If trousers could be abolished the
hip pocket menance would disap
pear. _
The man who tries to steer a
middle course is protected from
neither side.
You never impress anyone with
your smartness when you tell
about it yourself.
CerWinly the administration and
congress make mistakes, but their
average performance is high and
we all have to back up the fight for
liberty. _
While everybody knows this
country was woefully lacking in
preparedness in the organization
and equipment of its military forces
when war was forced upon us,
there is at least a crumb of com
fort in the knowledge that we were
ready;for the great emergency in
at least one respect. No where
else in the world, probably, could
any nation have found at its instant
command a resource of such mag
nitude and efficiency as the lumber
industry of America, and nowhere
else could there have been accom
plished such miracle-like prodigies
of building as this country has seen
in the first months of the war with
Germany.
THE NEED or ECONOMY
When we put a million and a half
soldiers in the field, we withdraw
those men from productive inter
prises. . They do not while they
are actually in training or in serv
ice produce anything. They do,
on the other hand, consume much.
There is nothing more expensive
on earth than to support and main
tain a great army in the field, es
specially if it is on the fighting line.
The attrition of supplies and every
thing else is tremendously great
when we have a fighting army in
the field.
America is the one great re
maining storehouse in the world of
supplies and credit. We must
maintain and make effective as
possible our own soldiers and the
solniers of those nations who are
fighting for us. We must there
fore draw as little as, possible upon
our common store of supplies and
money. The more we lessen our
domestic demand, the more we can
contribute to the support and ef
fectiveness or our allied armies.
Economy is now a national duty,
such a duty upon the people at
home as fighting is upon those
Americans who are bravely offer
ing their lives for the honor of
Ame/ica and the preservation of
Uoariy aud justice.
