Never Was Work
So Much Wanted

IL is impossible to imagine q world
where work is SO keenly wanted as
work is wanted now, being anything
but a good world for the workers.
Now, for the first time since most of
us can remember, there are more jobs
than there are workers. Now is the
time when every American laboring
man, without hurting his fellows and
with the comfortable feeling at heart
that he is doing a great service for
his country, can earn money enough
to put some aside.
see the great benefit that is COM
ing to this country, the great oppor-
tunity for us to become a nation of
savers, not only because we want to
save for the government, but be-
cause arc hare something to soue
The American workingman is an
extremely intelligent citizen. Wher
some one says to him, Save money
in order to decrease wages; don't
compete with your government for
your own labor" he is apt to give
the same answer that was given in
England.
If, on the other hand. you show
the American workman that here is
a chance to save as he never saved
before, that here is his chance. with
what he can earn and with what his
Womenfolk can earn to own some
thing in the world and to be some
body; when YOU show him that
wages arc high and going higher,
that work is plentiful and getting
more plentiful, that extravagancies
are SO dear that he gets only part
of his moneys worth from them,
and that saving has been made as
profitable and as easy as it is being
made to-day, the American working
man will join YOU
Worker Will
Save Sanely
He will work harder than he
ever worked in his life; from the
same motive; he will save more. and
what he saves he can't consume. He
Will control his consumption in Il
healthy way-by cutting down the
loose change in his pocket.
The American workingman will
never save as the Chinaman saves.
Tor he is a confirmed believer in
the truth of the phrase, Them as
has gets" Teach him that this is
his chance to get and to have and
that he can show high patriotism
IN the getting. Let his wife know
that now, for the first time, there is
to be something left after the bills
are paid, to save, and l believe re-
duced consumption, along with the
sale of War Savings Stamps. will
follow increased production over the
top.

MEN FOR OUR CARGO SHIPS.

In helping our country shoulder its
war load it Is we'll for each Of us to
keep steadily in mind the Importance
of ships in what we have to do. Our
ability to bear the burden the war has
put OH us turns wholly on ships With
them we may continue to send our men
to france, there to fight for liberty;
we may continue to send our allies the
war materials that we have and they
have not; we may continue to carry on
he trade that keeps our factories going
and our homes from want.
The world cries "ships, ships and
more ships.
This does not mean war ships, for
there is good supply of them, built
or building-far more than German y
can ever hope to put afoat, and enough
to smash her present fleets should they
dare to come out of their harbors.
The ships we need most are plain
cargo SIl1pS-Gn0 KIM budb UTluSS us
the sugar for our tables, the wool to
cover our backs, the leather with which
we are shod, to say nothing of the raw
materials without which our munitions
factories could not work.
These are the ships that are to make
up our Merchant Marine, for which
the United States Shipping Board is
now recruiting men in every section of
the country. Men are needed as much
as ships, Tor as vessels for the great
new fleet for the Merchant Marine
take the seas, crews must be on hand,
trained and equipped, to man them.
Therefore we should honor the young
man who is inclined to serve In the
Merchant Marine. He.is doing his part
in the war where his service will count
for as much as if he were going to the
firing line.

WAR JOTTINGS

The number of women employed in
munition factories has increased from
8. 500 in 1910 to more than 100 900 in
1917 according to u report made to the
National League of Women's service,
and 1866, 900 women are engaged in
industrial work which is directly or in
directly necessary to carry on the war.

people are allowed only one-fifth of a

increased at least 10 per cent. the same
rate of increase for the year 1916 and
about the average rate of increase for
the last 10 years.
The small savings-bank accounts
show a similar increase in numbers OF
depositors and amounts Ct deposits.
Sales of War Savings Stamps also show
great growth of tie habit of saving.
The American people have responded
to the call CT duty to economic and
save, They have not only purchased
nearly So, 900, 900, coo of Liberty Loan
Bonds and War Savings Stamps but in
addition they have increased their
savings as above shown. Patriotism
and saving are synonymous now, and
economy is a duty, and many millions
of American citizens are doing their
duty in this parti ;ular.

THRIFT AND STAMPS.

The Thrift Stamp movement which
has slowly gained momentum in this
town since its inauguration last Decem.
Der, is moving at incredible speed and
should send North Canaan over the top
with full quota. From the remarks
heard on the street, person living in
this town and not having Thrift card
will be decided novelty.
North Canaan has established a
reputation for loyalty to every good
cause which Is hard to equal, and in
the present campaign, which takes SO
little to maintain that reputation, we
trust that the town and every indivi-
dual in the town, will feel that Uncle
Sam is relying upon you personally to
make this campaign a success There

Liberty Bonds and their purchase has
been made 80 easy that there is no

The children in the schools Of this

spirit which they have shown, whether
nc is thrift or patriotism, IS synony-
NOUS OF this time. Thirty five per cent
or the children in our schools have

I have been in many places of great
scenic beauty especially in the New

could I have such an extensive view OF
landscape scenery. Every way you look
for this slightly place, east or west,
north or south, the view is just grand.

This is beauty intensified, it must be

all is the western view of the setting

it requires some clouds to make just
the right colors and the many pleasing
