TIL RIFT A ND
CONSE v A ITO N

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year 1t Is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
of the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the order
of the day. This year the nation Is
being taught the lesson of spending
it's money wisely. The nation is being
shown the importance of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand The fact that the farmer is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur.
chased, harness, lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so we'll paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them.
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they. can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in it's great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern
ment is a practical protest against the
plans of greedy, INSCRIPTIONS, soul
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the Fee
There is an old saying that Mature
cures the doctor takes the fee," but
as everyone knows you can help
Nature very much and thereby enable
1t TO effect a cure 10 much less time
than is usually required. This is
particularly true of colds. Chamber
laln's Cough Remedy relieves the
lungs, liquities the tough mueus and
aids 10 its expectoTation, allays the
cough and aids Nature in restoring
the system to healthy condition.

SHALL WE SEE IT
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nee.
essary to call upon us three times
within year to provide by subscrip.

hitherto considered of fabulous pro.
portions. These facts should i'm.
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.

more serious aspects of life is apt to
breed indifference, and to distort our

Our money was needed when both

ever needed when the Third Loan

needs of our allies have grown. the
necessity of forever banishing the un

Now that we are actively in the wal

would seem that every woman in the

Each OF us has her part to play
however small 1t may be, and whether
1t be great or small 1t is of Importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost of her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others to buy. Perhaps
some can only help by conserving the

 Much of the argument in this case has ccntered around tho decision of the Supreme Court of Lochrer vs New York supra and Bunting vs Oregon, S7 Sup, Ct. Rep. 435. L. the former case the Supreme Court held that,
 Sec. 11O of the labor law of the State of New York providing that no employees shall be required or per mitted to work in bakeries more than sixty hours in a week, or ten hours a day, is not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the state, but an unreasonable, unnecessary and arbi- trary interference with the right and liberty O fthe individual 10 contract, in relation to labor and as such it is i'm conflict with, and- void under, the Federal Constitution"

 Tt must. of course be conceded that there is limit to the valid eXer- else of the police power of the State. There is no dispute concerning this general proposition. Otherwise the Fourteenth Amendment would have no

 The important question for determ- ination as raised by the demurrer is whether or not the Act of the Terri torial Legislature under which this complaint is brought is contrary to and in violation of the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. If by its enforcement it deprives any person of life, liberty or property, with out due process of law, or denies to any person within it's Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, is must be held to be unconstitutional.
