Who buy Liberty Loan Bond.
THE FRENCH BOND BUYERS
The French people are the great
est investors of government bonds in
the world. At the close of the Fran
co-Prussian war in 1870 Germany de-
manded and collected from France
81 900 100000 indemnity Then the
French people, who were as loyal then
in responding to their country's need
as their soldiers are today, FASTENED
to loan this tremendous sum to their
country.
Their patriotism turned great
misfortune into great benefit.
Their thrift in thus saving their mon
ey and investing in government bonds
not only brought great prosperity to
France but the bonds rose in value all
over the world and made the French
national credit good wherever civiliza-
ton existed, Ten years after the
bonds were issued they commanded a
premium of % per cent
What the American nation is called
upon to do in lending the American
government $5,0OO,0OO, 900 and taking
its bonds therefor is little compared
with the loan of S1,0OO,OOO, 900 to
France after the Franco Prussian war
by the French people. Called upon
to do much less than their present al
lies, the French, the American people
will demonstrate that they are second
to no people in the world in patriotic
support of their government.

TEMPERANCE NOTES

tan Temperance Union.)
MAINE SAVINGS,

Under this heading the Boston Her
aid some time since commenting on
the savings banks deposits, said, cit
is good showing for Maine. Can any
other state make the claim2 No
depositOr in Maine savings bank has
ever lost a dollar that he deposited
there. 1t is to be noted, moreover, that
the savings banks by no means repre-
sent all the savings of the Maine peo-
pie that are at interest. The savings
departments of the trust companies
have 90,322 depositOrs with deposits of
$30,O00,000, or twice as much as the
demand deposits in the same institu-
tons. The national banks have mil
lions in their savings departments, and
the 1929 shareholders in the loan and
buildings associations have to their
credit an accumulated capital of $4,-
100000. These and other totals make
a showing for the thrift and industry
of Maine people that no state can bet
ter"
This remarkable testimony comes
from a newspaper avowedly hostile to
prohibition. 1t is a complete answer
to the oft-repeated falsehood of the
brewers and distillers that Maine has
been impoverished because she has
steadfastly refused to legalize the
dramshOp. In population Maine ranks
as the thirty-fourth state In the
Union. But on June 30, 1915, the de-
posits in her savings banks amounted
to $97, 423 ,088.63, a total exceeded by
only IL other states. The number Of
depositors-23S, 5S6-represents nearly
one-third of the total population of the
state, including men, women and chill
dren. Only ten states exceed Maine In
the actual number of depositOrs. The
total proportion Of depositors to popu-
htion is equaled by only FIVE states.
Deposits In building and loan assOcia-
lions amounted to $5, sos, 269, with r.
| 113 depositors. Add to this the saw
| ings deposited in trust companies and
national banks, and the per capita in
dividual deposits amount to $244.5O
for every man, woman and child In the
state.

Cheer up, all you down-hearted
souls that fear the Russians are out
of the fight for good. Read the his
tory of the French Revolution and
you will find the same identical con-
ditions prevailed among the soldiers
of the republic, until they were
taught by General Dumoriez at the
guns mouth that freedom did not
mean license and riot. These painless
troops under Napoleon pretty nigh
conquered the whole world. We will
see these eowardly Russians turn yet
and hurl the kaiser into the depths
of perdition. This is our prediction

Folly i'm GrieVtnd.

One class Of feelings can be ext1n-
guished only by the creation Of anoth-
er; one sentiment banished only by
inviting the antagonism of another /;
one interest supplanted only by the
stronger occupancy of another. So
long as this is dnperceived the over
grieving heart will seek in vain to
discipline itself. Thinking of its sor-
row as too much, instead of its sense
of duty as too little, it fails to meet
pointedly its own remedy.-James
Martineau.
