MILLIONS GOING TO WASTE

sources Must Aid the Helpless, Ho
Asserts-Points Out Vast Riches of
the United States and the Number of
Dependents.
The present .,'sr WIUTW a bcue?t to
the entire world in thnt it will Increase
tho total efficiency and snving power
of the people lu the various notions,
both those nt war and those on thin
continent, according to a recent state
ment i?nde hy Edward A. Woods1, pres
ident of tho National 1,1 fe Underwrite
era* association.
Mr. Woods declnred that the Unit
ed States, with national wealth three
times that of France nnd nearly double,
that of either Great Britain or Ger
many, was a nimmo to the world in the
prodigality with which it wastell its
substance. Lack of thrift, he asserted,
was a menace to the continued, pros
perity pit the country Just as sorely as
the saute characteristics displayed in
Homo destroyed her world cwnlrc.
"We have a wealth of $150.000.000.
ooo ns compared with $85.000.000.000
for England mid $80.000.000.000 tor
Germany," snld Mr. Woods, "More
over, our Income of $35.000.000,000 ti
yenr is larger in proportion to this
wealth than that of any other nation.
Not ouly have we therefore the great
est amount of weulth and the greatest
income, hut the greatest proportionate
income, 28 1-3 per cent.-, comparing
with 14 tier cent of Great Britain. 12%
per cent of Germany nnd 12 per cent
of France. We uro lncreaslug our
wealth $20.000.000 a day. or $7.000.000.
000 a year, our annual increase equat
ing tho en ti ru combined wealth of Hol
land and Portugal.
Too Many Dependonta Here.
"And yet in this great, wealthy coun
try Robert Hunter says that there ure
10.000,000 and probably ' 15.000.000 In
poverty. One-third of the population
of New York apply for charity In seveu
years. One person In ten who dies hvi
our large eitles Is burled in u rump* s's
grave. There ?re 1.250.000 dependent
wage earners costing this country
$220.000.000 a year" for their'support
who should'have -lr.::! by enough? ta
support themselves.,
"There are 1.900.225 children, ten to
fifteen .years of age. making ti living
who ought to be in.school. We are
supporting about 1.000.000 \lependents j
1 omi delinquents in institutions. There j
are 18.000.000 wage earners iii this.
. country.
"Out of n commerce of the astound-,
lng Jotnl of nearly $500.000.000.000 we
are probably losing $900.000.000 a year
. by bad credit and paying $3.000.000.000
in i nt orrs t. this total clone nearly
equaling thc wealth of thrifty Switzer
land, i
"What is true of America as a nation
Is true of many Americans as individ
uals. We have large incomes, we have
great wealth, but we are forgetting
that thrift and progress mein, thc sav
ing of money, and that snvlug is iurgc
ly regardless- of wea I tit. lt ls by^ no
means those of large Incomes who com
prise the thrifty, frugal; saving portion
ofour population, it ls often the Inrgc
numbers or persons of moderate mcnns~
who by their saving mid the character
building resulting from the saying com
pose the real-hone und sinew of n na
tion. Why Ms it that, with all our in
come. America should rank fifteenth In
the proportion of. our imputation carry.
lng savings bunk accounts? 1
"Th? sd called 'American plan'.'hotel
is ntl illustration of American thrift
lessness and waste. Wc are probably
wasting from A in o rican tables today
enough to feed tho entire population of
Belgium.. lt ls the thrifty of the coun
try- who support its Institutions, who
?Iv??'tm benefactions, who are support*
lng not only their own families, but the
hospitals, the churches, the colleges or
the institutions of tho state, wiio are
paying its taxes, who are the citizens
upon whom the state, society and the
.church must rely.
"It ls a curious fact that such a de
structivo process as war ls sometimes
a,benefit to nations, Thc entire world
, ai the beginning of the present strug
gle in Europe; started to save, money.
You see war Increases the total -WhV
tcieucy and it increases the toto! saving.
. '"Let America b? np?, too free to. cast
criticism.upon our foreign warring sis
? ter nations, , It may be that the IA-,
creased thrift, and tba .Increased effi
ciency and the increased. strength of
character brought about by this great

ALFALFA SHOULD 8E

NEW CROP STARTED
And ff Old One ? Mowed Off Will
Allow New One to Grow .
More Rapidly
"Now is tho time for those who
have alfalfa to have it cut down,"
stated Mr. S. ?M. Byars, demonstra
tion agent, yesterday afternoon. ,'Mt
is mi her carly for the tim crop, but
owing to the drought, the growth
has about stopped and it should be
cut down this week.
"A great many people, think.- they
ought to wait until the alfalfa is in
bloom, but under the circumstances
lt should1 bo cut- at once. If those
who-have alfalfa will jet down and
examine the crown right next to tho
roots they will seo that ? new*crop
ls starting and that tho little shoots
are already putt'ng: forth. Tho old
crop is now feeding from the - roots
and so. is tho now one. It tho old
crop was cut forth the roots would
then be able to better feed the new
crop. Tho dry wether will prob
ably prevent any further growth of
tho old crop, and many of the loaves
will fall off within the next few dsys.
? cutting at this time will ateo' pre
yent the oats and weeds rr om going
to seed.
"To those who have alfalfa I would
suggest that lt be cut this' week', lt
seems that the weather is going to
be fail and 1 believe they evin get
i ii cured ni? right. Thc strstSa should
