Americans are abandoning the old
custom Of naming their children after
the hero Of the hour, according to the
New York Sun. At the dime OF the
Civil war and Immediately thereafter
thousands Of children were named
Abraham Lincoln.
This custom continued about thirty
years after the war. The last Ameri.

way by any large number Of persons
was Grover Cleveland. The American

There are comparatively few Will

Roosevelt, with all his immense popu-
larity, gained but few namesakes. Pres

the custom would revive, but there has

ance. We want to reduce the present
high cost of living and to get things
back on substantial and prosperous
peace basis with the least possible
trouble and delay.
In order to do these things, it is
necessary for the people generally to
change their present way of spending.
People are still experiencing re-
action from the forced thrift OF war
times and as rule are spending reck-
lessly. | believe that one of the prin-
cipal causes of the present high cost
of living is, as someone has expressed
it, the cost Of high living. 1t we
are to pay our debts and get back to
normal basis, we must all practice
economy of time, labor and money; we
must save and invest wisely. l will
not enter into an economic discussion
of the subject. There are undoubted-
ly many other reasons for the present
high prices, but think you will agree
with me in this-that the only way of
permanently lettering our condition is
by practicing thrift.
Spend Wisely and Save.
AS you know, the Government
realizes this fact and is conducting a
nationwide campaign of thrift educa-
ton and the sale of War Savings
Stamps and other Government securi-
ties. In order to make this campaign
effective, it must be popularized. This
can only be done by inducing large
number of people to spend wisely and
save. You know the majority of peo-
pie will not do this unless they are
impressed with the necessity Of it
and are induced to join with their
neighbors in investing in Government
securities. In this way, they will pre-
vent their surplus money from being
spent for non-essentials and Injuries.
For this reason, we are convinced that
an intensive effort to sell Government

year it will be the destruction of high

Everyone admits that the Ninth

Campaign to Help.
II believe by carrying on such
campaign, our old organization will be
in way perpetuated and will give
proof of its efficiency for patriotic work
in peace as well as in war. / think
that such campaign properly car
ried on in each county will help very
greatly in the sale of these securities.
Increased sales will relieve the
Treasury Department of just that

peoples attention to the value of the
Government securities as an invest

materially aid in the reduction of the
high cost of living and decrease So

Is Your County Organized?
"The response has been fine," said
Mr.. Harrison. Many of the old coun-
ty groups cannot be again completely
reorganized, but where the Liberty
Loan chairmen and workers cannot,
for one reason or another, do the ac-
tive work, the War Savings Chairmen
will direct it, and with the co-opera-
ton of all War Loan workers, will get
fine results"

Name Lotus Used for Many
Plants, Shrubs and Trees

The botanical name of the American
lotus is Nelumbo lutea or Nelumbium
luteum; that of the Indian Nelumbium
speclosum, and of the Egyptian Nym-
phoea lotus, according to an authority.
The name lotus, like SO many other
common plant names, has been used
for a great variety of plants, ranging
all the way from small herbs to
shrubs and trees with edible fruit. Bot
anists nowadays apply it to genus Of
herbs or sub-shrubs with mostly yellow
pea-shaped flowers. This genus has no
representatives in America.

1.-THE people of America must pro-

law of supply and demand can operate
to reduce prices" said M. E. Harri-
son, District War Savings Director.
"In other words, they must stop ex-
travagance, spend wisely and save.
To pound home this point Is at pres
emit the most important part Of the
established program of the Savings
Division Of the Treasury Department.
We will do this through the schools
and industrial societies, through our
personal workers and speakers in all
parts Of the district, through litera-
