YOUR COLD CASH.

Thrift. thrift, Horatio! The funeral
baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage
table"
Thus Hamlet with bitter mockery
explained the unseemly proximity of
his mothers wedding to his fathers
funeral. A food-saving editorial might
easily be made out of this classic quo
tation. What we are concerned with,
however. is the Thrift Stamp cam
paign. TO which Friend Hamlet's words
easily apply.
We might compare our Thrift Stamp
money to the leftover funds from the
Third Liberty Loan subscription Not
that that was any funeral! But few
of us used up all our resources for
it. We have odds and ends left that
might just as well be put on the
Thrift Stamp platter.
After the big war bond purchases,
we shall never miss these fragments
They will make up a staggering total,
if everybody practises the system. and
celebrates National Thrift Day, June
2S, by putting his spare cash on the
table, instead of spending it frivolous
ly and letting it so to the economic
garbage can.

one more refused to adopt a cloture
rule. The proposal to limit speeches
to an hour and half has been pro-
nounced an insidious attack on its lib
critics, and ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
The proposed rule would still al
low the Senate to talk for more than
a month without interruption on any
given measure. That, however is not
enough, The Senators will have no
time limit short of the Judgment
Day Thus the last free forum" as
one Senator passionately phrased it,
is preserved in all its glory.
And yet surely a statesman could
express his opinion on any public
measure in an hour and a half of I'M

altogether. Suppose an editor insist

Plans for an intensive campaign to
bring about. by voluntary action of
the people if possible. and by compul-
sorry measures if necessary. conserva-
ton of commodities other than food
are being considered by the Admins
tration
There are suggestions, for instance.
that the use of electricity and gas for
lighting in homes as well as in hotels,
especially in the large communities,
such as New York, could be reduced
by one-third or even one-half in many
instances without working a severe
hardship. Such a measure, it is felt,
could be carried out by voluntary
agreement or by compulsion, if it was
sound that official requests were not
being generally observed. Electricity
saved could be used for power pur>

demonstration agents and leaders in

the nation to can and to do a good job
of it. In addition to this number many
thousands of volunteer leaders are
working with the extension forces of

put up S50,O0O0Oo quarts, it is esti-
mated.
Sufficient sugar will be available
this summer for home canning, &C
cording to the United States Food Ad-

made is for a signed statement that
the amount purchased is TO be used
for that purpose. Local regulations
governing the maximum amount of
sugar for canning allowed to individ-

textiles most lavishly used before the

II viii be at lease seven years after
the war, we are told, before the Bel
gian fields can yield the grade of flax
which they did before the Huns in
vasion. A man from a wholesale dry
goods house was recently heard to
say that as the Germans ruined the
fruit trees. so they shot salt and other
chemicals into the fax fields, with the
result that it will take a long time
to get the soil into condition for pro-
per bearing.
