MIX EN- UP
AT SALONIKI

saI0niki. April 19.-The Ameri-
can visitor finds here an extra
ordinary mixture of races. tongues.
beliefs and customs. Saloniki is
literally a melting-pot of human
ity. No other city in the world,
unless 1t be one of the great Amer
lean centers. is so thoroughly cos
mopolitan. Greeks, Mongols, Turks.
Slavs, Teutons, Italians and Eu-
ropeans mingle and each under
stands the language of the other.
The market place Is babel of
tongues. The lowest street ped
Ter speaks at least four languages.
But these diverse races associate
together only for business pur-
poses. In their religious beliefs,
aspirations and sentiments a great
gulf separates them. Each has a
different ideal and a distinct view
point Of life. In Macedonia all re-
ligions are tolerated. Saloniki, or
Thessalonica, as it was called in
early times, Is said to have been
the door by which Christianity en-
tered Europe. Indeed, devout res
idents relate with pride that 1t
was here the Apostle Paul, after
having evange1ized Syria and Asia
Minor, came to preach the gospel
to the unbelievers of Macedonia.

PROSPECTOR'S MINERAL
 OGY LECTURE

MT. George R. Fansett, Min ing Engineer of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines of the University of Arizona, will soon repeat his successful ex- tension lecture Practical Min eralogy for the Prospector'' in all of the larger towns and camps of the state. The pur- pose of this course is to stimu- late the search for and aid in the discovery and development of deposits of valuable miner als.
 This lecture as given is pri- marily intended to reach all people, both young and old, who have very little, if any, knowledge of mineralogy, chemistry, and allied sciences. For that reason the work is handled in the simplest and most direct manner in order that it may accomplish the best results and make it possible for those who attend this lecture to make their own tests for the de- lection and determination of minerals.
 MT. Fansett's technical train ing and practical experience in mining and prospecting make him especially we'll qualified for this particular work. He is a graduate of Yale University, later taking a postgraduate course in mining at the Colum- bia School of Mines of New York City, and the University of Washington School of Mines at Seattle, Washington. In ad- dition to this technical training he has had over 13 years prac- tical experience in mining work in Arizona, Central America. and South America.
 Owing to the fact that this lecture fills a long felt want, it is hoped that those interested will take advantage of this op- portunity to hear MT. Fansett when he comes to Williams.

What is true of an individual is true of peo- ple;.- sself-indulgance' in time breaks down self-respect, for we cannot have what we spend.
 In the several Liberty Loan and War Savings campaigns, America has undertaken tre- mendous propaganda. A gos- pei has been preached thatnhas reached to every fireside. 1t has been worth more in form ing habits and in bringing home to people their individual re- sponsibility than all the money it has brought forth.
 Perhaps that should be said with a qualification: If this propaganda is continued until habits of thrift, economy and safeinvestment becomes in- grained in the people until the old habits of wastefulness shall. become unpopular and a matter of comment-then, in- deed, our savings campaigns willzprove a blessing.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

What this country needs now more than anything else is vast army of savers and invest ors. Our armed forces have done their work and the enor- nous burden of financing the war is nearing it's end.
 But the future prosperity of this country and it's pre-emi- hence in world affairs depends upon individual economies, and these economies must become a matter of habit.
 We talk about the thrift of the French, but there is nothing inherent in the French nation which has made them the prov ident people they are. It has been a matter of necessity, and through the experience of gen. erations of thrifty people. thrif- ty communities and thrifty nation. they have esta ablished the habit. It is easy to acquire because it is normal.
 We Americans have been liv- ing in a land where nature is prodigal. If we wanted land, all that we had to do was to file a claim. We didn't hoard for three or four generations to get enough money to buy three or four acres. We took a quarter sectiOn.s
 For our minerals we went to the virgin hills and dug out what we wanted. For timber, we chopped down trees that were standing when Penn made his treaty. We have done things on big scale, thinging that America was for Ameri- cans and that our riches would. last forever.
 But suddenly we realize hat we. cannot remain isolated if we would. We have relations with the whole world. As matter of ethics or philanthro- py, we are obliged no longer to force our attentions upon a re- luctant globe millions of hands are outstretched toward ! us.
 As a matter of business, since the whole world is looking to us to lead in solving the problems Fof reconstruction problems that will remain for genera tions-it is the part of wisdom to set our house in order that we may be able to measure up to our opportunities.
 We need universal thrift to meet the era that is to come, as badly as we needed it for the era that is past.

 Our ways have changed bit in the economic life of this republic which the great Franklin helped to build No longer may every man be his own shopkeeper.

Cable the Peace Conference

Americas prestige is at stake in the coming Victory Liberty Loan The eyes of. the world are fixed upon us The nations of the world are going to rate US on this last effort. It is right that they should judge us, not by what we do in the heat of the strug- gle. but by our condition after the fight.
 One of the best guarantees of world peace for years to come would be the successful Notation of the Victory Lib erty Loan for five or six billion dol lars. Even a. combination of powers inclined to start another war would hesitate in the face of such a display of tremendous national strength. '
 Every man who buys Victory Lib erty Bond next April. moreover. will be adding to- the determination with which America speaks at the Peace Conference. There are undoubtedly going to be many moments during that Conference when every whit of the power of the United States will be needed to shape into actualities those ideals for which we entered the world struggle.

NINE MOTHERLESS CHILDREN CLOTHED
 BY HARMONY CLUB

Nine motherless children were out. fitted for school by the Harmony club during the past month, according to the president, Mrs. Henry Baswitz, who is fostering philanthropy in the clubs activities.
 In it's investigation work among the poor in the city. the club found many children who were not attending school because of insufficient cloth ing. It immediately provided the small boys and girls with warm wear ing apparel and as a result the young sters enrolled in classes in the public schools.
 "As long as we have funds in our treasury we will continue to help those who are in need" said Mrs. Baswitz yesterday. we do not confine our charities to any particular want, but
 just now we are trying especially to care for the children. We feel that
 they should not miss educational ad-
 vantages because of lack of clothing and we are going to prepare them for citizenship.
