FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918 A Word To Boys And Girls Within a few weeks the scho the Village hundreds of boys will begin the long 1s of will have closed summer vacation. Some will have found useful employment. Some will have found places in military camps. Some will have determined to pass the summer months in comparative idleness. : Every boy and every girl should have something useful to do for a part of the day each day during the vacation. There are many and un- usual demands being made upon every community, to meet which the people ought to co-operate. Girls may be of much assistance in the summer work of preserving the food which is raised in the war gardens. Indeed, there will be many ways in which high school girls may serve in the community canning kitchen, both to their advantage and to the benefit of the cause for which the "enterprise is being established. Boys will be able to find other quite as useful and wholesome disposition to make of their spare time, and thus, 'during the summer, be able to assist S__ in the community endeavor to make this~Village a helpful factor in win- ning the war, an asset rather than a liability to the nation. It is time now for the boy who wishes to make himself useful to his country and to the community to . look about for the niche in which he will fit for the summer. It is only the very young children who should be summer filled with nothing but play. looking forward to a Living Up To Our Reputation Before we entered the war America had won her reputation, held in al- most every quarter of the globe, of being a nation of money lovers, "dollar chasers", as we were called. Americans themselves have always acknowledged the charge to a degree but have insisted that there is a great and vital difference between being money lovers and being misers. We have loved money because the things that money will buy. Today we are giving asi no other nation has given. Immediately, be- fore the war had really touched us personally, we gave in every drive for funds far in excess of the sum asked of us. There has never been any doubt of a hearty and generous response to the demands which the times create. And all our generosity is in exact accord with the American nature. We like money, and bend for what money will buy, and now the greatest every effort to obtain it, treasure of life is to be bought by the people who have the most money to spend for it, peace, peace for our- ' selves and for those small nations which cannot obtain selves. : Peace and comfort and safety of it for them- and we like | the: men who have gone to fight for it, and those other men who are fighting and dying in the same cause, these constitute the supreme desire of the American people. Is it any wonder that every fund asked to se- cure it is oversubscribed, that the American people are willing to do without those things which they have in the past bought with their dollars, in order that they may have more to give to the war funds, to the Red Cross and to the other relief organ- izations? It is the true American character which stands revealed, a demonstra- ition which it is worth something to have given to the other (1 the world. crease ma I'he increase in the railroad rates income of the trans- It wil crease of the portation systems. end to discourage unnecessary travel, a very time. For the period of the war there is work for every person to deo, work necessary to produce it. That work should not be neglected or inter- rupted is important at this time of necessity for maximum output of whatever is of use to the govern- ment or essential to the civil popula- tion. Needless travel does so intes- rupt and produce such neglect and hence its discouragement is not only wise but needful. This is but a by-product of the change in railroad rates, but it is a change worth considering in the esti- mation of the result which will de- velop from it. ay Feel Food Shortage The British meat shortage is being felt more severely than at any time since war was started. That the shortage is not confined to meats, however, is shown by the fact that effective control of the milk supply is already being considered, in order to meet a possible greater shortage later in the year, and that some sec- tions of English labor are favoring extensions of the compulsory ration- ing system to bread, cheese, and tea.

NEW CONSTITUTION CAMPAIGN OPENS Representative Men from All Paris of the State Urge Revisions The campaign to get a new and up- to-date State Constitution for Illi- nois was opened officially on Satur- day, June 1, at a meeting at the Mid- Day Club in Chicago, which Govern- or Lowden termed "the most re- i presentative gathering of men of all | parties, interests and factions that I | have seen in my lifetime".

He said in part: "If the call for a constitutional convention is voted down next fall the people of Illinois must under- great problems growing out of the st and that they are going to face war with their hands tied by an ironglad constitution incapable of amendment and impossible to use. "Insuch an untoward event either the people wil be forced to disregard the mandates of the constitution or the Supreme Court will be driven tc strained interpretations of many of its most antiquated provisions.
