THE SUNDAY EDITION
Did the Sunday edition, the Weekly
Post, make an impression upon you?
In glancing it over, the entire eight
pages, did you notice that there we res
less than two pages of articles that
you had read before, “lifted” from
the Daily Gateway? How did it seem
to have a Sunday morning paper at
the breakfast table with the very la
test news? From week to week there
will be improvements, pictures, etc.
just as soon as all arrangements can
oe completed. Also remember that
the extra price of the Gateway with
the Sunday edition is only 25 cents a

FIGHTING THK ENEMY WITHIN
The Enemies within are not all per
sonal. We recognize that as a peo
ple in the splendid fight for food con
servation that is being waged. The
great American appetite is the chief
of the impersonal enemies and the
great American people under the
able suggestion, counsel and di ac
tion of Mr. Hoover are doing things
to it that even a year ago one would
not have thought possible.
The fine fact is the readiness with
which the people have recognized
this enemy and proceeded to deal
with it. It is the manifestation of a
national self-denial not immediately
enforced by inflexible and inexorable
conditions as in war ridden lands
where the means of sustaining life
are not to be had or are but scantily
>upplied. We are fighting this en
emy in a land of plenty, that those
who live in the lands of Have Not
may have. The war we wage is of
mixed patriotism and altruism; and
**ach in this national manifestation
is of a high type.
BAN ON BANQUETS
As a new phase of conservation,
(Governor Whitman, of New York, has
announced that he will not attend
public dinners or banquets for the
duration of the war. He believes that
the least the stay-at-homes can do is
to deny themselves unnecessary plea
sures. It is to be hoped that Gover
nor Whitman’s example will not be
come nationally contagious.
Banquets have developed into such
a universal feature of American busi
ness and social life that the thought
of abandoning them can not be enter
tained without resentment. The plea-t
sures associated with them are, so to
speak, a permanent part of the joy
of life. Think of the exquisite delight
for the tired business man coming
home, donning his evening suit, re
turning down town, and waiting an
hour and a half to work up an appe
tite for the cold soup which forms the
initial course of the big feed, and the
other more or less delectable viands
to follow.
Of course, it is the feast of reason
and the flow of the soul in liquid that
bubbles up from the bottom of the
glass (in wet states) that attracts
the tired professional and business
man to the banquet. He can scarcely
res* • \ 1 \* impatience until the time
wh n the n st eloquent and forceful
speaker in the assemblage rises to
surprise his audience with the ever
old. ever new, “We have with us to
night—which entirely original
form of introduction is used for half
a dozen or more orators whom the
banqueters cheer to the echo until
long past midnight. Does Governor
Whitman really expect that these
pleasures will hi' suspended because
of his whim?
Do not other desirable things, apart
from the keen pleasures, attach to
banquets? Shall we take no account
of the increased mentaJ. and physical
vigor with which the average man
tackles his job the morning after?;
is not his youthful strength and spir-i
it renewed in the crisp, pure, health
giving atmosphere, uncontaminated:
by tobacco smoke, that fills the ban- \
<jnet hall? Governor Whitman takes
a narrow view. We do not need ex
pensive banquets. No less distin-,
guished an American than William
Jennings Bryan set the precedent of;
a *1 banquet at which all flubdubbery
was eliminated, and the whole even
ing given over to simple, unalloyed
moral uplift. Dispense with the ac
customed pleasures, if you must, but
don’t give up that great American
institution, the banquet, which has
come down to us from our colonial
forefathers.
Help Hoover because he is helping
you. By helping Hoover you are
helping the government, yourself and
those who arc without food.
Nothing about the Kaiser so far
eating his Christmas dinner in Paris.
Oh yes, that was two years ago he
made that remark! Evidently he has,
given up the idea and will dine at1
home with his family.

EDISON SUGGESTS
USING SAILING
VESSELS AS
STEAMERS
- -
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. —Conver-*
1 sion of moit' than a million tons of
American sailing vesols into steam
I ships was proposed to the shipping
board today by Thosam A. Edison.
Although the placing of engines j
land coal bunkers in the ships would j
cut down their cargo space the super
ior speed attained would more than
make up for the difference, in the
opinion of Mr. Edison.
There are under American registry
more than 5,000 sailing vessels of
considerably more than 1,000,000 ton
nage. The government also will have
under its control some 400,00 tons of
sailing ships turned over by the
Drench government.
Henry Ford’s automobile plant at
Detroit, now largely engaged in thej
manufacture of airplane cylinders, is
about to begin also the production of
ship’s fittings. Mr. Ford called on the
shipping board today' and arranged i
to turn out for the government small j
parts which his plant can produce in
1 large quantities.

MILK AND MEAT
MOST NEED ED
BY THE HUNS
MISSOULA, Mont., Dec. 3. —|
Mountains of potatoes will not save >
Kaiserism if butter and oils are lack
ing. The greatest corn crop in the,
world would do the Germans no good •
if they have no milk and meat.
These statements were made in a
recent lecture here by Dr. W. G.
Bateman, assistant professor of phys
iological chemistry at the University
of Montana.
“Fueled foods are absolutely essen-j
tial to the human system,” Dr. Bate
man declared. “These foods are pro
teins, fats and carbohydrates such as
starch and sugar. F ats, including
vegetable oils, are getting extremely
scarce in Germany.

SHORTAGE OF SMALL
COINS AND HOW
TO HELP SITUATION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. — Because
of a threatening severe shortage of
cents, dimes and other small coins,
Raymond T. Baker, director of the
mint, appeals to persons who collect
small coins as a savings hobby to ex
change them for currency of larger
denominations to relieve the shortage.
War revenue taxes have caused such
an enlarged demand for pennies that
mints hereafter will work Sundays
in addition to days and nights, as at
present.
