INTEREST ON BONDS

There will soon be another big war
bond issue. We shall all be asked to
buy. What are We going to do about
it?
The interest may be 31a per cent
again. 1t may be per cent. What
ever it is, it will be smaller than the
return ordinarily expected from an
investment.
We hear it said occasionally that
we can't be expected to keep on lend
ing our savings to the government at
so low a rate when we can make two
or three times that much in business
investments. The Journal of the Am
| erican Bankers Association replies:
ITO the man who says that he can
get 10 per cent. for his money, the
| answer is that certainty of his 10
per cent, or any other rate, depends
entirely on the success of the govern
ment in securing funds at 31a per
cent, or whatever rate Congress sees
| fit to fix. If bonds cannot be sold
nothing is secure. There are always
| individuals who will hang back and
hold out for the 10 per cent, but their
safety in this respect lies in having
some one else supply the funds at the
| lower rate
That puts t1e citizen who won't
buy war bonds in rather bad light
He's a sort of sneak, letting his
neighbors back the war with theil
money, at little profit, so that he may
make much profit.
Fairness and patriotism demand
that every citizen do his share il
financing the war. And mere bust
ness precaution would suggest that
if man is going to invest money il
private enterprise. he first inves
something in our great national en-
terprise as insurance for his other in
vestment.

GET EDUCATION

The opening of the schools and col
leges serves to. emphasize the enor-
nous Importance, this year in par
ticular, of all forms of practical edu-
cation. The very fact that we, along
with most of the rest of the civilized
world, are engaged in a great war, is
a powerful reason for devoting more
attention to education than ever be-
fore.
1t is accepted as a matter of course
that the public schools will continue
their usual work, with slight mod fl
cations. 1t is the high schools and
colleges that are more subject to dis
turbances due to the war. Great num-
bers of college men have enlisted OF
been drafted. Many boys have enlist
ed from the upper classes of high
schools. Entering classes are gener-
ally large, hut there is less assurance
than usual that the freshmen will con-
tinue through their courses. There
will be, from now on, more tempta-
ton to drop out.
There is danger in the very readi-
ness of students to volunteer for pub
lie service. There is danger in any
thing that will deter boys and girls
from going to the high school anG
college, and staying there until they
are fitted for some branch of expert
and useful activity. After the war
the world is going to need educated
men and women more than ever be-
fore. There will be new problems to
face and enormous tasks to accom-
plish. Trained minds will be essen
tial for the reconstruction and devel-
opment to which We look forward.
Technical education especially
takes on new value. The whole world
is hungry for technical experts.
There are not enough men and wo-
men in any of the engineering profess
sions today. The demand will be
greater than ever when peace comes.
And any student who is engaged in
mastering any of the technical, utili-
tartan branches of learning is serving
his country no less than if he were
fighting in the trenches.

REBUKE THE TRAITOR

One great fault to be found with us
is that we do not promptly rebuke
the traitor when We run across him
We waste too much time arguing with
him. We fut lely try to shame aim
when we should take him by the scruff
of the neck and walk him into the
presence of magistrate. If mere
violent treatment were resorted to,
the assailant would be forgiven.
1t is astonishing the number of
renegades with sheathed claws that
are rubbing elbows with us. The
sneak usually begins TO reveal him
self with the declaration " Under
stand I'm as good citizen of the
United States. as you are, tut =" His
true character begins to show itself
right at that point.
Invariably, this miserable crea ure
is coward, and when challenged for
an open fight, he sneaks away One
of them was put to route the other
day by spirited and patriotic woman
on Lambertville trolley He was
giving the passengers to understand
that ne would like to see the British
army defeated because England had
never been a friend OF this country,
and wound UP with the declaration
that ne wouldn't care much if the
Germans won the war, notwthstand-
ing he was a good American citizen.
A husky motorman shook his head
weakly and said he didn't want to see
the Germans win and a spineless con-
ductor was lumb, but small and not
at all belligerent looking woman
turned on the good citizen" and ask
ed. what are you talking about?"
I'm talking to the conductor-not
you,' bluffed the fellow.
We'll" retorted the woman, I'm
talking to you, and you are traitor
to this country. You ought to be in
JAIL"
The traitor didn't peep again, and
let himself off at one of the rural
stops.
I'VE are sending our sons and
brothers to Europe to fight for the
protection of just such cowardly
sneaks as that creature!" said the
woman to the conductor. "You are
young man and may be called upon
to do the same thing
That's so, LADY, I hadn't thought
of that" answered the conductor.
What we want are more men with
the spine of this woman. A citizen of
the United States can't be loyal to his
country and at the same time sympa-
thlze with its enemies, and the trail
torous sneaks who are gliding around
among US should be made to under
stand that.

WAR BRIDES" DISCOURAGED

WAR BRIDES" DISCOURAGED
The warning issued by the army au-
thorities at Camp Hancock against the
marriage of enlisted men is a definite
indication that the United States Gov
ernment is opposed to the policy of
"war brides. AS the National Guard
and other troops from pennsylvania
are gathered at Camp Hancock, the
! admonition has a special interest for
Philadelphia ana otner cities and
communities OF the state. 1t should
| be needed implicitly TO the end that
! much possible misery may be obviated.
At the outset of the Great War, in
! 1914, the German Government began
systematically to encourage the mar
riage of every bachelor who was
called to the colors. A delusive and
immoral appeal was made 10 the young
women of the Empire to enlist as
war brides" Every c3nce'vable de-
vice and trick was employed in work.
ing up feryor of enthusiasm among
the misguided girls to induce them to
become the mothers of the future SOL
diers of militari-t regime.
Amidst tne ringing of bells and the
playing of martial music, professions
were formed in the towns and villages
and the war brides" were welded in
groups amidst signs of rejoicing at
What in reality was a tragic cere-
mony. These rocr little war brides
were 10 part within a day or two from
their conscript husbands, whom they
were perhaps destined never to see
again, or if their husbands came hack
It would be as inyalids manned and
crippled. Germany, however. was not
alone in this encouragement of such
marriages, but there was less ostenta-
ton in the French encouragement of
war weddings" to continue the race.
The United States Government does
not need to resort to any sucn policy.
This is not militarist country, and
the Government is not seeking to pro-
vide soldiers for the army twenty
years hence. Neither is there any
danger that the population Will come
to a standstill. The military autnori-
ties at Camp Hancock, in discourag-
ing the multiplication of war brides"
declare frankly that the army at the
present stage Of the war is no place
for married man. No doubt Con-
gress will provide with sufficient lib
crafty for dependents, and the plan of
insurance for soldiers is far in ad-
vance of any other legislation to COM
pensate for death or injury in the
field. But these allowances should
not be considered as an incentive to
marriag age-an anticipation of "war
widows"
Already the camp authorities are in
receipt of many letters from wives of
soldiers requesting that part of their
husbands pay may be diverted to
them. When the pending legislation
becomes effective such divis on of pay
by soldier will be compulsory. The
intimation from the authorities at
Camp Hancock that insurance money
On the lives OF practically all the men
in camp should be promptly paid to
the parents of the soldier instead of
the wife of few monuns is tae sound
est OF common sense. True patriot
ism in the United States in the pres
ent juncture indicates that heneefor-
ward there should be no camp mar
rlages or war brides, in the Ger
man sense of the term.

WHAT YOU MUST DO

Are you a storekeeper catering to
the buying public?? Do you wish to
succeed? If so, you can if you let GER
tain things prevail in the conduct of
your business. We do not wish to
have the storekeeper form the idea
We are attempting to tell him now to
conduct his business, nor do we aim
at being business oracles, but it has
been proved time and time again that
to succeed you must first of all let
your enthusiasm come to the surface
yes, beyond the surface-let it boil
over, also spread the gospel of enthu-
siasm over every one who helps you,
who delivers your mail in the morn
ing to the boy who sweeps out at
night. Let all see that you and your
business are one and the same. Set
an example for hard work and snun
early leaving.
Be the first on the job and the last
to leave and, above all, stick to the
truth and forget you are boss, for the
man who makes the best boss acts the
least like one. The way to advance
your store from an acorn to a mighty
oak is to let no one think you are not
interested enough to labor as hard as
or not harder than every one about
you.
A certain well-known merchant
made boast he could take tle place
of any one of his 200 employees and do
their work as carefully and as effec-
lively as they, and he did SO many
times to show his words were not
bluff. In consequence, every employe
respected him and his ability to do
things. Keep these points in mind al
ways:
Study thoroughly the goods you
sell and know every detail of their
construction and value.
Remember buying goods is only
one-half the battle; placing goods be-
fore the public in an intelligent man
ner is also important.
Any one can sell goods if he buys
the right kind, prices them fairly and
advertises them truthfully.
Keep your stock neat and clean,
your store also, as cleanliness is next
to godliness especially in vstorekeep-
ing.
