Which of These Practical Ways of Savings To Win
The War Ara You Using?
Many pnopl* 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
whloh they can releaae labor and ma
terial as wall as sava and earn money
to hivast In War Savings Stamps, and
fet 4 psr caat compound Interest for
It, Is tha purpose of the following
questions:
1. Do you put out all unnecessary
lights and burn aa little wood and
seal aa possible?
Coal Is needed to run railroad en-
Slnan to drive big ships, and to make

Tho Government has already called
Bpon oitlsens to take no unnecessary
trips otv railroads. The railroads are
needed for war service, both passen
ger and freight. Think bofore you go!
4. Do you aave gasoline, rubber, and
Skilled labor by cutting out all unneo

Foe Given No Rest Along ths Bommej
Harassed by Franco-Americans
on Vesle and Lorraine.
Gradually the famous Lys salient in
the region west of Armentleres is giv
ing way under the pressure of the
British. Again Field Marshal Haig's'
forces have compelled the enemy to
seek ground to the esstward where
he will be more secure from the
shells of the big guns that for several
weeks have been firing criss-cross over
the entire salient, working havoc
among the defenders of the insecure
line.
Likewise the Germans are being
given no rest by the Franco-British
forces north and south of the Somroe,
and the French and Americans along
the Veslo and Americans ia Lorraine,
also are harassing them by artillery
fire and local attacks. Nowhere has
the enemy had the beter of any en
counter.
Ovor a front of four mile* between
Balllelil and Vleux Rerquin on the
Lys sector, the British have forced
back tlie-Gerpian* to-a- depth ranghig
from 1.000 to 2,000 yards, taking In
the maneuver the village of Outter
ateen and 400 prisoners.
While,.as a whole, tho German lina
between the Somrne and the Oi*e riv
ers are still holding, notwithstanding
tho terrific pounding It Is receiving
from the allied guns, the British have
drawn nearer the road leading from
diamines to Roye between Chilly and
Farnsart, placing Roye In greater
Jeopardy by attack from the north.
At the same time to the south of Roye,
over the four-mile front between
Beuvralgnes and Canny-Surmatz, a
violent artllery duel Is raging between
the French and Germans. It is in
this region that tho French aro en
deavoring—and In their initial efTort*
they have met with considerable sue
cess—to carry forward their two-fold
purpose of outflanking both Roye and
Lassigny by a drive eastward.
Along the Vesle river front, where
tho Americans and French are hold
ing the line against the Germans,
there has been considerable recipro
cal artillery shelling.

M IN WISH IN fwriimsEifi
Saddest Chapter of HUtory Record* Judasea Who After
The' War Went Out and Hanged Thenuelvea.
Some one U going to wish to bang
btmieir After the war ii over. How
do we knowT It is %, principle M old
and true M lit*. .Shakespeare gave
expression to it when be made Henry
IV wave bis band to a delinquent sol
dier, after an important battle had
been (ought, and say, "Hang yourself
Crlllon. We hare (ought at Arques and
70u were not there." historians say
that it all the tragedies of wars could
be written, the saddest chapters would
be those which recorded the .victims
of relentless remorse—the Judases
wbo went out and hanged themselves,
because their God and their country
called and tbey did not go.
There are four occasions on which
a man who did not answer his coun
try's call at a time of need will wish
to hang himself when the war is over.
The first of these will be when the
soldiers return, battle scarred but vic
torious and happy, and when he will
'be called upon to face them and an
, swer In his soul what be did to help
to bring them back safe and trlumph
, ant. As they will march for the grand
review before the President, and then
before the Oovernor, and later through
the streets of his own little town,
when millions will thrill and shout
their throats hoarse with praise and
; acclamations, then will he hate him
(self. Down in his heart he will wish
that he were hanging from a tree over
a cliff.
Another occasion on which such a
man will be called to face another gen
eration. —It may be his own children,
—who when they have asked every
question concerning the war, .will look
with great expectancy Into his face
and ask, What did you do to help win
the war? Rather than disappoint one
of these little ones, be would rather
that a millstone were about his neck
and that he were drowned at She bot
tom of the sea.
Then there ID public opinion that he
will meet face to face day after day
as long an he lives. He may heap
deeds upon deeds of patriotism, but
he can never live down the Ignominy
brought upon himself and his poster
ity by refusing to heed his country's
call. No attempt that he may make
as an effort to declare his patriotism
or redeem his record of dishonor will
be accepted by merciless public opin
ion. Nothing he can say or little that
he can do will atone for the charge
that his country called and he was not
there.
And yet the greatest of all his ac
cusers will be his conscience. He will
seek to bide from this by day and
flee from ft by night, but Its ever ac
cusing finger will be present. Forget
it, he can not His spirit will ever din
Into his ears the condemning voice,
saying, "A great battle was fought for
God and right and you were not there.
Go hang yourself."
Who le the Man?
The man who will want to hang
himself after the war will belong to
one of three classes, traitor, Blacker,
—three words of the most ig
nominious meaning In the English lan
guage today.
If his crime be that of a traitor It
does not necessarily mean that he
crossed the seaa and betrayed the
movement of troops, or gava out other
information that elded the enemy. On
the other hand, it may mean, and
most likely does mean, that he waa
one whose fortune It waa to remain
at home, but who refused to support
his Government by oomplylng with Its
various requests, wkloh hindered Its
program, prolonged the war and cost
the livfs of thousands of American
soldiers; or he crltlolsed the Govern
ment which gave rise to eeemy prop

If bis clime be that o( a slacker it
may not mean that he resisted the
draft and retused to serve In some
branch of the army or navy, ogly, but
it may mean that he refused to serve
at the smaller tasks at home to which
he was called. Perhaps It did not suit
his convenience to comply with War
measures,—to observe meatless and
wheatless days, to consume less coal,
to refrain from unnecessary expendi
tures that he might have money to
loan the Government by buying Lib
erty Bonds or War Savings Stamps,
or, perhaps, he was called on to give
o( his time and services, and sacrifice
personal pleasures and desires (or •
time, none ot which he has the record
of doing.
And If it should be (or the reason
that he was a profiteer,—made money
out of the war,—it la likely that It
means that he drove hard bargains
with the Government and took advan

that he competed with the Govern

labor and material needed for fight
ing the war, or that he retused to
lend bis money to the Government by
buying War Savings Stamps and Lib

to use It In private investments which,
he said, would net him bigger divi

Is It any wonder when a man r«ads
his credit sheet after the war Is over
and finds there no statement of any
personal service rendered, no gifts ot
loans ot mdoey, no Instances of in

country's cause,—is it any wonder that
he will wish to go out and hang him
self?
As to Credit—Do We Deserve ItT
If we save and thereby better our
financial position and at the stuns
time help our Government win the
war, are we deserving of credit?
When Uncle Sam asks us to save to
help win the war he asks us to do
ourselves a great favor; and yet, sim
ply because the need Is great and ths
appeal urgent, and because the na
tion pleads with us to do this simple
thing, we are prone to look upon It as
a great favor to the country, and to
stick feathers In our hats and go strut
ting around because we granted It
It's patriotic, all right. It helps the
country—not only now, but later; not
only for the war, but for the trial of
national fiber that comes after the
war—but It helps us even more.
And It Is so easy, so much mere
helpful to ourselves than to the coun
try, so small a thing to do compared
with what our boys in arms are doing
that it really Is a Joke to pin roses on
ourselves for doing It.
Leet We Forget to Do Our Part.

BUILDING
FACTORS IN ROAD BUILDINQ
Necessity Emphasized In Giving Great,
eet Consideration to All
Local Conditions.
(Prepared by the United Statu Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Theory Is simply the sign post that
points the way in road building,
while judgment Is the vehicle on wlfich
the Journey la dependent, says a pub
lication on "The Design of Public
Roads" by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The publication emphasize* the
necessity ot giving the greatest con
sideration to all local factors In road
construction. In order to farnlah the
kind of roads that a community wants
and to furnish Jhem with the least
possible drain on the public treasury,
the person who designs them must be
thoroughly familiar with local condi
tions and must possess the Judgment
necessary to weigh the importance of
all considerations. The publication
makes no attempt to state definite and
exact rules for designing roads to
suit every locality but takes up sep
arately the Important features of tha
problem with a view to showing the
variations In current practice and the
Influence of some special conditions
with regard to each feature.
In order to select the type of sur
face best adapted to the need of a
particular road, It is necessary to con
sider first, the class of traffic to
wtolch the road will be subjected, and
second, to compare the estimated ulti
mate cost ol the different surface
types which wonld be capable of sat
isfactorily caring for that particular
class of trafllc. The number of roads
for which accurate trafllc and effi
ciency records have been'kept is aald
to be insufficient to warrant definite
conclusions as to ths best type for
any particular class of traffic, but the
following summary Is said to contain
about as deflnlte information on this
point as can b* drawn from available
records.
(a) Earth roads, when properly
maintained, are satisfactory In dry
weather for a light volume of «ll
kinds of highway traffic.
(b) Sand-clay roads are the same
as earth roads, except that the sur
faclng material has been selected care
fully with a view to increasing the
stability of the surface.ln both 4tt
and dry weather. They are satisfac
tory for a moderate traffic of horse
drawn vehicles and a light traffic of
automobiles. They seldom are satis

(d) Water-bound macadam roads
are to the same general char

t (e) Surface-treated Tnaca dam roads
nrh adapted especially for a heavy
traffic of automobiles. They also are
satisfactory for a light traffic of
horse-drawn vehicles and heavy

stant maintenance.
(f) Bituminous roads are suitable
for a heavy traffic of both automobiles
and horse-drawn vehicles and a mod
erate traffic of heavy trucks.
(g) Concrete roads are adapted to
the same general class of traffic as
bituminous roads, and generally are
capable of withstanding the traffle of
somewhat heavier vehicles without In
jury.
(h) Brick roads are adapted to the
same general class of traffic as con
crete roads. Either brick or concrete
roads, however, may be economical
for only moderate traffic where other

TEMPERATURE FOR CHURNING
Much Depend* on Beaton of Year, but
la Usually From 62 to 60 De
gree* In Bummer.
(Prepared by the United State* Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The desirable temperature at which
to chum Is that which makes the but
ter granules firm without being hard.
This Is usually obtained under normal
conditions when the churning occupies
80 or 40 minutes. The necessary churn
ing temperature depends upon the
season of the year and certain other
factors, but Is usually from B2 to 80
degrees Fahrenheit In the summer and
trom 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit In
the Winter. If the cream Is churned
at 62 degrees Fahrenheit In winter,
and the butter cornea In 85 minutes,
with the granules firm, It will be no
ticed, as summer approaches and the
cows are turned out to pasture, that
the cream churns more quickly and
the butter Is softer. This Is an In
dication that a lower churning temper
ature should be used, and thus from
season to season the churning temper
ature is regulated so that the butter
granules may have the proper firm
ness.
When the temperature Is either too
low or too high, undesirable results
are obtained. A low temperature pro
longs the churning period unnecessa
rily, and may even make It Impossible
to churn butter. It causes the gran
nies, especially when the cream la
thin, to form In tiny pellets, like fine
shot, many of which run out with the
buttermilk. The working of thfl but
ter and the Incorporation of the salt
are accomplished only with great diffi
culty, and the body of the butter Is li
able to be brittle and tallowy. Add
ing hot water to cream to warm It,
and using wash water more than three
degrees warmer than the butter In or
dSr to soften It, are bad practices,
since they Injure the quality of the
butter. If the proper churning tem
perature Is used, the butter granules
will be of the proper firmness.

Oood Feeding and Protection From

—Cool Milk Quickly.
(Prepared by the United States Depart

Nothing Is gained by turning dairy

are of the utmost importance if the
cows are to be kept from losing flesh
or from falling off In milk. Much
damage will be done also to pastures

they are wet and before the grasses
