THOMAS II. WEST BUYS
 $250, ,o0o IN BONDS

Declaring he made a subscription much larger than he could afford, be- cause he appreciates the great ne- cessity for the entire offering being taken, Thomas H. West, chairman of the St. Louis Union Bank, made the largest individual purchase of Liberty Bonds Monday in St. Louis, in the sum of $250,000.
 In a statement issued after making the purchase, West declared he had done so because he considered it patriotic duty to support the govern ment and he believed Liberty Bonds were ahead of every other security" and absolutely safe.'
 If you oversubscribe you can find a ready market for your surplus bonds" he said, land if you hold them until after the war you are almost certain of large premium. When we stop to think. of what our soldiers will have to go through we should consider that subscribing for good security to sup port them in the field is very small thing to do, and we should take ad vantage of the opportunity, even to the point of sacrifice, if necessary"

There are, of course, some manly indi. viduals who wear bracelets even with out the pretext that they need them as watch settings. The old Roman legionaries and the fierce Numidians wore their bracelets high on the upper arm so that they could f1ex their bulging biceps against them.

Modern tdeas Of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t is ihat we moderns deem{to constitute greatness among the men of our own or com paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed. We set less store by monarchs, for they do not fill the stage of the world as they once did, although some of them have ! still large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do we give quite such. special honor to military glory as former ages did. Nevertheless, the es- sential qualities that dazzle the eyes of man may be still the same. speak chiefly of the greatness that consists in action, for the ruler, the statesman and the warrior do their work in the sight of the world and can be judged by it, whereas the poet or the philoso- pher may have long to wait for recog- milton, and even supreme scientific discovery may not be appreciated un. til long years have been spent in work. ing out it's applications.-James Bryce, in Youths Companion.
 The Egyptian "FelIah."
 The Egyptian "Fellah" is curious mixture of independence and submis- siveness. He would never consent to the wholesale disclosure of his affairs requisite under the cooperative sys- tenn. He is as secretive as the Scotch man, as land hungry as the French man. He'is in some ways as ignorant and as submissive to authority as the poorest European peasant. He had always obtained ample credit, but at . terrible price. For short periods he would pay 50 and 60 per cent and when, in 1899, an effort was made to create an equitable system of rural credits the average existing rate of in- terest for all loaDs was p per cent per annum. Suspicious to degree, he had to be approached very diplomatic ally by personal meetings, often re- peated, before he could be convinced of the bona fides of a bank offering him money at and per cent. His con- fldence was won, however. and he proved an honest and reliable cltent.
