A PARABLE OF THE DOLLARS
Church Worker Distributed One Hun
drrSi With Good Results.

drcd With Good Results.
These are busy days In one of the
small Methodist churches OF Paterson,
n. ]. On a recent Sunday evening the
pastor invited W. II. Gould, n friend,
to his church to speak. Mr.. Gould
came, and made brief address. which
impressed the people present. He then
made them a unique offer. He said
he would send their pastor one hun
dred new one dollar bills, to be dis
tributed among the members and
their friends. each to receive, n single
bill, which they were to invest for one
year. The income from this dollar Is
to be brought in one year hence. and
the one whose dollar has gained the
most is TO receive prize of $50. the
next $40. Each one is now taxing his
inventive genius to the utmost. striv-
ing to make the most OF his dollar. and
when the money Is turned over the
church will have Jubilee. Some are
out now planning all sorts OF enter
tainments where they can spend Just
that dollar, to receive 1t back with the
profits, tho they are not supposed to
ask any member of the church, which
will doubtless have the influence Of
bringing them inside. One woman Is
using her dollar each week to buy
materials with which she Is making
home made cruliers; another, home-
made cakes: another. bread some.
fancy work: others crocheting; and
some are holding socials. and by the
end OF the year they expect to have a
big sum of money collected, and q
large number Of new members 10 add
to their church roll.-Christian Her.

SWats the Frisco.

Editor World: 1t is now announced
that the Frisco will not build a new
station but Will remodel its present
Tulsa dive.
Here we have still another example
OF railroad "flim-f -flam."
After all the talk of Levy and others
Tulsa gets "remodeled" station, re-
modelled l presume in the same way
Frisco finances and equipment have
been "remodeled."
Surely this calls for another ban
quet from the Chamber of Commerce
to Frisco officials.
The sooner Tulsa and its Chember
OF Commerce realize that the way TO
get anything from the Frisco roadroad
officials is to quit feeding them and
begin 20 fight them the sooner we will
get something that neither will be nor

Practically, therefore, there are now
only two possibilities open TO the pro-
poneuts Of universal peace. There can
be no universal league That would
be- nothing but q high-sounding name

There can be no coherent workable
league composed Of both democratic
and dynastic governments. Fellowship

been devised. except when the lamb is

can bc "A league Of democratic nations

in practice. II not in theory and into
the one or the other Of them every
nation In the world wnl ultimately be
drawn. One is league to enforce
peace. because enduring peace will
only come when the other league is
crushed or when an uprising Of the
king ruled people puts an end to au
tocracy and changes the course Of ma
tional intent.
1t isf therefore not inconsistent with
its belief in the desirability Of uni
versal peace that the United States has
decided 10 throw the weight Of its
men, money and resources in the bal
ance to overcome tho threat of Il

surest and quickest way to the reallza-
uon Of "A universal peace. II the COM

DOPE!

Speaking of women-which we gen.
orally are--the manner in which one
lone woman is capable of making
eight or nine different men believe
each her ideal of brain and brawn
Is an accomplishment that is far too
copious for our diminutive intellect.
Without deviating from the alley of
truth "A fraction OF an inch. we are GO
ing TO depict a little tragedy of life.
Twas merely two days ago when
we eased into a downtown cigaret and
pIugcut store.
A youth shooed us into n secluded
corner, telling us Of a wonderful girl.
She played the piano divinely and
her voice was far more melodious
than those of angels.
Furthermore. she was absolutely
crazy about him.
He contemplated hproposal of mar
riage without chance for a rejec-
ton.
So we bumed cigaret and passed
down the street
A block distant we breezed into an
other cigar palace and another ac-
quaintance was highly charged with
eNuberance.
He told us OF II wonderful girl.
She was crazy about him.
He wanted to know If It cost very
much TO support wife.
We merely bumcd another cigaret
when he told us her name.
Two guys in one block had sthe
same girl ready to marry them.
However, youth that is half smart
can tell just how he stands,

disturbance some night when she
breezes out with n real handsome stall

Strange as II may seem, II wilf~nev-
ertheless be found that her eyes have

oh, Boy!
In some quarters several objec-
tions to woman suffrage are being
based on the ground that should the

fill the state Legislature with old
women.
oh, well!
Even "old women" couldn't possibly
pass worse legislation than some of
the men have thruout the nation dur

one of the most patriotic move
ments that has been inaugurated since
the declaration of war has been SO!
on foot by Seattle man. and Is OF
national Importance. 1t is the estab-
lishment OF national headquarters
where all telegraph operators In the
United States who, by reason of age
or physical disability cannot enlist for
active service but who will ''sit in
and do the work of the able bodied
telegraphers who are called to the
front. may enroll for duty.
The Importance of this movement
may be realized when II Is considered
that many thousands Of the younger
and more expert telegraphers now
employed by the railway and COM
morcial companies as well as by pri-
vate concerns, will he called by the
signal service of the war department;
to Join the signal corps of the comba!
forces. Their places can he filled
only by men and women who are
skilled in the service.
National headquarters is at Seattle
where the enrolment books are open
ira c. Edwards, who started this
movement, which has the official in
dorsement of the war department al
Washington, ID. c., was elected the
national chief operator. He is also
assisted by an advisory board of six
members. all OF whom serve without
pay.
The government OF the United
- States has two methods OF rais-
Ing money! one Is by taxation.
The other is by the sale OF bonds.
which is method OF borrowing
money.
The government bond is the
printed promise of tho govern
ment to pay back the borrowed
sum of money at certain time.
and to pay interest on It at regu-
lar intervals until 1t is repaid.
The government borrows mon
ey in this way only after II has
been given the right to do so by
1Nt VI t'hki 'SS oPPibNtb ny Nh0
president. and the terms of the
loan are set out In the act.
Back of the promise of the
government stands the honor OF
the government and all its taxing
resources. Really the whole
wealth Of the nation stands be-
hind this solemn promise OF the
government to pay.
This makes the United States
government bonds the safest in
vestment In the world. If the
bond of the United States gov
ernment is not safe. no property
In the United States Is safe. III
the United States cannot pay It's
bonds, 1t is hardly probable that
II will be able to protect the citi-
.zens in their other rights.
The liberty loan bonds OF
- 1917 are especially attractive in
vestments. Not only have they
this absolutely safety character
istic OF all United States bonds
but they are tax free not only
from all existing taxes but from
any war tax that may subse-
quently be levied. No state. city.
nor county may tax them. Tho
