 The careless dollar goes of somewhere and is never seen again.
 An Ohio man the other day lost hfetime's ssvings-S7S6. His dollars had gone of in the pockets of two fake stock promoters. He had not taught his dollars to keep good company Hundreds of years ago man to whom hand frd of dollars had been trusted buried them in . napkin He got no inIease-he did not even keep what he had One might as well have nothing as keep an idle dollar.
 Up and down the street you see the men who gre successful-the men who make their dollars work for them. The successful dollar works for the successful man.
 The dollar that works is only dollar at first Then it is dollar and son1ething-it keeps on growing itself; it attracts other dollars to it The dollar that succeeds is energetic-and care fsl. War Savings Stamps do more than save yo.r dollars; they put them to work And they nsxer fail.

THE INTELLECTUAL QUESTION IN
FRANCE.
Great Loss OF Professional Men and
Students by the War.

Paris, Feb. 15-That French intel
lectuaI classes have paid in lives
TO a fearful! extent in the war was
disclosed in the casualty returns now
being analyzed according to profes-
sions, is stated in the Paris journal
Intransigeant. The records show
that 6,227 F'renchmen prominently en-
gagged in educational pursuits have
been killed on the battlefield.
Paris alone, the paper adds, has
lost 1878 students Of different uni
versities and colleges, besides 35o
Journalists and men Of letters. The
figures for provincial France are not
yet available, but they are said to be
very large.
Since August 2, 1914. most of
Frances great educational institu-
tions have been practically closed
down, only few elderly professors
and limited number Of younger
men, physically unfit for military SER
vice, remaining to keep the lamp OF
knowledge burning.
To repopulate universities and col
leses without delay, is. in the view OF
the authorities. imperative in France
is to remain in the forefront OF intel
lectual life. NJ. Lafferre. Minister Of
Public Instruction, promises special
facilities for students ''as soon as they
are demobiilzed. but the machinery
by which men are returned to civil
ian life is working very slowly.
L'Eclair. another Paris daily pa
per, in editorial demands quicker
methods. 1t says that French culture
is in danger of losing its leading posi-
ton if the process of putting the
teaching elements back into their pro-
per spheres of activity is not at once
accerlated. High cost of living, and
the very human desire on the part Of
demobilized professional men to Sc
cure the best possible livelihood. it
says. is rapidly leading to an acute
crisis in the teaching world. The pa
per advocates a scheme by which the
still modified professors and stu
dents should be enabled to resume
their lectures and studies at once at
the universities and colleges Of Lille,
Nancy. StraSbnrg and other centers
of learning in the northern and north
eastern parts Of France and in AlSace-
Lorraine. if they cannot be sent back
to their homes.

Saving Waste Paper.

Washington, Mar. 8-Waste paper
saved by public school children in
Cleveland, is being turned into books
for soldiers, according to information
given by the Public Librarian of that
city to the American Forestry Asso-
citation here today.
The school children, it was stated,
take old magazines and newspapers
to school once week where they are
baled and sold to the highest bidder.
Save a bale of paper" is the slogan.
Ine zeal Of the children has been
stimulated by the starting Of compe-
tition to see which school can collect
.he most paper. After the soldiers IL
baries have been equipped. the plan
is to purchase books for the libraries
of Cleveland and continue the good
work
"This is fine paper saving
;cheme," says the American Forestry
Association. 1t is an easy and con-
venient method Of collecting it and
has the added value Of teaching the
children the value of conservation
The use of old paper helps to save
our forests and it saves coal for every
pound of paper represents from one
% three pounds Of coal used in its
manufacture 1t is hoped that many
other cities will adopt the cleveland
plan Save bale Of paper"

said the judge, "I heartily approve OF
many Of the things which President

try. He was elected by the sovereign
people and should be supported by
all loyal Americans during his term

Champ Clark Speaks
Speaker of House of Represen'
tatiyes Make Address at
Olar.

Olar. March 10.-"I want to see the
American soldiers in Europe brought
aome and brought home right away
declared Champ Clark, speaker OIL
the last house of representatives. In
an address delivered here tonight be-
fore hundreds Of people, many Oh
whom came miles over almost I'M
passable roads to hear him.
Governor Cooper was to have IN
troduced Mr. Clark, but due to de-
rallied car in Denmark, his train was
DELAYED and he did not reach Olar un-
til Mr.. Clark had begun his speech.
Mr.. Clark was introduced by e Z.
entity.
II have an abiding confidence in
the ability of our American people,
said Governor Cooper, whose address
followed that Of Mr.. Clark. However
we are now confronted with a ser1-
Gus situation in the United States he
added. Governor Cooper then made
few remarks urging the reduction OF
cotton acreage and a cut In the use
of fertilizer.
Reverting to the American soldiers,
Mr.. Clark said I'VE had 100000 SOL
diers in Europe and we have got to
furnish employment to these soldiers.
We have got to increase our foreign
trade. Some prophets predict that the
Bolshevists are going to take THIS
country. Don't you believe it! Bolshe-
vism is not going to take root in
America. We have got too much
sense and too much conservatism. :
Mr.. Clark declared shutting OF
Germany from our raw material was
cutting off our own nose. However.
I believe in Furnishing Germany, he
added. I'VE came out Of this war with
a great fleet continued Mr.. Clark,
'.but we have got to find some one to
| buy the goods we have in the ships.

/ teaching of Spanish in every school,
college and business institution In
America.
In speaking of Americas reason for
entering the war, Mr.. Clark empf1a'
sized that no nation will long survive
or has any right to survive that Will
not protect all. II say all of its cltl-
zens whoever they may be, on land
or on sea. That's what got the United
States into the war-protecting hel
citizens
Mr.. Clark asked the blessing Of the
Almighty on the American comnlIs
sioners now at the peace congress II
Paris, declaring that they carried
great load upon their shoulders, De
cause they are trying to safely ar
range the future of all mankind.
At the close of Mr.. Clark's address
Governor Cooper arose and introduc
ed himself. In concluding his remark
Governor Cooper urged that the peo
pie again indorse Uncle Sans note b.
subscribing to the Victory Loan. - g
hope you will show our returning sol
, diers that we are still behind them.

Winchell Says Move of Men Is
Illegal Under Their Union
Rules.

Atlanta, March 12.-Both sides to
the controversy arising out OF the
walkout yesterday Of some. 1,20o
clerks on the Nashville. Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway remained
firm tonight in their determination
not to give in. 3. L. Winchell, re-
gional director, issued a statement
today saying the Washington offices
of the clerks brotherhood state that
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis strike is illegal because the men
failed to use the good offices of board
No. 81 in an effort to settle their
grievance against A. P. Ottarson, fed
eral auditor Of the road. Il urge
them to return at once to their ola
places as far as now possfole' the
statement added. The clerks walked
out yesterday because OF Mr. VIM
chelPs refusal to discharge Ottarson
whom clerks urged was dlscrlmlnat-
ing against them and tonight r. M
McGhee. local chairman of clerks
brotherhood. said the men would re-
main out until Ottarson was removed
He said the clerks had no charge TO
make against the adjustment board
but that they had to act quickly as
Ottarson was making great inroads'
against the union and would have
crippled it while the board was ad-
! iusting the matter.
Mr.. McGhee also denied that the
washington brotherhood officials
were not supporting the strike and
asserted that the men would remain
out not only until the auditor was re-
moved, but until they were assured
that they would not lose their pay
while out and would not lose seniority
rights.
The tie up of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & st. Louis was virtually COM
plete here today. Train callers re-
fused to announce the passenger
trains, clerks refused to sell tickets
for them and baggage men declined
to handle baggage of passengers ar
irving or leaving. officials of the
road took over these duties as best
they could. Freight traffic Of the
road was tied up and employees OF
other roads. it was said, declined tc
handle freight originally routed on it
! but diverted to other lines. Unior
leaders intimated that clerks on 9th
er roads throughout the, Southeast
might go out in support of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Loui:
clerks if the issue appeared to sc
against them. They said clerks OF
other roads entering Atlanta already
hal formally pledged support.
Mr.. Winchell said: 1.-THE Washing
ton officers of the clerks union state
that the Nashville. Chattanooga &: st
Louis strike is illegal because rht
men failed to use the good Offices o1
board No 5, which the president o1

the director general Of railroads ii
establishing for the purpose Of hear
ing. just such grievances and com
plants. The board in question j;
| therefore the official machinery o.

81 am sure a majority Of the en-
ployees who left the Nashville, Chat

understand these facts and I urge
them to return at once to their Ole
places so far as now possible and al
