throttle it into state of coma simply because
someone has learned to parrot "nonessential"
Coed statesmen will tell US that it will be impos-
sibIe to float liberty loans and savings stamp
campaigns, if industry is continually hampered
Why should willing and Industrious workers be
thrown out of work and driven to other jobs, while
there are thousands of idlers left undisturbed to
cat and loaf at the expense of otherss
And speaking of loafers the average farming
community will give up more than its share of the
"sons of rest" Why not round them up together
with their brethren of the city and put them in
the fields?
1t might be well to remember that there are
very few nonessential industries in this country
Careful investigation will show the truth of this
statement. At any event it is reasonable to
assume this a fact until the loafers of the coun-
try have been modified and forced to work
Though comedians still joke about New Jersey
the antiloafing act of that State is far saner
method than the one proposed by Mr.. Ousley.

War strikes home in ways we know not how to
forecast
Middle Western city just learns, to its pain,
that during the coming summer its water supply
will be greatly curtailed for want of 10000
gallon pump which an Eastern factory had to
stop work on to attend to the crying needs of the
Shipping Board
Two old pumps must do the work three did
previously and if of these suffers a mishap
the water shortage will be exceedingly acute.

extending America, until now, the second year
of participation in the war, we find the folks
at home making numerous sacrifices to help out
brave the fighting line

And every sacrifice is a sacrifice for a cause that

The you make sacrifices for is the cause

for, if necessary.
This is the spirit State food administrators Of
the nation, under spur OF the nation body. have
been instilling into the people. 1t is the spirit
that has converted apathetic West into an ag-
gressive. responsive West 1t is the spirit that
has tied the people OF the nation together and
unified for the stupendous task ahead.
1t is the spirit that will bring victory spirit
that we hope is not found in the land of the
enemy.
America has not yet touched the hem of the
garment OF sacrifice. but it will begin to do so
ere long. All have gone through-most Of

to come.
Our trials are in the future, but will

The latest theorist along these lines is Assist

posal to shut down less essential industries for
period OF fifteen days in order to free labor to the

Freeing labor TO the farms is admirable pur-

justified in going after labor But has Mr. Ousley
considered just what he by nonesscntial in

the industry is nonesSental will the workers in
that industry be of much TO the farmers? And

DOING GOOD TO OTHERS.

Mary Il. wilkins once wrots q story
about two old ladies that lived. close
to starvation. In an old, ranishackie
houpe. Some vell-Ineaning people had
them taken 10 an institution where
they could be properly taken care Of.
But they could not endure the place
and they finally ran away and re-
turned TO the old home.
IL was a simple enough story. But
behind II there was the understanding
OF human character that made II sig
nifcant and illuminating. Incidental
ly, IL pointed a moral for those inter
ferers who, often with the finest iE-
tentions In the world. try 20 persuade
others to do. not what the others con-
slider best for themselves. but wnat
they consider best for the others.
There Is an extremely generous
woman OF my acquaintance who
spends a large part OF her life doing
services for those in trouble. Often
she meets ingratitude and resentment,
greatly 10 her own bewilderment She
is fond Of saying that she can't un-
derstand how people can be so lacking
in appreciation. She thinks IL IL her
kindness that is rebuffed. But II real
ly Is her habit OF trying to control
those she helps. making them pay
for what they receive by giving her
their freedom.
Once when a hint 10 this effect was
given her by a friend she exclaimed
Indignantly: But what / tell them
to do is for their own good. I don't
gain anything by it"
She was probably mistaken here.
She gained the satisfaction Of trying
TO make those people follow out her
will. a kind OF Indulgence. flatteItng
10 self-confdence and self-esteem.
A great many people who do good 10
