Such is the extent of my own ac-

vest.
Pitching hay is cIild's play to Lloyd.
George. He prefers his trunk to a
~pitchfork and he can do as much work
as three farm hands. The only trouble
is that he generally eats about one
bale Of hay while doing an afternoons
work.
Lloyd-George makes an excellent
plow horse. He is steady and reliable
and his burrows are true. He draws
a two-horse piow and keeps right along
regardless of tree stumps and other
snags until the harness breaks. as it
often does When his days work is
done, instead of homeward plodding his
weary way. Lloyd-George sits down to
be petted by the farmers daughter.

THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE

Through the sale Of liberty loan bonds the United States Is borrowing large sums of money from its citizens its business men, farmers. bankers, wage earners, merchants, and manu- lecturers. The Government collects this money and disburses 1t in two ways. Part 1t expends itself and part it loans our allies. The United States and these other Governments spend it for American products and Amsri. can labor. and 1t goes back directly into the hands of the people, the Ain: erican business man, farmer, banker, wage earner, merchant and manufac. turer.
 This is the cyclei John Smith, the farmer. and Thomas Brown. tho wags sarner. each has purchased a liberty loan bond, paying down the initial payment of 2 per cent. On June 2s they made the IS per cent payment, depositing the amount in their banks and sending checks to the Federal re- serve bank of their district The Fed eral reserve bank collects ths chsek and deposits the money with the local banks. Later the Treasury Depart. ment draws against 1t. and the mono ey is again lodged with the Federal fs: serve bank. It Is almost immediately 1 withdrawn from the Federal reserve bank either by the United States ol by some foreign Government engaged in war with Germany to which the United States has advanced money and is paid out for American product. or labor. Some of 1t Is spent for farm products and raw material, and some of it for manufactured products, thu: going back into the hands of American citizens.
 Therefore the money paid in by tht aforementioned John Smith ane Thomas Brown on June 23 in part pay ment of their liberty loan bonds may have gotten back into their hands ir time to make up part of their pay ments made July 30.
