difficult to draw line between gaso-'

tons responding to improved weather,
and grain crop prospects are more
promising. Yet the period of low tenn
peratures was too prolonged TO make
best results in spring distribution pos

influence of the extreme prices.
While there is still fun employment
of labor. and wage advances have
continued, the tendency toward econ
omy among consumers is spreading, and
this is evident not only in foodstuffs,
but also in dry goods and footwear.
The lessened buying Of necessities,
however has not yet lowered costs
perceptibly, and in many primary chan
nels the large expenditures for military
supplies act as sustaining factor
Pressure on most of the leading In
dustries has increased rather than
slackened, though in some quarters

the transporting interests hope for fav-
orable action on their recent petition
for higher freight charges.
Even with reduced speculation in the
grain markets, bank clearings this week
are 24.2 per cent. greater than last
years, and outside New York the in

We had no will to hinder or bind them
To bid them hesitate, wait or stay.
We babe God-speed to them on their

Not with the sadness of hearts re

But glad of the call they must needs
obey.
We are the girls that they left behind.

That they loved US and left us and
marched away.
We are the girls that they left behind.

THOSE $50 AND 500 BONDS.

The Liberty loan, while much Of Il
will be taken by large buyers. is de-
pending to a very considerable extent
en- the small bond buyers, those who
buy $50, 800 and multiples Of 800 in
amounts less than $1,000.
Those bonds are safe investments.
They do not draw large interest but
they are as safe as the L. s. A. and
it would De hard TO find anything safer
than that. Moreover, It is being urged
as patriotic duty that these WIG can
shall take one or more Of the $50 or
500 bonds. 1t Is to be taken into con-
81 deration that every one of those
bonds great or small is the finest kind
OF collateral and that they are salable
at any bank at any time. Bechtel Of
Davenport made the assurance TO the
Greater Iowa Association al its recent
meeting that the bonds were as good
as cash at any bank
In New York and other great en-
ploying centers banks, department
stores, employers and labor leaders are
cooperating in a concerted effort to
obtain subscribers to the Liberty loan
OF $4,000. 100000 now offered TO the
public. John Mitchell. former presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers Of
America and Warren S.sStone, Grand
Chief OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, are two Of the leaders
who have advised employees to sub
scribe and a tentative plan for railroad
men TO buy the bonds has been
evolved. Among the large companies,
che lead has been taken by the Crock
er-Wheeler Company, electrical ma
chinery manufacturers. which employs
several thousand skilled mechanics at
its plant in Ampere, n. J. Other COM
panies are adopting similar plans and
it is expected that these will result in
effectively popuiarizing the Liberty
loan. The Croker Wheeler plan as
outlined Dy dH Official VI lNat COM
pany is as follows:
The average employe doing high
class electrical constructive work earns
more than 800 a month. Hundreds OF
these skilled mechanics are potential
Liberty bond buyers. To aid them a
plan is being solved by which 1t is
proposed to guarantee the payments on
the bonds. which are issued in amounts
Of from $50 upward.
Before guaranteeing the payments
the record of the would be bond buyer
is looked up. His length Of service
