SAVE PAFER
Many people, in a praisev orthy desire to pre
vent an accumulation of rub fish in their homes,
have formed the habit of b irning newspapers,
wrapping paper, paper boxek—in fact, paper in
any form when it seems nA longer of use to
them. The habit is at all tin|es a wasteful one;
at the present time it is wojse than wasteful;
it is unpatriotic. Saving pager is a war meas
ure of real importance. Sulphur, one of the
prime ingredients in the manufacture of paper,
is found only in limited quantity in this country
and is essential to the manufacture of war gases.
If we arp to furnish our troops with an ade
quate supply of war gases, wfe must consume
less paper than we have beeij in he habit of
using.
It is, however, not enough tofnse as little pa
per as possible. It is also important to save
all the paper that comes into our homes—to
turn it over to the junkman or to the Salvation
Army or some other collector instead of destroy
ing it. For waste paper can be psed in making
new paper or paper boards; and unless it is so
used, there will be insufficient i materials not
only for continuing the supply of,paper for the
ordinary requirements but also fqr meeting the
special needs of the government. Paper boxes
are being used in large quantities), for shipping
munitions and foodstuffs overseas) Paper has
been substituted very largely for cdtton in mak
ing bandages and absorbant packs!; and paper
has beeii_found useful for the manufacture of
gas masks. In short, there is need for more pa
per today than ever before, and the need can
be met only by saving.
Therefore, every householder should enforce
two rules: first, do not waste paper; secon
save your waste paper.—Youth’s Companion.

WOODROW W1LSOI
HOPE AN
THE WORLD’S
GREATEST PROMISE
Old Europe has ft lien.
The edifice upon whose constiuction and
maintenance so mu h of human toil and so
much of human blo< d have been expended has
tumbled in ruins.
It is a foolish mir d which is not awed in the
presence of such a c itastrophe.
A few brief weeks ago the concern of the
leaders of England .France, Italy and the Uni
ted States was to c: ush the military resistance
of the Governments of Germany and of Austra-
Hungary. '
And today the more anxious concern of the
victors is to preserve some substantial form of
government in the fallen empires with which to
deal.
For it is evident jhow enormous will be the
difficulties of making any kind of peace if Ger
many and Austria to the way of Russia and
there is in neither a (government which the vic
torious powers are willing to recognize and to
treat with.
In such a case tqe Governments which re
tained control of th^ir own people could only
stand by and wait for revolution to complete its
work or else attempt; the enormous task of oc
cupying and policing'Europe from the frontiers
of France to the bridgeheads of Asia and from
the Italian Alps to the Arctic Sea.
Either alternative ip a more formidable prob
lem than was the grqat war which has so dra
matically left the stage of the world.
Whichever way wej look there are only diffi
culties and perils present and to come—diffi
culties and perils which will tax statesmanship
as never statesmanship was taxed before.
And not the least df these perils is the peril
that the other States in Europe may yet be in
volved in the earthquake which is shaking to
pieces the empires ^fid kingdoms of Middle,
Eastern and Northerij Europe.
The man does not! live who can accurately
predict how far and how wide this fire of revo
lution will yet run.
Such is the stupendous threat which has ris
en from the despair-' and the agonies and the
fierce wrath of the tortured and butchered peo
ples to confront and challenge the intent and
decisions of the leaders.
In the presence o# this mighty problem, how
dwarfed have becogie those problems of war
making that have seamed so vast, and how little
and inconsequential have become all those
things upon which Sthe talkers andk writers of
the world have spent all their time and words
—the propagandas rof hate, the theoretical re
allotments of territories, the infliction of^,re
venges and punishments, the distribiitiort of
awards and spoils—all the programs and para
phernalia of the intriguing diplomacy and
grasping statesmanship which have suddenly
become so outworn, so obsolete, so helpless and
so deservedly terrified.
Now, indeed, mu^t a new statesmanship arise
to grapple with the mightier problems with the
Spirit of Revolution has conjured up from the
intolerable sufferings and the maddened des
pair of Europe’s tortured peoples.
We do not know’whether any man can lead
Europe out of its dreadful perils, but we do
know that if there is such a man, that man is
the President of the United States—not because
Woodrow Wilson is a superman or because, he
is wiser and greater than any other living man
—but because he IS the President of the United
States and can speak the voice of this free, un
selfish and mighty democracy to the peoples
who are in torment.
He is democracy’? brightest hope and most
wonderful promise today.—Atlanta Georgian.
REDEEM 'YOUR PLEDGE
Georgia has failed far behind on her War
Savings Stamp quotfe largely because the peo
ple who signed pledges, last summer to buy cer
tain amounts of Waf Savings Stamps have fail
ed to keep their pledges.
The state organization has waited until the
greater part of the |otton crop has been mar
keted and money is more plentiful, before push
ing its campaign for. the redemption of the
pledges, but it believqs that every pledge should
be redeemed in November.
Uncle Sam accepted our written promise to
invest our money in ^tamps, lending it to the
country, and a large! part of that money has
been spent on our b(|ys overseas. It is up to
the people to make good by redeeming then-
pledges, just as any tardiness man takes up his
note when it is due ojr pays off his other obli
gations.
Coupons on the Thiad Liberty Loan bonds be
come due on November 15, and thousands of
these bonds expect toi let the coupons remain
untouched instead of dashing them now. It is
suggested that an excellent way to make the
bonds earn moye mondy, and at the same f\
help the government, ittto clip the coupons, con
vert them into saving* stamps, and pin the
stamps to the bonds foil safekeeping. The cou
pons earn no interest, and the stamps do.
Uncle Sam counted jipon this money air'
iow he needs it.
