HOW MONEY GOES
ROUND IN A CIRCLE

There won't be amy money loft in
he country II they keep on asking
Tor these loans
How many times do you hear such
! remark made about the Liberty
Loan? Perhaps you may have even
thought something Of the sort your
,elf.
To a man not used to finance the
thought is a very natural one.
Let US think this thing out.
In the first place, practically all
,f the money subscribed 10 the Lib.

country, and a good deal OF II stays
light in the locality from which It Is
originally subscribed SO this talk
about draining the country" and
ibout there being no money left in
he country" is sheer nonsense.
Let US see Row this works out.
We will suppose that you are q
iarmer, or cotton grower, that you
have purchased a Liberty Bond and
Tou are paying by iu7tallments spread
over several months. Now, until the
government actually needs your mon.
~ 1t leaves 1t on deposit at some
ocal bank which is acting as a gov

bank.
Now, by the time you have paid
the LAST instaiIment on your Bond,
: IS quite likely that The money paid
IN as your FIRST iusJ9llment has
been used by the government to pay
Tor your own cotton or grain, and
Tou will be returning this very same
money 70 the bank to be placed once
again 70 your account, or 70 apply
IN your purchase OF another Liber,,
Bond.

some strong resolutions asking con-
gress for immediate relief, which may
be granted at the very earliest mo-

Fully one-half of the beans raised
in the Imperial Valley of California,
the past season, have been destroyed
by fire, and it is known that enemies
are working in that section and also
throughout the southwest. Farmers
and business men cannot exercise too
much care in watching places where
foodstuffs are stored. Remember that
the enemy is always watching for a
chance to do US some damage.

ALLIES READY
FOR BIGD
Generals Pershing and Haig
Prepare for Hard Win
ter Campaign.
BY ERNEST p. ORR.

Correspondent.


| Correspondent.
Paris. Sept. 3o-Preparations for the
fourth winter campaign on the West
ern front are already in full swing.
The summer campaign is over with
by the end Of September. and while
both the English and French may
be expected to make a few big
drives. 1t is not anticipated that the
beginning of winter. for military
purposes, will see any radical alter
alton in the war map of France ana
Flanders.
Practically all the way from Nieu-
port to Verdun the armies are in
quarters totally different from those
they occupied last winter; with the
exception of one or two stretches
as around La Bassee and the Ar
gonne-the French and British are
stationed in captured German lines.
Throughout the spring and summer
the men have shown little inclination
to dig. feeling that in view of the
possibility of further move forward.

for the time being. Turning over

fantry in this war. but necessity is
| likely to force them to do a lot of
1t this month and next in order to
provide themselves with snug and
well-drained trenches for the autumn
and winter.
In these circumstances big sweep
ing moves are not looked for. but
rather a repetition on a more inten-
sive scale of last winters tactics.
Short. sharp blows at selected points
during fine spells. a continual batter
| ing Of wide fronts by concentrated
gun FIRE lengthening out to closeup
rest stations, hundreds OF aeropianes
| swarming out to attack encamp-
ments, aviation sheds, munitions
dumps and lines of communication
| these will be the regular order of
| the day throughout the winter.
The part the American contingents
! will play in the winters activity is
| the closest Of all military secrets at
this time. There is nothing that Hin
denburg Is burning to know so much
as Just what Pershing's plans are,
and there is nothing that Pershing is
more bent upon doing than keeping
the slightest hint from Hindenburg.
But while no light can be shed at
| this stage upon the plans Of the
| American commander-in-chief. I am
able to give this assurance, that pru-
dence is his motto, that he will never
consent to play to the gallery as even
| the best generals are sometimes
tempted to do. It Is Haig's great
merit that he bides his time and
| only strikes when he is able TO strike
in real earnest. Pershing resembles
the British leader in this respect, and
Europe. has had enough war expert
| ence to know that these are the men
who get the real results at the least
possible cost in lives, and that though
they have little show on the war
map, they are steadily. persistently,
relentlessly wearing down the tough
est foe that ever took the field
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength. for in the
past summer Haig has put forth
nothing like his maximum effort, and
In consequences has suffered losses far
