portions Of "a economical revolu-
ton.
No nation Of people ever yet
succeeded in building a stable ma
tional edifice upon extravaganza.
1t matters not how vast the re-
sources, they must in time succumb
to the lavish hand. Only pru-
dence and frugality can lay sub
stantial foundation for the ma
tional life.
We are aware that the life of
our people has heretofore been
tending toward prodigality. and
that their phenomenal success
would tend to disprove the fore
going assertion. But there is a
reason. and it is found in the COM
parative newness of the country.
Heretofore it has been easier to
reach out after untouched re-
sources than to conserve those al
ready in hand. But that day is
past. We are face to face with q
demand for more than is available.
and the smallest fraction of waste
will tell in the net result.
A knowledge of this fact is the
great legacy that will be left to
the American people when the war
will have been fought to sue
cessful end. And that knowledge,
with the habits of thrift now be-
ing enforced, will have effectually-
changed the American character
from spending to a saving peo-
pie.

Every eight hours a citizen of

Twenty-six per cent of the deaths

North Dakota spends about two

in the list of states as regards eff

There is no adequate system Of
