn and heavy features,
Drag themselves and others with them,
Thru all misery life can give them,
Meeting Joy meeting sorrow,
With all trouble they can borrow.
They could laugh. but seldom do 1t
Ere at sometime they might rue it,
Or lest some departed spirit,
lowering near where they might hear 1t,
Think that they had ceased the gxieving,
They occasioned by their leaving
So go plodding heavy laden from the
cradle to the grave.
There are those who laugh in season.
Choose their pleasure within reason,
Benr each sorrow. share each blessing.
With a grace that's worth possessing
Live and love and laugh and labor.
Greet each needy soul as neighbor
Have their faults but try to end them
Make mistakes but try to mend them,
Know that II their faults are many,
Others cant be free from any,
Just in short, they're really living.
When you've met them you'Il feel better for
the hand clasp which they gave.

A JOB THAT WAITS.

When the Republicans enter upon
control of the national legislature, as
they now seem likely to do on March
4. one of the first pieces of construc-
tive legislation they should undertake
is the establishment of a budget sys-
tenn of appropriations for the ex-
penses of the federal government.
The enormous demands on the treas
ury for the prosecution of the war
have brought to public attention thu
necessity for such system as it has
never before been presented.
The Democrats have had six years
lation along this line, but have not
even attempted it. A fine opportunity
is afforded Republicans to do some
thing of real and lasting benefit to
the country.
When a man proposes to build a
house for himself he not only has
definite plans which he has accepted,
but before laying the foundation he
makes up his budget as to how and
where the money is to be spent. Be-
fore a corporation starts to build a
new plant, it does the same, and a
railroad estimates with surprising ac-
curacy what hundred or five hun
bred miles of new track will cost. 1t
even makes allowances for cloudbursts
struction period.
A house, or plant, or even an en-
tire railroad, is Insignificant COM
pared with our present war expendi-
lures. If prudence. good manage
ment and sound stewardship have
been found desirable and necessary
to the proper and economic expendi-
parably more SO in the spending OF
| thousands of millions.
The greater the trust, the greater
| should be the effort of those to whom
it is intrusted n to manage that there
may be the fullest accounting pos
sible to those whose money is being
spent
budget system like most large nations
says Popular Mechanics, we now find
ourselves spending vast sums in a
more or less haphazard fashion; we
have no organization to do such work
| However, that is no reason for con.
tinuing to go on without a budget
There were innumerable things fol
which we had little or no experience
or departmental machinery when VIZ
entered the war, but organization wa.
soon accomplished, and in most case.
we were able to take advantage of tn
experience of our allies, and follow
such lines as they had proved mos
successful. A country which had tn.
financial brains to reach the position
we occupy. certainly possesses tn,
financial minds necessary to organ
ize a practical budget system with M
great effort. 1t is admittedly the wise
prudent thing to do; it is sometime

Another Billion Dollars for
Heavy Artillery Is Asked by War
Chiefs" was a Washington head
line the other day.
The nation will grant it without
a .murmur. 1t is necessary in
dealing with the enemy.
A billion, another billion, for
powder and shell to rend and tear
and kill. So the enemy raises a
corresponding billion to slay and to
wound in turn.
This is war, but not all of war
as a humane people who pay the
bills look on it.
"One Hundred and Seventy Mil
lion Dollars for the Seven Great
Agencies for Relief Work."
That is another side of war.
Shall we give another billion to
MAIN and destroy, but hold out on
the required 10 millions for re-
lief?
This sum now asked for the
seven agencies IN the United War
Work campaign is less than one
dollar a week for every boy in our
army and navy.
We buy liberty bonds and pay
taxes to carry on the war. for mu-
nitions, for all the weapons of war.
These enormous expenditures OF
the government do not include the
humane work of the great relief
organizations--secr athletic
directors, lecturers, entertainers,
restaurant workers, Libraries,
preachers. motion pictures, litera-
ture, facilities for writing letters,
something as nearly as possible
corresponding to home comforts.
These relief workers go with our
boys every step of the way" Go
with them by subscribing to the
United War Work campaign.
