The: Home Guard Company The public generally has not taken cognizance of the importance of the Home Guard company : vylilch has been formed in Richmond. A highly : commendable amount of patriotic endeavor ha$ ,hwn expended both by the men who are at the Inad olMliin enterprise and the men who are drill in?. J ' ' . ; . : Cambridge" City has a company which has :been accepted Into the state servicebeing one of it he very first companies that passed inspection 'and became an integral part of the State Home Guard movement. ' The men in this company are drilling, faithfully and are reflecting credit on the ; community, V ! ' . ' The Richmond company did not get under way iin time to be taken into the first regiment of the State organization, but its members, are preparing for a speedy enrollment in the second regiment that will be mustered in soon.N

, The Home Guard company here should have a i large enrollment. " There are enough men on the roster to give as&urance of permanence and success. Hundreds. of men who have not enrolled are asked to weigh the reasons why they should join. It is of primary importance to note that when the old National Guard units of Indiana were mustered into the federal service, no adequate body of trained men to meet an emergency demanding the military was left in the state. In fact, at present, excepting the first regiment of Home Guards recently perfected, Indiana has no : troops. Tho Home Guard companies are not members of the National Guard. Keep this distinction in mind. The oath they take is not the oath of the National Guard but an oath that obligates the men to service within the state only. They ran be called for the protection of any point or indu.stry that is threatened with danger by German spies or sympathizers in Indiana, but they cannot be called outside the jurisdiction of the state. It is pbvious to every thinking patriot that the state must have some sort of military protection ;in these trying tunes. The Home Guards will give this protection. They arebeing organized :'and drilled for the sole purpose of thwarting any j design the Kaiser's agents may have within In- ; diana; They are patriots who will shoulder a rifle to defend any point that is being threatened ; by the foes of democracy.

The protection of our homes and of our state is a matter of tremendous importance. It is a duty which none of us can shirk. If our city or its industries in the past had been threatened by hostile men or enemy sympathize ers, almost every one of us would long ago have seen the paramount importance of a body of trained men within our own confines. But the fact that we have been spared such a manifestation of hostility does not prove that the danger does not exist-and that it may no be a menace any day. ' Let us pot permit ourselves to be lulled into the sheep of false security. We are dealing with a wily and tricky foe who has not stopped short of butchering children, women and old men in France and Belgium. Our enemy has blown up munition plants and bridges in this country. His accredited ambassador to this country used the prerogatives of his position to foment trouble and to hire agents tq incite to treason, arson and lawlessness. We may expect the Kaiser's agents in Indiana and elsewhere to stoop to the lowest venality to hinder the great work of preparation for war in which we are now engaged. Against this foe, we must muster our full strength, consisting not only of the soldiers we send abroad and the munitions we make in our factories, but also of the strength of every ablebodied man we have at home. If our women are conserving food and working for the Red Cross, it is the solemn duty of the men in this hour of peril, to acquire the military knowledge that will enable them to become "real defenders" of their home, real foils to the thrusts of the Kaiser's agents, real fighters for the home and fireside. The Home Guard has been organized for this very purpose. Its motive is a highly patriotic one. Its purpose strikes home in every family. Its call to service is imperative and insistent. No one dare overlook it. It summons every man to duty. Thrift From the Nation's Business. THRIFT in not and ought not to be a forced and artificial economy deliberately resolved en and carried out by a nation. Rather, thrift Is an attitude of mind caused primarily by circumstance, and continued and Increased by resolve. The significant thing about thrift. Is not. that It saves and conserves merely, but that it Implies, on the part of the nation that practices it, habits of self control and self denial. Its significance is a spiritual significance, Just as waste is significant of slackness of disorder, of a mind and spirit ill controlled. Thrift means rational living. Without Its cultivation to a "reasonable extent, no individual, no nation, can live a rounded life. Thrift does not mean stripping life of all relaxation and and beauty. It means no fanatical, puritanical extremes of self discipline. It means rather something of the idea that underlay the civilization of ancient Greece the ideal of national temperance in all living. It calls for

well considered conduct of thought and of living. It does not mean that the world will be a Utopia, hut merely that the standards of the average man and the orderlies of his life will be raised. Thrift, then, Is not saving and conserving merely, but something far more significant self control and self denial and temperance; qualities that mean mora in terms of sheer national wealth than all the gold that was ever mined.

Poy. page Mr Hoover We are toid that eating tobacco has advanced two cents a plug. Is chewing tobacco food? The telegraph operators and baseball pitchers would like to know. Dy Iho way. while we are rattling the skeleton, is (here any objection to our asking what lias become of the oldfashioned Harry Thaw? This war certainly has raised Hades with a lot of personal publicity departments. A Pittsburgh attorney admitted this week that there is such a thing as having a Jury which is of too high an order of intellisence. Yes, indeed, a

wise gink on a jury certainly can raise hob with the lawyers occasionally. The parly who tells how, in the summer, he can get more miles per gallon than any of his neighbors is now busy telling how he can heat his house on five tons per winter. Let's see. Didn't a certain official party come back from Russia a few months ago and say that everything was all right over there? We don't ask this to be mean, but Just for Information. ONE OF THE MAIN TROUBLES WITH RUSSIA IS THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY RUSSIANS THERE.
