FAST DRIVING
AND TIRE CONSERVATION

SAAND AAAeA1 1A4AO1V
1T is SPEED CRAZED YOUTH
that does most of the fast driving
in these days of attempted tire con-
servation. To cure the malady why
not confscate the family bus when
son John is allowed to, or does,
drive it at from so to 70 miles an
hour. The confscation of few cars
would conserve more tires, result in
more sane driving, than the ration
ing of gasoline.
HITLER IS SAID TO THINK of
himself as a new Napoleon, and is
attempting to emulate that illustri-
Gus dictator. His campaigns in
Russia and Africa closely parallel
those of Napoleon. 1t is possible
st. Helena may also be his end.
BOARDING. PENNIES
THE PENNIES of that period
when / was a boy were large and
weighty, about the size of a silver
quarter, or two-bit piece, as it
was commonly known. Pennies were
not in very general circulation and
about the only use made of them
was as coin to deposit in children's
banks. In some sections of the West
as late as 1890 nickels and dimes
were almost unused, the smallest
coin in general use being the quar-
ter, and all money west of the Mis-
souri, was gold or silver. A dollar
bill was unknown. Today America
could hardly continue to function
without pennies.
Our per capita income has in
creased and our standard of living
has risen, but sales taxes have de-
pleted the source Of revenue for the
children's banks.
We hoard pennies as those Of us
west Of the Missouri formerly hoard
ed quarters.

Hungry Hummingbird

Hummingbirds have to eat
about every ten minutes during
the daytime because the energy
from their food is consumed by
the rapid beating of their wings
as fast as it is produced. In New
York recently, six hummers were
taken on a 50-minute taxi drive,
without food, from pier to the
Bronx zoo, with the result that
one died and the other five passed
into a coma from starvation.

NO TAX MONEY
FOR CIVIL FRILLS'
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

NO TAX MONEY
FOR CIVIL FRILLS'
REPRESENTATIVE CANNON of
Missouri, chairman of the appropri-
atoms committee of the house, in
recent statement said war appropri-
atoms made from June /, 1910, to
June 20, 1912, totaled 228 billion dol
lars.
That was war appropriations only
and did not include any expendi-
lures for the civil functions Of the
federal government. 1t means an
expenditure of approximately $1,000
for each man, woman and child in
the United States, a mortgage on
each family of five for close to
$4,000. 1t represents two-thirds of
all the national wealth of the ma
ton; more than four times the value
of all the farms, the livestock, poul-
try and farm buildings.
The American people do not offer
any protest against this expenditure
for war purposes. Our liberties are
worth all, and more, than any price
the war may cost. But the Amer
lean people do protest any expendi-
ture for governmental nonessentials
whether they be made by municipal,
county, state or federal govern
ments.
The war is loading us with an in
debtedness on which generations yet
unborn will be paying. We, the
American people, protest against
adding to that terrific cost any sin
gle dollar of other expenditures
that is not absolutely essential. Such
nonessential expenditures are being
made by every governing body in
the United States, those of the towns
and cities, the counties, the states
and the federal government.
That 228 billion dollars is ten
times our total expenditure for the
World war. 1t is a far greater sum
than the cost of operating the fed
eral government throughout the en-
tire period since it was founded, in
Guiding the cost of all previous wars,
and the end is not in sight.
Money to pay for the war, yes,
but no money for frills in the civil
operations of any of our governing
bodies is the edict of the American
people. ~.

INITIATION
IN COUNTRY AREAS

PEOPLE of the country commu-
mites are experiencing some effects
of the imitation they are talking
about in Washington. l live in a
small place in the center of great
fruit and vegetable section. Here
year ago you bought head of let
tuce for two and three cents. Now
you pay Is cents and up. All other
vegetables are proportionately high.
That is an evidence of imitation.
Houses that were renting year
ago for from $40 to $25 month are
now renting for from $50 to SIS. An
other evidence of initiation caused by
the war and the vast government
expenditures that war makes nee
essary. Price ceilings are helping
on some few food items but by no
means all of them. Victory gar
dens are today a real asset.
