STICK TO YOUR TOWN AND JOB.

Stick to your town and stick your job is be- coming war maxim, and it is sound business for the individual. In these days of conservation time spent in travelling is time wasted, and too much time is being wasted that way. Not only is it waste of time, but it nterferes with transportation cond tons.
 And the individual who sticks his town and his job is the who is playing safe. He is the one barring the long shot in the law of chances, who will certainly win in the end. This war will end quickly one of these days, and there will immediate y begin the greatest readjustment the world has ever witnessed. There will be many millions of peo- pie who will have to change their vacations and do it quickly. Men in the armies and navies and en- gagged in making munitions and other materials will have to find work elsewhere. The with a home and job will then be the lucky When the rush of the unemployed men and unemployed capital come for work and employment, the with a job business will be fortunate.

It is proposed to make something that will impress upon future generations the magni- tude of the service rendered France when she was sorey threatened and severely tried It is also sug gested that exact replica of the monument be set up in Washington City, city of historical monu- mens and statutes.
