than such article is worth. The lezsl
seeming scarcity of an article :
taken advantage of-and that BY al
classes.
The great trouble is, we have corI-
fuesd two terms-thrift and greed.
Genuine thrift has the foundation d
production or saving. One must either
increase production or save waste in
order to practice thrift. The piling On
of extra costs to an article with every
conceivable pretext is not thrift-this
is greed, pure and simple, and as such
is the most contemplate kind of pro
fiteering.
Let's not let up on the big profteers,

eligibles between the ages of twenty
ore and fifty, why not make it go tC

less a majority of them would be ben.
emitted by the training and discipline
received. They need it and are not
getting it at home. But there are
many now in school striving to fiji
themselves for leadership-and our
country is going to need them might
lily after the war is over. If these are
taken now, the whole course of their
lives will be changed, their mental de-
velopment or training arrested and
their time and opportunity for fitting
for great achievement in making de-
mccracy safe for the world, taken
from them. We must prepare for this
after the war period, and to take these
boys out of school before they are
ready is like harvesting grain before
it natures, the folly of the act is dis
covered when it is too late to remedy
the wrong.

THE SUGAR CAMPAIGN.

The United States food administra-
ticn is now putting on campaign for
the conservation of sugar and quick ac-
ton is necessary if this campaign is to
be success. The success Of the ad-
illustrations program rests on the
HONOR AND COOPERATION OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. This
cooperation on the part Of the people
is what won in the flour campaign and
the success of that campaign literal
ly held the allies together through the
spring and summer. 1t did more than
any other one thing to govet hem COM
fort and courage until the tide turned
last month. It did more than any
ether performance of ours to establish
American credit until the splendid
part our troops took in the Marine
battle.
Again we are called upon to share
with those who sit at the common ia
bic. 1t is a challenge of war condi-
tions to our humanity, our chivalry and
cur worth. This time we are required
not to employ a substitute for neces-
sary food, but to give up an indulg-
ence. Would you make the sacrifice
for sick family next door instead Of
stricken neighbors across the sea? Of
course you would, and it's going to be
test of your TRUE AMERICAN
LOYALTY0as to whether or not you

OVERCOME THRIFT.

Have We heard too much talk of the
duty of thrift? 1t would almost seem
so. Not of legitimate, bona fide thrift
of the kind that makes two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before,
but of thes Furious brand that seeks
to transfer the dollar from your neigh
boris pocket to your own without ade-
quate compensation to the neighbor.
We have before said that high prices
is disease mania. High prices
is also convenient cloak for all sorts
of petty meanness and graft. 1t is
doubtful if the prevailing prices in
half the different lines of trade in this
country could be justified by war con.
ditions. Yet they exist, and not only
exist, but keep on climbing.
We have no sympathy whatever fol
the capitalist profteer who is caught
in his effort to mulch his government
and the public in these times. He de.
serves all he gets-and then some.
But the big fellows are not always
responsible for the present chaotic
condition of prices. The blame fol
these conditions often rests closer to
the people themselves. In many lines
the government has done much to
stabilize prices, yet there seem to be
many lines in which its efforts cannot
bring results.
There seems to be mania preva-
lent among all classes to get just a
little more for any article disposed Of

THEIR COLOSSAL BLUNDERs.

THEIR COLOSSAL BLUNDERS.
The Germans made the mistake, Of
Understanding their anniversaries in
| the war that they began for world con-
quest. They expected to overrun
France ir less time than they had done
in 1870 and before Great Britain
could get into the war. That was a
serious mistake that has cost them a
great deal, but worse blunder still
was their firm belief that the United
States as military factor would be
negligible. They didn't believe that
America could raise and train an army
and if Verchance a few American
soldiers were sent to France, it was
considered they would be undertrain-
ed and Of little fighting value.
Believing this, they thought they
would be safe in launching a U-boat
campaign that would prevent the
United States from sending food and
ammunition to the entente countries.
The German government is only
row awakened to the magnitude of
this blunder and the knowledge of it
has not yet penetrated to the German
people.
The Germans had supreme conf
dence in their great military estab-
lishment and didn't consider that they
would really encounter any opposition
except from France and Russia. They
gave credit to an opinion quite preva-
lent at the time of the Boer war that
the British had lost their military
quality, and they didn't believe that
any volunteer army could be trained to
stand against their own, the most COM
plete and in every way the most
formidable military establishment
ever known. But theit colossal
hlunder was their contempt Of
America. They believed what
they said, that we were money-get-
ting and money-worshipping people,
with no military spirit, and that even
should we have both the spirit and
the desire that we could not by any
possibility send an effective fighting
force to France. The blunder in re-
gard to Great Britain turned what they
believed would be six months war
INTO one Of years; that in respect to
America win be their undoing.-Nash-
lille Banner.

WAR INCREASES
CHILD DELINQUENCY.

Criminal statistics show a most
alarming increase in child delinquen-
cy in this country during the period
elapsing since our entry into the war.
In some sections the increase is re-
ported as high as 100 per cent, and in
all parts of the country it is plainly
noticeable.
What is the cause of this?
1t is found in the fact that in grap-
Fling with the great questions arising
from the world conflict we have-inad-
yertently, it is true-tended to lose
sight of an even weightier matter, the
welfare of our young people.
America can never afford to neg
lect her growing children. We are
today the proud nation we are, and
cur army "over there" is the wonder
Of our allied nations, because in the
years past the children have kept
front places in every scheme of Amer
lean life.
The day is forever past when the
child can be left to just "come up" and
amount to anything. With the increas-
ed complexity of life he demands in
creased attention if he is to escape the
multiplying pitfalls in his path.
We must look after our children.
Right now, when our schools are open
ing, we must see to it that our boys
end girls are given their chance. The
parent who allows his child to stay
cut of school now, if it is at all posi-
BILE for him to attend, is the worst kind
of a Stacker and should be treated as
such. The man who can send his child
to school and won't, must be forced to
send him. When this war is over, we
shall need educated men and women as
never before. Without them, we can
not hold our place as leader among ma
toms. ID ~, SC

Of selfshness. Deny yourself this in
