Htf Gauntry Tie of Thee, tweet Land

: STILL WE MUST SAVE.
"The woman who wastes an ounce
of breed sins against the need of
the world," said Gipsy Smith, In June.
Taut is still true today, though wheat
bo flowing into the bins and mills in
undreamed-of floods. The God of
harvests has been generous with great
gifts, but the. need of the world is
greater than tbe harvest unless treas
ure be made of every part of It. We
have given a demonstration in sharing
that will be to our everlasting praise,
. but that part of it is only the first
net. Not only this coming ytiar but
every year until the war ends and
a sorely stricken world' gets on its
feet again, mujst we show the stuff
we are made of by giving until wt
have not enough for ourselves unless
wo save and save again. It is the
least we can do. Our fields are un
acquainted with' the Imrvests that so
much of Europe knows, harvests that
are like to break the hearts of the
world, thoy are so costly.
In thankfulness for what wo have
missed we should study and contrive
to supply our needs with little, that
wo may have much to spare. We
hove not yet met the real test, but we
shall know how to meet it when it
comes. . The world's freedom is
worth It.
BEWARE THIS PROPAGANDA!
Several articles have recently
. crawled into the press to the effect
that, even admitting thoy will not con
quer ull they set out to conquer, the
German people are elated because of
their belief that after the war the
banner of Crcut Britain must play a
role secondary to the United Stales.
There is n suspicion of Gorman
propaganda In articles of that sort,
und the mnn who reads them should
dismiss them from his mind. News
papers should be chary in giving space
t such articles. If the insidious
Germun propagandists could create
jealousies among the allies by this
sort of talk they would achieve their
purpose, or these jealousies
speedily disrupt the co-ordination
nmong Germany's enemies which has
required too much punishment to bring
about, and for which Clcmencoau, the
French premier, is so largely respon
sible. The American people are not
fighting this war with any thought of
the advantages they may gain over
Great Britain. To suggest it is to in
sult the nation,

HATS OFF. TO THE TYPOGRAPH
ICAL UNION. ,
(By Theodore Roosevelt.)
Thd published reports of the Inter
national Typographical Union, issued
from Indianapolis, make a very , re
markuble showing, and put that orga
nization high on the honor 'roll of
America for the great war.
Forty-one ' hundred " journeymen
members of the union and 700 ap
prentices are now in the military and
naval forces of the United States und
Canada. Seventy-five members have
already puid, with their lives, for their
devotion to their country. The union
has paid $22,000 mortuary henef its to
the widows, orphans and mothers of
these men. The uiiion, through its
executive council, has invested $110,000
In the Liberty limns and subordinate
unions and individual members have
Invested rnore than $3,000,000 in the
Liberty loans. .
These are wnt-time activities. Dur
ing the same period the International
Typographical Union hns continued al
Its ordinary benefit works. It hns
paid over $,'150,000 to 1500 old age
pensioners, over $:i00,000 in mortuary
benefits and $170,000 to the Union
Printers Home at Colorndo Springs.
Every dollar has been paid by mem
bers of the organization in the form of
regular dues and assessments. Th
union neither solicits nor accepts con
tiibutious to Its benefit funds.
During the same period the union
has expended only $1200 fur strike
expenses. I he union acts in a thor
oughgoing, patriotic fashion, on the
conviction thijt there should be no
strikes or lockouts during the war. Uts
officers regard themselves as volun
teers in the army for the preservation
of industrial peace, at least for the
duration of th; war, and I hope for
long after the wnr!
Such conduct offers a striking con
trast to the action of certain corpora
tions, which during this year, have re
fused to permit their employes to or
ganize, tabor hns as much light ns
capital to organize, it is tyranny to
forbid the exercise of this right, just
iirhti08 's tyranny to misuse the power
of the United Stales do not believe
in lyianny nnd do believe in co-operation.
The International Typographical
Union has offered an admirable ex
ample of Americanism und patriotism.
Its attitude is typical of the attitude
of organized labor generally. Hats off
to the workingmen nnd working wo
man of the United States. Copyright

WHERE IS YOUR GAIN
.'V - .. '"''
Suppose you worked hard, nnd had gotten, together n bushel
or more of very fine grain, and the grain wus very fine
and costly. WBere would you put it ? In itn old stovo, or
hide it in some out-of-the-way place ? If you did it would
probably be destroyed by rats or mice insects would make
it worthless; fire destroy it, or somebody might steal it!
No! You would keep that costly grain in the safest place, -so
you cbuld plant it and reap the best possible returns
from it.
How about your hard-earned dollars ? You most assuredly
want them in a SAFE. Wny not keep them in this Bank? '
We watch your dollars all the time; and you can get them
at any time. '
