privileged to remain in free America
IN physical safety, count it a free
mans duty to eat simple food and con-
serve for our army and our allies; to
wear simple clothes, to avoid unneces-
sary or unwise expenditures, that we
may give to our fighting men, the
government, and have resources for
the constructive work of the coun-
try.
This does not mean foolish penury
or asceticism, but constructive, intel
ligent expenditure and saving-the es-
tablIshment of habits of rational ex-
penditure of money SO as to accom-
plish purpose and to get the greatest
returns from the expenditure.
There are still many to whom this
world cataclysm has SO little meaning
that they are still pursuing luxuries
and self-indulgence.
If worthy of citizenship in free
| country, no man or woman will dissi-
pate our man power and economic re-
sources thru purchases of things to
merely crafty tastes or appearances,
or what Prof. Veblen has so fittingly
termed conspicuous waste" which
gratifies desire to demonstrate abil-
ity to live extravagantly.
This applies to all groups in So
ciety. All purchases should be gov
erned by this one dominating thought,
will they in any manner retard the
winning of the war. Let us SO direct
the current of economic life as to per-
init no usage of man power, materials
or finances upon interests that do not
contribute directly to winning the war
INCLUDING the maintenance Of civil
ian life.
Workers of America, you have more
at stake than any other group. It is
fitting that you take your part in
economy to win the war.
Organize for constructive saving
saving for the cause of democracy
and human equity. Make plain liv-
ing, plain dressing and practical pa
triotism the outward manifestation Of
your patriotism and willingness to
give service to the cause which has
been the highest ideal Of freemen Of
all ages.

BOY WHO WON'T COME BACK

The neighbors wonder what to say
To comfort her thruout the day.
The women stand about and sigh
And stroke her hair and softly cry
And speak in tender tones and low
Of him who was so proud to go.
They see her at the window pane
And know her watching's all in vain.
In vain for him she long will yearn;
Her soldier boy will not return.
The news has come that he lies dead
And sleeps in Freedoms valley red.
His mother treasures now a note
That unto her his captain wrote:
Dear little lady," it began,
"Your son departed as man.
He volunteered for duty grim,
Knowing that death awaited him,
And said, before that night attack,
Tell mother that l won't be back
"And now write to let you know
We live because he dared to go.
l think you would have thrilled with
pride,
Had you been here the hour he died.
What man. asked, tonight will die
To keep Old Glory in the sky?'
And he was first to leave the line
And answer: Let the task be mine
From what he said of you, know
You would have wanted him to CO."
When peace returns with victory sweet
He will not march along the street
Nor share the laughter and the cheers
Nor see the mothers grateful tears.
But he will be among the throng
Who went to save the world from
wrong,
Who, smiling, paid the bitter price
In service and in sacrifice.
And whispered, in deaths presence
black:
"Tell mother that / won't be back"
Edgar A. Guest.

MUST MAKE INCREASED SACRIFICES


AS it has become increasingly plain
to all that our nation has entered upon
struggle that will test every re-
source, we have been studying how to
concentrate our energies on essentials
and avoid frittering them away upon
the unnecessary. Different govern
mental agencies have endeavored to
solve the problem-what are essential
war industries? The problem is very
closely akin to that which perplexes
neutrals-what are munitions of war /?
1t is evident that no fixed lines of
discrimination could be defined with
out injurious effects. A constructive
method of achieving the same result
is for each individual to so order his
personal affairs and purchases as to
set in action compelling drift in the
economic world toward only the neces-
saries-the reaction will release man
power, materials, finances for war
needs.
Our republic, our people are at war
The institutions and ideals of free
government are at stake. Every man
woman and child owes service. Some
must serve at the front-in places OF
greatest danger. Those who remain
at home where duty entails less per-
sonal danger, have work just as es-
sential. We must work in war indus
tries, contribute to their organization
or help assure them opportunity and
resources.
The intricate organization of society
and the lives of our people must be
directed in furtherance of our para
mount duty-winning the war. This
must determine every personal de-
cision and expenditure of money with
a conscience mindful of the duty to
those on the firing line.
Let us all make our lives simple,
wholesome, vigorous.
We can forego luxuries for time,
be content with the primary neces-
saries of life, in order to save for the
future our heritage Of freedom and
the things of the spirit.
During the time when we send our
young men to the trenches, to live a
life that grills flesh and nerve, let
every man, woman and child who is

Republican A, p. Leased Wire1

DENVER, Jan. 22.-senator Key Pittman of Nevada, speaking Tuesday to the American Mining congress here declared congress has no intention of extending the leasing system 10 metalliferous mining, and if the Putnam Walsh oil and coal land leasing bill becomes a law, the leas- Ing question as far as the west is concerned. would be settled for years 2 "On the contrary the Nevada sen- ator added, If the pending legisla- l,ion which has already passed the Senate is defeated and the matter ssrifts on as it has drifted for years. Then it is possible that congress in desperation and in need of resources 'may take hold of all of the lands, metalliferous and non- -metalliferous, md develop them as government products. This is not drifting to- wards the leasing of metalliferous mines, but it is the final destination of policy against the leasing of metalliferous mines."
 Senator Pittman said the oil leas- ing bill represents the maximum of what can be expected from the sen- ate and admitted hard fight would be necessary to pass 1t in the house. He said citizens of western states maintained that the public lands and all they contain are held in trust and nave always been held in trust for the people of the states. Instead of belief in this principle becoming stronger in congress, Senator Pitt man declared it has received less support from year to year and now at least a majority in the senate op- pose the theory and maintain that the public lands and the minerals and wealth therein contained are the nrnnertv nf all tho penna of the

The insistence by enthusiasts and those having per sonal interests to impose upon a bill an amendment that is obnoxious to the majority is the surest method of defeating legislation" Senator Pittman said. "The oil leasing bill,T he said, was passed by the senate despite efforts of opponents who used nefarious means of defeating it"
 These propagandists, who had ample money to purchase the ex- pensive pages of great daily papers, attempted" he said, ito play upon the prejudice and fears of senators by declaring the bill to be drawn in the interest of the Standard Oil company. The gentlemen who signed these statements had every oppor- tunity to appear before the public lands committees and give such facts as they possessed. They did not come They did not represent the independent oil operators of Wyom- ing whom they would have liked to have had the senate believe that they did represent On the contrary, they represented a subsidiary cor poration of the Royal Dutch Shell company, as powerful monopoly as the Standard Oil company, and a corporation that is permanently con- trolled by foreign capital.

SCRAP BOOKS ARE
 LIKED BY SOLDIERS
New York Heraldl

Among the most welcome gifts to the military hospitals in England and France are the scrap books or pasted picture books which are made es- pecially for the entertainment of men who are too weak to enjoy reading very much. It is said MT. .Rudyard Kipling was the first person to think of these books, which he felt would be most desirable for the men who had been suffering from wounds or fever. Whether that English author intro duced the picture scrap book or it first came into use through some other friend of the suffering soldiers, it has long since taken it's place side by side with other books and the games which the men can play while in bed, as a most welcome contribution to any military hospital.
 Americans who wish to prepare such books for Uer own military hospitals may be glad to follow the method of

Phoenix Kiwanis club was launched during the month of March, last year. when an official organizer, MT. West colt, from the international, came to Phoenix to undertake the work The club was formed with a membership of about 100. which has since grown to about 125.
 Every week, with the exception of Christmas and New Years just passed, luncheons have been given by the club. Carrying out its purpose of listening to an address from at least one business man each week, the several lines of business represented have been intelligently presented by members who were given the chance to talk about their own work.
 The rule of the club,> which states that not more than two men from any particular kind of business be represented has been adhered to by the club.
 Phoenix Kiwanis club is steadily growing and bids fair to continue its prosperous progressiveness in the future.

making them recommended by MT Theodore w. Koch, chief of the order division of the library of congress. MT. Koch has seen the scrap books which are circulated in the English military hospitals and observed the pleasure which they give to the men who are still too ill to read much.
 The scrap books are full, but not crowded with pictures. They are made on sheets forty-three by twenty-seven inches, folded three times and form a book of sixteen pages, convenient in size. The book is tied together at the back by a bright colored ribbon. The cover picture of the book is colored and the books contain pictures both black and colored, little antedotes.
