Show THE NEED OF ECONOMY AND SAVING ; The United States Is now nt war. A large pirt of our country's human energy is taken away from tho farms, factories, and Industries of veacc, and until tho war ends all tv.elr energies will bo developed to fighting. A great portion of our productive energy Is being lamed Into tho cre-ntlon cre-ntlon of Implements of destruction. Many of our products aro now being dovcloped to purposes o' war. Destruction De-struction Instead of construction Is tho object of n great portion of tho country's energy. As much of tho human oncrgy and productlvo capacity of tho nation, are now being devoted to tho purposes pur-poses of war, so should tho propor amount of the money of tho United states bo so devoted. Ho who offers , his Itfo for his country Is offering tho greatest posslblo sacrlfico, but jthe American men nnd women who .support tho government with their .money aro doing their part. This war Is going to bo financed largely out of tho savings of tho American peoplo during tho war. It Is not too great a sacrlfico to make1 for ono's country In tlmo of war to deny ono's self luxuries, to cut down unnecessary expenses, to load quieter nnd busier lives. Not only will tho money thus saved and used to buy Liberty Loan bonds help tho United States but tho diminishing consumption consump-tion of food nnd other articles will do much to relievo tho country from tho strain of war. The less tho peoplo uso tho less strain there Is upon tho productlvo capacity of tho nation and tho mors can bo devoted to winning tho war; Tho moro tho peoplo savo tho moro liberal financial support can they glvo tho government. This is tho people's peo-ple's war, and It Is to bo financed by the American people, not by the rich and not by tho poor, but by tho I rich and the poor, tho capitalist and tho wago earner, tho minor and the farmer and tho manufacturer. |
