= projects VII begin with saving
thrift stamps for capital, and end in
turning profAs into WAR savings
stamps.
Parents, businessmen, all public
spirited citizens are urged to assist
the children, both by the influence
of their example in belonging to the
savings SOC S-,hes and in providing
v ork through which the children can
make money.
Thrifty children make thrifty par
efts. The influence of the children
Will soon be felt in domestic and civil
management and thrift, not eXtrav-
agance will become an American
characteristic.
The educational phase of the ma
tional thrift campaign is a program
for good citizenship. The boy who
makes his money and saves 1t, will
know the true relation between labor
and capital. He win have definite
IDEAS of property rights. He will not
believe the world owes him a living
unless he gives value received, He
will have no sympathy for idlers who
are willing to upset the existing order
in the hope of getting something for
nothing. If he invests his savings in
government securities, he will feel
himself in partnership with Uncle
Sam. He will stand for law ana
order. In fine, he will be a good
citizen, not a BolsheVist.

CREATING ENMITY.
Boston Transcript

Some persons are industriously cir
culating a small pamphlet which Is
issued for the purpose of creating
enmity between America and England.
1t pretends to be the reprint of a
letter from an English official in this
country to the prime minister of Eng
land, and it loads with abuse or deri-
sion every American of prominence
who is not engaged in uttering lies
about Great Britain--that Is, prac-
tically every decent public official or
writer, of all parties and religions.
Whether this is issued by the friends
and employees of the late German en-
pire or by the friends and employees
of the Irish Republic" is hard to
determine. 1t looks like a partnership.
For it must be remembered that while
tens of thousands of Irishmen were
fighting and working for the allied
cause, the central empires had three
aids: Turkey Bulgaria and the
group who called themselves the
Irish Republic,
Propaganda, from whatever source,
which seeks to make illfeeling between
America and England is. in effect,
German propaganda. and should be so
treated

A GREAT PEANUT CROP.

With the exception of Alabama.
Texas leads all other states this year
in production of peanuts, the total
crop for the state being estimated at
12,47S,000 bushels an increase OF
100000 bushels over last year. The
increase for the whole country will be
/ 100000 bushels, estimating the total
crop at 55,531 900 bushels. We shall
see whether this great supply of pea
nuts from which cooking oil can be
made will have any effect on bringing
down the price of lard and cooking
greases, which are now at the, high
est levels in history. Every time the
price of hogs is given a new boost,
lard and cooking oil &C up. Peanuts
are food for hogs and also furnish a
fine oil for cooking, If a crop like
this does not break the back of high
lard prices then the law of supply
and demand is certainly not IN opera

Co. CThe New York Evening World),
And it came to pass, that the win
ter fled, and the dog-days were upon
us, and the sun beat down until the
tar trickled from the roof tops. and
the asphalt was softer than the heart
of young widow.
And again, | came upon the damsel
in the streets of the city.
And, behold she was clad in starch
ed ruffles. which looked as though
would melt at a smile!
And her waists were bound in but
toned sleeves, and her hands in kid
gloves. And her ears were covered
with padded hair and her forehead
with curling bang.
And about her throat was wound a
defunct poodle-dog, which she called
summer fur" and on her feet were
high shoes of canvas.
Yet the powder chung to her nose
and the perspiration stood not upon
her brow. and she looked cooler than
soda fountain advertisement, or a rich
dowager's greeting to her poor rcla-
tons.
And, when l again voiced mine
amazement, she answered me with
smiles of pity. saying:
NAY, nay! Lam Perfectly-C Cons
Portable! For | am carrying my new
sunshade. And is it not a ducky darl-
ing?"
And again I marvelled, and turned
from her crying:
'How do they do it?
For surely. the Lord hath made
women of straw and of sawdust. that
they neither melt nor freeze nor suf-
fer so long as they 'look-the-par and
are satisfied with their own lowell
nessl"
And yet men in, their vanity, have
called woman, THE weaker vessel"

Bill SavOrs of ''VOters Assistant" Law
Another radical measure introduced

his vote was purchased or bargained
for by a political party was known to
have been cast for that party, by be-
ing assisted by the voters assistant.
The new law provides that a voter
shall have the power to request one OF
the challengers stationed at the pol
ling places to accompany him to the
election booth to assist him in mark
ing his ticket. Senator Handy IRE

DEAR SIR: 7 read with interest your
article on the subject OF the restoration
of the Wagner operas in The SUNS Isl
sue OF April Is.
think that the repertoire of any opera
house is incomplete without the Wagner
music dramas
In eliminating them we have carried
OFT what we considered to he our duty
"a loyal Americans rather than our de-
sire as music loving people. The over
crowded house and the spontaneous
burst of heartfelt enthusiasm and appre-
citation which attended the rendition Of
Wagner numbers at orchestral concerts
during the last two seasons dispelled for
ever the idea that Wagner could be
placed aside for even a period OF time.
What II weakminded public Wa are
We accept "Oberon." most typical
German opera by n German composer
because it is given to us in our own
tongue, with tho glamor Of spectacular
scenery and costumes. and let our long
ing for tho eternally wonderful music Of
Tristan" and the Ring pass unex-
dressed. Wagner was an exile from
Germany because Of his ant!-PrussI ian
views. Why should lie be barred while
Weber passes the censor?
1t IS our inconsistent and impulsive
way OF doing things. Let us turn over a
new leaf and be reasonable Wagner's
operas can be sung in Englsh-well,
then, let us start at once to secure the
best TRANSACTIONS. The next and nat
urally most important question that
arises is. What competent singers non
alien can be engaged To sing the roles in
English?

grin and TdHHhdcuSer
Florence Easton, an American, was IL

| After all, the light operas which have
succeeded one another week after week

for the moment by their tunefulness, but
