sicmt Big Posters Bellow at English Men and Women to Give Up Vacations and Wear Their Old Clothes, But Nobody Pays Any Attention, Says Russell. London, Eng., Sept. in.—"To dross extravagantly in war time is worse than bad form it is unpatriotic!" So bellows at you, from most of the big billboards of London now, posters in big type. It is only one of 1,000 urgent com mands given in big posters, little post ers, sermons, editorials and Hyde Park oratory. Save money! That's the idea. Deny yourself. Cut pie. Give up your va cation. Pinch. Save. It is the king's wish and the government's order. I judge from these appeals that pleasure amounts to treason felony and that a moment's pleasure now may cost the empire. One of the most startling of the posters asks: Are You Helping the Germans? Then the poster explains you are guilty of this crime if you spend mon ey in any of several specified ways. A poster addressed to women and headed "Bad Form in Dress" con demns the fair sex for not heeding the government's demand to wear old dresses and things. You can imagine how these appeals would fill with ecstasy the souls of all storekeepers, dressmakers and tailors —if anybody paid any attention to them. But nobody does. Economy? London never was so ex travagant. It dances down the war road flinging money away with both hands. Except for the millions of poor slobs at the bottom everybody has it and everybody spends it.

The increase has now reached 65 per cent. In August, 1914, household coal sold at $8.50 a ton. It now sells at $10.60. Beef has jumped from 18 cents to 36 cents a pound in the two years bacon 16 to 38, milk 6 to jlO, butter 24 to 36, flour 4 to 8, bread 10 to 18, coffee 24 to 32, sugar 5 to 12.

Apparently, the government is not impressed. -It did attempt to check the soaring: price of coal. But the miners, by strikes and threats of more strikes, had secured increases in wag es. So the mine owners demanded the right to boost prices. The govern ment agreed and prices soared anoth er 62 cents a ton, wholesale, to be fol- GRAND Prank Wolf, Mgr.

"MAKE OLD SHIRTS INTO KITCHEN APRONS," BRITISH GOV ERNMENT ECONOMY TIP TO BRITONS At an economy exhibition held in London, says Russel, Britons were shown things about saving. Here are some of the pointers giv en the people: Don't peel potatoes. Save old hat bands and gloves and make vests from them. Everybody should keep goats. A goat yields 252 quarts of milk a year, equal to 400 pounds of meat. Everybody should keep rabbits in the backyard. Rabbits eat cabbage leaves and make good pie. Scrape together your left-over meat and make a cutlet. Old tin cans make nice pepper boxes. Take some hay and turn an old shoe box into a tireless cooker. Make your old colored shirt into a kitchen apron. Old white shirts make pretty pillow slips. Papa's pants will make a good coat for Willie.

Writing about the causes of popu lar discontent and unrest in Holland, 1 said one of the most serious facts was that while the cost of living was always mounting upon the workers they saw with growing disgust the great corporations making fabulous profits from war conditions. Take a look, then, at this Hst, casu ally complied, of a few of the profits being made by British concerns able to bask in or near the sunlight of war contracts: The Albion Steam Coal company in creased profits from $120,470 in 1914 to $220,680 in 1916 Locketts' Colliery, from $592,000 to $1,080,325 The Eng lish Sewing Cotton company, from $976,300 to $2,115,635 the Forestra! Land company, from $1,916,810 to $4, 504,735 the 'Spillera and Baker com pany, flour, from $446,755 to $1,087, 080. Similar profits are being piled up all about the country by corporations and individuals already rich. How long can this go on, with the cost of living rising day by day?

"When we contemplate Industrial and commercial conditions," says Mr. Hughes, "we see "that we are living in a fool's paradise," This Is the con dition to which the administration and its supporters have deliberately closed their eyes. When the war cloud broke over Europe, this country was experi encing the most serious depression It had known since 1893, when the Demo cratic party and Its policies were In full control of the United States. Suddenly there came from over the sea a demand for munitions of war, clothing, food, supplies, everything needed by vast armies and by coun tries whose sons were taken from the field and the workshop, never to re turn. a result our exporta and the bal ance of trade In our favor have reach ed figures far surpassing any ever be fore known. Temporarily, especially 1b the Bast, there Is no lack of work at high wages, for Europe oust pay whatever price America aska. No thoughtful person would Imagine that this condition Is anything like real prosperity. How false It Is, we In Oregon, who have the clearer vision, because not clouded by the smoke from munitions factoiiea, hate fully felt and folly appreciated. What the Republican candidate for president says about It the Democrata know to be true: "Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of Uvlng. This they have failed to do, but did reduce the oppor tunities of making a living. Let ua not forget the condltlona that existed la this country under the new tariff prior to the war. Production had de creased business was languishing new enterprises were not undertaken instead of expansion there waa cur tailment and our streets were filled with the unemployed."
