"orlon" type Of stars.

The youngest stars of which we
have knowledge are the "Orion" type
OF stars. The constellation of Orion
is composed mainly Of them. as we'll
as parts of Taurus. the Pleiades. and
parts Of Perseus. In color, they are
much like the Sirius type, blush white,
and brilliant, but spectroscope at
once detects the difference between
them. Stars like Sirius and Vega
are surrounded by hydrogen gas. but
the Orion stars have no hydrogen, and
are made Of helium and nebula. They
often have great volumes of fine nehu-
la dust about them, showing that they
are still in the process of condensing
out Of the primitive star matter.

This is the most scientific war ever
fought. There is less dependence on
man power and more on machinery
than at any timelin the history of the
world, says the Popular Science
Monthly. We pin our faith to high ex-
plosives, poison gases, tear shells, gas
masks. liquid fire, etc, all of which
are applied chemistry, and to machine
guns, heavy artillery, automobiles, sub
marines, airplanes, and so forth,
which are very Nuch refined mechan-

their brains and obtained wonderful

UNCLE SANS NEEDS

More than ever before Uncle Sam

zenry this year for their financial as
sistance More than ever will it be
necessary to speedy winning Of the
war, the saving OF American lives,
and the insurance Of peace and con-
tinued liberties te the world at large.
Uncle Sam has a tremendous Job
ahead of him. He must needs ask I'M
usual sacrifices at the hands of the
people. And the people must respond.
"Of every IS earned in this country
this year $3.50 will be needed by the
United States government to pay its
war bill. and the government has got
to get IT," declared Lewis B. Franklin,
national director of the war loan or
ganization, few days ago in an adj
dress to Liberty Loan workers In
Cleveland
Mr.. Franklin had come from Wash
ington for the one purpose of making
this talk He had at his fingers ends
the latest plans of the government.
the latest estimates OF probable ex-
pense, a complete knowledge OF the
situation He spoke with authority.
Uncle Sam expects to spend $24, OOO,-
100000 this. year OF this amount
Liberty Bonds win produce $4,000
100000; Thrift Stamps $4,000, 000 600
and taxes $1,000 100000 1t is expect
ed that the productive capacity Of the
country will be somewhere IN the
neighborhood of $4,000, 100000.
So it will behoove everyone of us
to practice at least moderate econo-

lions seems a tremendous lot of mon
ey, but we can raise It. The American
public yet has to. fail to rise to the
occasion.
But it means that thousands who
have been lodging the bond counter
heretofore will have to waltz up and
lend their help. 1t means that YOU
and / will have to help round these
up.
Moreover that we will have to In.
crease oul own offerings.
Let's get ready to do both.

Money Must Be Had.

We must have the money to cnrry
on the war. II money does not come
to the government from the country's
present stock of money, ther It must
be created, for the war 4annot stop.
Additional money means imitation
and that means fall in the worth. in
the purchasing power of the dollar
So that every one who has an IN
come, salary or invested capital of
any kind, bonds, mortgages or other
obligations of state or city or railway.
should be vitality interested in practic-
ing thrift, and thereby maintaining
the value Of the purchasing power of
his own property.
But greatest argument OF all-the
spending of money now unnecessarily
Is shameless, even criminal.
Are we to feast while our sons and
brothers die over there and by our
very feasting put their success in
jeopardy
No ruler ever led people as efficient
ly to war as does our great president.
Back him up.

Prove Superiority to Hun.

The situation OF the world at the
present time says to civilized man
Prove that you are fitted to survive
the Hun; prove that you are superior
to the Hun prove that you are worthy
of being preserved. For a wasteful
use OF materials at the present time
Is crime against civilization. The
war cannot be won unless the nation
and the individual practice the most
exact thrift. If we as a race cannot
do this we are not fit to be the domi-
nant factors in the world. We can
and we will. The Hun and the state
of affairs brought about by him are a
challenge to our civilization. We ac-
cept the challenge and we will win the
victory.
We could not do less. Our own
countrymen and our brothers in arms
are living In the midst of the greatest
danger abroad. They are subsisting
only on the vitality necessary foods and
their general situation is lacking in
comforts. We will deprive ourselves
Of some Of our own abundant comfort
that they may have the necessities of
life. We must not prove ungrateful
for what they are doing for us. We
do not wish to live In an enervating
comfort while they are suffering and
giving their lives that we may survive.
There is for those who are rich or
semirich or who merely have money
and extravagant tastes another and
practical side.

WAR HAS TAUGHT
VALUE OF THRIFT
People Have Learned How
SenseIess and Unnecessary
Common Practices Are.
RETURN TO SIMPLE LIFE
Those Not Willing to Deprive Them
selves of Some cen'fortc migrate
full For What Boys over There"
Are Doing For Us.
BY JAMES w. GERARD,
Former Ambassador to Germany

FORMER AMBASSADOR TO Germany.
In the days before the war 1t often
seemed to me that the Immigrant who
came here with practically nothing
and who left an education and often a
competence to his children lived rs
all men should live. He worked hard
and well and saved his money I'll. n
as his circumstances permitfed he
placed his family In comfortable sur
roundings. Often he got hold of a
little piece of ground and raised part
of his food supply. Such men as these
told me often that American life pre-
sented very few difficulties to man
who wanted to become wealthy
through his own efforts.
OF course, these people did not have
the things that many OF their neigh
bors thought vitality necessary. There
was no show, no ostentation, nothing
merely to impress their associates and
neighbors And after all man. is a
simple being. His wants are few, once
he gets out Of an artificial point Of
view.
Return to Simple Living.
Since the war has come with It's ne
cessity Of curtailed expenditure many
persons and families are approaching
the state OF simple living. They are
being vastly benefited. A mental and
spiritual betterment comes with sim
pie living and thinking There is also
a great gain In resource No man
need ever fear That he will become mi
serly through the practice OF thrift.
Thrift simply means using the right
things for the right purpose and put
fing aside the surplus.
II the war has dors nothing else it
has at least taught to many persons
the value OF thrift The human mind
is prone to attach labels to things.
Because thing is done 1t is done
more and more. Once the individual
gives thought to life and living he
sees how senseless and unnecessary
are some OF the practices to which he
thought he was committed for the rest
Of his life. Too many people in Amer
tea are living beyond their means In
order to vie with some richer neigh
Dor. Why risk your ehildren's future
and education through silly imita-
tien induced by false pride?
To do anything well is fine train
ing for any man or woman The prac-
tice of thrift is only the utilizing In
the most scientific and exact WAYS of
an individuals resources. 1t is charac-
ter building and makes of man almost
the master of his destiny.

Tomorrow and next day are the
days set for the reported intent for

and attempts to injure and hamper
the government in it's war work.
An advice received today in Be-

at Fort Smelling for emergency Or

Some of the Fourth Minnesota in
