An othor 2B0.00O must be added In men who volunteered their services to their country. For their nbaenco from th' employment tho nat.-on muni strike n balance In Its uia1 workaday opera tions, for while thaae men are undei nrniB they cannot contrlbuto to ihr wealth of the country by their croat Ive labor. The slmnle statement thak we hnvi 1,260,000 men now serving their ling is not adequate to express tho dimension of the Kan their, withdrawal from th economic life of the nation has made in our industrial machinery nnd which to reWace will require Increased en ergy on the part of those who remain behind. Cold mathematics, however, will convoy to our mind what loss the peacoful development of the nation has sustained through tho diversion of so many mon to non-productive activ ities. Assuming the average wage of those men to ho ?2 a day, tho loss of wage hire Is $2,000,000 dally, or $2,750,000,000 per annum, basing tho calculation on 300 working days a year. Assuming Hint for each dollar an employer re ceives out of this labor ho hires a gross return of $3 and wo confront tho loss of $1,125,000,000 every year it is noces 8ary to maintain such a largo army In tho field. It Is true that these mon receive compensation from tho covern ment, yet tho offset from this is slicht. for tho mon still are not creating any wealth; they cannot do so by tho very nature of their occupation. What creative energy, therefore, that Is lost must be mado up from sonic whero clso and It Is hero whoro the conservation of human energy fills the gap, but before It Is filled the nation must adjust Itself to tho changed con dltlons. It Is this process through which we nrcJp passing a course un avoidable nnd which all tho other com batant nations havo either already ex porlencod or nro now In tho process of oxperlon'clng.

MMMBB " Q WILL POWER ALWAYS COUNTS Well to Realize One Has Got to Want Things Hard In Order to , . Get Them. Just wanting something' will rarely obtain It for you. You've got to go out nnd get it for yourself. In nn nrticlo called "Increase Your Driving Power" In tho American Magazine, n writer .quotes nn nuthorlty as saying: i "After nil. a man does wlint ho Jwnnts to do. Therefore, lie must bo tnuglit ns a child nnd he must loam In ndult years to teach himself, to want to do tho right thing nnd the big thing nnu to want it so hard that ho Is bound to arrive nt the wlshcd-for goal. Anybody can sit down nnd sny, 'I'd like to bo tho bend of my company, or tho president of the United States, or the best snlesmnn In tho world.' That much is easy. It is exactly what tho baby does when It sits on tho lloor nnd squalls for n piece of candy. But It Is a very different thing from wanting something so much that one is willing to set nbout it and undertake at onco tho doing of tho Impossible. "Tho troublo with tho average man is that ho does not want things hard enough. And one reuson for this Is that ho has not been taught the value of tlds 'wanting.' He has not been shown In his schools and In his life that mnn has tremendous resources for wanting and for willing, nnd that, n,s ho continues to will and will, ho will llnd himself unknown and unsuspected layers of energy. There Is aiwujs enough energy to supply u man's de sires for success if ho will tap the source of It." PILLORY DREADED BY ALL Ancient Form of Punishment That Frequently Was Made Savage If Victim Was Unpopular. It Is less than a cjntury ago th pillory was abolished in Britni:. Tho pillory, as u form of tnituiv v known all over Kurope and, iroin necoVmts, it had a larger history In c; i many than in this country. Its form is, of course, familiar to nil Tbe culprit, generally a Timln.il though men were often put In the j, " lory for political olrenso.-, u ,n placed on u platform, und LI., lu .id ; ..

Occasionally u prominent and In lluontlnl personality would Joneod to detention In tho pillory, ns ,.. Mum vuiuium;, uui, lonunaieiy for his lordship, tho punishnTent was never carried out. Strango scenes were often witnessed at tho pillory, ns In 17519, when tho offender was supplied with refreshments during his Impris onment, and protected from tho weath er by means of nu umbrella. London Tit-Bits. Bakers Will be Licensed. Prosidont Wilson yesterday issued a proclamation plnclng bakers under govornmont license December 10th and subjecting them to food adminis tration rules proscribing Ingrodlonts and weights of loavos. Prlcos will not be fixed, but with the standnrlzatlon it is expected tht competition and sim plification of distribution will force down prices for pound loaves to 7 or 8 cents. ' Fancy broads will bo eliminated. and tho multitude of sizes now pro- dufced will bo reduced to four with; standard ingrGdlonts. The weights! will be one pound, ono and a half, two and four pounds. Tho loaves will ' havo a croaso In tho middle to permit j their salo in halves. In baking onlyi three pounds of sugar will be allowed for a barrel of flour Instead of an av j crago of six pounds now used, nnd( two pounds of vegctablo oil shortening must bo used lnstend of six pounxls of lard or oil. Tho food administration expects to save 100,000,000 pounds of sugar and tho same amount of lard In 1 this way. Bakers may uso only skim- j mod milk for bread and rolls will bo permitted only If mado in standard' sizes and of regulation bread dough. t 1V II r4 ? John Bryan, field man for the Amer ican Beet Sugar Co., stated yesterday that ho expected to start In a few days writing contracts for 1918. Tills would indicate that tho Lincoln coun ty territory will be divided about tho same next year as this year, with some doubt of tho erection of a factory at Hnrshoy until after the close of tho war. Mr. Bryan stated that the price of beets next year will be eight dol lars per ton for those hauled from tho field and nine dollars for those that aro siloed. "Ono hundred seventy-six thousand, three hundred oleven,'" that's tho ans wer to date of Nebraska to the pledge to assist tho government in Its con servation of food, and in every mail additional cards aro arriving at the Omaha offico from ovory (portion of the state. By tho time the final count Is mado, it is estimated that more than 200,000 families will have pledged their assistance to the government at this critical juncture.
