If every store In the land was doing a similar job, It would be great news for Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. ac< retary of the treasury. o—o Our ipwls are off to Mr*. Mary Meyer of this city who has sent five stalwart son* m the army. She is a brave American mother, who was not ashamed of the few tears she shed aa her fifth boy left here In a recent contingent to join the armed forces. A daughter is also expected to Join as a Red Cross nurse. Clare W.

He seems to like the political arena aud the tougher the going, the more he enjoys it. Ho wtu give them something io think about over there probably k.

and add a little lip to the campaign. O—O The law has probably caught up with William Dudley Pelley of Noblesville. Indiana, who tor a long time has < ugaged In publishing uaAmerican newspapers and magssines. Ho Is the organiser of ths "silver shirts" and has written many stories that are held to be Interfering with the success of the United Staten and aiding the operation it enemies of the I'ultsd Rtates. A few arrest* of this kind should tend to make others think seriously about what they publish. 0-0 — A number ot widespread and dangerous fault* of the American I people were properly criticised In .1 speech th. other night by Col. Richard C Patterson, Jr. He said <>ur “most numerous national eniiny.* war "the sixth columnist" And by the sixth columnists he said, he meant the gosslpper*. the skeptics. the taulthnders. the letGeorge do-it-i rowd. mid the drones. It will Ire a good thing for ail of us to search our consciences and see If we could fairly be accused of belonging In any of those categori«e.— Indianapolis Times. —o Don't criticise unless you know what you are talking about, don't i spread idle gossip, don't run down | your governmet, It's the best In the world: don't spread rumors; don t lose faith in America. The next year or two will be dark and gloomy with many serious setbacks. We can only win the war by unity and sacrlßce and plenty of Irotli. but it's worth it. None of us I want Japan or the Axis dictating terms ot peace to un from the While House. Make no mistake. It's time to really take the war I seriously and to do every thing we ! < an to save, to help, to keep the ' army and navy supplied. O—O Time To Save! At the direct request of the government. retail stores are carrying on aggressive campaigns to pre- - vent waste and save materials of all kinds. The Institute of Distribution, which represent* a number of Important retail organizations, offers some excellent advice. Summed up. that advice amounts to this: don't waste food. Don't burn or throw away paper. Save scrap metal, old rubber, rags, etc. Give this salvage to your favorite charity or sell it to the nearest junk and waete paper dealer. I'sc office supplies Sparingly. Get maximum service from such common articles a* paper clips, pins, rubber bands, envelopes, scratch paper, sealing tbpe. pencils, typewriter ribbons, carbon paper, etc. These and similar articles have a definite and Important place in war production, and civilian consumption must be reduced in many Instances. Take extra-special care of mechanlcal equipment. Inspect it. clean It. and oil It frequently. Repairs and replacement will become constantly more difficult. Save ou fuels. Retail Industry knows what It is talking about. The chain stores and the organized IndepMdenla are studying ways and means to conserve all possible materials. It takes live pounds of paper to pack an ordinary artillery shell. The military appetite for rubber, metato. textiles, leather, etc., is virtually Insatiable. Every business—and every individual—should emulate retelling's drive to prevent waste. Q , — ... {“twenty AGO TODAY — .... 4 April 7—-Mr. and Mr* A. R.
