ROOSEVELT URGES EVERYONE
 TO JOIN UNCLE SAM'S TEAM

Theodore Roosevelt says: 'Let us put through the war-savings cam paign."
 In recent editorial he wrote:
 "Of course the primary factor in deciding this war is and will be the army. But there can be no great army in war today unless great nation stands back of it. The most important of all our needs is im- mensely to strengthen the fighting line at the front. But it can not be permanently strengthened unless the whole nation is organized back of the front. We need increased production by all. We need thrift and the avoid ance of extravaganza and of waste of money upon nonessentials by all. We need the investment of our money in government securities by all of us.
 "The government, through the war savings campaign, offers the oppor- tunity to every individual in the na- ton to join in great national move ment to secure these ends. This is the peoples war. The responsibility for the government rests on the people as whole. The army is the peoples army. It can be supported only if the people invest in the securities of the government, and this investment by the people should be as nearly uni versal as possible. All the men, all the women, and half the children of the land should be active members of Uncle Sam's team. The war savings campaign offers them the chance to be active members. This campaign means the encouragement of thrift and production. But it means much more than this. 1t also means to make our people realize their solidarity and mutual interdependence and to make them understand that the government Is really theirs. Therefore, it is movement to fuse all our different race stocks into one great unified na- tlonality. It is emphatically move ment for nationalism and patriotism. Let all of us join in this movement.

WHAT INDIVIDUAL SAVING
 DOES

The Railway Conductor, the official organ of the Order of Railway Con- ductors, says:
 individual saving will curtail the production of nonessentials and thus help the production of war necessities. We can not win the war unless we manufacture munitions and supplies in tremendous quantities. As one writer has put it, when we are threat ened with a flood and must build a dam to save ourselves we must drop other occupations for the time being and build the dam.
 "The world is threatened with Ger man atrocities. Therefore we must drop many of our usual avocations and work on the dam of guns, muni- tions and military supplies of all kinds. We must save as individuals and loan our money to the govern ment. We must also sell our labor to the government for the production of ships and other war necessities.
 "The money we save as individuals will not only help to furnish the gov ernment with money, but it will also help to furnish it with labor. It therefore becomes the patriotic duty of every wage earner, as we'll as every other person, to save as individuals and thus strengthen the hand Of the government and support those who are offering their lives that we may continue to be free"

DO WELL TO SPEND
Lecturer UphoIds Extravaganza
of the Wealthy.
Lavish Expenditure for luxuries
Means That the Prosperity of
the Country Is Assured, Is As
sertion He Makes.

because we are the most luxury
loving people on earth, we are also
the richest; therefore we have been
called upon to finance and to hight
to a finish this most eXtravagant OF
all wars, and we are able to do it,
said E. Leroy Pelletier speaking on
prosperity" at Detroit.
1--WE hear q lot nowadays to the
effect that we Americans are
wasteful and extravagant people.
And 1t is said by way of condemna-
ton, or at least of reproof. Yet
when the war had been precipitated
by the most frugal people on earth
except the more primitive races OF
savages-the eXtravagant nation was
asked to finance and to prosecute the
war to a successful finish.
I'VE expect to do this from the sur
plus left from our extravaganza. Yes!
And it is because of our extravaganza
that we have the money to do 1t.
''China has great resources. Why
are not the Chinese wealthy? Be
cause they have worn the same style
of clothes for a thousand years. and
have SubSiSted on one diet-plain rice
The Japanese tried the same form of
frugality for centuries and just man
aged to subsist. When they began to
copy American 'extravagances' they
became a world power.
1T doesn't matter that the $1,000
roadster Is a non-eSSential to the son
Of a rich man, or that the luxurious
limousine could be dispensed with by
the rich man himself-that doesn't
matter.
1.-THE point is, those luxuries. those
extravaganceS, those non-eSSentialS are
virtually essential to the millions Of
men and the families of the men whose
Jobs depend on the making of our
twentieth century vehicle.
1.-THE sewing machine. the phOno-
graph, the electric light, the piano, the
furniture; yes, the very schools where.
in the workmen's children are edu.
Gated, are the direct result of the crav-
ing on the part of the rich man for
those luxuries.
Here's to the wealthy man and TO

8vear Bssx pulp for Cattle.

The desert cattle ranchers Of Arr
xons and New Mexico have learned
that to raise cattle Is one business and
to fattsn them is another. For this
reason they ship their cattle to Cali
fornia, where sugar beet pulp Is OBJ
tanned in abundance. One factory IS
located near the fields where the beets
are grown. The cattle are turned into
this field after the beets are harvested.
Under the fence Is placed a trough
which projects outside Of the fence
just enough to allow the beet pulp to
be thrown into 1t from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory to
the field and follow the fences around
the corral. More space is thus oh
tanned for the beef cattle TO feed, and
there is but little waste Of fodder. In
these war days the cattlemen are
learning to conserve stock food, as the
cattle themselves are conserved for our
use-Popular Science Monthly.

Music a War Horror

A grim story is told of an air raid on
Paris. If its truth were not vouched
for by the most respectable authority
one would say that it was an invention
of De M:npaSS:int in his most macahre
vein. While the work of rescue was
going on by cHn,lle light in one of the
houses which had suffered most The
crowd was suddenly Mortified by the
defiant notes of the "RakOczy March,"
blared out apparently by a strong brass
band. Every one was aghast at SO
brutal an insult till the tenant of q
Nat on an upper floor said that he had
an orchestrion which played that par
ticular tune. The explosion must have
set 1t In motion. At the risk of their
lives some firemen managed to reach
the machine. but In the dark and not
knowing about lis mechanism, they
could not stop il. It went on till the
