GOODS AND SERVICES
(By Dwight w. Morrow

We are going to find, as we get
further and further into this war, that
there is nothing magical about public
finance The government must be
supplied with money to pay for the
goods and services it needs. But the
only way the Government can get the
goods that it needs is by getting the
people to do without those goods and
services. When peace-trained ma
tion goes to war, that war is largely
fought with goods produced and serv-
ices rendered after it gets into the
war. What the government wants,
therefore, is not merely money, but
the goods and services that the money
can buy. What the government wants
from those men who go to France is
a service; what the government wants
from the man who works in a NUM-
tlons factory, of the man who works
in copper mine, of the man who runs
a railroad, is service.
Now, if the government needs not
merely money but goods and services
and II the needed goods and services
are limited in amount, obviously the
government is vitality interested in
having the people free as many goods
as possible in order that the govern
ment may command those goods and
services. There are only two ways in
which the government can get what it
needs to prosecute the war success
fully-that is, by greater production
and less consumption. AS Lord Kitch-

State FORGING AHEAD IN
WAR STAMP SALES

Charleston, April 23-An encourage
ing activity in the War Savings move
ment is being shown IN all parts of
the state and reports reaching the
State War Savings Committee show
that more people than ever are buy
ing and boosting the popular "baby"
been termed. Here are a few samples
Of the good work now being done:
John Sloan, a high school boy in
Spartanburg, sold War Savings and
Thrift Stamps to the value of 81 200
up to April S. John Maxwell, also of
Spartanburg, followed with sales
amounting to 81 l,070. The Oakland
Avenue School of Spartanburg sold
$6.7O2.l0. Altogether the schools of
SpartanOurg county have sold nearly
$25. 5000 worth of War Savings Stamps;
and if the adults Of the county had
done comparatively as we'll, Spartan
burg would now be leading the state
easily.
In the week ending April 18th the
First National Bank at Lancaster sold
War Savings and Thrift Stamps to
the value Of $2,75675. This bank has
pushed these stamps aggrcssively, and
so far has sold nearly $4,000 worth.
If all the banks in the state took such
an active interest in w. S. S., the
states showing would be much better
today.
At Garnett, IT. Hampton county, an
other 100 per cent school has been
found Every pupil in tn. scnoo owns
at least one War Savings or Thrift
Stamp.
The state Committee points out that
these splendid showings were all the
result OF serious work and that sim
Ilar results can be made wherever
genuine work is done.

RUSSIA'S FINANCIAL
TROUBLES ARE MANY
New Financial Minister'S Report
Paints Industrial Conditions in
Darkest COlors

Moscow, April 23.-M. Gukovsky
the new minister of finance, in report
ing to the central executive committee
OF the soldiers and workmen's delega-
tions tonight on the financial condi-
tlon of the country, said that the semi
yearly expenditures would amount to
40 900 100000 rubles. The income, the
new minister said, would amount to
about 3,300,000,000, with no other
sources and loans obtainable. He added
that before the war third of the
nations income was derived from the
vodka monopoly, which was abolished.
The railroads of the country, NJ. Gu
kovsky said, were carrying 70 per cent
less freight, while the operate, n for a
verst cost 100000 rubIes against H.
600 formerly: The wages of employ
es have been increased several hundred
per cent and the hours reduced, neccs-
stating three and even four shifts.
The new minister pictured industrial
conditions in the blackest colols, men
tioning the Sormoff Locomotive
Works, which turn out two locomo-
tivcs day instead of eighteen as for
merly, making the cost of one locomo-
tive 100000 rubles.
The new finance minister urged a
better administration scheme, greater
cooperation and the reduction of ex-
penscs by decreasing the number of
clerks, officials and officers.
M. Gukovsky's long speech was re-
ceived amid dead silence and it's con-
clusion was greeted by one solitary
hand clap.

Prominent Feature Of Modern Warfare

In the cuttlefish, which turks In the

Of camouflage Or deception is brought
into use to conceal the traps and con-

The most puzzling question which
comes to Christian people at a time
Of great sorrow is. Whyi There Is
little use In telling Us that we ought
not to ask 1t. 1t Is true we may not
be able to find full answer; yet
there is more answer than we find,
for most Of US look for It In the
wrong place. We look back to find
what precedes our experience to learn
the reason which God had in letting
us have it. The best reason for Gods
greatest deeds, so far as we know
them, lie after the deeds themselves.
Most of US will find the best answer
to our question by looking forward.
1t is not so much what has preceded
the sorrow as what shall follow 1t /;
not what the sorrow follows, but what
shall follow the sorrow.

Everybody MUST Save Eat.

Everybody must eat some fat In or
der to live. This Is the reason why the
shortage Of fat In Europe is so serious,
The United States can easily remedy
this shortage, for we as nation are
prOdigiOus fat-wasters. If each one Of
us ate only the fat we actually needed
and no more, there would be enough
left from our national fat supply, the
United States food administration tells
us, to tide our associates In the war
over this crisis.
SO let's begin today to avoid eating
more fat than we need. We Gun do
this by decreasing our usage of fried
foods and of butter in cooking. There
are plenty Of meat fats that may be
used for the latter just as well, which
otherwise might only fill our garbage
cans. There are also plenty Of dishes
besides friend ones that we can eat.
Don't think the little youwilleb able
to save in this why won't make any
difference. 1t will. Do your bit in
saving fat for a hungry world. IL will
count.-Detrolt Free Press.
