THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE.

Through the loan of Liberty Loan
Bonds the United States is borrow
ing large sums of money from its
citizens, its business men, farmers,
bankers, wage earners, merchants,
manufacturers. The government col
lects this money and disburses it in
two ways. Part it eXpends itself
and part it loans our allies. The u
nited States and these other govern
ments spend it for American prod
ucts and American labor and it goes
back directly into the hands of the
people, the American business man,
farmer, banker, wage Garner, mer-
chant and manufacturer.
This is the cycle. John Smith the
farmer and Thomas Brown the wage
Garner each has purchased Liber-
ty Loan Bond paying down the ini-
tial payment of 2 per cent. On June
18th they made the 18 per cent pay
ment, depositing the amount in their
banks and sending checks to the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of their district.
The Federal Reserve Bank collects
the check and redeposits the money
with the local banks. Later the
Treasury Department draws against
it and the money is again lodged
with the Federal Reserve Bank. Ii

from the Federal Reserve Bank eth.
er by the United States or by some
| foreign government engaged in wal

; States has advanced money and is
! paid out for American products OF
| labor. Some of it is spent for farm
products and raw material, ant
some of it for manufactured prod
ucts, thus going back into the hands
of American citizens.
Therefore the money paid in by
the above mentioned John Smith ant
Thomas Brown on June 28th in par
payment of their Liberty Loar
Bonds may have gotten into thei
hands in time to make up part OF
their payments made July 3Oth.

The First Money.

Money is mentioned as a medium of exchange in Genesis. chapter g. and is supposed to refer to time as far back as 1900 B. c. The coinage of money is ascribed to the Lydians. a people of Asia Minor. It is. of course. quite impossible to fix any definite date for the first coinage. Long before any one thought to coin money it was made out of any durable substance that came to hand. such as leather. iron. tin. bronze and even the hard bark of the trees and stones of the fields. The Hollander. so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. made money of pasteboard. In fact. pretty nearly everything in the shade of last ing material has at one time or an other been used as the medium of trade known as money.

OLD FREIGHT CARS.

What They Endure Before They Ars
 Sent to the Scrap Pile.
 An average freight car costs about $75O. but the refrigerator and special cars built for carrying perishable goods may cost two or three times that amount. The average freight car weighs about 2S,OOO pounds and has a carrying capacity of 6O,OOO pounds of freight.
 There has never been time when the companies had enough freight cars to meet the heavy demands of trade in seasons of unusual prosperity, and. though thousands of new cars are built every year. car famines occur every time the seasons crops are ready to be moved. The number of freight cars that are scrapped each year almost keeps pace with the mum Der of new ones built.
 The scrapping of freight car is one of the fine arts of efficient railroading A car may go to the repair shop half a dozen times before 1t is ready for the scrap pile. Not until the trucks are practically worn out so they cannot be renewed has the railway wanderer passed beyond it's life of usefulness. Even then every part of the ironwork is recovered. and such parts that are still useful go into other cars before they are finally scrapped.
 The wooden platform and the boxed in sides are the first to be renewed. and then the coupling pins and mech. anism. and finally the wheels. A freight car will frequently use up two sets of wheels before it is entirely worn out and ready for final demoli- tion.-Popular Mechanics.

lNDIA'S FAMOUS ROAD.
It is Called the Most Romantic High
 way In the World.

h is Called the Most Romantic High
 way In the World.
 Every one who has seen 1t will agree with the New York Sun that the Grand Trunk road of India is by all means the most romantic highway in the world. That paper says of 1t:
 A stately avenue of three roads in one-the center of hard metal. the roads on each side ankle deep in sill very dust-fringed by double rows of trees. 1t runs for 1.4O0 miles through the vast northern plain that skirts the Himalayas. from Calcutta to far Pesha- war, which keeps sentinel at the gate of Afghanistan.
 From horizon to horizon 1t stretches like broad white ribbon. as straight as if traced by a gigantic ruler. And dotted along the entire length are hun dreds of serats (wayside rest houses). each with its arched and turreted gate way. its spacious inclosure. where hu mans share shelter with oxen, camels and goats. and its central we'll of spar kling water.
 For 5000 years the Himalayas have looked down on this road and have seen it as they see 1t today. It has seen a hundred generations of men come and go. a score of dynasties rise and fall. And yet today it is to the eye exactly the same as in the long gone time when Nineveh was proud city and our ancestors gnawed bones in their caves.

Original Sea Serpents.

The National museum at Washington contains notable display of the bones of several species of extinct mammals which if seen alive in the ocean would be called huge sea serpents. They were carnivorous. and their long. slen der jaws were armed with formidable teeth. Although few remaining indi- viduals of the group may have given actual basis for the sea serpent stories. these extinct animals were not reptiles. but mammals which. like the whale and seal and otter. had happened to evolve in an aquatic envirOnment- Chicago Journal.
