SELLING LIBERTY BONDS

The Boy Scouts of America have re-
sponded manfully to the presidents
appeal in the largest single piece of
financing ever attempted by the United
States government-the floating of the
Liberty loan.
The president realized that the first
great battle for us in this war is to be
fought on American soil and that any
weakening on our part would only give
encouragement to our enemies. It was
because the Boy Scouts are "for God
and country that the president right
fully expected them to rise up in their
might and deliver telling blow.
How to reach the common people
that was the big question. There
were 17,S05, S45 dwellings in the United
States in 1910, with an average of 81
persons each. The increase since 1910
is estimated at from 10 to II per cent.
Upon the Boy Scouts was laid the
task of making two calls at each of
100000 dwellings-one call to deliv-
er the presidents Liberty bond mes
sage and the second to receive the
bond subscription.
The campaign which these 23S,00O
boys carried out under the direction
of some 1900 scout executives and
scoutmasters, and with the encourage

MAKING WATCH TELL TRUTH

piece Forward or Back.

The average commercial traveller
who journeys about the United States
has to keep close watch on his time
piece to see that it is telling the truth
There is an hours difference in time
when you enter and leave some cities,
and it's an important matter that you
do not forget to set your watch back
or forward an hour, according to which
way you are travelling. If you over
look it you may miss a train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
he sometimes forgets to change his
watch at Detroit, Mich, for instance,
or at Dodge City, Ia, has frequently
had ap experience of this kind. Some
times he has arrived an hour ahead of
time, or perhaps an hour after a train
has left, giving him time enough for
reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea Of
making his watch tell all four diff
ferent times-Eastern, Central, Noun
tain and Pacific. He went to a jeweler

ment of $4,000 other adult scout Off
Gals, was doubtless the most extensive
campaign for the Liberty loan conduct
ed by any single organization.
For the first time in. the history Of
the Boy Scout movement the president
of the United States personally called
upon the Boy Scouts of America to CO.
operate with the national government.
Each scout was given twenty-five or
fifty circulars, with definite instruc-
in the hands of a member of a house
hold.
In Philadelphia IL boys the first day
secured $780, 700 worth of subscriptions,
and in three days over $150,OOO.
The first Liberty loan bond SUBJ
scribed for by troop of scouts, so far
as has been reported, is the property
of Troop 60 of Manhattan. The troop is
located at the West End Presbyterian
church.
The campaign met with hearty re-
Spouse in the Pacific coast states. The
scout movement, so thoroughly organ
lied in the East and middle West, has
gained strongly on the other side of the
Rockies only in the last two years, fol-
lowing the establishment of a national
field scout commissioner in that dis.
trict.
The casualty lists from the battle
fields of Europe will soon contain the
names of American soldiers. How
many there will be among the killed,
wounded and missing depends upon
the duration of the war. If the Boy
Scouts can shorten the war even by
one day they will save hundreds, per-
hapS thousands of lives.
The successful sale of Liberty bonds
means a great moral victory which
will inspire the men behind the guns
and equally demOralize our enemies.

OF all the evil spirits abroad in the
land deception is the most dangerous.
1t is the first and worst of all frauds.
Exaggeration is blood relative to
falsehood and nearly as blamable.
Some men and some business concerns
can never state an ordinary fact in
ordinary terms. All their geese are
swans till you see them.
There is no strength in exaggeration.
Even the truth is weakened by being
expressed too strongly.
A Gaping Monster.
Mankind in the gross is a gaping
monster that loves to be deceived and
has seldom been disappointed. They
say that idiots only may be cOzened
buyers? How often are they deceived
by the large catalogue houses?
In the art of deception the great
mail order houses excel the world. In
their greed for gain and rush to vic
timize the poor and unsuspecting they
paint their pictures of alleged bargains
too alluringly. They instill confidence
in the mind of the buyer. only later
to fill his heart with doubt and dis
gust.

There is lot of the same sort Of

Catalogues Look Inviting.

the retail mail order houses look invit-

and sometimes the deal turns out all
right.
But, even supposing it does. where
in is the buyer any better off than If
he bought from the home merchant?
Take any article you choose from the
long list of things sold by mail and
you will fad upon investigation that
you can buy it just as cheapy and
just as we'll at home. The expense OF
selling it by mail is just as great as
the expense of selling it over the coun-

Your local merchants have rent, tax
