NOT GATHERED BY SAVING

James Stilman, who died Friday at New York, was
rated as twelfth in the list Of the %country's richest men,
and his wealth was estimated at $100,O00,000. A recent
estimate placed the wealth of the entire country at $40,
OOO,O00,OO and based on this 1,400 men as wealthy as
Stillman would own the entire United States. The figure
1,400 is significant in another way, for if the total wealth
is as estimated, with a population of 100,O00,0OO the per
capita wealth would be $f,400. If this is correct then
Stillman's wealth represented that Of TAPS average per-
sons. Almost daily some one points out that all one has
to do to get rich is to save. Surprising this to be true,
then if all saved alike the most any one person could have
would be about $1,000. This would allow for the young
sters who have not yet begun to save. Divided equally
and all saving alike the sum would be $1,400. But as
wealth is not evenly divided to start on, it is self evident
that all cannot save alike. For instance, invested in
Government bonds the Stillman estate would earn $4,500,-
600 a year. With only one heir it will be seen the average
man cannot begin to compete with him in saving. In fact
the income from the Stillman estate would, invested In
Liberty loan bonds yield $12,329 daily, or about nine times
what the average man, if he maintained the average saw
ing, would gather in a lifetime. In order to permit the
accumulations of such fortunes as S%tillman's, or for that
matter and fortune, if it is made through saving, there
must be some persons, and many of them falling far be-
low the average. If there were no poor there could be'no
rich, for there would be nothing for them to accumulate.
The spendthrift, is one source from which wealth is
gathered, and the other is from that great mass of
toilers, who from their surroundings and circumstances
are unable to save anything. Speculation, not saving, is
the source of most of the really large fortunes of the
country.

Clementine Woodbine had never knit

So she knitted a necktie.
By the time she got to the Iast

knitting that she couldn't bear to stop
even for an instant.
So she enlarged the necktie into q
muffler to gladden. the heart and warm
the neck of some unknown soldier boy.

stop knitting even to prepare the meals,

the sweater into a blanket, had a ser

ARMIES PLAYING TAG

The situation on the western front is a peculiar one, in
that 1t is a case OF siege on both sides. The Allies have
the Teutons besieged in their trenches, and the Teutons
have the Allies doing the defensive with occasional sorties
from their own trenches. This condition has been in
evidence for nearly two years, and while there is talk of
if it will be made. The Prussians have nothing to gain by
attacking the Allied lines, for they could not hope to
break through any distance, and this could be attempted
only with tremendous loss of men. On the other hand
by standing pat and holding the Allies at bay where they
are, the Germans accomplish all they can hope for. The
situation is such that the Allies, will be forced to begin
the drive, and they can not better their condition unless
fore any material results will be secured on land, and it is
significant that the only enemy anywhere ON German
soil is the American, whose troops along the border of
Switzerland are ten or a dozen miles across the German
border and are on German soil. When the war can be
carried onto German territory and the devastation of it
be felt by Germans, the end will not be far away.

A committee appointed by Governor Stephens to CO.
operate with the council of defense of California in solv-
ing the labor problem reported recently, making some
recommendations that are eminently correct. Among
these were the closing of saloons in the agricultural dis
tricts during the war; mobilization of high school boys
and GIRLS, substitution of women for men for indoor work
and strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws. The strong
est recommendation was that of suppressing the |. w. w.

not win the war with them going abroad In our land with

1t is claimed Delaware capital stands ready to build
and equip the largest wooden ship building yards on the
coast at Portland, if the government will agree not to
commander its products but allow them to be turned over
ito private purchasers. It is claimed there is an abund-
ance Of money behind the scheme and that Portland can
be made a regular ship incubator if Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board will promise to keep hands off. If this
materializes Portland will perhaps be able to get along
without reaching out after every small industry started
