V-Wo -v. HOW you lily ILP Which of These Practical Ways of Savings To Win The War Are You Using? Many people want to do something to help win the war, but say they don't know what to do. To help those persons to consider ways in w.hich they can release labor and ma terial as well as save and earn money to invest in War Savings Stamps, and get 4 per cent compound interest for It, is the purpose of the following questions: 1. Do you put out all unnecessary lights and burn as little wood and coal as possible? Coal is needed to run railroad en gines to drive big ships, and to make our manufactures. Save it by using all the daylight and sunlight possible. 2. Do you avoid overheated rooms In winter by keeping temperature in your house down to 68 or 70 degrees? W t,T ?J i f 1 A " J m.u niuici CHILL OCC how much freer from colds your fam ily will be. . 3. Do yoU avoid unnecessary travel? The Government has already called ! pifl. U I upon citizens to take no unnecessary trips on' railroads. The railroads are needed for war service, both passen ger and freight.. Think before you go ! 4. Do you save gasoline, rubber, and killed labor by cutting out all unnec essary use of motor cars? Gasoline is one of the most impor tant war supplies. Every gallon counts. Rubber is also in demand. Chauffeurs are needed on Government work. 5. Do you save the time of your friends and the labor of the telephone company by cutting out unnecessary j telephone conversations? Later we may be asked to avoid all but business and emergency calls between certain hours. The Govern ment needs the telephone in its war work. Let us keep off the lines! 6. Do you buy only clothing that is necessary, and which will wear well? Are you. wearing out your old things? By so doing you are saving labor and material that should be employed lor war work. v 7i Are yoii makkig simplicity Jr. POSSIBLE TO LOSE As the Stay-at-Home Army Thinks and Feels, So Does the Army at the Front. The War Must First be Won Over Here Did you kr. ?w that the war could be lost oyer here as easily, or more so, as over there? While the actual fight ing takes place on the fields of France, most of that which goes into the fight, to win or lose it, takes place over here. There are hundreds of ways in which America can lose out in win ning the war and 90 per cent of these are dependent upon those who stay at home? The stay-at-home army largely determines whether the army at the front loses or wins. In the first place, ,the soldiers over there must have supplies and must have these in sufficient quantity and qual ity to make them the most efficient fighting men possible. They must have clothing of the' proper texture aummer and winter to protect them and yet not encumber them. They must have mental and moral recrea tion, but above all else, they must Lave that courage of the soul, known as morale, that comes from the peo ple at home. As the army feels over here, so it feels over there. As strong as grows its determination, to win over here, so oeierminea are tney to win over there. Whatever is done, said or felt over here has its effect over there. Therofer, it behooves every American citizen, American soldier that he himself is, as ready to mak sacrifices as to expect it of them, and that he himself is, as ready to make of the Government as they who gave up their homesa and loved ones and offered themselves to their country's cause. Probably the greatest call that has come to the people of this country is to save and serve. Every individual has beea called on to practice econ omy and refrain from spending money for things not essential to health and .efficiency, not only that the Govern rraent may have all surplus money to finance the war hut that labor engag ed in the making of these things may te released for making material need ed to win the war. The person who c!oes without, who saves his money xvhere he used to spend 4t, who makes personal sacrifices for his country's sake, is indeed today the real, true patriot. He is Tendering a service in 1 eeping with that of the soldier , at the front. On the other hand, he" who is selfish and insists oii living as fce did before the war, who criticises the Government, who has not time for Y'ar work, who heeds no call of the . C overnment, he is a greater enemy t'ian the Hun across No 'Man's Land. Jn .act, if America loses in the war it wlll be her enemies over here and T."t qver there that made losing pos Only One Thing to Do First Lick Germany. When we would make plans for the fV.ure and think of peace, we are confronted wjith the one big fact that Germany is not yet licked, and that i ' TO If THE- WR dress and living your motto? The simpler your clothes the great er the saving in making and launder ing To dress or' live extravagantly in war times is not only unpatriotic, it is oaa rorm. 8. Are you cutting down on amuse ments? Recreation is necessary, but many amusements nowadays cost money, and we should lend our spare money to the Government' to be used in prac tical ways for winning the war. 9. Have you more woolen clothe than you actually need? The war demand for woolen sweat ers has only just begun. If you have any you can 'spare, pass them on to those who need - them and so save drawing on the limited-supply of wool. .t .art.de, not needed by you those to whom they are sent as gifts. 10. Do you produce anything? If not, you can, by your savins, or iuSf ; w Z V Just as useful fey releasing someone else who can produce. 11. Do you refrain from unneces sary repairs and improvements? Do only what is necessary to keep things from going to pieces. Don't worry about shabbiness in war time. 12. Do you buy things which you do not need? Remember that laying in a supply for the future" may be good house keeping in peace times in war times it is unpatriotic, hoarding, and hin ders the "Government. Don't question whether you can afford it, but whether the country can afford to let you have it. 13. Are you buying War Saving Stnmps, so that you can help the Government with every twenty-five cents in cash you save? Can you not start each child and member of your household filling a Thrift Card or a War Savings Certificate? You can buy these at every bank or postoffice. Remember that $4.19 invest in War Savings Stamps this mcnth means $5.00 returned to you in I WARMER. HERE nothing else should have right of way in our time and thought till this one thing is accomplished. Mr. Frank Crane, in the Chicago Daily News, recently told how important- it is to do this thing first. He says: "Yes, I know, Peace is a grand thing. ' I am a pacifist, on general principles. But what would be the use of peace now, with a horde of 3,000,000 brutes, led by a bunch of egotistic scoundrels, stamping over the earth with hob-nailed boots? We've got to lick Germany before we can get any kind of peace that is tol erable. . Look t the Russians. They threw down their arms and extended the friendly hand to the Huns, and smiled, and said, "Now, we'll all quit. See! We begin.' It was a most Christian act. What was the answer? Germany kicked them in the face. The Ger mans invaded their territory, burned their towns, killed their men, robbed them, laughed at them, lied to them, spread the pernicious, propaganda among their people, and Russia to day is a seething madhouse. So just hold steady awhile on socialism. We've got to lick Germany first. "Ireland wants to be free and all that. We sympathize with her. But we've got to lick Germany . first. What's the good of a free Ireland, with Germany ruling England? Does Ireland want to swap Lloyd George for the Kaiser? "Sweden is starving. Holland and L Denmark are in straits. We'd like to help them. But we've got to lick Germany first. "We cannot aid the Belgians to re build their houses and get their peo ple back from slavery until we lick Germany. "We want France and Italy and Ser bia and Roumania and" Poland and Ar menia rescued -from the horror ot war, from hunger and want and mas sacre. But we must lick Germany first. "We'd like ocean travel made safe and commerce freed from piracy, but we've got to lick Germany first. "We wish our soldier boys were back home. We need them. Wives, mothers, sweethearts, fathers need them. Farms and shops need them. But we've got to lick Germany first. Any way you turn, you find we've got to lick Germany first. "Whatever reform you want, what ever nuisance should be abated, we run up against the same prime neces sity. , We've got to lick Germany first. "Sure! It's all coming out right. We shall some day have "peace on earth and good will to men. But we've got to lick Germany first "Don't wait dinner for us; we can't be with you at the ball; and telephone the undertaker, please, that he needn't come around yet awhile. We've just naturally jot to lick Germany first LOCAL NEWS of interest to ALL OF OUR READERS.
