SAVE MONEY WHILE THE Saw
ING Is GOOD.

THE following, one of Walt Masons
famous prose poems, although copy
righted, is printed through special
permission given by Mr.. Mason to the
United States war loan organization:
Life is gay and blithe and sun
ny since the peace dove hit the
breeze; every one is burning
money just as though it grew on
, trees. l insist on thrift and saw
ing, but there's none to heed my
words; johnnies say that / am
raving, and throw money to the
birds. Men are drawing prince
ly wages, and their breasts are
filled with mirth, and they jeer
foreboding sages who predict a
day of dearth but that day will
come as surely as tomorrow's sun
Will rise; things will then be 60
ing poorly with the giddy spend
thrift guys. Things won't boom
along forever as they're booming
now, my friends: and the man
who's truly clever saves as ably
as he spends. 1t Is patent to the
knowing, in expansive times like
these, that the kopecks won't be
growing always on the shrubs and
trees. There will come a day of
trouble, when this boom is left
behind, and the kopeck and the
ruble will be mighty hard to find;
happy then the lads whose wages
have been safely placed in brine,
who obeyed the seers and sages,
when the saving graft was fine.
And how sick will be the mortals
who like spendthrifts now behave,
who reply with jeers and chortles
when we call on them to save!
Buy War Savings Stamps!

OFF FOR SIBERIA.
Adyer<urOus Alaskans Off on a Haz-
ardous Expedition,

| Twenty-nine weather -bronzed ex-i
plorers hailing from every quarter
OF the globe and bound for some
mysterious gold country of Northern
Siberia left Nome aboard the sailing
schooner Casco, once the property
of Robert Louis Stevenson, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Fears were expressed by Nome res
idents before the boat left that it
would not be able to get thru into
the Arctic ocean, as reports received
here recently said the Boring straits
were still blocked with ice.
Members of the ships company
said they were bound for some point
in a vast uninhabitated territory
lying along the Arctic shore in Siberia
between East Cape and Lena river
They would not divulge the, exact To-
cation Of their destination.
The party is known az the North
ern Mining & Trading company and
is led by s. L. McGirk, a mining en-
gineer Of Hamilton, Texas, president
OF the company. A. L. Johnson, an
other Of the party, is vice-president
Capt. c. L. Oliver h master Of the
adventure ship.
With the exception Of the destina-
ton there is little mystery about the
McGirk said while here.
He asserted that the party possesses
certain knowledge about the country
or which they are heading and are
lining to explore the section and
ind what 1t contains. No rich gold
trikes are expected. he declared.
The Casco may be sent back from
he north this fall, after landing her
passengers at their destination.

DEADLY WILDCAT WHISKY.

! Moonshne whisky is killing people
right and left in all parts of the Unit
ed States and Canadian point of
deadiness 1t is throwing the unload
ed gun into the junk heap and back
ing the reckless automobile into the
ditch. A protest comes from Tennes-
. see against the use of the word
"moonshine" as applied to the fear
fully and wonderfully degenerate
whisky of these strange, unheard of
days. The Tennesseeans say it's dis
honoring a good old name The moon
shine made of yore in the Tennessee
mountains, while it did not bear the
government stamp and approval
was nevertheless a good to prime
quality of whisky. The producers had
a reputation to sustain with the con-
sumers, If not with the federal au-
thorities, and they took pains that
their moonshine should outshine the
sunshine in warmth and geniality, the
shoe shine in polish and refinemen,
and the monkeyshine in vivacity and
exhilaration.
But now times and conditions and
ingredients have changed, and if a
manufacturer stops to take pains he
has to take flight instead. He Is
forced to turn. out his product with
the utmost expedition, sell it in the
greatest hurry and run. The stuff
that passes as moonshine Is a base
imitation of the genuine and richly
merits the name of wildcat. Like the
pace, wildcat is the stuff that kills. If
1t has half chance it will kill two
men with one slug. 1t will kill the
drinker, but not before he has had
time to kill somebody else. Under
favoring conditions quart will do as
much execution as a 6-inch SHE'LL
gallon possesses all the destructive
ness of a Krupp gun. and barrel will

used. This gives the wildcat factory
the advantage of quick operation. A

WHY WE WENT TO- WAR.

(San Francisco Chronicle)
| 1t should never be forgotten that
we did not go to war for the purpose
of getting the allies out of scrape.
We declared war because Germany
sunk our ships. Great Britain had
previously interfered with our ships
in ways not authorized by interna-
tional law, but as the theory upon
which she interefered was originated
by us and accepted by Great Britain
when it operated against her, we
We're not in good position for de-
claring war. But Germany sunk our

NOW UP TO THE PRESIDENT
SAYS WILL n. HAYS.

After taking over six months to
formulate the treaty with Germany
and the league of nations covenant,
President Wilson has severely criti-
cised the foreign relations committee
OF the senate for taking a few weeks
to study the documents before pre-
senting them to the senate, although
the senate shares responsibility
equally with the president. But the
treaty and covenant are now before
the senate and vote will be taken
as soon as it can be reached under
the rules of procedure unless it is
delayed by senators acting under the
direction Of the president himself.
fhe committee has recommended the
adoption of the covenant with a SER
les Of reservations and there are
enough votes in sight to insure it's
passage. These reservations are
submitted for the purpose Of protect
ing American honor, American inter-
ests and American independence. If,
the president persists in refusing to
accept them, he can delay action fur
ther, but he can not defeat them.
There is no doubt that these reser-
vations would be promptly accepted
by the other signatory powers and
the responsibility for further delay
rests solely upon the president. On
this subject Will H. Hays, chairman
Of the republican, national commit
tee, says:
u agree with President Wilson
= that the treaty will be ratified,
but the ratification will be accom-
panied by reservations absolute
ly. safeguarding the full inde-
pendence and freedom of action
of this CepuIblic That Is the~ SIM
pie fact which the president may
as we'll recognize first as last.
AT present he is only pounding
against a stone wall Of patrio-
tism which has already become
impregnable and Is daily in
creasing in width, strength and
height.
The committee reservations
constitute the irreducible mini
mum of the requirements of a
substantial majority of senators
who can not be coerced or cajoled
into violating their oaths of office
to hold America first. There is no
craftsmanship. in their position.
True, every republican senator
without exception stands with the
committee, but because he is an
American-not because he is
republican. l sincerely believe
further that an actual majority of
the democratic senator's feel the
same way, and evidences multiply
daily that when the time comes a
considerable number will vote the
same way"

Oh, Beautiful My Country
(Frederick L. Hosmer)

20 Beautiful, my country"
Be thine a nobler care,
Than all thy wealth Of commerce.
Thy harvest waving fair;
Be it thy pride to lift up
The manhood of the poor;
Be thou to the oppressed
Fair freedoms open door.
For thee our fathers suffered,
For thee they toiled and prayed
Upon thy holy altar
Their willing lives they laid.
Thou hast no common birthright;
Grand memories on thee shine,
The blood of pilgrim nations.
Commingled, flows in thine.
o beautiful, OUT country!
Round thee in love we draw;
Thine is the grace Of freedom,
The majesty Of law.
Be righteousness thy scepter,
Justice thy diadem;
And on thy shining forehead
Be peace the browning gem.

PLUMB PLAN IN FABLE.
Minneapolis Tribunel

Perhaps you remember the story Of
the. two men who owned a COW in
partnership? One of the partners
claimed the end that gave the milk
and generously conceded the end that
must be fed to his associate in the
COW business. For some reason the
latter was not satisfied. Strange, but
this makes one think Of the Plumb
plan for the ownership and operation
OF the railroads.
