Hut. If we are prepared to work
hard, to ptnd wisely, to aava regular
ly, to cut down waste and extrava
gance and invest aecurely, shorter
working hour will become possible,'
wages w ill be really and not nominal
ly hisher and prosperity will be our
national portion.
One of the greatest aids to the fur
therance of this program Is consistent
nd regular investment In govern
ment savings securities: War Savings
Stamps, Thrift Stamps, Savings Cer
tificates and Liberty Bonds offer op
portunity for the putting aside of any
sum of money, no matter how great
or small. They are sate, the bear
high interest and Investment in them
means new capital, new opportunity
and new prosperity for the people of
the nation. ,
WASTE COUNTRY MADE RICH
PKOOrtTlOX AMI THE II. C. L.
The prospect of every American
having a fair share ot the things nec
essary to sustain life and make it
worth living, depends in part upon the
speed and quality in which those
things are produced. It we were able
for a certain length of time to devote
the whole of our productive powers
to making useful things and nothing
else, their cost would be reduced, in
spite of the machinations of the prof
iteer, to a price which would enable
everyone to have all required.
It is obvious that the wage earners
of the country constitute the chief
market to which producers must look
for the purchase of the goods produc
ed. In the main, it is necessary that
we produce for ourselves and for oth
ers such things as we require, such as
food, shelter and clothing. If a suf
ficiency of such things were produced
their prices would fall to a level where
all might obtain what their necessities
demanded.
The cheaper these things become,
the less they take up ot the wages of
the workers, the more money is freed
for the purchase of other things and
a demand is created for fresh com
modities. This demand furnishes
further employment and additional
wages. So this cycle continues to re
volve indefinitely around Production.
By increasing production the cost of
living is not only decreased but em
ployment is augmented and money is
liberated to command less necessary
things.
If we do not adopt every means of
increasing output, it we do not abol
ish waste and diminish unnecessary
expenditure, we must gradually im
poverish ourselves as a nation. Vn
less we gfve a larger share of our na
tional effort to production of necessi
ties and save on luxuries that more
capital can be released for plants and
machinery for further production,
conditions will be produced which
will tend to lower the general stand
ard of life of the wage earners in
spite of higher nominal wages.
Enormous Rubber Plantation in 'Su
matra Developed by American
Industry In Ten Years.
Perhaps the mot surprising thing
about the enormous ruhher plantation
that covers nearly 100,000 acres In
Sumatra, recently described by a
writer In Commerce anil Finance, Is
that less than ten years ago one could
have traveled these acres without see
ing a rubber tree. The land was ac
quired by an American company, and
the rubber trees followed. Today they
count up to something like S.iHMVkH).
tended by an army of about 16,tH)0 la
borers, most of whom come from the
neighboring Island nf Java. The land
rises to a slight eminence overlooking
the sea of rubber trees which stretches
for miles In every direction, with here
and there glimpses of the fine roads
over which motor cars travel the plan
tation on business or carry passengers
between the bunRilows of the esrute
managers. SIxty-Bve miles of narrow
gauge railway run through this re
markable rubber forest, with every
tree raised in response to the twen
tieth century commercial demand for
rubber.
Newspaper Men "Struck."
Probably the first "strike" ever
called at a convention of the American
Federation of Labor, and against that
body, was called by the newswriters
assigned to cover the sessions. During
the course of the convention one of the
delegates innde criticisms of the way
In which the convention news was hnn
died. The newspaper men Immediate
ly filed out of the hall and sent word
to the convention thst they had gone
on strike. While certain delegates
were branding the newswriters as "bnl
shevikl," others Insisted that they form
a committee and present their de
mands. The demands were formulated
and presented. The convention granted
them by acclamation, and the reporters
were given an ovation when they filed
back to their desks. So it was settled.

Luare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
In Grateful Memory.
Marshal Foch li taking a particular
satisfaction at this time of the con
summation of a great victory to pay
homage to the fame of Lattice Hoche,
the fatuous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
ly to command that army of the-Sara-bre-et-Meuse
which, though at first
disorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped, performed the brilliant seven
months' campaign which established
the reputation of French arms on both
sides of the Itliine. To this day at
Welssenthurm stands a monument to
Its memory and that of Its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch
takes pleasure In recalling Lain re
Hoche to his countrymen. Of Hoche
It Is said that he once proudly wrote
to the minister for war of bis dsy,
"Je suls la patrle." The French of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en
thusiastically as the contemporaries of
Hoche and Knuget de Lisle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express It so tersely, Foch
Is "la patrle" lu the sense that be cer
tainly stands for them as "la Vlctolre"
personified.

High Heels Lessen Vitality,
nigh heels prevail In spite of the
promise of something wiser In build
coming Into popular fsvor. Yet, to
quote a well-known doctor: "No wo
man pretends that she Is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them, for the body Is thrown out of
pnlse ntid the action of the feet Is re
stricted. More serious thun her awk
wardness Is the eventunl Injury to her
health. For in the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward, depressing the chpst;
breathing Is interfered with, and that
means poorer blood and a final de
crease In vitality. This comes grad
utilly, hut it Is Inevitable when a wo
man persists . In wearing very high
heels. Her heels should conform to
the arch If her Instep." Exchange.
Use for Surplus Munitions.
An Interesting suggestion has been
made by a prominent Swiss meteorol
ogist and physicist. M. de Quervaln of
Zurich, to the effect that the vast
stores of munitions collected In the bel
ligerent countries during the last four
years be utilized to advance the cause
of science Instead of being merely fir
ed off to make a Roman holiday, or
else sunk In deep waters fo avoid the
Intent dnngers which reside In them.
By detnnlng these explosives In defin
ite quantities, at definite places, and
at definite times whose dates are an
nounced In advance, a possibility
would be presented for the solution of
many Interesting problems In physics
and meteorology. The project might
advantageously be carried out In this
country.
Cryptic Cable.
For smartness the following will he
hard to bent : A well-known person
age In Devonshire, England, received
a cable from his soldier son In Meso
potamia containing only three words:
"Two John twelve." After much puis
zllng the meaning dawned upon him.
Taking down his Bible he turned up
the Second Epistle of St. .lohn and
rend the twelfth vese, which runs as
follows: "Having many things to
write unto you, I would not write with
pnper and Ink, but I trust to come
unto you and speak face to face, that
our Joy may be full." Ills son was on
his way home to England. '
Bridegroom Grows In Importance.
The war has given the bridegroom
a glgnlfkan'.-e he never before pos
sessed. Formerly wedding notices'
were devoted to the bride, her trout
i seau, her bridesmaids and her family.
The bridegroom was mentioned only In
cidentally, If at all. Ily reason of his
rank, he has become one of the most
Important persons in the alliance.
