‘‘The sacrifices we are exacting
of the noble American boys who
are going to the bloody fields of
France for the lives and liberty of
us who stay at home call to us with
an irresistible appeal to support
them with our most earnest efforts
in the work we must do at home.’’
—Secretary McAdoo.
OUR WAR AIMS.
“What we demand in this war,
therefore, is nothing p4pu!iar to
ourselves. It is that the world be
made fit and safe to live in; and
particularly that it be made safe for
every peace-loving nation which,
like our own, wishes to live its own
life, determine its own institutions,
be assured of justice and fair deal
ing by the other peoples of the
world as against force and selfish
aggression. All the peoples of the
world are in effect partners in this
interest, and for our own part we
see very clearly that unless justice
be done to others it will not be done
to us. The program of the world's
peace, therefore, is our program.”
--President Wilson's Message of
January 8.

Secretary McAdoo, as director
general of the railroads, has issued
a statement declaring that the pro
duction by each section of the
United States of its own food and
feed stuff would be much more
economical and would effect a great
relief in the transportation problem.
He urges upon the people of the
Scuth, especially the farmers, to
relieve the strain on the railroads
as much as possible during the
coming year by producing their
own food and feed crops, thus ren
ilei ing unnecessary the transporta
tion of such materials from other
parts of the country to them.
The Secretary emphasizes the
fact that he does not suggest that
the growing of cotton should be
discouraged, but that the South, in
addition to raising all the cotton
that it can well cultivate, should
grow hay and corn for its stock and
produce as much food as possible
for its own people.
He says, “If the South can feed
itself, the effect will be to release
from unnecessary service in the
South a vast number of freight cars
and engines and greatly help to win
the war.”

FINGER PRINTS 1,000 YEARS AGO.
According to B. Laufer of the
Field museum, Chicago, the taking
of finger prints as a means of iden
tification was used by the Chinese
and Japanese at least a thousand
years ago. Writing in Science to '
controvert Sir William J. Ilerschel’s
claim to the credit for the invention, .
he quotes Rashid-cddin, the famous
Fersian historian, who described in
1303 the then ancient Chinese cus- j
tom; Soleirnan, an Arabian mer
chant, who wrote in A. I). t>o 1 that
in China creditors’ bills were marked
by the debtor with his fingers; and
three contracts dated A. D. 782 and
?86, both finger marked and bearing
a note to the effect that the parties
thereto had affixed the impressions
of their fingers.
ITS SORT.
“The part she has in the moving
picture play fits the little girl actress
like a glove.”
“Yes; so to speak, like a kid 1
glove.”
FITTED FOR IT. 1
“Though Emily is not in society,
she is a duck of a girl.”
“Then it’s a wonder she is not
in the swim.”
