Thrift and Economy.

The Council of National De-
Tense and the Advisory Commits
sion of the Council believe that
a concerted effort for economy
by the people of the nation will
not only go far toward paying
America expense in the war,
but will also reduce consumption
Of raw aud m tnufactured mater
ials essential to the conduct of
the war.
The Council urges all to re-
frain from unnecessary expendi-
lures of every kind, and to bear
constantly in mind that only one
thing is now of real impor ance,
and that is winning of the war.
The Nations resources in
n-power, mon Y, transporta-
tion, food stutfs, raw m terials
and fuel, have already been sub
ject to heavy strain, and it is
the clear duty of every citizen
guard against increasing by u
single wasteful act.
1t is most creditable for every.
one-man and woman, boy and
girl-to be economical in dress,
food and manner of living.
Every evidence of helpful self
denial on the part of all i'm a
time like this is most commend
able.
This war is more than con-
flict bet veen armies; it is a con
test in which every man, woman
and child can and should render
real assistance. Thrift and
economy are not only patriotic
privilege they are a duty.

humane enough to believe in
treating prisoners right, but
when it cones to hauling them
around in Pullman's, when our

the Germans just a little better

The names of nearly every
American family are now heard
IN France. Our boys are over
there, in the thickest of the fray,
and what is to their credit they
are giving good account of
themselves in every engagement
they have with their German en-
emies. The boastful Germans,
who first made light of American
aid, are now learning to dread it,
and the more they See of the
Americans the more anxious will
hey be to keep out of their way.
Our people did not want to get
into this war they preferred
peaceful pursuits at home but
since they are in it they are in
to count and to win.

This part of the country is
now beginning to feel the evil
effects of the war. The main
helpers on the farms are being
drafted into the army, and in the
cities and towns the clerks and
shopnen are being called out.
There are no people left to fill
their places, and a consequent
lack of production must follow.
The Monticellonian., 1918-06-14

After all of the cunningly in
vented devices of death and de-
struction that were ever conceiv-
ed of, it is nov given out by the
war lords that this war must be
won by the old way of fighting
in the open field with men and
rifles. Before the final decision
is made, the big armies must
come out of their trenches and
pit-holes and meet on the open
field. In this way the war will
be finally settled. The poison
Gus gas, the trench mortars and
big guns will only play minor
part. Man-power, with rife and
bayolet, will gain the day.
