Still We Must Save

everlasting praise, but that part of
it is only the first act. Not only
thiscoming year, but every year until
the war ends and sorely stricken
world gets on its feet again must we
show the stuff we are made of by
giving until we have not enough for
ourselves unless we save and save
again. 1t is the least we can do. Our
fields are unacquainted with the
harvests that so much of Europe
knows, harvests that are like to
break the heart of the world, they
are so costly. In thankfulness for
what we have missed we should study
and contrive to supply our needs
with little, that we may have much
to spare We have not yet. the

COUNTRY SUPPORTING
EIGHT MILLION DOGS
Eight Million Dogs Consuming Food
Needed to Win The War-What
Has The Food Administration to
Say?

l have been reading lately with
much interest letters on the dog,
etc, versus the food situation, that
confronts the country.
l was literally appalled, to learn
that $500 licensed dogs are fed regu
larly in Baltimore county. Md, ev-
cry day, and those that are roaming
the country are destroying food.
There are % counties in Maryland.
If every county owns $500 dogs, that
means a State canine population of
172,5O0 dogs.
There are As States in the Union.
If each State owns 172,500 dogs,
the entire United States is feeding
over S,1S0,000 dogs, as Maryland is
one of the smallest States in the
Union.
The number of dogs is probably
much greater, and l am only counting
the licensed dogs. A dog eats loaf
of bread, or it's equivalent, every day
100000 loaves OF bread day to
dogs-when we are straining every
nerve to feed less than 100000
dear boys at the front. Feeding s.
10000 dogs-while Russians are
starving in the streets of Petrograd.
Won't some one take the binders
off the eyes of the Food Administra-
ton, and do it quick?
We are told that Germany killed
and ate her dogs some time ago.
We are not a dog-eating nation,
but the dogs will surely eat us if we
don't destroy them. That is prob
ably why Germany destroyed her
dogs.
This section of the Jersey coast has
airplanes and many and various ma
chimes of warfare with which we
wish to crush our enemy. Yet in
the midst of our daily life We are
harboring a domestic pest that may
be more deadly to us than our air
planes are to the Huns.

REDEEM YOUR WAR
SAVINGS PLEDGE NOW
Government Urges That Efsc-
tive Measures Be Taken
at Once

Steps will be taken at once for the
collection of all war. savings pledges
I'm Connecticut given on Pledge Re
demption Day last June, according
to announcement made by Howell
Cheney, war savings director for
Connecticut. Mr.. Cheney has been
directed by the Treasury Depart
ment through the Federal Reserve
Bank at Boston to take effective
measures at once to insure the ocm-
plete fulfillment of all pledges
which have been procured.
Mr.. Cheney has also been directed
to take every possible step to stimu-
late the sale of war savings stamps
The appeal received by Mr.. Cheney
from the Government reads in part
as follows:-
whatever the immediate out
come of the war may be, the Gov
eminent finances will require that
each community allotment of war
savings should be filled as far as
possible. 1t is the earnest wish that
New England, which has responded
81 pdIIlOIlCdlly W every war appear,
should not be surpassed by any other
district in its investments in war saw
ings. In order to accomplish this
every community should for the
balance of the year devote its ener-
gies to the utmost in systematic
saving and investing in Government
securities, of which the War Savings
stamps are an important division.
To this end state directors are re-
quested to continue and strengthen
organizations under their authority,
and to proceed immediate as follows:
First: to secure the fulfllment of
pledges.
Second: to obtain additional
pledges, placing emphasis upon pay
ment out of current earnings. This
should be accomplished by such
effective means as may be adopted
by State Directors as best suited to
their communities.
Third: to organize and to increase
the activities of war savings socie-
ties.
