FIGHTING WITH THRIFT
The German women are lighting
desperately with the sword of thrift
Shall we refuse to take this sworn and
light with it also’.
Extravagance costs blood the blood
of heroes. Thrift saves lives the
lives of heroes
Extravagance does not always mean
spending money needlessly It means
also eating food needlessly, especially
wheat, meat, fats and sugar, which
are the foods Uncle Sam needs for his
soldiers.
It is doubtful whether the ordinary
civilian realizes what quantities of
these foods are needed to support just
our own soldiers, to say nothing of
feeding the allied armies and those
millions of people behind tin* lines,
left destitute and absolutely depend
cut on Uncle Sam to feed them
A soldier needs more food than tin*
ordinary civilian because his life is
more strenuous. Moreover, his whole
•diet must he made practically from
\ he *t. meat, fats, sugar, condensed
milk and coffee, for excepting a few
varieties of canned vegetables these
are the only foods that if is possible
to ship to him from a distance
Furthermore. Uncle Sam must lay
up vast reserve stores of these foods
to meet emergencies such as food
lost during a battle, food sunk by sub
marines, food spoiled in transporta
tion, and bad crops next year.
Just bow well fed the American sol
diers are and just bow well Uncle
Sam is able to meet one or all of
these emergencies depends on how
thriftily American men and women
sa\e wheat, meats, sugar and fats.

A NEW KINSHIP
There is a feeling of kinship that
comes from a common aim and pur !
pose, just as there is a bond that is
cemented by suffering shared and sac
rifice. Even Iceland has been brought
closer to us bv our knowing that this
little country is learning to cultivate
and use potatoes as never before, in
order to substitute them for wheat.
The summer season in these Arctic
countries is so short that the raising
of grain is not possible, but the climate
Is quite adapted to the raising of po
tatoes.
Every one of the boats that used
to carry wheat to them in times of
peace is needed for overseas duty,
and so they are solving their own
problems just as patriotically as we
are. They are installing potato-mill
ing machinery so that potato flour
will make them more independent of
importation of grains.

Baseball Should Be Encouraged in
Times of War, Says John Tener
By JOHN K. TENER, President ol National I>ragu
, • .. .- - . - .. -.- sa
Baseball, in common with all other outdoor sports,
in my opinion, should he encouraged in tunes of war
as well as in times of peace.
Baseball really had its origin during the Civil
war, when soldiers in that great conflict benefited
themselves physically and in spirit hv engaging in this
then new game. This was true with the soldiers in
our war with Spain, as it is true with our brave boys
today who have enlisted under the colors and are either
in the camps here or at the front in France. From
the very inception of the present war Kmrland has
realized that to keep her soldiers fit they must be given opportunity to
indulge in their favorite sports, and by government appropriation that
country has used a large sum of money for the purchase of athletic para
phernalia for use of the athletes of her armv. President Wilson has given
every encouragement to and in fact has urged the continuance of outdoor
sports during the war. *'n0h' $ ****
1 uder the selective draft or conscription act professional baseball
players are called to the service of their country precisely the same as
those in any other profession, vocation or walk in life, and have answered,
and are just as ready to answer tho call either by enlistment or draft as
other patriotic citizens; but until that call comes they must, as they
should, continue to earn their livelihood in the profession winch gives to
them the greatest compensating return and in which they are most expert.
| Many players have enlisted and under the operation of the draft law
i baseball has furnished its quota.
Me all realize, especially at this hour, the pressing call that is upon
j each of us to aid our country in doing all in our power to quickly furnish
men and means to combat tho enemy and to insure an earlv and complete
victory to our arms, and this effort will he best sustained by getting into
the open and into the sunshine occasionally and by either witnessing or
: participating in outdoor sports to gain that health and vigor and alert
ness of intellect necessary to do well the work that may come to our hand.
Canada for years past has played and accepted baseball almost to tho
exclusion of other summer sports, and has carried the game into England
and, with our own boys, is now playnig it in Franco, where, in fact., all
the troops of the allied armies engage in playing our national game, which
seems to have in it tha very spirit and inspiration that fits the player for
the supreme effort of the soldier.
While we must all do our utmost for our country at this timo, we
must also have our hour of recreation, and to recreate the body and
sharpen our senses I know of no better tonic than basebalL

This Lad Is Eager to Fight for Democracy
NEW YoIIK.- Lieut. Joseph s. Smith, author of “(>ver Then** and Back” and
“Trench Warfare both written as tin* result of three years’ exi»erlem*e
with tin* Canadian and Scotch arndes. has been in I rain • * for some time In
his American uniform. A few weeks
ago he received a letter from his
l w el vo- year-old brother Haul, w hich lie
inclosed In Ills last note to some friends
in New York. “1 think It is a pretty
good letter to come spontaneously from
a hoy of his age. If that Is tin* spirit
of the American hoy. then God help
the Hun.” The letter follows:
I >ear Brother Joe :
”1 write to you especially to thank
you for the dollar hill you sent by
mother and to ask you some questions.
1 bought four Thrift Stamps with It. Every copper saved Is a shoe at the kaiser
(I hope). I read your book and enjoyed It greatly. I uni recommending it every
place I go.
“I wish you would write some outlines (not a story, as I wish to make my
own story) about the tenderest thing you ever saw an ALLY soUtier do. (The
reason for underlining the word ally Is because a German soldier never does
anything tender. I guess you know' that.) We are hearing g«w»d news at>out
wluit the allies are doing to the Huns. 1 hope It is true. (We bear It dally In
the newspapers.)
“Another thing I wish to ask you. I have been reading utx»ut Charles
Muev, eleven-year-old war hero, who has been In some of the* biggest battles
during the war. Also I have been reading about John Traverse*ftornwell. Why
do not true American boys have the sum** chain***? Mother says L couldn’t
handle a gun. But did John Traverse Cornwell handle a gun?
“You might think I am silly, talking this way, hut I it. This war
stands for democracy ami many other things. Why cannot people who wunt
and stand for democracy and wish democracy to he the ruler, tight for It? An
other thing, I fully realize that there are plenty of ways right hero at home
that I can do to'help make the world safe for democracy. bat other boys have
actually fought for It, so why couldn’t I? Think it over and then write uud tell
me what you think.
“Well. I hope you have barrels of luck, and send you barrels of love. Lov
ingly, your brother Haul.”
