APPEAL FOR THRIFT
President Asks Citizens to Buy
Only Essentials.
SYSTEMATIC SAVING URGED
People Requested to Pledge by Juns
% to Invest in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, or Other Government
Securities.

Washington, d. C.-To save mate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans ito buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day. to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
This war is one Of nations-not of
armies" said the president. land all
of our 1OO,0O0,O0O people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions If this nation is t.
play Its full part In the conflict.
Pledge ls Sought.
The problem before us Is not pri-
marily financial problem, but rather
q problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment Of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi.
ture Of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men. the products of
the farm, mines, and factories. and
overburdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
'The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in national
thrift movement. ! therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury. to the practice Of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
Of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them,
within the reach Of every one that the
door Of opportunity in this matter is
wsde open to all of US.
II appeal 60 all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
to continue to practice economy aid
4Arift and to appeal to all who do mol
own SOvsznment securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
| Of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy In competition with the gov.
eminent.
II earnestly appeal to every man
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities Of the government.
''The 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment In the great vol
unteer army of production and saving
here at home. May there be none IN
enlisted on that day."

STEER WITH MAXIMUM EASE
Important That Front Wheels Be
Aligned ProperIy-lt Prevents Ex-
cessive Tire Wear.

The steering gear, properly speak
ing, is the mechanism at the lower
end of the steering post, and the diff.
ferent types take their name from
the forms of gears used in them.
To begin with, it is important that
the front wheels shall be aligned prop
erly, If the car is to steer with maxi.
mum ease. Improper alignment re-
suits not only in hindering the steer
ing of the car, but in excessive tire
wear,

FOR REPLACING TIRE TUBES
Essential That Liberal Use Be Made
of Tale or French Chalk by U.s.
ing Small Blower.

When replacing tire tubes 1t is es-
sential that tale or French chalk
should be thoroughly distributed over
the inside casing. This operation Is
greatly facilitated by the use of a
small blower, such as is used for
spraying insect powders. A blower of
this kind may be obtained in any
drug store and its use results in the
tale being evenly distributed all
over the inside Of the casing. very
important matter.

Washington, June 3.-Sweden is

Peter Rice is well-known to all
school boys-even of this generation.
He is still an important parsonage.
The reader will note that he ate fish
the record doesn't say that he
caught them. In this respect he is
like Mayor House and others whose
names have appeared recently IN the
local happenings of both Topeka pa
pers, as eating fish. 1t does not ap-
pear that they caught any. altho they
went $50 miles to the fishing grounds.
1t is in evidence, however, that they,
like Peter, eat fish. They are caught
by others; probably by one MulIin who
has a market on Eighth street. Peter
was an expert, however. in catching
other things. 1t is stated that he
caught eels-slippery business. Hence
the preface.
Jerome Fassler, Armin's older
brother, who was playmate of mine,
used to work this preface problem
backwards and here is the way he put
it, startling tho ungrammatical:
