War Industries Chairman Sends
Warning to Country.
SACRIFICES WILL COME SOON
Up to This Time Citizens of U
S. Have Lacked Nothing.
Comforts of Living Must b
Utilized in Drastic Way.

Washington, Aus. 9.-'The I'M
State must prepare for deprivatiu.
is the warning of Bernard Baruch
chairman of the war industries board.
and closer in touch with the effect the
war program will have on Industry
than any other man in the country.
up to this time no man nor woman
has lacked for anything because of
war conditions" he continued. He
will be otherwise in the future.
Just what the new war program
is to be we are not yet sure, but 1t
involves tremendous expansion over
anything we have considered up to
this time
THE increased size of the army
means a shortage of production. Mil
lions of men will be taken from pro-
ductive activities into the army Their
places cannot all be filled by skilled
workers, and there must be a period
during which the industrial substi-
tutes are learning their duties and ac-
quiring skill.
Then the demands of the military
establishment for supplies are increas-
ing even faster than its personnel. No
one has any idea of the increased de-
mand for military supplies unless he
can check up on the flow of requisi-
tions and estimates from the govern
men thru this department. And the
problem is not alone one of fuel and
steel, LOT CTundIlCo anu SHIPS, Out III

erything that man is accustomed to
utilize for his comfort and living.
Win the War, That's All.
"Civilian requirements and the nom
essential industries must yield to the
needs of the military establishment.
There is but one important thing be-
fore us-to win this war.
II should not hesitate to take any
thing any one might have for his own
advantage if the taking would benefit
the whole of society and help win the
war. Every mans life. is at the call
of the nation and so must be every
mans property.
I'VE are living today in a highly
organized state of socialism. The state
is all; individual is of Importance only
as he contributes to the welfare of the
state. His property is his only as the
state does not need it. He must hold
his life and his possessions at the call
of the state"

too much for him SO early in the
game.
The officers in command, upon re-
turning to camp, advised the medical
department to give Tyler an honorabl
discharge. He is too heavy" they
said. Tyler put up a howl that was
heard by the coyotes far out in the
foothills. Wasn't there something he
could do in the army besides hiking
over the sands?
So they kept him--and started him
peeling potatoes. He has been peel
ing potatoes for several weeks now. By
actual count 1,011.000 spuds have
passed thru his chubby fingers.
But he's still in the army--and

Brother of Topeka Lawyer Nominated
for Governor of Oklahoma.

Word was received in Topeka to-
day of the Republican nomination of
Horace Greeley McKeever for gov

standing in the state, has a chance to
win in the November election. The
