Our Sacred Honor

4 large number OF subscribers,
more than four million. and the large
amount subscribed. over three bill
lion dollars. to the Liberty Loan was
n splendid demonstration of the
worth OF n good name. For genera
tions the United States Government
bond has been a synonym for abso-
lutte security. because the honor OF
our country Is behind IL. As good
AZ a government bond" was as CON-
mon a term as 'As good as gold" in
speaking OF securities or invest
ments.
The United States has reaped the
reward from its own people for never
having defaulted on an obliratAbn.
"onr sacred honor Is no idle phrase
OF the United States. The tradition
OF our national honor began in wash
ington's day when in hs first inaugu-
raj address he said: The founda-
ions OF our national defense will be
laid in the pure and immutabie prin-
cples OF morality" and II has been
preserved through all our history.
The honor OF the United States Is
back OF the Liberty Loan Bonds and
ell America and all the world know
that they are absolutely safe.

Keeps Is Going Round and Round

For twenty years battle has been
going on between capital and labor
In the manufacturing and in the
building trades. Labor strikes for
higher wages. Capital battles for a
while and gives in and raises the
wages. Then capital has TO get a re-
turn upon its investment and raises
the price OF its products. 1t charges
more back to the labor for the same
ming that labor produces. Then labor
strikes again. because OF the higher
cost OF living and his wages 20 up
and then capital charges just SO
much more TO get a return upon
the Investment ana then labor strikes
again for more wages to pay for the
higher priced commodities which he
must purchase. And so this eyerlast-
ing iHckscrew process goes round
and round and pushes the prices OF
manufactured products higher and
higher and higher. while the farmer
and those who are not engaged in
unionized labor. the farmer and the
clerk. must still go on doing busi-
ness and selling products at the same
old rates while buying on this higher
wage scale basis.-P. J. McCumber.

Expert Advice on Food Gardens
Daily Hints How to Make Back Yards Profitable
lake Back Yards Profitable.

US that we may soon have to adopt
meatless days. OF all garden substitutes
for meat beans come nearest to filling
the bill, because they are the richest
of vegetables in protein, the chief food
element in meat. Therefore soy beans
are being urged for the garden this
year. The soy bean leaves the ground
richer than it found it.
Soy beans will not grow well in soil
where they HAYES never grown before
unless that soil is impregnated with
certain microscopical germs which the
roots must have. That is, for soy beans
the soil must be inoculated. This is
simple. All that is needed is to get a
little SOY bean culture or some soil
which has produced soy beans. This
culture is sold by seedsmen. 1t is cheap
and a handful is enough for a bean
patch.
If you can get the soil mix it with
half pint Of seed and plant two or
three inches apart, one inch deep, ii
rows 10 inches apart. For successive
crops you can sow up to Aug. 10. When
the beans are just full grown or even
three quarters, the pods can be picked.
Dipping the pods in boiling water
makes Smelling easier. To cook do the
same as peas.-Daily food garden let

Stoddard B. Bates, state highway COM
missioner, made public today an open
letter addressed to the selectmen, road
commissioners and special commission
ers of the state, in which he includes
the following letter addressed to him
yesterday by Gov. Graham:
"The reports which come to the
Committee of Public Safety indicate
that the farmers of our state are re-
spending heartily to the call for a
larger acreage of foodstuffs. AS you
know, the chief trouble is the scarcity
of labor. Having this in mind, l would
suggest that no new highway construc-
ton be started until June first and that
the highway work be confined to patrol
and maintenance. This plan would re-
lease a considerable number of men
for farm work during the month of
May
Mr.. Bates, over his own signature,
says:
In consideration of the governor S
suggestion, l would request that no
new construction or resurfaeing work
supervised by this department be COM
menced before June fourth next, that
patrolmen and road commissioners give
their attention to the maintenance of
highways.

Reducing Electric Signs g.
Not Best Way to Save Coal

'"I am with the government in its

use of coal, but / do not believe that
electric signs and illuminations are
the best places to start" said Mr..

maintain these signs is comparatively
small. Il requires certain amount
OF coal and a certain output of cur
rent to bring large plant up to its
high point OF efficiency and service. !

call to them on the sidewalk, Hey,
fellows, would you like to rider and
the chances are ten TO one the boys
will be very glad to take little ride.
1t is not necessary that you bring
them back every time to the place
where they started from. Drop them
off at the end of your journey. They
will hop on car and come back, or
they will get into the next automo-

ride; they will appreciate it. We can
