CONSERVE ON THE TRIFLES
One thing we stay-at-homes can all
do in addition to any other things we
are doing to help win the war, and
that is conserve in the littre things
Many people are cheerfully eating
various food substitutes when they
would prefer the diet to which they
are accustomed, or are making their
suits serve them a little longer than
they would have considered possible
even a year ago, and then are spend
ing dollars and dollars on the little
things that they could no without eas
ily. We hear so often the remark,
"oh, .this little bit won't count." We
wish to state mat emphatically that it
does count. A single quarter is a neg
ligible amount to the average individ
ual, and it seems to him he can waste
it with impunity. But small sum as it
is alone by itself, in the aggregate
it amouns to considerable.
The trouble with us Americans is
that we have been brought up to look
more or less contemptuously upon
"petty" economies. Eut when we con
sider that there are 130,000,000 of us,
and that the savings or waste of the
nation is but the amount saved or
wasted by the average individual mul
tiplied 100,000,000 times, trifles as
sume tremendous importance. Who of
us ever looked upon a lump of sugar
In a cup of coffee as of consequence?
Yet the government does not scorn to
limit the number of spoonsful of sugar
person is entitled to a day. When the
government considers it necessary to
limi the number of spoonsfuls of sugar j
per day lor each one of us, we may
be assured that every trifle spent for
luxuries must count for our enemies
But there, again, is anoher difficulty;
i. e.,' what shall we call luxuries?
Many of the luxuries have become
necessities to most of us in this pros
perous country.
No, we don't believe in becoming
hysterical, either. But somehow thit
whole question looks vastly different
to us since of late w-e have seen fam
ilios existing on what seems to u?
Bhockingly close to nothing a week
deny themselves what we call actua1
necessities, in order to buy one thrif!
stamp a week, "because we want tc
do our part." It is as though we gaze
upon what we have done through a re
versed telescope, and our record as
sumes much less satisfactory diraen
sions, while our id-eas concerning lux
uries and necessities undergo a change
until they approximate more nearly
those of our pioneer grandparents. Ii
It then that many familiar "necessi
thes" begin to appear superflous while
we are at war.
We are buying bond3. All well and
good. But tha Is not enough. The gov
ernment is asking also for our quar
ters caved by giving up the little un
necessary things we would otherwise
have. Every little "two bits" added
to other "two bits" makes Just "two
bits" more, and all our little "two
bits" added together increase the
force of the "punch" in Uncle Sam's
right arm, and the harder and swifter
the blows Uncle Sam can strilee the
sooner will Democracy be enabled to
deliver the knock-out blow to Autocracy.

These words, spoken by the Presi
dent on September 27. should be kept
consantly in mind bv the American
people. nen our government is bsk
ed to trade, let it find out first with
whom It is trading. Does Prince Max
imilian f peak for the German people or
for the German emperor? Is he try
ing to save a nation or to make
breathing space for an Imperiled
dynasty? When the President said
that the governments of the central
powers were "without honor and do
not intend Justice," he did not mean
by the word "govrnnrents" some
insubstantial thing. He meant individ
uals. He meant the group of men who
presume to t peak for the middle Eu
ropean nations and who were permit
ted by these nations to bring about
this war. He mean in particular one
man "of iron will" as he was describ
ed by the late Emperor Francis Jo
sephby whose actcil spoken word
war was declared. When the Presi
dent said he could not deal with men
who "observe no covenants, accept no
principle but force and their own in
terest." he meant one individual the
German emperor. While William is on
the throne of Germany the world can
feel no security.
The abdication of this man is the
only assurance of a teim of peace. It
is as surely demanded by the situation
as was the mprisonment of Napoleon
after his return from Elba. Collier's.

WE ARE ALL AGREED
(By President Wilson.)
We are all agreed tbat there can be
no peace obtained by any kind of bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments of he central empires, because
we have dealt with them already and
have seen them deal with other gov
ernments that were parties to this
struggle, at Brest-Litovsk and Bucha
rest. They have convinced ns that
they are without honor and do not
intend justice. They observe no cov
enants, accept no principle but force
and their own interest. We cannot
"come to terms" with them. They
have made it impossible. The Ger
man people must by this time be fully
aware that we cannot accept the word
of those who forced this war upon us.
We do not think the same thoughts
or speak the same language of agree
ment. Leslie's.
Not a house was found in Douia,
writes a war correspondent, that was
in a habitable condition. When the
allies pushed the Germans out of this
Trench city, the Huns gutted the city
hall of its decorations and set their
firebrands to the homes. While they
were doing this the scribesmen at Ber
lin were busy penning a note to Pres
ident Wilson, saying the German gov
ernment hoped the United States
would make no peace demands that
were "irreconcilable to the honor of the
German people." What do such peo
ple know of honor? Lincoln Star.

To Absorb Farm Loan Bond
Washington. Liberty bonds here
after will have no competition during
loan campaigns. Treasury officials
have cleared the path by absorbing
bonds issued by the federal farm loan
board. This order simultaneously
placed complete treasury control over
every issue of stock or bonds above
100.000. and in effect, the United
States treasury becomes supreme in
deciding where the nation's finances
shall be used. Officials of the farm
loan board stated there is not likely
to be any farm loan bonds offered to
the public, even through the treas
ury, until long after the war ends.
Proceeds of bonds sold last June are
believed to be sufficient to meet loan
ing requirements of the banks until
after January 1, 1919. Some main
tained the absorption of the bonds by
the treasury and the consequent
withdrawal of them from the market
would result in general restriction of
loan bank institutions. But at the
treasury it was made plain that the
slight injury thus done was negligi
ble as compared with the benefit de
rived from keeping other securities
off the market.
