On Knitting

The following article was sent
in by Mrs. Katherine ?. Wright
at the request of committee in
terested in knitting for soldiers:
TO knit is a facinating sort of
work. 1t is pleasant to sit and
knit and dream, it is also quite
necessary to furnish warmth for
the soldiers, but is that all? Are
we lulling our conscience by knit
ting. when we should knit only as
a side issue, or possibly see to it
that persons unable to get out are
kept suppliedg
Don't forget the tremendous
Importance of surgical dressings
and hospital supplies. Don't for
get that dozens and dozens of pads
are used on one wounded man.
Don't forget that when dressings
are lacking on the front, straw,
mud. bandages from which blood is
squeezed, are used over and over.
Don't forget that hospitals are in
need of endless quantities of pa
jamas, bed shirts, sheets, dressing
gowns, etc. Don't forget that
dietetic kitchens are in need of
supplies.
Don't think because you are
knitting you are doing your full
share.
Give over every ounce of your
being, every hour of your time, to
war service. Whatever your oc-
cupation, do it with that idea in
mind. Give the answering ser
vice that the soldiers in the
trenches give.
''Play-time is Of the past. Ser
vice, service, ever service, is the
slogan.
The following conversation was
overheard in a street car: One
woman, whose whole time is given
to service, was knitting in the car.
The second, a Stacker. addressed
her in this wise: / have not
learned to knit, it makes me ner-

THE SAVING HABIT

Few of US appreciate how great
a part habit plays in our lives.
We fall into habit unconsciously.
1t grows without our approaching
it. And the first thing we know
it has fastened itself upon US like a
leach. Not until we try to break
it do we know just how much we
have become a slave to it.
Unfortunately most of our hab-
its are not beneficial. Somehow
or other it is not human nature to
acquire good habits. Somewhere
along the line most good habits en-
tail personal sacrifice, and the
average mortal is not long on de-
nying himself any of the joys of
life.
So it is with the habit of saving.
Most of us put it off from day to
day, from week to month, from
month to year. Few of US eyer
reach the point where we may be
charged with being a slave to it.
IT is only where we obllgate our
selves, where it becomes matter
of duty, that we really buckle
down conscientiously and make
good. Even then but few of US
ever get the right habit
Through the liberty bond issue
more of US will eventually obtain
Diplomas from the school of thrift
taan ever before. The savings
stamps and the savings certificates
also will help. And bond issues
vet to come may keep us in line.
Already something like twelve mil
lions of us are saving on liberty
bonds.
If the war serves to give us the
saving habit, and makes America
a nation of thrift, where formerly
extravaganza ran amuck. it will
have served a purpose not usually
classed among the ambitions of
armed conflict. -Ex.

WHAT ARE YOU WORTH

Every man in this country to-
day is a liability or he is an asset.
There are but two sides to the
ledger, and man is but an item in
the system of bookkeeping, and if
he is not a credit then he is a debit.
There is no middle ground. He
must be charged to one side or the
other.
He is serving his country, or he
is charge upon the resources of
his country.
The trouble is not with what we
are spending; it is in what we are
doing.
The man who works and saves
and boards is not helping the
country to meet its obligations.
The man who is helping is the one
that works and earns and spends.
There will be no financial crisis
in the country as long as the peo-
pie buy the things they desire, and
the things they need.
The government is financed out
of the taxes that are collected now,
or that will be collected hereafter.
A prohtless business yields moth
ing to its owners, and nothing to
the government. The larger the
volume of business, the larger the
governments income from that
source.
The idea of the government Of
ficials is not to interfere with bus
mess, but to promote it. When
business stops, everything stops.
The system of taxation>has been SO
arranged that it will permit bust
ness to proceed without Interrupt
ton, and still yield an income to
the federal government. Mem

THE TRAVELLER

We are pilgrims on life's short
road, exploring the sunshine and
the storm, sometimes by green
fields where the way is level and
hopes bright star is ascendant;
and sometimes up the ragged paths
of disappointment and through
the swollen streams of discourage
ment. Through all these expert
ences from the cradle to the grave,
and in all men, the human heart is
the same. 1t loves, it cries out
for friendship and reaches its arms
to hope. 1t grows heavy with
care and burns beneath the thrust
of wrong. 1t bows to discourage
ment and responds to encourage
ment. He who touches it to ac-
ton, who banishes its distrust or
sorrow, or who fills the other fell
low with new courage, greater
hope and a nobler inspiration, and
who in any way brightens but a
single day, carries more riches to
the other shore than a millionaire
leaves here. The Observer.

TEAM WORK NEEDED

Huntingdon needs some team
work in the interest of the town.
Harmonious cooperation work is
essential to the growth and pros
perity of the town. This is not
written in the spirit of criticism
or fault-fnding. We are all NOV
ing along in an easy, don't care
method, when we should be live,
wide-awake and active, taking adj.
vantage Of every opportunity to
better our condition as a town and
community.
We should look about us and If
we see the need of work of any
kind, instead Of trying to place the
plane on someone else, We should
ask ourselves this simple question,
are we doing what we should for
the betterment OF conditions9" If
each citizen in Huntingdon should
answer this question as he should,
and then act upon what his good
Judgment dictates that he should
do, we would soon see better con-
ditions in many respects.
Local civic pride is worth some
thing in a town. Team work will
bring results. The public utilities
that Huntingdon now possess were
the result of team work. Some
of these utilities are needing at
tention, and it will take team work
upon the part of all our people to
bring about the best results. We
should, sometime within the next
month or so, organize a CONNER
cial club and get busy for spring
work. Why not, as a town, do
something this year that will bet
ter local conditions and place Hunt
ingdon again on the map as live,
wide-awake, prosperous town.
Team work, executed in the
right spirit and with the proper
ain will accomplish great results,
and will make US proud of our
town and proud Of ourselves.

URGE BETTER SALARIES

w. S. Sheriff., state superinten-
dent of public instruction, has
sent out a warning that efficiency
among school teachers can only be
maintained through increased sal
aries. Every year, according to
his statement, we have a shortage
of qualified teachers, and that we
may expect next year the shortage
to be far in excess of what it has
ever been before. Two causes are
given for this. The large number
of teachers that have enlisted in
military service, and the increased
cost of living will cause teachers
to seek more lucrative positions.
His appeal closes with the follow
ing:
My advice is, employ your
teachers early, pay such salaries
as will give you efficient teachers;
insist that your teachers who do
not hold certificates, take the
March examination, and run your
schools next year at the time when
the largest number of children can
and will attend. Ii you use coal
in your schools keep in mind that
the government authorities say
that if the war continues the coal
shortage will be more serious next
year than it is this.
We must not let the war lower
the standard or lessen the efficiency
of our schools. While it is wise
to prepare for war in time of
peace, it is our duty as school peo-
pie to prepare for peace in time
Of war. Our boys and girls 10
school must be prepared to main
tain the democratic form of gov
ernment that so many are now
lying to preserve. "
