Frueality Great Asset.

The problems of peace are going to be no less Gerious than those of war. but We face them with confidence. if. as a result of the habits we have ac- quired during war time, we shall have become a thrifty and economical peo- nle and q nation Of savers Waste not want not" is true old saving. but its application was never more inn portant than now. Frances greatest asset has been the thrift and frugality of her people and We can do no better than 10 emulate her in this, as in so many other things. To do so each must do his or her share and ny so do- ing divert production from non-essen- tials into essentials and make avail able the labor and goods needed for military purposes. In the same way, it is only by thrift and economy that we can speed up our production and make participation in the war more and more effective.
The Monticellonian., 1918-08-23
Thrift Will Help Win War.

Fuel and food conservation work in similar way and everything which We as individuals do without means just so much more for our allies or for ourselves for war purposes. The gos- pei of thrift cannot be preached too often or too strongly, not only for its direct bearing on the war, but also for it's effect on the future of this coun- try. Ne have been so blessed with natural resources and facilities for production, that we have been an eX- travagant people, and it is certain to be of incalculable advantage if we learn the value of saving We have been eXtravagant not only in the eX penditure of money, but also in what is even more important, in the use of our raw material and of our land In- tensive farming and full use of buy ing products are examples of this kind of thrift, which if inteligently prac- ticed will tremendously increase our production.
 Saving 10 be effective must he sys- tematic and not haphaZard in charac- ter. The greatest advantage of War Savings asSociatiess or the pusehase of Liberty bonds on the installment plan is that they require the setting aside of definite sum each week or each month and the making of the do- nestle budget accordingly And the remainder of the money thus set aside is saved and invested in the premier security of the world, in the ohliga- ton of the United States of America.

BEIDEL ENJOYS
REST IN EUROPE
Local Boy on Permission at
Aux-les-Bains; Was at
Front Long Period

Douglas Beidel, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Beidel. who has been in
active service driving an ambulance
in France since last summer, writes
that he is on permission" and is
spending the time at Aix-les-Bains.
His letter in part follows:
May 4. 1918.
L know that you will all be glad
to know that I am safe, we'll and
happy, after all the disturbances
here on the western front. More
than that I can tell you exactly
where 1 am-at Aix-les-Bains, on
permission.
AK is one of Europe's most ex-
elusive resorts and our government
is very kind in sending us to such a
grand place. 1 know it costs them
lot of money, but we never could
spend a cleaner and more delightful
week than We can here. Everything
Is wonderful and our government is
paying for our board and lodging.
Of course we are able to get rid of a
lot of cash on the many excursions,
but every cent is being spent for a
good time seeing France as it should
be seen.
Yesterday I was on an excursion
trip TO Mt. Reward. From there you
can see Mt. Blanc, Mt St. Bernard
and many of the French, Swiss and
Italian Alps. The scenery is Won
derful. You go up the mountain on
a cog railroad similar to that at
Pixies Peak. There is several feet of
snow on the top and we had a won
derful snow battle
The Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters are
in the casino-a magnificent large
building. Here we have dancing,
billiards, checkers. library, theater
and tea room. We have swell dances
ana shows-a real treat to a man
back from the front.
almost forgot to mention about
the baths-they arc famous and
people come from all over the world
for treatment. If there is any rheu-
mausm in my system from sleeping
IN damp dugouts, 1 think it will soon
be soaked out
Dear people. don't worry about
me, Tor L am in perfect health and
having wonderfully delightful and
broadening experience. Your son,

Coke Shortage Exists
at Local Steel Plant

Because of a coke shortage, blast
furnace No. of the local steel plant,
scheduled to be put into use several
weeks ago, is still idle. Although
the shortage of fuel is not yet seri-
Gus, officials do not care to use up
such a large amount to start fur
mace. A considerable amount of coke
is necessary to start furnace and
a large number of tons used in a
week to keep it going. Until there
is more fuel in sight, officials say,
the furnace will remain idle.

Steelworkers PensiOned
After Faithful Services

Steelworkers of the local steel
plant are placed on a pension list
after faithful service, an official of
the company SAID this morning. AL
though there are but a few men re-
tired from the service at the local
plant. the men that are pensioned
are those who have given their faith
full services for years and deserve
this gratuity. the official said. The
men, 1t is understood, are not re-
tired after working for the company
a certain number of years, alone, but
because of their merits. The en-
ployes must, of course, work with
the company many years before they
are placed on the retired list.
