ScIool children throughout every
part of the Ninth Federal Reserve
district are to be given the chance
this summer to win as war trophy
an actual hand grenade, made for
fighting purposes. At the same time
they will receive direct and practical
lesson in thrift and prosperity under
the plan which has been evolved by
M E. Harrison, director of the dis
trict War Savings Organization and
his aides.
The grenades, in accordance with
the idea of thrifty soul in Washing
ton who was unwilling to see SO
much good material go to waste after
fighting stopped, have been made into
savings banks. Just a slot cut at the
top and screw inserted at the bot
tom, and presto-the bomb that was
to have clinched things in tight trench
and dugout fighting has become
weapon against the forces of extrava-
gance.
The grenades are being bought from
the treasury department by banks
everywhere in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana and the Mich
igan and Wisconsin counties in the
Ninth district. The banks, in turn,
loan the grenades to all children un-
der II years Of age who apply. The

Minnesota organized labor has
shown a ray of sense when they re-
fused to go out on strike that Mooney
might get another trial and possibly
his freedom. Mooney has been tried
twice and is still in Jail. To about
all of us comes the belief that he
had that bomb in his hand-either
literally or figuratively, it makes no
difference. Had he been above sus-
picion he would not have been ar
rested. His acts in resisting all law,
order and decency placed him in the
suspected class. Had his whole life
been one of uprightness he would not
be where he is now. But few men
are ever hung in this country who
can show clean bill of morals and of
right living. Mooney has never APP
peared in these roles. His name and
law-defying have always been linked
together. A nation, like 2 city or a

The air laws are yet to be made.
The laws of the road have been fixed
but the air is yet to be regulated.
Such things as happened this week
when blazing balloon fell, in the
heart of a city and put out innocent
lives, must not be repeated. Flying
is to be the autos of tomorrow. We
are coming to it by easy stages even
as we approached the automobile.
Some day q Henry will come along
and Wen all go south with the birds
in the fall. Cut this out and save it
and then add to tit told you so,'
when that time comes. Man now will
never give up the air. He has it
hog-tied and is beating the birds in
it at their own game: He is learning
from every mistake he makes. Ac-
cidents of yesterday are eliminated
today and altitude and speed are get
ting grip on men who once upon a
time got dizzy while climbing over a
fence. We each are growing along
with the times and the great heights
of the once are now mere slight ell
evations. In ten years you may
have flying machine in the garage
and the old car in cold storage in
some musee. We are travelling very
swiftly these days. Regardless of
what has been done there are things
just ahead of US in the near future to
surprise all of US. And in the great
rush, the new things are old by to-
morrow night. Perhaps this is the
greatest age the old earth has ever
known. We are doing things today.
Things useful as well as ornamental.
No one is at work on pyramids or
mausoleums for moss-back Kings.
The spirit of progression has taken
hold of us, and the secrets of the
centuries are being dug up and put
to the pillow.

My friend, don't become too
pulled up. Take a quiet walk any
day through the village cemetery
On neglected lot you will likely
find small tombstone and on it in
scribed the name of the man who in
his day, was the whole works in the
town. Nobody moved without con-
sulting him. He ran the lodge, the
church and the politics of the hamlet.
He was simply ''IT" in big brass let
tiers. But time gathered him in and
before grass grew on his grave he
was forgotten by all except his i'm
mediate family. The town ran on
just the same and there was no break
down in the machinery. So you
want toaremember that at best, all of
us are small potatoes and few in a
hill Don't get the idea into your
head that the town can't run without
you. Lots bigger men have gone
away and nothing serious has hap
pened. Things will run all right af-
ter YOU are gone.-Polk County

ORGANIZATION UNDER WAY

Directions for the organisation Of
War Savings Societies under the Unit-
ed States treasury plan in every In
dustrial plant in the Ninth Federal
Reserve district have been sent to an
county directors Of War Savings. In
many counties the work 10 already
under way. In these the county chair.
men are now to complete the werk
with all speed by forming War SAv-
ings Societies In the remaining indus
tries. M. e. Harrison, district diyse-
tor Of War Savings, has urged county
chairmen In the other counties to
start forming societies at once.
A force of specially trained organ.
izers OF War Savings Societies ID now
busy forming societies In the larger
cities Of the Ninth district. As seoa
as that has been done these expert
enced men will be at liberty to finish
the work of organising industries in al
other counties.
The plan under which War Savings
Societies are being formed il simple.
A meeting Is called in the plant dur
ing which the Importance Of thrift and
investment In War Savings Stamps IL
explained to all employees. Those
willing to take part usually eyeryoas,
are then asked to sign membership
pledge, sometimes promising to buy q
fixed amount Of stamps weekly Or
merely to buy stamps. A president
Of the society is appointed and one or
more secretaries named. The secrs-
taries each have 6xed number OF per
sons on whom they call each payday.
giving them an opportunity to buy
Thrift stamps or War Savings stamps.
1t is desirable to have plenty Of
secretaries, according to Ray C. Feus-
cher, executive secretary of the dis
trict War Savings Organization. The
secretary who has but Is employees
to call on each week is more likely
to finish his work than the one with
80 on his list. IL there are 80 em-
ployees two secretaries should be
named so that every Garner may be
given a chance to became q saver
through investment In War Savings
stamps or Thrift stamps.
1.-THE Ninth Federal Reserve district
has responded leo per cent or better
to every national effort and we pur
pose to do the same this time" Diret
tor Harrison said yesterday. 1--WE arr
using Minneapolis as q model and
there is every Indication that every in
dustry in that city will have one or
more War Savings Societies by August
/. st. Paul and Duluth are to be or.
ganized with the same thoroughness
and by fall We intend to attain the
same result in every Ninth district

Dakota, Montana. western Wisconsin
and northern Michigan are all tn re-
ceiye the same thorough attention"
