Saving and Saving
and Lending
’ Sir William Goode? of the British
1 Food Ministry, says that, from July.
1917, to April. 1918. the United States
; "sported to the allies 80.000,000 hush
sla of wheat products Os this it is
Aft.<105,600 buslysls jvrre
senud vmuii.ary sacrin. m by < the
•American people in tholr consumption
of wheat.
There la a triple economy a triple
aspect to this saving of wheat. It.
saved wheat for our army and the
armies of our allies; it saved money to
the American people, and tor the most
part this money went for the pun base
Os government war securities
There is another saving still; this
sort of sacrifice and economy is help
ing* win the war—shorten th,* war—
with the resultant saving of soldiers'
lives.
What SVe Fight For
The high aims of America and her
allies are well expressed In President
Wilson's greetings to Franco on Bas
tite day:
"As France celebrated our Fourth
' ot July, so do we celebrate lp*r Four
teenth. keenly conscious of a com
radeship of arms and of purpose of
which we are deeply proud The sea
seems very marrow today France is
so close neighbor to our hearts. The
war is being fought to save ourselves
from intolerable things, but it is also
being fought to save mankind We
extend our hands to each other, to
the great peoples with whom we are
associated: and to the people every
where who love right and prize justice
as a thing beyond price, and conse
crate ourselves once more to the noble
enterprise of peace and justice, real
islng the great conceptions that have
lifted France and America high among
the free peoples of the world. The
French flag flies today from the staff
of the White House, and Vmet lea is
happy to do honor to that fiat."
From th* battle fields in Franco
there comes an unspoken call that
•hould And an answer in every Amer
lean heart. The recent great events
in Europe, the successes of American
arms In the fields of France should
epur every American to greater effort
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field of
honor in the line of duty and for our
country’s’ cause should be a call to us
for every sacrifice and every exertion
to aid the cause for which our sol
diers are fighting, for which our sol
diers have died
Increase production, decrease con
sumption, save and lend to the gov
arnment. Evsfry cent lent to the
United States is used to support,
strengthen, and aid our soldiers in
France.

THE PEOPLE AND WAR
TAXES
More than $3,500,000,000 has been
collected in internal revenue taxes, in
eluding income and excess’-profits
taxes, for the fiscal year This exceeds
by over $100,000,000 the estimates
made a few months .ago and by over
$200,000,000 the estimate:! made a year
ago when the revenue measures oe:<
passed by Congress
The success in collecting this large
revenue is attributed V the Treasury
Department to the patriotism and co
operation of the American people m

With another credit of $100,000,000
to Italy and $9,000,000 more to Bel
gium the - creditw advanced by the
United States to our allies now total
$6,380,000,000.
AMERICAN AND GERMAN
FINANCES
>. Pessimistic Americans who view
L . with alarm our increasing national ob
’• llzationtk may derive a great deal of
comfort from a comparison of the
financial condition of the United
0 States contrasted with that of Ger
q many.
The total resources of the United
States are estimated at about $250.-
'■ 000,000,000; our annual earnings are
’ estimated at about $50,000,000,000. Our
* national debt, Including the Third
Liberty Loan, may be put around $12,-
000,000,000.
Before the war our government
. was spending about $1,000,000,000 a
s year. When the war is ended, inter
s est charges, less the interest collected
s from our loan to our allies, govern
- ment insurance expenses, and other
f necessary expenditures growing out
r of the war may conservatively be
r estimated at something like $1,000,000,-
r 000. We are confronted, therefore,
when peace comes, with raising only
I a couple of billions a year revenue, a
r slight task for a nation of such tre
f mendous wealth, capacity and re
s sources.
i The resources of Germany before
; the war were estimated to be SBO,-
< 000,000,000. The annual expenditures
then of the Imperial government were
about $800,000,000. Her debt now is
$.30,000,000,000, and her resources and
man-power have been severely im
paired. After the war she is con
fronted with additional expenditures
f rowing out of the war totaling some
4,000,000,000.
1 The Interest of her war debt, even
• if the debt, grows no larger, will be
3 about $1,500,000,000. Although she is
■ niggardly In her pensions to private
3 soldiers and their families, $1,000,000,-
' &00 a year would hardly suffice to pay
a bven hei‘ injured and
1 the fam! of her soldiers who have
been killed. Her war debt must be
9 paid some time and a sinking fund of
t' 5 per cent, would adw $1,500,000,000 to
3 her annual taxation. Here is a total
* increase of $4,000,000,000 all dtle to the
war.
3 Os course bath the United States,
and Germany may greatly increase
s their debts, but the Increases will not
’ change the relative situations.
; The German government has drain
ed the German people of their gold,
even their jewels and heirlooms, and
yet the Imperial Bank of Germany
now has but. little over $500,000(000 of
gold in its valuts. The United States
has made no special effort to obtain
t gold, has made no call upon the peo r
ple tor the precious metal, and yet to
day has in its treasury valuts prac
tically $2,500,000,000 of gold coin and
. bullion.

Wonders will never cease. Smiler
had obtained a “shop” atthe local
theatre and the day after his first per
formance he was telling an interested
company of his great success.”
‘Why, my dear fellows, the audience
were glued to their seats!” he said
delightedly.
One of the company, however,had
been to see Smiler before and spoiled
toe effect by saying:
“Well, that certainly was a neat way
j of keeping them there.”
The kindergarte.. children had
: planted one day a row of red beans,
! another day aro of white beans.
I “Today,” said tl j kindergartner, “we
| are going to plant a row of black
I beans.”
j George exclaimed excitedly, "Oh,
no. xve can”, de that, for then we’ll
have the German flag. I’ll try and get
some blue unes from the groc-.\”
Needless to say, he was much sur
prised, when after an absence of a. fw
days, he saw that the beans had com
up green.
“My dear, the doctor says I’m in
need of a little change.”
“Then ask him to give it to you. He’s
got the last of mine.” —Baltimore
American.
“Dq you believe in evolution?”
"Can’t help believing.” replied Sena
tor Sorghum, “after seeing how many
varieties of politicians a bull moose
can develop.”—Washington Star.
Doctor —"Did that cure for deafness
really help your brother?”
Pat—“ Sure enough; he hadn’t heard
a sound for years, and the day after
he took that medicine he heard from
a friend in America.”— New York
American.
The Knut—"lt’s simply absurd!
What’s the use of showing me low
cut collars like these? Do you mean
to say you keep nothing taller?"
Shop girl—‘ I’m sorry, but the next
size is cuffs.”—Cassell’s Saturday
Journal.
"Charley, dear.” said young Mrs.
Torkins in a tone that was kind but
firm, "did you tell me you were up
late, last night with a sick friend?”
"Yes.”
"What made your friend feel sick?
Was he a heavy loser?”—Washington
Item.
"James,” said Mrs. Mellow to the
man servant, "ran you find out
whether the ti. -.ed salmon was all
eaten last night? I don’t want to ask
the new cook, because she may .ave
eaten it, and then she, would cel un
comfortable.”
‘ Please w ma’am.” replied James, "the
new cook ate all Die salmon, an’ no
matter what you was to say to her you
couldn’t make her more uncomfortable
than she is now’."—Baltimore Ameri

Note from the "movies”: A well
known actress has recently been ■’film
ed"' for Henrik Ibsen's “A Doll’s House"
In announcing the new film, a provin

"It Is true,” severely said the lady of
high ideals to the successful writer,
“that you have gained much prosperity
by your writings, but you have written
nothing that will live ” Perhaps not.”

comes to a question of which shall live,
myself or my writings. I never hesi

WHEN I AM SERGEANT
Song of the Training Camp
B.Y PRIVATE 8. MANN,
Second Casual Company, First Regi
ment, O. T, C.
Today I am only a private,
That everyone orders about.
When the sergeant says “Hep!“
I use up all my "pop,”
And I jump at the corporal’s shout,
• But presently I shall arrive at my
Turn to ’ j sergeant, and oh boy!
And the sergeant of today,
Will be a private, and say
I am sure it will fill me with joy.
I'll make him stand at attention
The way that he does to me
And I’ll give him a call
If he blunders at all
Or if he errs in the slightest de
gree;
I'll use all my native inventions
To work him with vigor and vim.
And whatever he did
To keep me on the grid
I shall certainly do it to him.
9G
For it Is all tn the game we are learn
ing
And it isn’t in fun we know, *
Though this turn about stuff,
May appear a bit rough.
It is the way to make officers
grow;
It means that the stripes we are earn
ing
Will represent- labor and sweat.
And the sergeant just now.
Will have sweat on his brow
When I am a sergeant, you bet!

TRENCH AND CAMP
Our Weekly Fable In Slang
By BARTON RICHARDS
There may be something easier to do
than criticise but right off hand, I
, wouldn’t know what it was. It takes
[ a little grey matter to ride a mule, or
harness a goat, it also requires some
[ little brain action to run a flivver,
but to criticize requires nothing but
an extended length of tongue, a small
■ audience and a great deal of staying
power.
Ever since Eve developed a taste for
apples and lost out in the Garden of
■ Eden, the critic bar been present.
’ Whether of not women are the worst
critics or not enters not into this ex
position, but the fact of the matter is
that the day Eve took a chunk out
[ of tv at pippin n arks d'.v of the first
; critic, for Adam took exception to her
act .and right there is where it started.
Most of these old boys that did some
thing real had a bunch of harpies
1 hanging around that took the joy out
of life for them and threw a wet blan
ket on their plans. Ix>ok at Chris Co
‘ lumbus.
; When Chris was a kid he had the
i idea that some of these old fogies who
had spinach on their chin and cobwebs
in their head, were all wrong in their
idea qa to what shape the world was.
According to their dope the world was
flat, and if you took your wife out for
1 a ride some Sunday afternoon, on the
briny you had to watch your step be-
, caus*‘ if you w-ent too far, you had a
good chance to reach the jumping off
place and then it was curtains for you.
This didn’t listen suite 100 per cent
to Chris and instead of staying out on
the square until the milkman showed
up he stayed home and did a little fig
uring on his own hook and after burn
ing the midnight oil for a few moons
he finally came to the conclusion that
If the world was flat, there Wis a din
ger of a dam some place holding all
that waer in, and he decided that rfe
was elected to find the dam.
If you have ever read history or was
erposed to it in your senool days you
probably recall how the scientists help
-1 ed him out. The only helping out they
did was to help him out of the country
and Cflris ambled over Into Spain.
C. C. must have stood ace high as a
matador for he kidded Queen Isabella
into hocking her engagement ring for
, enough kale to stake him to a boquet
of small boats and after rounding up
a crew he called for full steam ahead
After sailing quite a spell he blew into
i New York Harbor one afetrnoon in
time to get supper at Shanley's and
became a charter member of the I Told
' You So Club Maybe it wasn’t New
1 York Harbor he got into but it serves
the purpose to show you that he had
1 the heavy hunch about the shape of
the world.
You remember how "he sailed back to
Spain and showed the Wise H- Heim
ers just how sour they were and for a
short period ChHssy was ace high with
the dames. Then the knockers got
their hammers out and it wasn’t long
until Columbus had a steady boarding
house in the county hoosegow and to
insure his staying they gave him a
couple of bracelets of Bessemer’s best.
The knockers didn’t know anything
about the new world that had been
discovered and they started criticizing
the account of it, ending up their criti
cism by suggesting that Chris change
his brand of schnapps as he had prob
ably dreamed all that bunk
It’s a long way from discovering a
world to running a newspaper, and
there isn’t much connection to the two
except for Q.e fact that it shows that
the critic tribe Fill has its members
on the job. The remendy for the old
Spanish scientists would have been
to have given them a ride over to the
new land aad showed them the goods
just like Dennis X. Mudde was shown
how a newspaper is gotten, together
and got cured of criticizing.
Dennie was one of these worthy cit-
Ixeus of which every town has a goodly

“These One One Hour Lectures’’ O~der Sergeant: The aluminum articles |

quickly while the fork has four points to consider and the k nfe is a sharp sub
ject '•‘•susalon.
• slather and his one favorite indoor
sport v.as taking a wallop at the news-
i paper In his town was the issue that
carried his aricles. t
Oh, yes, he wrote some. When the
town council decided to make a few
of his kind come across with a few
double eagles for a new school or two,
Dennis immediately set himself down
and in true Websterian style unloaded
. a scathing rebuke to those "pilferers
; of the public moneys," and then mailed
a hundred copies to his friends show
ing what a beautiful style of writing
he had.
i Outside of this one issue the local
scribes never got out a regular paper
to her D. X. M. explain it. Their
spelling was atrocious, and Dennis had
the goods on them. They often put in
a letter where it shouldn’t be. What
was a family newspaper far if it could
n’t act as a guide in orthography?
Tfie climax came though when Den
nis submitted an article one afternoon
on the Beauties of Living Next to a
Brewery and as the newspaper didn’t
5 have enough copy the next day they
slipped the article in. To Muddes’
unutterable disgust they left out a
couple of letters in one word and forgot
to run his name at the head of the ar
ticle and you should have heard him
rave.
The proofreader must have been
drunk, the editor was weak-minded to
; place the article where he did, the lin
otype man was an imbecile to run
stuff in that shape and the pressman
must have learned to run a press out
on the farm. What Dennis didn’t say
about the filthy sheet as he called it,
would have gone in the fly leaf of a
mosquito’s diary and he shined up his
plug kelly and started down to clean
the newspaper joint out.
He got his first wind on his tirade
and the editor, in that slow nonchal
ant way editors have of doing, put up
his mitt, and said, "Mudd, you've been
panning us hard for slipping up a little
now’ and then and I’m going to take
you through the plant and show you
x hat it means to get out a daily news
paper." "Fire,” thinks Dennis and the
trip was on.
The first place they visited was the
linotype men. and about that time of
the day the linotype men were as busy
as a. hen on a hot griddle. Every man
1 was in high speed and the noise sound
ed like a nest of Browning machine
guns. The next place they visited was
the proofreader and the pile of proofs
this dude had looked like an accumu
lation of all the clippings Dennis had
ever seen From there they eased into
the editorial rooms and watched the
city editor raving over the way some
would be Thackerays were turning in
their stuff and as Dennis belonged to
the bast church in town the language
was a little strenuous for him.
The next place they gave the once
was the composing room and to watch
these Isds making up the forms was a
little different than Mudd had imagin
ed and when he saw the boys make the
mats and make the lead forms, sweat
ing like a bull he decided that moving
pianos was child’s play to it.
Pretty soon the pressmen started the
big presses and after watching the
pressmen taking care of his press like
a mother takes care of her child, the
Editor called the trip off and naked
our friend what he thought of it. With
a sad wistful smile creeping over his
lovely map Dennis turned to the man
who he had always thought was a rel
ative of Blue Bear and said. "Ed, I'm
through. I had a bum steer I thought
I knew what you were up against in
this newspaper business and I made a
double-barreled burro out of myself
telling you how to do It, but from this
; on the Great Sphinx will be a phono
graph alongside of me when newspa
pers are up for criticism.
Morale: Don’t criticize the tea; you
may be pale and weak yourself some
day.
for the tennis courts the work on
building two courts has been handi
capped. The work will start this
week and within a few days, the
courts will he finished.
