CONSERVATION AND ECONOMY. "We hear conservation and economy linked together so much these days that some of us do not realize that these two terms are not synonymous. 1 . a distinct meaning and each policy a separate place in the war plan. ‘Semetimes they work in harmony and sometimes they do not. .But let us consider each one separately. A Econoniy, briefly, is saving money. It means eliminating waste of any commodity, developing our resources to the fullest extent and giving up non-essentials. In economizing, each in- dividual must decide what things are not absolutely necessary to his well-being. Of course the objects sacrificed will be very different. One person will economize -on his wardrobe, an- other on his housekeeping expenses and a third on his amuse- ments. And yet all these will work together in harmony for the national good. Labor will be released to carry on govern- ment enterprises and money will be saved for investment in thrift stamps and Liberty bonds. To economize then keep your eye upon your pocket book and let your personal tastes dictate the means of cutting down your expenses. " "In conservation, on the other hand, individual taste cannot play a part.” There are certain commodities absolutely neces- sary for our armies and for those ‘of our allies. While the demand for these articles is greater than.ever, the world’s supply, for reasons which will be sufficiently obvious to anyone who considers the question, is much smaller than usual. - If we, who can substitute other articles for those in question, neglect to do so, and limit still further the already inadequate supply, the government with plenty of money. would nevertheless be unable to procure them, our brave soldiers would suffer need- . 1ess hardships, and the result might be the loss of the war. Gov- ernment experts with their fingers on the pulse of the world’s business announce the commodities which we must deny our- selves as far as is humanly possible. This list varies of course from time to time, but it consists in general of wheat, sugar, fats, meat, fuel and wool. We must sacrifice even economy if we find the substitutes more expensive than the articles to be saved, and we must at any cost of personal comfort or money conserve - what the government asks us to conserve for our soldiers who are giving up everything for us. —_— 00— «LO. THE POOR INDIAN,” NOW VERY MUCH MODERN. “Lo, the poor Indian,” and all that sort of stuff, is in the discard these days and has been for a long time. Those who reside in the effete east and in the middle west and who-have been wont to read Indian lore and stories written in fiction have become familiar with the opening sentencs of this paragraph, but “Lo, the poor Indian,” has developed into pretty strong calibre in every way and they are becoming a class of citizen- ship that is of the very best and a people that it is good to know. Generous, patient, law abiding, aggressive and progressive they are taking their places in the business life of the country, and specially in Minnesota are the Chippewas evidencing their spirit in the lines that have to do with the progress of the state. The representativs now in Bemidji attending the annual convention of the Chippewas include many of the old timers who have kept abreast of the trend of progress, and with the hearty co-operation of the younger generations are alive to their interests and are being felt.-by those who might have lost sight of the real facts in the case. And that they are 100 per cent Americans there is not the slightest doubt, for their war activities, their support of the gov- ernment and their enlistments in the military have evidenced their loyalty and patriotism to THEIR country. They are heartily welcome to Bemidji. —— INDIAN TRIES ROOSEVELT STUNT—SAME RESULT. An Indian named Coffey endeavored to emulate the ex- ample of Roosevelt in the national republican convention in 1912, when Coffey bolted the annual convention of the Minne- sota Chippewas in session in Bemidji. It appears things didn’t suit Mr. Coffey and he endeavored to “bust up” the meeting, but he “couldn’t play” and folded up his tent and treaked back to the old stamping ground, leaving President Morrison and the delegates with business ability to transact the program of the convention in a most proper manner. — Reports are persistent that Victor Power of Hibbing is entertaining notion of becoming a candidate as an independent for the governorship in the fall election. Rumor also has it that the Nonpartisan league might endorse him, as it tried to snare him on its primary ticket. Well, if “Vic” is merely de- sirous of a little pastiming he might run. The result, of course, would be another matter. —_— Billy Sunday has closed his six weeks campaign in Duluth. If those who “hit the trail” will stick to their resolves there will be a vast improvement all along the line in Duluth. Stick, brother, stick. A man who is ashamed to acknowledge his God and do the right thing has his wishbone where his backbone ought to be.

Street urchins anxious to play “in the trenches” climbed up fmong the bags, causing a loose one to stip, with the result that thousands of bags fell in. an avalanche' about many of the statues. - It was thereupon found that the bags were filled with stoucs or clinkers. 60.
