THE NEED Of ECONOMY.
The United States is now at
war. A large part of our country’s
human energy is taken away from
the farms, factories and industries
of peace, and until the war ends
all their energies will be devoted to
fighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy is being turned into the
creation of implements of destruc
tion. Many of our products are
now being devoted to purposes of
war. Destruction instead of con
struction is the object of a great
portion of the country's energy.
As much of the human energy
and productive capacity of the Na
tion are now being devoted to the
purposes of war, so should the
proper amount of the money of the
United States be so devoted. He
who oifors his life for his country
is offering the greatest possible
sacrifice, but the American men
and women who support the gov
e nment with their money are do
ing their part.
This war is going to be financed 1
1. rgely out of the savings of the
American people during the war. ‘
It is not too great a sacrifice to
mike for one’s country in time of
war to deny one’s self luxuries, to •
cut down unnecessary expenses, to *
lead quieter and busier lives. Not *
only will the money thus saved and
u ed to buy Liberty Loan Bonds
Ik Ip the United States but the di- £
minished consumption of food and I
other articles will do much to re- 1
lieve the country from the strain
of war.
i mg icsb luc pcupic use me less •
£t. ain there is upon the productive '
capacity of the Nation and the I
more can be devoted to winning
the war; the more the people save
the more liberal financial support 1
can they give the government.
1 his is the people’s war. and is to 1
be financed by the American peo- '
pie. not by the rich and not by the !
poor, but by the rich and the poor,
the capitalist and the wage earner,
t it miner and the farmer and the .
manufacturer. ,
’ .lihu Root, one of our greatest
statesmen, and in patriotism sec
ond to none, says there are men -
walking around in this country,
p atting in the interest of Germany,
and they should be shot without
d lay. Senator Root is right, the
U. S. is too slow about shooting its
e-pperheads.
With all its faults, this is the
lest country the world has ever
Known, and whoever commits the
slightest act of treason, should face
a firing squad at sunrise.
i he allies have a navy ready to
meet Germany when she decides
to substitute sea fighting for sub
marine assassination.

In February, 1832, as the Rev. Samuel F. Smith was glancing through
some children's books written in German, he ran across some music which
he later found to be "God Save Ihe King." He was much impressed and
noticed that the words were very patriotic, but without endeavoring to
translate or imitate them, he was led on the impulse of the moment to
write the hymn, America. To his surprise on the succeeding 4th of July,
Mr. Ijowell Mason, a choir conductor to whom he had rfven a copy, first
publicly introduced It at a Sunday School patriotic celebration at the Park
Street church. Boston. Edward Everett Hale, then a little boy who had
6pent all of his 4th of July money on root beer and ginger snaps, stopped
at the church on his way home and so \vas present at the first singing of
the hymn, which is national enough to be called "America.”—From
Special Report. Library of Congress.
The woodthrushes were singing tlielr
evening song on the elms that sur
rounded and looked down upon the
low-eaved farmhouse, but Metty
Cramer did not hear them. To be sure,
she was spending her usual after-sup
per hour on the “front stoop,” but her
thoughts were far from the songbirds.
Often in her lap was the latest issue of
the Hearth Companion. The tJingazine
was open at the editorial pages and
there, In large black-faced type, one
might have seen these words: “Our
Heart Problem Contest.”
“If you have a heart problem, we
want you to write and tell us about it.
Prizes will be awarded for the best let
ter and as many of the other letters
ns possible will receive personal an
swers with advice from one of our edi
tors.”
As she rose from the step she was
too intent on her project to see the
tall, erect, though muscle-weary fig
ure of Si I nrned as he came from his
Inst duties in the barn, through the
shadow of the house. SI enjoyed the
distinction of being the one and only
“hired man” on the Cramer farifi.
Metty stole quietly to her father’s
desk and took from it the sole bottle
of ink which the Cramer establish
ment boasted and, with this and her
father’s pen in band she ascended te
her own room, there to work out her
problem, as she regarded it. Mean
time Si sank down on the porch step.
Why had Metty avoided him, he asked
himself, and then he answered this
question to his own satisfaction. “Of
course, she wouldn’t look at ‘hired
help' like me,” he told himself. “Some
city man will come along for her and
then she won’t look at me."
1 He thought he might be able to see
Metty if he went into the house, so,
ahsentmindedly picking up the maga
zine wlidre Metty had left it, he rose
and made Ills way Into the sitting
room.
Metty wasn t there, so the next best
thing that occurred to him to do was
to mid the new number of the Dearth
Companion.
On the last page of the magazine
beyond the frontispiece lie came to the
editorial and, with keen attention to
every word, he labored through it.
T hen cautiously, he went to Cramer’s
desk and took out a pencil, delved In
to the woodbox for a piece of discard
ed wrapping paper and started toward
the door with the magazine under ills
arm.
It was a month later, and neither
Metty nor Si had received the answer
to tiie problem that confronted them.
Then came the Hearth Companion and,
as Mr. Cramer had overtaken the mall
carrier on his way buck from the vil
lage that morning, he had come into
possession of the magazine first.
“I guess yon want to get a look at
the new fashions,” he told Metty as he
came into the house and, passing it to
her, he turned to Si, who had come in
from the fields for Ills midday dinner.
“Here, Si, here’s a letter from the
magazine folks. I guess they want you
to subscribe to their magazine. And,
by grnvy. If there isn't a letter for
Metty, too!"
Si opened his letter hurriedly with
out excusing himself, and ills strong
si*ii-burned hand was fairly shaking
with emotion and surprise when he
took out an oblong of white paper, on
which was written an order for one
hundred dollars, payable to Si Lamed.
* " e toke gront pleusure in announcing
to you that your letter lias been
awarded the first prize In our ‘heart
problem’ contest,” it ran. “By way of
giving you the help and advice we
promised we wish to attract your at
tention to the letter published under
the tenth place In the contest."
While Metty was still reading her
letter—which announced thut she had
won a new patent vegetable press as
a reward for having the tenth best let
ter, SI grasped the magazine which she
had laid on the table. He turned past
, his own letter—which was published
j exactly as he had written It, save for
| the omission of his name—and passed
* on till he came to the tenth letter.
Could this really have been written by
Metty?
“I have not the slightest hope of
winning a prize,” the letter ran after
giving a more or less minute auto
hlngmphlcal sketch. ‘‘My only wish
In writing is that someone wiser than
myself might give me advice. I am an
uneducated simple farmer’s daughter.
My problem Is the old, old problem. I
love a young man who works for my
father. I think I could make him love
me if I could only live In different sur
roundings. I love the country and
country life, but 1 believe he has am
bitions. I know I could never be happy
anywhere but In this or some similar
secluded spot. My heart problem is
♦ his: Since I cannot be happy in the
way that would correspond to this
man’s ambitions, have I any right to
make him love me? And since In his
eyes I must be a simple country girl,
how could I make him love me any
way?"
So intent had SI been In reading first
the letter and then the magazine that
he did not renllze that Metty was at
his side, reading the puges over his
shoulder.
‘‘Were you writing the gospel truth,
Metty?” he asked.
‘‘I meant every word of It,” she said,
and then hs her father shambled buck
Into the room she whispered: “I won
der If we should ever have known If it
hadn’t been for the heart-problem con
test.”

| The One Woman. »«;
We've toasted all manners of women,
We’ve pledged them, the old and the
young,
Slnre days of the gallant knight errant*
All womanhood’s praises we’ve sung;
We've pledged them for love and for duty.
For trust and a faith near divine
ly e’ve held high our glasses and pledged
them
In our first and last bumpers of wine.
But somehow, In zeal for their beauty.
Fond eyes and their lily white hands,
We've overlooked one In our pledging—
The Woman Who Understands,
Our poor limitations and uses,
She knows them far better than we—
She bravely accepts our excuses,
And motives refuses to see;
She overlooks all of our errors,
The things we don't do that we should.
And knows, like ourselves, we'd be better
And worthier men If we could;
In the end, when our errors confront us,
She soothes us with comforting hands,
And erases the penance—God bless her!—
The Wom^n Who Understands.
—John D. Wells In Buffalo News.
VARIETY IN HIS WRITINGS
Author of Many Popular Dime Novels
Later Repented and Produced
Several Serious Works.
Perhaps there was something in the
ntinosphere of Maine that set the lit
erary tide toward blood-and-thunder.
At nny rate, one of the most popular
authors of dime novels was J. H. Ingra
ham, who was born In Portland and
died in 1866 in the South. His was a
varied career. He abandoned mercan
tile pursuits and became a teacher in
Washington college, near Natchez,
Miss., and in 1836 produced n volume
of his impressions of the Southwest.
Then he turned his attention to dime
novel writing and brought out “The
Dancing Star, or the Smuggler of the
Chesapeake,” published in Boston. This
wus followed by three dime novels
published in New York in 1852-3.
“Captain Kyd, or the Wizard of the
Sea,” “Josephine, or the Maid of the
Gulf,” and “Dancing Feather, or the
Pirate Schooner,” three frankly pi
ratical, though not pirated stories.
“Lady Iinogene, a Tule of Long Is
land Sound,” is not a pirate story, but
is the equal of the others in llterury
merit.
In later life he repented, and while
his dime novels are not to be found
on the shelves of public libraries, pos
sibly among the dust-covered volumes
in the regions where the uncalled-for
books are placed may be found his seri
ous works, "A Prince of the House
of David,” “The Pillur of Fire” dnd
“The Throne of Duvld,” produced after
he hud been ordulned as an Episcopal
j minister und rector of St. Thomas
; Hull, an academy for boys at Holly
j Springs, Miss.
