 philanthropies. When Henry F. Dawson
 was asked to accept the leadership of the
 Red Cross organization and, having ac-
 cepted went to Washington. he was told
 that S10,000,000 Were needed. His instaxt
 reply was that ten times ten million were needed and that the money could be se-
 cured within month, although the coun-
 try was about to subscribe to the govern
 ment loan of S2,0o0.000,000. Mir, Dayison speedily created, with various Red Cross societies as units, an organization which
 for symmetry and for perfected adapta- bility to it's purpose has never been ex-
 celled, although it was equalled by the organization which a few months later his former associate in the house of J. P Morgan & Co.,, George w. Perkins, perfected within a few days. Mir. Davi- sons organization secured the $10o.000o GOO
 within four weeks. A day or two ago word was received from Washington that nearly all of this money has been paid in and detailed accounts of the appro- priations from it have been published.
 Mir. Perkins was appealed to in the clos ing days of the second liberty loan. He, like MT. Davison. decided that the amount it was thought expedient to se- cure was much too small. Both of these leaders by native power of skilled or ganiza ton and by reason of the splendid training which they received in the house of J. P.

Perkins Work for
 the Next Campaign
Fly HOLLAND

New York February 1S.-(Special.)-A few hours before George w. Perkins took
 the train at New York for St. Louis for the purpose of attending the meeting of the republican national committee. he was told that it would be practically useless to him to make the journey, since the election of John T. Adams of Iowa as chairman of the republican committed was absolutely sewed up
 Mir Perkins. however, did not accept
 that view, principally because he believes that it is vital that in the political cam. paign of next fall for the choice of the members of the next Congress there should be single issue and one clear and well defined boundary line upon one side
 of which will stand the massed demo- cratic party and upon the other an equally well massed republican party. The issue is not to be the support of the administration or antagonism to it in maintaining the war. For if that were to be the issue and a pacifist organiza- tion representing so-ealled pacifist prin- cples were to enter the campaign 1t would be showed under. The real pur- pose of the republican leaders in Mir Perkins view should be the elimination of the factional divisions which have prevailed more or less since 1910. He was sure that it would be the more easy to accomplish this if Mir Adams were not elected chairman, although he had l no candidate of his own to recommend 1 to the republican committee.
 Word has reached New York from St Louis that after MT. Adams withdrew and Will II. Hayes of Indiana was l elected chairman unanimously, many O

GREEN GOGGLES
By W. H. J. TAYLOR, President of the Retail Credit Mems
 National AzSocfaffOn.


 There is an old story of the stingy farmer who conceived the idea of feeding his horse shavings. He mixed some with the animals food, then purchased pair of green gog- gles for the horse. Just as the ex- pertinent seemed to be a success. the horse died.
 You cannot keep business alive on savings any more than you can keep a horse alive by feeding him shavings.
 You can cut out waste without in viting want
 Business must have enough to live on, and more. It must not only have strength, but reserve power, especially in war time. So feed it well.
 Business feeds on the circulation of money. Slow down the flow of funds and business is weak. Spend ing wisely is as important as saw ing. for your own business as well as for the other fellows.
 We can do without super-luXu ries. There are many things we can use with more economy. Food, fuel, wool and all things war needs most we can give to war first. We have turned to wars service the time of many men. But we can do all this and still keep business going stron- ger than ever. There is happy medium between profligacy and parsimony. We can save without scrimping, we can be thrifty and keep spending. Every dollar we'll spent makes a profit that feeds others. Every dol- lar well earned pays profit from which to feed Dollars kept in cir culation get food and clothing and the many wants of daily life. Each is a custodian of the happi- | ness of others ns well as himself. | We have, each of us. share in the l country's welfare as we'll as our l own, we each are responsible for l the country's business as well as | our own.
 | So let each see that he does his | share well. | Do not let us confuse savings l with shavings. 1 Keep the good old steed of busi- | ness strong.
 Do not try to fool him with green
 goggles.
