LOYALTY IN WAR TIME.
Loyalty in peace times and
loyalty In war times are two
distinct things. Not much is
required to pass the loyalty test
when one's country is not at
war; a simple compliance w'th
the law is all that is required.
But loyalty in war times is
not a passive quality. At such
a time one may be without loy-
alty and still not be disloyal. A
person of this type will do noth-
ing either to assist or to harm
his country. Hv will not give
himself to his country's service
and he will not contribute fi-
nancial support. Neither will
he discourage others from doing
this. He will do or say noth-
ing treasonable, and neither
will he do or say anything to
put heart in the fighting forces
or to uphold the Nation in its
struggle. He will be simply a
passive onlooker. And that is
not being loyal.
Our country is fighting in the
moat desperate struggle of his-
tory. It is a struggle so vast
and momentous as to demand
the most complete support of
every one of its citizens, Tus-
sive loyalty—the loyalty of
peace times—is not sufficient.
The brand of loyalty now de-
manded is the kind that impels
one to offer himself and his all,
if necessary, that his country
may be victorious in the great
conflict.
Most of us can not go into the
fighting forces; most of us can
not enter into those industries
directly connected with the war,
but all of us cnn show our
neighbors that, we have the
right brand of patriotism.
Our Government is urging
upon us the necessity of saving
as an essential to victory. We
are told that there is not enough
man power and not sufficient
materials in the country to win
a quick victory if we continue
to use this man power and
these materials as we did before
the war. It is printed out that
there are now more than 2,000,-
000 men in the army and navy,
and that by August 1 this num-
ber will be increased to H.000.-
000, with a steady addition to
that number from then on.
These men not only cease to be
producers, but they become con-
sumers on a vast scale.
Thus It is that we are urged
to buy only tho«p things which
we need in order that we shall
not use up labor and waste ma-
terials and transportation, so
vitally necessary to the Govern-
ment in its war work and so
much needed in the manufac-
ture of things essential to the
health and efficiency of our cit-
izens.
By following the Govern-
ment's request to produce to
our maximum capacity and to
consume as little as possible, we
shall give practical expression
to our loyalty—a militant loyal-
ty, the brand which stamps us
as being willing to do our part
at home by sacrificing, by get-
ting down to a war basis, by
backing up our Government
with all our strength. With
our money savings we can then
buy War Savings Stamps and
perform a double service by
giving the Government current
funds with which to buy the la-
bor and materials so much need-
ed for war purposes which w»
have refrained ftom using. That
is loyalty.
Most people in the country,
despite the fact that we are at
war, are making more money
than ever before. That it all
the more reason why we should
save now and buy War Savings
stamps. We have the opportu-
to help the Government
to provide for our own fu-
; will think more of sav-
you wffl
that there
you do
The country was deeply im-
pressed when it was informed,
about two months ago, that
troops were being moved over-
seas at the rate of 200,000 a
month. But an achievement
which seemed so great at the
time it was revealed to made to
shrink to rath»r modest propor-
tions in the light of General
March's latest statement of the
troop movemeni. On Satur-
day, June 15, General March
said, during his weekly confer-
ence with the newspaper corre-
spondents, that more than 800,-
000 men had been moved over-
seas. Speaking to them last
Saturday, a week later, he put
the number at 900,000. An in-
crease of 100,000 in a week in-
dicates a movemi-nt at a rate of
more than 400,000 a month. Not
only has i the movement been
doubled within three months,
but it has been increased to the
point where we moved in one
month only 100 000 less than
the number whicn, according to
some estimates, would be the
movement for th* entire year.
We have only to maintain this
rate of transport to have the
whole of the force already
trained, something like 1,800,-
000 men, overseas by Sept. 1
This prospect may shed some
light on the remark of Con-
gressman Caldwell, made after
a visit to General March, that,
so far as the United States is
concerned, "the var will begin
in September."
Such an achievement, proba-
bly without precedent as an ex-
hibition of energy and organi-
zation, makes a most ironic
commentary on the outcry,
heard in congress a few months
ago, that our plans bad "brok-
en down". Did those who said
so believe it? Or were they in-
dulging in a bit of hysterics for
the patriotic purpose of deceiv-
ing Germany as to the progress
of our preparations? Whether
that was their purpose or not,
it is pretty likelv that, the pres-
ident and Mr. Baker derived a
good deal of the fortitude nec-
essary to remain silent under
false charges from the reflec-
tion that the more unjust those
charges became the more thev
were likely to mislead Germany.

Federal Food Administrators
Favor System of Price Pub-
lication and Inspection.
Everyone should ask himself,
"What is my share in the war?"
The share of th^ civilian who
can not fight is to do what Pres-
ident, Wilson asks him to do-
to pledge himself to save to thi
utmost of his ability and with
bis savings to buy War Savings
stamps.
We have heard enough of tin
Hun prison camps to know that
we do not want an of our boys
put in them if we can help it.
When you save to the utmost of
your ability and invest your
savings in War Savings stamps
you help to keep our boys out
of the prison camps.
Do-not expect our men to die
for you if you are not worth
living for. Show your army
and navy that jvu are worthy
of protection. Save to the ut-
most of your ability and buy
W. S. S. with your savings.
Help the terrified civilian
population now under the heel
of the Hun. Buy War Savings
stamps for a quick victory.

The Federal Food Administrators
of tbe 48 state* of tbe Union were
unanimous in their approval of dis-
carding the present system of regu-
lar monthly license's' reports and in
favoring a new system of price pub-
lication and inspection. Because
of this decision at their conference
recently In WasliinKton, the public
will he protected In the matter of
prices by the price publications and
the work of the price interpreting
committees and the price reporters.
Administrator Peden has appoint-
ed 4ti pritv inU-rpreting committees
over Texas, and many more ore in
the course of being organized. It
It, his hope to have u price Interpre-
ting committee within u radius of
75 miles or each other In all the
well-populated sections of the State.
The function of i, prlre reporter
is to viali the small and retail gro-
wers, check up their coxts anil sell-
ing prices, nulling original report
to Washington and duplicate to
Htate headquarters. These prices
are checked against the price inter-
preting lists governing the section
In which they wele assembled, and
where differences exist, the county
administrator and the chairman uf
tlie price interpreting committee
makes an Investigation and deter-
mines whether or not adjustment
may not he made without a hearing
and II* subsequent penalization,
where guilt is established.
The Interpreted pHce# of the fair
price list are Intended by the Food
Administrator to lie used by the
housewives as guides for marketing,
and tilie grocery establishments are
expected to sell their commodities
within the minimum and maximum
prices recommended
In many cases differences In quo-
tations Is justified, because the costs
may call Tor an idvanced figure.
The merchant Is sustained In oper-
ation on a cost piu.i busls.

The government is not asking one
tiling of us in the v;ay of food con-
servation that ts not good for us as
Individuals.
And aside from winning tbe war.
There is not one request or re-
quirement from' wulch we will not
benefit In health, increased activity.
Increased earning and increased
happiness.
We all eat too much.
If we would cut our eating ono-
ihalf we would not only conserve
food to feed our array and that of
our allies, but we would Improve our
health and activity at the same time.
And It's easy!
No diet scheme is necessary.
No meatless or whentless day
would he necessary.
All that would b;< required would
be to eat what we want, what agrees
with us.
But-
Cut down the quantity.

One of the Issues growing out of
the conservation of Wheat is the
question of what is to be done with
Wheat Breakfast Foods. Adminis-
trator Peden consider* it a patriotic
duty for the public to eat the wheat
breakfast cereals, whereby doing so
It will enable the grocer to sell food
which would otherwise spoil on his
shelves during the hot weather.
The wheat used In the breakfast
foods Is not suitable for shipment
abroad ns It Is not made of the part
Of the kernal which keeps good in
shipment
The flfty-flfty rule of last Jar. lary
28th, destroyed sale of wheat break-
fast foods because oatmeal and oth-
er breakfast foods could be bought
as a substitute for flour and wheat
breakfast foods could not. The
food administration has refused re-
quests of retailers that they be per-
mttted tfl sell the wheat foods as a
flour substitute because such action
would stimulate flour sales, which is
not desirable under present condi-
tions.
R. L, Neville, director of grocers,
has extended permission to grocers
to advertlae the wheat breakfast
foods and sell them at a low price,
if necessary, and thus get them on
the market before they spoil.

A Cake of
Castile Soap
Aryflial fats are far more vital for other needs
than in the making of soaps. Animal fat soap,
on the other hand, is not to be compared in
cleansing or health value with a soap made from
olive oil. Therefore, a good castile soap is not
onlythe purest soap to employ, but because of
purity the best soap to use . The old favorite
cleanser for the baby's skin. Why should itnot
be just as good for you?
