WHAT SPECIAL ADVANTAGES
HAVE THESE LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS?

One especial advantage no other bonds,
National, State, municipal, or corporate,
have is that if the United States during
the continuance of this war shall issue
other bonds at higher rate of interest,
the holders of these Liberty bonds have
the right to exchange their Liberty bonds
for bonds bearing the higher rate of in
terest. dollar for dollar.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-05-25

WHAT OTHER SPECIAL ADVANT-
AGES DO THESE BONDS POS
SESS?
They are nontaxable. If your city,
county, and State taxes are three mills on
the dollar, not unusual tax, these bonds
are equivalent to ordinary corporate
bonds or other investments bearing 6 1-2
per cent.
In addition, no Federal tax which war
conditions may later make necessary will
affect these bonds. The only tax these
bonds are subject to is the inheritance
tax, which applies to all property Of all
kinds whatsoever.

beating in her brain was too insistent,
too clamorous. Somewhere beyond
that tangled mass Of chimneys and
telegraph poles, somewhere on the 9th.
or side of the gray haze which hung
about the myriad roofs, John and
Louise were working out their destiny,
speaking at last the naked truth to
each other.
She started suddenly back into the
room. There was knocking at the
door, something quite different from
her landlady's summons. She wrapped
her dresslng-gown around her, pulled
the curtains around the little bed on
which she had striven to rest, and
moved toward the door. She turned
the handle softly.
"Who is that?" she asked.
John almost pushed his way past
her. She closed the door with nerve
less fingers. Her eyes sought his face,
her lips were parted. She chung to the
back of the chair.
"You have seen Louise?" she ex.

She looked little helplessly around

in the tiny apartment that was likely
to hold him, and led him to it. .

CONSERVING MOTHER.

The most oyerworked word in the
language at present is mother" II
turns up in print and conversation
about as often as war"
Mothers are expected to sacrifice
and to save-just as they always have
done-but now their marytrdom is ex
allied and their labors extolled until
mothers themselves are getting a bit
shy of SO much sentimentality.
Lately a great national demand has
been made upon mother to conserve
everything, but has anybody heard
anything about conserving mother?
1t would be easy to do 80, if the
family ever thought it worth while.
Consider her vacation, for instance.
Thousands of just average mothers
have never had one in their lives And
they never expect to have one.

And son goes camping. And the teach

trip" every summer.
But mothers only trip is to an
amusement park with the youngsters.
Which can hardly be called a restful
experience
Whoever desires to help conserve
mothers would probably better begin
at home. A practical step in the right
direction would be to stop exclaiming
about what mother has given up, and
what she is saving, and what she is
going to do, and SEE WHAT CAN
BE DONE TO HELP MOTHER.
There's quite difference between
looking on mother as a wonderful sac
rifice, and making some honest per-
sonal sacrifice for mother.

POOR CASTRO.

Poor old Cipriano Castro has been
shut out of Cuba. Nobody wants the
poor old duffer.
And that makes a good subject for
q summer sermOnette.
The point is that, no matter wheth-
er you are right or wrong in the alb
stract, if you run afoul of the wishes
of mankind you are in bad way.
1t has been said that each stage in
society finds moral and ethical code
made by society in that particular
stage and that the code changes as
social conditions change. All other
codes undergo similar changes for
similar reasons.
Once it was wrong to help a slave
escape. Once it was wrong to pro-
test against witch burning. Ideas
change, surroundings change, beliefs
change, notions of right and wrong
change. Once no woman would have
appeared on the street without bus
tie.
Humanity makes its laws as it goes
makes them and enforces them
whether they are written in books or
not
Only great pioneers standing for
great new principles may stand out
and face the crowd-and even they
are slammed with briCkbats innumer-
able.
Poor little old Cipriano Castro only
teaches US the truth Of old fundament
ais He somehow has rubbed the
world the wrong way, just as the kai-
ser has.
Capt Kidd couldn't get along in
1917-and Cipriano Castro seems to
have been born a century too late.

in the Second regiment made vacant
by the resignation of District Judge

he indicated that he would accept.
Then, late Saturday night, developed
doubt as to the fate of the Second,

a certain captaincy in the First for a
somewhat uncertain majorship in the
Second. 1t is doubtful now whether
authority to accept rests with Captain
Thomson, as his acceptance and qua.

the adjutant general prior to midnight
Saturday, at which hour the ability
