The approaching meeting to be ad dressed by Judge Stephenson will no doubt add much zest to the local campaign. The urge to get in on this cam paign, which is something arrferent rrom all other lines of endeavor that have been attempted in this country, Is making an impression upon people of all classes, the rich and the poor, ihe intelligent and the illiterate. It 's something different. As one of the big men of the State recently said, something is happening. rte was talking about the War Savings tampSj and said : ''Something is happening In Ameri ca. It is happening surely and splend idly; -and when it is finished, it will stay with us forever. We are becom ing savers instead of spenders. The dollars which once were carelessly spent are now being put to wiser use, and every day brings our people to a clearer understanding of -the fact that unless we save more and more of our earnings and use our savings wisely, we will have a heavy price to pay in the future. "Everyone knows that for years America has been called the money- mad nation among the great powers. Just as the Germans used to call England a nation of shop-keepers, so they called us a nation of dollar chasers. 'And they are right. It is a fact that a great part of America's brain and energy has been given to the making of money. Not until recent years has America turned its wealth into paths which have been followed by European countries for genera tions past, such as government aid in improving farm lands and farm ing methods, conservation of forests, development of water power for the direct benefit of the people, and the betterment of rural conditions of liv ing, and travel. Many of these plans nave been so recently developed that the country has not yet realized the full benefit therefrom. A vast amount of national wealth has been created, but only a small part of it has gone to those ends which make living com ditions finer and better. "Extravagance has come hand in hand with money making. Quickly made money has been as freely spent for non?essentials as for the neces sary things of life. This is particu larly true of . the cities, but it holds good for rural communities as well. During the year now closing the peo ple, as a class, have made and spen more money tharn in any recen years. Wliat have they done with it? They know best whether It has gone for essentials, whether it has been wisely invested, and whether it has been used for the benefit of the country at large. . , . "The' new thing which is happen ing in America is this: the country, as a whole, is awaking to the fact that no man can use his property for himself alone,. The, possession o money creates an - obligation, on the ; partl-pf its possessor, to aid his fel low man and his country 'through', its TREBLE CI.EF TO GIVE CONCERT Program Largely Coniposed of Old Folk Songs With Wide Popular Appeal mrtted. .
