ment of the law and said orders

full and inexcusable violations
thereof upon the person or per-
sons responsible therefor.

service requires it, employees
will be required to work a
reasonable amount of overtime,
but excessive hours of employ
ment will not be required.

AMERICAN AND GERMAN EFFI-
CIENCY

The seaTchlight of war has
brought out many interesting
facts, and one of these is that
the Wanted German efficiency
will not always stand the test Of
comparison with American eff
cheney.
The Germans boosted Of being
the greatest farmers on earth.
Investigation shows that in eff
cheney in agriculture, measured
by the produce per acre, America
being graded 100, Belgium leads
the world, at 2O5; Great Britain
comes second, at 1914; and Ger
many third, at 1856; America
comes fourth.
But the betttr test is the man
lest rather than the acre test.
and here America leads the world
by over 2 to 4. Again, grading
America at 100 per farm worker.
Great Britain produces l3 and
Germany Al. The American
farmer cultivates 27 acres, the
German farmer but Z. With the
aid of vast quantities of fertilizer
the German produces more per
acre. but he produces at a much
greater cost per bushel and he
produces much less than half as
much per man.

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING

Evidences are accommodating
that the habit of saving among
the American people, especially
among the patrons of savings
banks and postal savings, is out
stripping the financial demands
made upon them by the Govern
ment.
While no exact figures are
available at present, it is known
that postal savings deposits have
steadily gained during the year
1917, and notably since the ist
of July of that year, which was
after the first issue of the Liber-
ty Loan.
The reports from savings
banks also show steady gain,
and the same is true of coopera-
tive building and loan associa-
tons.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers.
1t is Estimated that the savings
Of the whole people of the United
States, ordinarily S5,OOO,OOO,O 600
to S6,OOO,OOO,OOO annually, we're
increased to St4,OOO,OOO,OOO to
Si5,0OO,OOO, 900 in 1917.
The response of the people to-
the national need of economy
and saving has been general and
generous.
