PATRIOTIC THRIFT.

O. C. Harm, Director Division of Advertising,
Committee on Public Information
in Leslie's Weekly.
- HE w. S. S. campaign is now success
financially. Two ideas have been pretty
we'll presented to the people; namely that
thrift is a good thing and we spendthrift Amer
leans should get on speaking terms with it, and
secondly if we buy Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings certificates, it will help win the war But
[ doubt if two out of thousand people have
more than most hazy idea of how thrift or
buying stamps will win the war.
The most tangible result of thrift is having
a little less of something you wanted and a lit
tie more money later for your own personal use
than if you had spent it now. The benefit is
personal one, therefore, and how can that be
hitched up with patriotism. The average person
will reply "Well, if take what I have and buy
War Savings Certificates, Uncle Sam will have
the money to use in prosecuting the war" And
that is about as deep as the average person goes
with it.
AS a matter of fact the head of this work had
a far more profound and useful purpose in view
in launching the w. S. S. campaign 1t is not pri-
marily to raise war funds. Uncle Sam can get
all the money he needs for buying things with
much less effort than the Thrift campaign has
cost But what if he can't find the things he
wishes to buy. Supposng his soldiers are bare
foot, and you and have used up all the leather
by buying shoes which we don't really need
new shoes when the old ones would do very well,
and extra shoes, such as golf shoes, tennis shoes
high Shoes low hoes special walking shoes and
dress shoes.
You are asked to buy fewer shoes Why?
Is it that Uncle Sam may have the $40 you save?
No; you are asked to the leather itself for
Uncle Sam If you don't the $40 won't do him
any good. Conservation of material is pro-
blem.
Even the government, to which in time
we gladly give sweeping powers, cannot buy lea
Their if it is not in the market; cannot commend
eer wool if there is none.
I was present at meeting of business men
the other day to which most discouraging re-
port had just been made. The market had been
secured for an important material and none
could be found.
"But" said one, "this is needed for war pro-
duct. The government will commander the raw
material for u.s."
"The government c. mot commander a mat
erial that doesn't exist" replied the man who
had been searching in vain for it.
The people have gotten the idea clearly in the
case of food. Mr.. Hoover said to US, "Yo gu must
use less sugar in your coffee and less Wheat IN
your bread, because allies and our soldiers
abroad surely need sugar and wheat" We gave
up our sugar and wheat willingly, because we
saw the connection between self-denial and
the war purpose it served.
There is just as direct a. connection between
the call for general thrift and purposes,
but it is less obvious.
Perhaps linking it with the sale of security
has confused the issue instead of helping it. Let
us put the emphasis the saving and
less on the buying of the stamps.

SMALL TOWN TALK

We go to our safe, pull out fifty dollar
Liberty bond, look lovingly at it and wonder why
anyone should ever have been heartless to
make detrimental remarks about the bloated bond
holder.

Townley is having horrible time to get

Some of the men who are too old to have
to save their own skin in this war are awfully
busy eleven tenths of the time saving their own
kin. That's why every county has to have an
exemption board that isn't afraid of the cars not
even when they rumble loudly right close at
hand. And that sure is the kind of board Red
wood County has. 1t has one exceedingly thick
member, one exceedingly thin member and one
nice and medium well done. But they are all
strong and just right seeing that the boys
of this county are given justice whether it is
justice the boys after something else.

The most expensive suit in the world is a sol

wearing it is the best dressed man in the world.
It is worn by private with just the same dig

which no woman was ever quite able to withstand.

Anyone who growls the least bit of a growl
at anything that has happened in Redwood coun-
ty after seeing the devastation at Tyler last week
would be indeed unmindful of his many bless
ings To see that wreckage Of human hopes and
homes and feel, even at a distance, the awful
tragedy in the path of the storm is to realize
that just ordinary little human woes are insig-
nficant indeed. It doesn't make our own ira
gedies less to know that our fellow men have
greater ones but it should teach us the invalu-
able lessons Of fortitude and patience The loss
of property is bad enough, but when it comes
linked with the immeasuraly greater loss Of hui
man life it takes vast courage in those who
pick up the tattered remnants and 60 on

just got rid OF a mess Of coolies.
AK Les Bains Il American.
But to continue. The establish
ment OF q great restorium at AK
Les Bains came as the result Of an
agreement between the United
States military authorities and the
French government. The city had
been turned over to the u. s. with
all OF It's offerings. and then IL was
cleaned OF all Of what were termed
malicious influences. Just like a
North Dakota town hit by LANCER
Ism, but the beer and light wine
cafes we're again opened. The ban
Is on the cognac and the rum and
the poor imitation Of American
whiskey which for O time was sold
over here; the stun with a kick
like a long range gun and the effects
Of a gas attack.
OF course Paris is looked upon
from afar by the men, but Paris
can't have thousands upon thou
sans Of men traipsing in and out
Paris is too busy.
AK Les Bains is clean. and offers
just as much and as little as the
United States government wants *
TO offer to its boys on holidays and
this will at least show 10 what ex-
tent the military chieftains are look
ing out for the welfare of the boys
over here, and to go a step farther,
for the welfare Of the army.
Here Is little story / heard re-
Gently:
Do you know what barrage is?
OF course, you do. There is no
military secret about a barrage. It
Is merely a terrific fire OF shells and
machine gun bullets that serves as
a screen while troops advance from
point TO point
Hlecently In one sector OF the
American trenches the artillery had
been sending over a heavy barrage
prior to a rush upon German
trenches by the Americans.
A sergeant was in charge Of a
platoon at a certain point and was
due to give a signal for the lifting
or raising. Of the barrage to a point
farther back. He was one OF the !
rare exceptions to be found in the |
american army, a coward.

lie refused to give the signal.
A private who realized that the |
Germans might be able to bring /
lp reinforcements, or that the whole |
scheme OF the attack might be frus- /
rated by the defalcation Of the one /
section Of the line, loaded his rife, /
brew military training aside and
.orced the sergeant to give the sig
lal, and then this private, a bow
rom Willlston, ". D., led the pIa-
DON in the attack and succeeded in
capturing a number of German pris-
,ners.
Just another North Dakotan's act.

NARY PICKFORD MAY
QUIT MOVIES, REPORT

Los Angeles, Cal, April 27.-Petite
Mary Pickford will quit the screen
world.
This is the startling intelligence
that percolated through the Los
Angeles film colony, emanating from
close friends and business associates
Of Miss Pickford, who in real life Is
Mrs. Gladys s. Moore, wife OF owen
Moore, himself a we'll known and
talented motion picture actor.
What at first was a rumor has
been confirmed by Miss Pickford
herself in Chicago.
Miss Pickford is expected In Los
Angeles this week, when she will
begin making two pictures for which
she is under contract with the Art
craft company, after which she viii
retire from hlmdom.
II is Miss Pickford's intention to
devote most OF her time to helping
the allies win the war, by personal
appeals throughout the United States
and through huge donations to the
various war funds which will be
needed from time TO time by the ma
tons battling the Central Powers.
It Is stated here that the movie
star viii provide her talented hus-
band with a studio and surround him
with a company Of stars. but she
viii play no parts, she says. for a
long, long time, maybe never.
According to authentic reports
from associates OF Miss Pickford
and Owen Moore, the breach be-
tween the couple, caused by the
revelation Of Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks
in Chicago several days ago, has been
healed, and that IL is Miss Pick
fOrd's purpose to retire more in
order to be with her husband more
constantly and to give him a chance
to win the fame, the quest Of which
has done much to estrange her from
him during recent years.

German Wages Have
Not Kept Pace With
The Cost of Living
~ Assoclated Preag.l

Washington, April 27.-Increases
in wages paid in Germany have ut
terly failed to keep pace with the in
creased cost OF living says the April
bulletin OF the department OF labor.
The average increase in wages has
been 80 per cent while the living
cost has gone up 300 per cent. The
greatest increase in wages has been
received by Prussian metal work
ers who are now getting SO per cent
more than they formerly received.
Increases as low as Is per cent have
been reported and some women are
still being paid less than $3.50 per
week,
The purchasing power OF money
has dropped to one-fourth its value
before the war according to the bull
letin. German workingmen, ii says,
are being underfed. One egg per
week is their allowance. Oleomar-
garins iB limited to an ounce and q
half for a family OF four.
Sugar Is more plentiful. the family
allowance being one and one-half
pounds. Coffee 10 practically unob-
tainable. Potatoes are the heaviest
item in the ordinary diet.
