Astute automobile dealers with an
eye for advertising are plying the

cars with which to make his expected
transcontinental tour.
The machine undoubtedly will be
photographed from coast to coast and
the subsequent publicity would make
the gift profitable to the dealer.

London, July 14-Although the
magnitude of the new British war
loan, the greatest in history, is stag
gering, the loan is record breaking in
other respects.
The loan ushers in an interest rate
Of ~ per cent, such as the British
government never before had dream
ed OF allowing As the London rate
unprecedented pushing up seems like
ly to affect government rates univer-
sally.
This is the first democratic" loan,
which means that the government ap-
pealed directly to the working people
to deal directly with the government.
British government bond has been in
less denomination that 210O, or $500.
These large denominations before ex-
cluded the small investor and work.
ing people with few dollars to spare.
Loan 10 Advertised.
One OF the most novel features
about this loan is its exploitation by
the government, including huge ad~
vertisements in the daily papers,:
great spreads Of alluring bill boarG
announcements, distribution of hand
bills, popular concerts, and free meet
ings, with such star attractions as,
Premier Asquith and A. Bonar Law
The time was rather adroitly chos-
en-, at the beginning Of July, just as
the Britisher is casting up his half
yearly accounts.
One OF the strange features OF this
appeal Is that the government will
take money from one of its pockets
and put it in another pocket. The
thrifty workingman uses the postal
banks
The government has the use OF the
deposits. Now, when a workingman
takes a war bond, he draws his de-.
posit from the government postal bank
in order to buy the bond, SO that the,
money merely passes from one gov
eminent fund to another. This
change increased the government
interest charge from 2h on the post
al deposit to 4k on the war bond.

The Spell Of Christmas.

Opoe more, We are under the spell
OF Christmas. We cannot be sour or

We have been subjected to shower

Iy, accessible to life's best memories.
reverent toward religious faith, and
almost willing to go to church. All
this may seem to our pagan mind as
foolish as a revival Of religion, some
thing inconsistent with proper eco

A PRETTY velvet cap bordered with

to make and therefore interesting to
those who like to undertake such
things for themselves. With them
are pictures of lace evening cap

modish accessories of evening dress
that the home dressmaker may under
take with every chance of success.

best in the natural taupe color, but

There are several patterns by which
the velvet cap may be made. A

The Shirt-Waist Holder.

Made in white, gray or black are
shirt.waist holders which are really
narrow belts, fastening with three
clasps and attachments OF rubber.
They obviate the necessity of holding
the shirt waist with pins. However,
many women will recall that when a
firm offered prize a short time ago
for the best fastener for shirt
waist, nothing was found to be so Sc
cure and satisfactory as the common
safety pin used in quantity.

The pointed evening cap is made
of white satin that Is brocaded with
silver figures and edged with silver
braid. A frame of fine wire is needed
as foundation for this. These
frames are to be had made of a silver

essary to cover or conceal the wires

The short, full cape, trimmed with
marabou, is made of soft satin. All
the standard pattern companies fur

PRODUCTS of Plow and Farmer
Who Lives at Home Should

BY Peter Radford
Lecelrer National Farmers Union

Inc recent action Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in
granting an increase in freight
rates IN the eastern classification
OF territory; the application OF
the roads by state and interstate
commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances OF Pres
ident Wilson ON the subject
bring the farmers of this natio,
lace to face with the problem OF
an increase in freight rates. 1t
Is the policy of the Farmers
onion to meet the issues affect
ing the welfare OF the farmers
squarely and we will do SO il,
this instance.
The transportation facilities OF
the United States are inadequate
to effectively meet the demands
OF commerce and particularly in
the South and West additional
railway mileage is needed to ac-
commodate the movement of farm
products. II in the wisdom of
our Railroad Commissions an in
crease in freight rates is neces-
sary to bring about an improve
ment IN our transportation SER
vice, and an extension OF our
mileage, then an increase should
be granted and tn. farmer is will
ing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to
nm, but we .have some suggeS-
tons to make as to the manner in
which this increase shall be lev
led.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Re-
SiStance.
The freight rates of the nation
have been built up along lines OF
least resistance. The merchant,
the manufacturer; the miner, the
miller, the lumbcrman and the
cattleman have had their traffic
bureaus thoroughly organized and
in many instances they have pur-
sued the railroad without mercv
and with the power of organized
tonnage they have hammered the
lie out OF the rates and with ur-
restrained greed they have eaten
the vitals out Of our transporta-
ton system and since we have
had railroad commissions, these
interests, with skill and cumming,
are Represented at every hearing
in which their business rs in
vOlved.
The farmer i. seldom repre-
scented at rate hearings as his or
ganlzations have never had the
finances to employ counsel to de-
vcIop his side Of the case and as
result, the products OF the pillow
bear all unequal burden OF the
freight expense.

STOCKHOLDERS

The increasing number of stock
holders in Canadian Pacific railway
gives a vivid indication OF the
growth of confidence in the COM
panys position, and in the Domin-
ion of Canada. as center for CAPT.
tai investment.
In the annual meeting OF the g..

Sir Thomas Shaughnessy remarked
that there were upwards OF l4,OOO
shareholders whose holdings did not
exceed so shares, each, OF the COM
pany's stock. BY June. 1913, this
number had swelled to $1,000.
The Financial Times secured the
definite assurance this week that
there are now $4,000 names on the
company's list. OF persons holding
so shares or less. This is a mar
velous record, and gives striking
evidence OF the increasing popular
ity of the shares among small in
vestors.
The dramatic increase In cana
dian Pacifics earnings continues to
be a sensation in the railroad world

confident that the company will
easily earn it's 10 per cent dividend
