Take care of the Thrift Stamps and

A mans patriotism shoulddn’t bo,
judged by the wiy he sings The Star
Spangled Banner."
Many a laiy backyard garden has
f- it the influence of the work or tight
order this summer.
The war seems to be just one drive
after another, but we’re driving the
right way. at that.
There’s a time for everything, ex
cept for the telling of your troubles
to people who are not interested in
them.
The reason why you can’t see the
silver lining behind the clouds is.
perhaps, that you wear colored
glasses. »
When a man speaks of the average
■woman he means one of those who
powder their nose at every oppor
tunity.
Fabrics used in women’s appare
are changed often but nothing has yet
b<en found to tak ? the place at the
form-fitting silk stocking.
—
A v-cnian cheeses her clothes for
appearances, while a man chooses
his for comfcrt— except when he is
given a suit by the military authori
ties.
The old-fashioned man who wore
his hair long so be would look like
a preacher now has a son who wears
Iris locks cropped close and a gun
over his shoulder.
If some of the patriots we know
measure their patriotism by the yard
stick of their own honesty, they the
-cause is lost and our country is worse
tthan beaten.
UNTIL THEN—
There’ll be no "business as usual"
until the Germans are licked.
Thoroughly licked —
Behind the lines as well as in the
trenches.
Licked till their hellishness ap
pears as vile, as hideous, as damn
able to them as it does to a civilized
■world on which they are now only
a cancerous excrescence.
Then—and not until then—can the
world of business take off the khaki
and return t o the peaceful prosecu
tion of trade.
Bnt even then, intake no mistake)
it will not be the same old world we
used to know It will be a world pur
ified by fire, clensed by privations
made better by the sacrifices that our
boys are making—our boys and those
of our Allies; by the women who are
backing up the men—and by the
loyal stay-at-homes’

I MIK MEMORIALS.
Somewhere in France there are and
there are still to be unmarked graves
innumerable, and yet the hosts of
lives given ot such a great cause must
be memorialized. Where are the rec
ords to be placed which will vouch
■ fo r what these lives have been given?
Ttie names may be found at a. future
time by a triesome search, enrolled
in public archives For the most part,
only in the minds and hearts of the
individual will si name be truly en
shrines! and honored

sections of the country, the public

The vast amount of money invest
ee <r a < emetery is more or less an
economic wastage and a continuous
public burden Wealth must not be
buried, but converted into service.
The money which would build a
mausoleum in the cemetery of a small
town could be invested in building a
stretch of roadway and providing for
its upkeep. This would insure due
credit to a former citizen and be a
practical reminder for the rider or
runner t > lead of the essential rela
tion of wealth to service.
After the war is over, there will bo
a great surplus labor supply, stores
of dynamite and squantities of struc
tual steel. Why should we not now
plan ahead to build roadways, con
du’ts. bridges, etc.. enlisting the
surplus of men and material in the
improvement of those necessary ma
terial channels? There must be for
ever afterward a freer interchange of
ideas, better avenues for the mobili
zation of whatever in industrial or
social life survives our present great
upheaval. Does not this suggest how
we may memorialize the material and
spiritual benefits of our world-wfde
struggle? The small town as well
as the large city will have opportu
nity to distribute tablets recording
the fact of great individual sacrifice.
Every’ community should be studying
how to best relate its vital sac:>.-es
to the wholesome ongoing current of
its present and future life. Why not
plan. then, to build up and support
what we need and make these me
morialize this great and costly stage
of history"

TRAINING YOUNG MEN.
Closely in line with the war depart
ment's recommendations to make the
draft ages IS to 45. with provision for
training of the younger men, is the
report of Secretary Lane’s special
committee on higher education and
industry, just made public, wherein
the Nation's need for technically
trained men is defined and a specific
higher education program urged.
The committee, which consistsed of
Fuller E. Callaway, a financier of La-
Grange, Ga.; Samuel M. Felton, direc
ior-geneial of military railways for
the war department, and President E.
A. Alderman, of the University of
Virginia, seeks to show how essen
tial it is. if the government's far
reaching military plans are to be car
ried cut successfully, that the pro
cess of higher education be maintain
ed at the highest possible efficiency.
That it is impossible to exagger
ate the importance of engineering
knowledge and skill, in the broadest
sense, is tr.e judgment of Secretary
Tone’s committee, not only directly
in the conduct of military operations,
tut indirectly in the essential war
industries, including agriculture. The
report say s -
"The engineering problems con
fronting the United States are in
definitely greater than those of any
other of the great nations. For an
average distance of more than 4.500

miles, across the continents and the
seas, we must transport all of the
1 men. munitions, and supplies which
’ are to represent us in this great
f struggle. The central powers prepar
t ed themselves for this conflict over
long period of years, and by this
’ means determined its character to
their own advantage in large meas
ure The loss by our Allies of men
* of highly specialized training in the
’ early stages of the war, and the diffi
culties in the way of recovery, leave
this nation in the position of trustee
of the only remaining sources of
r supply."
Pointing out how the war depart
’ ment has already taken steps, though
3 the establishment of the Student
1 Army Training Corps, to utilize the
' higher educational institutions in
training young men under 21, the
committee made the following recom
mendations;
"Tne peepie of the United states
1 should t cognize that the mainten
-1 nice of ’he war strength of the na
’ non in its full power demands the
utmost efforts of all existing well or
ganized and adequately equipped col
leges. universities and technical
; schools. This means ever increasing
and more devoted bodies of students
as well as faculties.
' Young people having the requisite
qualifications should heed this urgent
call of their country and. apply them
selves diligently, enthusiastically, and
in increasing numbers to the task of
preparing for the highest service of
which they are capable.
“Institutions of higher education
should adjust their courses, so far as
possible to immediate war needs and
to the demands which must inevitably
come with the establishment of
peace.
ENGLAND’S GERMAN KINGS.
Salzmann, a German military writ
er, is reported as comparing Ger
many's position now- in relation to
England as similar to the United
States during the Revolutionary War,
and warns her that Ypres will be an
other Saratoga. Salzmann must be a
i poor, student of American and Eng
lish history or he would know that
. during the Revolutionary period of
our country England was cursed with
. four Kings, two of whom were Ger
man-born and the other two. while
: l orn in England, were as arrogant
and German as their fathers. Two
or three of these men w r ere not only
vnti-British but they were lunatics.
The great masses of the people of
England were in sympathy with the
American colonists so much so that
the King, of German extraction,
couldn't get them to fight their cous
ins on this side, so he hired Hessians. ,
Had there been a simon-pure English
King on the throne no such differ
ences would ever have arisen.
England has always been the home
of liberty, where (the downtrodden
from tyranny-ridden Europe fled and
whose great desire for. freedom cul
minated in Magna Charta, and our
Declaration of Independence was only
the signing of a greater charter on
new soil. Our country w-as as truly
fighting Germans and German ideas
in those colonial days as today.
England has not received the great
credit which is her right in this war.
She has been abused as doing little,
bet Germany knows what she has ac
complished and is accomplishing, and
the Empercr would give his other
arm and anything else England want
ed if she would side-step the war at
this time.
All the German propaganda is born
of arrogant pride, lies and impotent
: rage; her whole history is one ofb
subterfuge and plunder. It is a won-I,
der that Austria does not remember I,
| how her good but helpless Queen I
•| Marta Theresa was despoiled of Sile--'
r sia by the man who became Frede-
I
rick the Great, although he had sign
ed a compact with the other sur
rounding nations that he would leave
' the Queen secure in her possessions.
Thus ever has a promise, written or |
1 oinerwise. been a “scrap of paper";
J to the German chiefs.
