WS.& tees- sw Twa fHQXU> ST ATM Buy Them And Help Win The War FOR SALE EVERYWHERE 'laking ('are of tho Slackers. i Greenwood Journal. ) It is woll enough for mon who have no profitable employment to under stand that they are not only under stood to he on the slacker list, but that the government is Intensely in terested in them personally. lt is interested to a degree that lt has never manifested before, and it is going to keep up this interest until something happens thal will be for tho welfare of tho slacker and the whole country. Wo arti informed that where men are drawing wages for two or three days a week all that is necessary ls to have this fact made known and they will receive prompt attention. This is Just as it should bo. While the whole country is doini; svhat it eau to help win the war, people who aro disposed to shirk should bo called to time, and made to do their part. Every fellow who ls too lazy and in different to work should be sent forthwith Into the service. There should bo a law passed extending the age limit so as to apply to such peo ple. One of the heaviest loads that overy community has to carry ls the load that is placed upon them by the loafers and idlers. To say nothing of their failure to produce anything and the fact that they must be sup ported by the labor of others, they are a hindrance and a menace. We heard thc remark made recently to the effect that a certain man who would not work himself ns he should was in the way and preventing oth ers who were employed with him from doing their duty. Ivet vho slackers be rounded up everywhere, and we shall find a won derful improvement in conditions all over the country. While the good women are doing their best to con servo and to help in evory way possi ble these idlers should be made to got down to business. Whilo ono may not care to be put down as a meddler, duty demands that overy slacker should be reported to the proper authorities so that his case may receive immediate attention.

The suggestion has been mado hy tho government authorities that one day each week be set aside when au tomobile owners shall leave their cars lu the garage and thus save gas oline because it has been found that gasoline must be saved voluntarily or by compulsion. The demand ls Increasing constantly, and although the supply has been holding up well lt has been determined that some re strictions will have to bo put in force if all requirements are to be met. A. great deal of gasoline ls being used by the armies abroad and more will bc used as the size of the armies In creases.

Tho joy rider who takes his car and burns up the road every night needs curbing anyway. In a Way the government ls doing the joy rider a service hy trying to keep ilim within bounds.
