Churchill, state conserva tion chairman,' writes: , "I cannot tell you adequately how grave the wheat situation is. It prows worso-daily. The little leaflet enclosed, written by myself, (reprinted from the Portland "Grade teachers' bulletin) will help you to understand. We must cut our use ef wheat in half, in homes to lMi pounds per wook per person on the average But the poor in big cities, and other classes, Can scarcely do this ao suddenly without great suffering. We who have inure must do part of , their share, too. Our own tables must abolish, wheat until tho harvest, or do as nearly that as physically possible and maintain health. "The Irish have lived largely on potatoes, tho Scotch on oats, the Japa ireao on rice, and our own New Eng land and southern ancestors on corn. Wo have all four. Surely wo can savo the wheat for the boys in the trenches aud for the allies who are holding the hard pressed lines yonder in France, until wo come. The wheat is danger ously near flailing.

STRAUS PrtiiJent Amirican Society j'r Thrift In the prac tice of thrift, it is an inspi ration to know that its bless ings come not alone to him whp practices it. . For exam ple, when wc buy , a single thrift stamp, we not only give benefit to ourselves h nancially and mentally, but we buy a tent-pole or five tent pins; a belt, liat-cord, shoe laces or identification t:ur .for some. American soldier. Two thrift stamps will buy a pair of woolen gloves; four will buy two pairs of canvas IcKgings; six will niv five pairs of woolen socks or three suits of summer underwear and twelve thrift stamps will buy a steel helmet. One waf saving stamp will buy a hundred cartridges,. a cartridge belt or a scabbard for a bayonet ; two will uy two pairs of woolen brece es or two woolen shirts; two and a half, a gas mask and thin probably will save some soldier's life. Three war saving stamps, mean a soldier's overcoat or two woolen service coals for some boy at the front.

That is why the fact that we are learning so welt our lesson of thrift in this country, is cause for great rejoicing. At the present time, we are in the midst of a great Liberty Bond cam paign. Has it ever occurred to you what a tremendous inspiration one now receives in the practice of thrift as a result of the national effort? Soldiers are marching, bands are playing, flags are waving I On every hand we see billboards and signs. Our newspapers and magazines are full of it. We see it in the movies, and along the thoroughfares of the great cities it flashes to us in electric words; "Save I Save I Save! Thrift will win the war I" What a tremendous impulse all huniiity is giving to each of us to day to be thrifty I If ever there was a time when it was easy to practice thrift, that day lias arrived. Not that mere saving is by any means the sum total of thrift, for such is r.ot the case. Saving money is but one step of the way, but it is the first step and it is the process of saving money that strengthens the will. , This is the golden hour for all who would be thrifty. Let a Liberty Bond be the key that shall open for you the gateway to the Land of Thrift, wherein dwell contentment, prosperity and success. mZ 4- aiiada, Na-.v euln,.
