when the drive started March 2l.
The stern resistance of the allies is

ammunition on a much greater scale

! to the stage possibly where the need of
conservation is felt already. The short
age in Germany of nickel and other
metal used in making high grade steels

SUGGESTIONS FOR INCREAS---
ING SUGAR AND SIRUP
Home Production

Last year, the average per capita
consumption of sugar in the United
Stotes was about IS pounds. or an
amount equal to more than half the
average weight of an adult person.
Sugar as food produces heat and
energy 1t is therefore an important
fsoi for everybody, particularly so for
those whose work requires physical
exertion. and most of all for the sold
Ter who must withstand the fatigue
sf long marches and battles.
a reduction of more than 100000
tons in the annual production Of sug
ar has resulted from the destruction
Of the beet sugar mills in Europe, thus
making it doubiy important that the
United States produce and conserve
every pound Of sugar possible.
Farmers can assist in relieving the
sugar situation by using less sweets
# all kinds, by substituting sirups,
honey and other things fo- sug. r, am.
bv increasing the production of honey,
rnaple sugar and sirup, and sugar
beets. sorghum and other sirurs, that
nay be produced or manufactured on
the farm.

is quite all right that the people of
America today should have their lives
devoted to the question of thrift. The

provider is necessarily better Chris

AGAINST RUTHLESS ECONOMY

Borrowing for his topic the theat-
rical caption "Follies of 1917" Levy
Mayer, counsel for many of the larg-
est business houses of the country,
recently addressed members of the
Chicago Association of Commerce al
luncheon in the Hotel Morrison. He
declared there were many "follies,
but few that go lover the top" will
illustrate all.
Mr. Mayer said that first among
these is the agitation by certain speak
ers and officials of what they miscall
''thrift." He declared some of their
arguments were remarkable and if
not Immediately met will lead to ser
ious consequences. Some of the
"isms" are termed "hoarding," "econ-
ony," and other industrial mobiliza-
ton" He asserted that while a
strong line should be drawn brtwee-
Indispensable" and dispensables. y
Essentials" and "nonessentials," zeal
must not lead to make of them doc
trines. He said no one in his senses
but that we must call halt when it
comes to advocatinc economy to de
gree that will bring industrial dias-
ter
The speaker asserted that the fet-
ish against so called "hoarding" has
been so strongly pressed that it has
brought suffering and want in indus
trial centers of The country, while it
1T estimated that nearly 100000
wage earners are engaged in the pro-
luction and handling of nonessentials.
He declared that to say that their in
dustries shall be wiped out would be
10 argue for economic havoc and COM
nercial and social destruction.
''If we find it necessary to establish
ruthless economy in order to sell
thrift stamps we shall find the ma
chinery of society will stop running
and we shall have no revenue or in.

.'HE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appea! now to all of US.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favoritc brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home.
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. Its toasted" was the sic
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is

duction is making its way across the

BALANCE on RIGHT SIDE

Tax payers Of Colorado who have
been led TO to believe that the state

pleasant surprise when the Year
Book now in course of preparation by
the State Board of Immigration is
completed and given to the public, for
among other thiEgs it will show that
the balance sht et Of assets and liabil-
tiles Of the state leaves a net balance
on the right side of the ledger amount
ing to $l43,197,433.29.
For the purpose of securing the da-
ia necessary for such a statement,
practically every Department of the
state was consulted and all Colorado s
assets and liabilities were included.
The assets include all lands and built-
ings owned by the state Except state

such increases during the past two
years as have been reported by State
