WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

What this country needs now more than anything else is vast army of savers and investors. Our armed forces have done their work and the enormous burden of financing the war is nearing its end.
 But the future prosperity of this country and its pre-eminence in world affairs depend upon in- dividual economics, and these economics must become a matter of habit.
 We talk about the thrift of the French, but there is nothing in herentin the French nation which has e.them the proVident peo- pie they are. It has been a mat ter of necessity, and through the experience Of generations of thrifty people, thrifty communi- ties and a thrifty nation, they have established the habit. It is easy to acquire because it is nor maj.
 We Americans have been living in land where Nature is prodi- gal. 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 up quarter section.
 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 a big scale, thinking that Ameri- ca was for Americans and that our riches would last forever.
 But suddenly we realize that we cannot remain isolated if we would. We have relations with the whole world. As a matter of ethics or philanthropy, we are obliged no longer to force our at- tentions upon a reluctant 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 of reconstruction-problems hat will remain for generations-it is the part of wisdom to set our house in order that we may be able to measure up to our oppor- tunltles.
 We need universal thrift to meet the era that is to come, as badly as we needed 1t fer the era that is past.
 A hundred millions of people can't fritter away their earnings in luxuries without becoming soft and without placing themselves at a disadvantage in the economic struggle that is coming. What s true of an individual is true of
 people; self-indulgence in time

most as wasteful as to abandon the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., the K. of C., or other war organ izations the day that peace is signed.
The St. Johns herald., 1919-03-06

We didn't get into this war to get anything, but neither did we go in for the proud privilege of giving up all we've got.

LAST TIME TONIGHT TO SEE "lOADED DICE" AT THE PALACE.

Tonight is the last time at the Palace theatre in which will be shown Frank Keenan in Loaded Dice' and Fatty Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin in "Oh! What a Night"
 A strong, tense drama in every sense of the word, Loaded Dice" reaches a high-water mark in Pathe productions. It Is entertainments of this calibre that will set people talk ing. The story carries a punch in every scene; that is, it does not de- pend upon one or two situations to carry the interest, but offers tense moments in intending succession throughout the story. It has it's we'll defined heart interest and symp- athetic touches, but through it all there is strong and appealing moral that is consistently presented

SERGEANT YORK GIVES SOME DETAILS OF HIS
 FIGHT WITH GERMANS
Said That He Just Trusted in the Lords and Weded Into the Enemy-Wa Now Only
 Dream

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 6.-How he performed the feat one year ago which won him renown as one of the greatest individual fighters of the Allied armies was told for the first time today by Sergeant Alvin c. York.
 | Company G., Three Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Infantry, took up its position in the advanced lines on the night of October 7,' said York. "As a Corporal was in charge if my squad of riflemen. We were in the thickest part of the Ar goflne Forest. We did not know one direction from another, and did not know until an hour or two be- fore the attack that we were to advance at daylight.
 "There wasn't much of a bar rage: the position of the enemy was too uncertain for that. We just went ahead out of our fox holes, pushed through the underbrush and crawled up the hillside in front of us. Our platoon did not meet much trouble until. after good daylight It seems that we had stormed clear through part of the Germans, leav- ing some machine guns behind us that we did not know were there
 Resistance Was Hot'
 "We kept advancing. When the real resistance was met l saw our boys begin to fall pretty fast Ser geant Early, who was in charge of the men of my part of the line, was killed. Part of a German com pafy charged us, coming down the slope at us with their bayonets l got about 20 of them. the Ameri- ran officer told me afterward. | "I remember missing one, though. A big bunch surrendered to us and I put my men, all that were left, in charge of them while l watched for any more attacks on us.
 We started back. as near as we could figure the direction. Right away, though, German machine guns in that direction opened up on us. told my men to get the prisoners to little valley and tried to pick off the machine gum ners. I know I got some of them. The German Major, who was with the prisoners. told me not to shoot any more, that he would get them to surrender. and he did.
 Trusted in the Lord"
 That was about all there was to it. No, sir. I don't think any of them came near to getting me- I just trusted the Lord all through and I knew I was coming out safe | Well, that was year ago today After the fighting we kept pushing and pretty soon the woods began ! to thin and we had more open country to fight in. It was not so bad after that. All the time we were mixing it up with the Ger mans we kept them going; some times they were in front of us and sometimes we got around them. "They gassed me for 26 straight days. All that time my regiment was either in the front of the fight ing or else close enough to it to catch what the Germans sent over. After we reached the river the reg iment was relieved
 York came to Nashville today to receive a team of mules, wagon and farming implements presented to him at the Tennessee State Fair by admiring fellow Tennesseans.
 The Argonne is now nothing but dream. he says. and all that mat ters is that farm in the hills and the little wife who is helping him fight the high cost of living.

 The picturization of Eight Bells is even funnier than the stage sue cess. This is natural, in view of the fact that so many more things can be shown on the screen than can be shown on the stage. In fact, this is one of the very funniest films seen in a long, long time.
