10 All Together, all the Time, let's Help the President back up the American Flag. True Americanism. The true American IK the one who in going to help Uncle Sain out. Ho IH going to buy Liberty Loan bonds; he is going to give liberally to the Hod Cross; ho Is going to help make more comfortable the life of the soldiers. and sailors who are in the service of his country.

The true American will combat every profiteer who tries to boost, prices on of life; he will avoid profiteering himself and will avoid waste. The man who does not observe all of these conditions of true Americanism is open to suspicion. To say the least he Is no good citizen. lo the service of (lie colors Is not of a complaining sort', and In fact seems lo accept (roubles nil they come. Most people would be anarchists who faced such an Injustice as this woman apparently loss of her mainstays, the sickening of her IIUB hand, I lie apparent Impossibility of kpopliiK up iho payments of the loan on her home she has occupied for yearn-- while her very rich not Riving anythlUK material or vital, and insists upon the payment of the 1'iicrnst on a mnnll debt.

The Telegraph hopes that there will not bo many such disheartening races as this found. The people whc ran afford to ho generous In times such UK these, to families which have wont their sons Into the army Khoultl be gonoroiiH and should not regard any obligation to adhdro to noHs Miles. This is going to he a hard winter with many families. Those who can afford to bo kindly to IIOHO who are sacrificing much should kindly. The Red Cross can do much, but it can not do I Is going to need helpful co-opera Ion of those In affluence, and those Hie creditor class.

The Telegraph xilloves that it would be very em wrrasslng for any creditor to start iroceedlngs to foreclose on any fam ly whose boys had gone to the colons. We're Still On the Job, William.

I Salable Material. It is surprising how much salable material people have that they could get rid of by a little newspaper For Sale ad. Also how many people who would like to get second hand material cheap, fall to get It because they don't think to advertise for It. Most people have In their stork) rooms discarded furniture of one kind or another, or frequently things- like old wagotis and farm tools.

There IH lots of good wear in this material, but it has been set aside because people were able to buy new things, But somebody would like to get it for a moderate price. By a little advertising a groat'deal of this old material would be utilized. If you want to buy second hand stoves or chairs, or aiiy article of household or farm use, It la usually easy to got it by a little newspaper notice, costing practically nothing in comparison with the saving that can be made. Cummlnga. Those who are watohlng Ihn evolution of the plans of J.

J. Oummlngs In the A. J. deal are deeply Interested In the outcome. They regard Com- inlngs as an expert In the lino of business he undertook with the A.

J. Uno. They consider that every move that has been made by him was exactly planned out. They do not bellovo that there was anything loft to chance, or fate. They believe that when Cum- mlngg came into the A.

J. P. lino ho did so with a well thought out plan of the day that would approach when ho would be able to junk the lino. Ho did not foresee that he- could Junk It for as blgh a price UH ho has an opportunity, of doing now. He could not foresee that ho would got anywhere near what ho has a cliunco of getting) nor as much profit, hut II, is believed ho clearly fort-saw a profit to bo gained In just utmli way as ho IH trying to make It now.

As against a well, thought out plan of an expert In such' a line of business, it appears that unless the. Commission considers that It was a deliberate plan to wreck the A. Cuminlngn would 9 1 an easy Job of it. But there Is the danger lo Cuinniings that past por- formancos may weigh lioavy, and that he may slip on this one job. That Is a chance ho lakes.

However, theu'e seems Itltle doubt that ho will complying with any commission orders so long UH hr can prolong tin- case in court by appeals, and will try to wear out his opponents. Those who remember CummiilgH' tactics in'Retting the Light Power franchise In Alton say he Is a wonder when II comes to pulling things over. Uut ho mi slip. The Red Crow a Chance.
