Richmond and Wayne county soon will
feel the effect Of the selective service
law. Young men are being taken from
many homes and are being trained for
the European battlefields-
Now its up to the people to support
these boys, to buy them clothes, arms
and ammunition and food and COM
forts while they are in training And
the only way this may be done Is by
buying Liberty bonds-by lending
ones money to Uncle Sam, who in
turn pays four percent interest yearly
on the bonds.
And the bonds will always be good
for the amount paid for them.
Richmond's response to the sale of
the bonds has been below normal, as
compared to the response made to
other patriotic undertakings, bankers
say. Little more than $350,oe0 worth
OF the bonds have been sold.

Window Seats Make fer Comfort.

One of the details OF planning WHICH
should not be oyerlooked is the matter
Of window seats, of which there can
hardly be too many in home. In
every bay window where possible
window seat should be constructed,
and so constructed as to be useful as
well as ornamental; that it have COW
ers in the top, neatly hinged and so
arranged that they may be easily open
ed to permit using the space under
the seat for the storage of things
which it is desired to have handy and
| for which there seems no other con-
venient place.
Around the fireplace there is moth
ing more attractive and comfortable
looking than a nice built-in seat, and
cover, as the space beneath is very
useful for storing the kindling wood
and occasionally q few big sticks as
well, when it is not convenient - use
a wood box or basket beside thf Z
place.

TROUBLES OF LARGE CITIES
Land Ownership in Europe Carries Re-
sponsibIities That Are Unknown
in This Country.

In Europe extensive land ownership
frequently involves municipalities in
Improbable disputes. large town
owning a parcel Of land in q nearby
township proposes to b2ild hospital
on 1t. The project is not pleasing to
the township; its council prepares a
building plan for the district and runs
a street through the proposed hospital
site. Berlin itself was, only a few
years ago, treated thus by suburban
neighbor. Electoral laws are severe;
disenfranchisement is sweeping in eff
feet. Under the "three class" method
of apportioning the voting power, a
taxpayer in the FIRST class" may have
thirty times as much voting power as
one In the Second, and 400 times rs
much as their third class neighbor.
Again, municipal governments are
business agencies with most liberal
charters. They build barracks-in the
larger cities the average number OF
persons housed In one structure runs
from Frankforts 20 to Berlin's II
and these structures are material OF
purely speculative business which
cannot be regarded as healthful In
Auence physically or politically in the
citys life. These things and a hun
dreq others Of similar nature do not
condemn German municipal govern
ment any more than the peculiar ex-
ce1lances Of fha system constitute q
condemnation of the British system In
which those particular excellences are
lacking. But they do bring out the
difficulties of government and empha-
size the fruitlessness of comparison
of systems.-Exchange.

DESTROY BEAUTY OF CITY
Cards and Placards Have No Piace IN
Streets of Any Well-Ordered
Community.

Political ambitions q = becoming SO
much an obstacle to civic beauty that
/ the esthetic souls of many communi-
( ties have been ON the verge of rebel
lion for some time past. When man
becomes obsessed with a desire to
shine in public life he announces his
matchless virtues by means of f1arlng
cards and placards. These cards are
placed at every point where the hu-
man vision might be expected to dwell.
Does one pause to enjoy the grandeur
of q rural scene, he Is reminded from
every tree and rock that "Smith Is the
peoples choice for constable" or that
"Jones stands for the square deal"
The outrage is heightened by series
of homely visages showing the aspiring
ones in various poses of vanity.
Vandalism is strong term, but is
1t too strong for such practices? The
worst part is that it is perennial. The
bounteous crop sown at election time
Is permitted to remain the year
around. By the time. the elements
have succeeded in destroying one crop.
another has put in appearance. Cards
may be found in any grove-the cards
of men who have been politically dead
for years. 1t may have been proved
at the polls that the erstwhile "peo-
pies choice" was not any ones choice;
yet he must be RECALLED with the pla-
cards on every tree and eminence.
Minneapolis, whose finer sensibfli-
ties have been aroused, will have no
more of this. Hereafter, candidates
will have to proclaim their virtues in
some other manner. DETACHMENT OF
scenery by homely visages and trite
slogans will be inhibited by law. At
an election now impending, most of the
candidates have agreed to keep their
placards out of public scenic places.
Others are to be arrested. The ex-
ample set by Minneapolis is a worthy
one.-Portland Oregonian.
