they can make wisdom persuasive.
But the Observant know that moth
ers and girls are never so far apart
as at the high school age.
All proceed on the assumption that
girls can be separated somehow
from the great feminine desire to be 1
seen, to be set apart from others, to
be different, distinguished, conspic-
uous, TO be observed of men.
They also assume that this is an
immodest and an immoral desire.
Upon that kind of a mistake they
can never base a cure.
There is nothing immoral about
the wish to be lovely; the girls need
to have her beauty noticed is as ma
turaI as breathing and therefore it
cannot be immodest.
It is seldom a girls fault when she
is stricken with the modern maIady
whose symptoms are atr0ciOus taste
in dress.
Mothers know that if they fail to
air and sun the house, tuberculosis
may develop in one of the family. If
they tolerate the housefiy, they may
expect typhoid.
Home sanitation prevents disease.
And home influence forms a girls
taste.
If we build up bodily resistance we
can run the risk Of catching germs.
If we build up mental resistance to
false standards of taste in dress, we
can set a girl adrift in a gaudy world
and she will always look like a lady.
There's none too much beauty
upon the earth. Every woman ought
to be not only permitted, not only ex-
pected, but commanded to contrib
ute as much IoVeIiness as she can to
existence!
And what this sad world needs just g
now is more natural beauty:

The Government Must Have Money

On October l another call will be made upon the people If this country for subscriptions the Liberty Loan This amounts to $30OO 900 900 and thee money must be forthcoming Every man who buys a bond will enjoy the consciousness of having done something for his country and besides that he will receive his moneys worth and more. Bonds of the first Liberty Loan last brought above par the New York exchange. They reached that price earlier than was expected though, according to the history of all American bond issues, it was absolutely certain that they would sell at a premium; that ac- cumulated capital when released from it's obligation to keep the business of the country running would eagerly seek them investment
 But are getting away the fact that the government is going get the money. may get it either through the purchase of the bonds by the ngs of the people by their purchase by coun- trys accumulated capital But the government not compel either the people the bankers buy bonds There is one thing though that it can do It raise the money by further=taxation and that what it will must do if it raise in any other way Money paid is gone forever. Money paid for bonds returns bringing premium and interest with it.
 No doubt thousands who sqbscribed to the first Liberty Loan ahead the of their subscrip- tions Those subscriptions represent saving which would not otherwise have been affected. The money paid the first and succeeding insallments would have been dissipated by this time.
 The distribution of these Liberty Loan bonds among the people means thrift It means that hence forth those who invest them will find easier to for old age which is inevitable and for the rainy day which all fear.

The Farmer

The Wall Street Journal believes that all that Vas expected both in this country and in Canada the great extension of credits has been realized The chief object this financing the Journal says stimulate production while chief result has been increase of prices of farm products. It is shown that the price of hogs has doubled since the beginning of the In December 1914 Chicago cash wheat averaged $1S3 bushel and has since sold for $40 bushel Corn in December 1914 was 68 cents bushe and is S119.
 The Journal indulges in a misleading statement, There has been of increase of production proportonate the hardship the consumer involved in the advance prices and the sustained power 10 hold food quotations at record levels"
 Surely no one will contend that the high prices quoted by the Journal the result any financial credit extended to the farmer It is only on paper that the farmer has so greatly profted from high prices. No farmer received $40 3ents wheat but that price extorted from consumers long before the period financial credit to the farmers.
 It is true that the farmers have made money and will still make because of the increased demand for their products but the expenses of the farmer have kept pace with the increasing prices his pro- ducts.
 There has been a greatly increased production in every of the country perhaps in to the aid which farm credits have furnished but in larger part to the insistent demand for and to the urgent plea the government But for this increased production the condition of the would be much harder than it is at present.
 The profit of the farmer arises from the increase of production than the increase of prices
 Though the government has undertaken the regu- ation certain farm products after they have passed out of the hands considerable part of the quoted price is still absorbed by middle or lost somewhere between the farmer and the consumer a fixed price of S2.OO and s220 not a thousand will receive much that basis As matter of fact the real price paid the farmers. pendent upon their distances the points where these fixed prices established range S1.75 bushe to $1.90 While of course, the fixed price is not a maximum the demand may greatly increase the price that the farmer may receive than the fixed price but he has not yet done
 nothing is coming easy the farmer If he makes money now, he will have work harder for There is nothing in his situation to the following suggestion by the Journal which generally unfriendy to the farmer and also taunts him with owning 40 per of all the automobiles in the country:
