BEE why the allies supply Of sugar

production and decrease our consump-

All the dollars in the world cannot
buy victory. Victory is not purchase
albeit is won. Dollars can work for
victory only in 50 far as the are con-
verted into labor and materials. A dol

ed is traitor; dollar saved is pa
triot, doubly so when loaned to the gov
eminent 4 boarded dollar represents
idle power; a wasted dollar represents
wasted power; dollar saved represents
power saved, labor saved, materials
saved. Loaned to your government, it
represents power, labor, and materials
in action, on the firing line, over the
top. And more-it represents reserve
power, energy stored, purchasing power

Song Brings Them Closer.

The song is not nearly SO important
as the singing of it. In numerous
places community singing has been re-
VlVed. 1t has been found that the
spirit Of the old New England town
meeting is brought out by these com
munity songs. After the people have
joined their voices in a few familiar
numbers they get together on other
things. Many churches lost a great
zeal OF their power to arouse commu-
nicants when they substituted paid
cholrs for congregational slnging.-Ex

(Randolph Herald and News.
July lst next, the newspapers will
be recognized by grateful republic
for their part in boosting the Liberty

having the postage rates lacked up full

is much worse, being compelled to in
stitute an elaborate system of record,
including the measurement of advertis-
ing matter in each and every issue
(Which bears a different rate of postage
than news matter), the careful divi-
sion of mailing lists into zones leach

and other extra bother, far outweighing
the benefits derived in increased rev
