BOND BUYING AND THRIFT

The French people are reputed the greatest
investors in government bonds in the world.
incidentally, it was a great misfortune that
brought this about. At the close of the War OF
1870, Germany demanded and collected a colossal
indemnity Of 81 900, 000, 900. The demand WIS
made with but little expectations that it coull he
met.
The French people, by voluntary subscriptions,
raised the funds to meet the pressing need. Their
thrift now merely saved their country in the
immediate moment; it laid the foundation of a
thrift that has made it's impress on France, even
to the present day. The bonds of that issue rose
in value all over the world, and made French
credit stand high everywhere. Ten years after
they were issued they commanded a premium of
rs per cent.
1t is not improbable that the recent Liberty
Loan will mark for US the beginning Of a new and
thriftier epoch.

SAVING THE SURPLUS.
Home gardening and increased production
should provide America this coming summer with
an abundance of vegetables.
The shrewd housewife looks ahead. In many
lines the abundance will be merely temporary.
SOC suing OOUAio, oVCCO SOlI, duu Italy OLllCl
vegetables will be, for many households, quite out
of the question in the winter months.
The remedy lies in nom canning.
Every little bit helps. What,the busy house.
wife does his summer to preserve the surplus in
common ,tightly-sealed glass jars, will help solve
the food problem next winter.
Home canning is not difficult. 1t is not expen-
sive. And home canning will enable American
housewives to make advantageous use of the sum-
mer surplus which would otherwise be wasted.

WATERPRooFING THE MAGNETo

In cars fitted with a magneto, it is no uncommon occurrence at this time of year to have trouble develop be- cause of water getting into the device. Sometimes dro2s of water get in be- tween the horseshoe magnets and prevent the magneto's functioning. To prevent any such trouble, not only from water but from oil or grease, it is an excellent plan to slip a leather cover over the entire machine. Some supply dealers have covers of this kind in stock, but if not any harness maker can manufacture one to order The expense is small and the relic from this type of trouble worth all il costs

In attaching the rope which is to be used in the towing, many drivers fasten it to the axle, which is wrong. The rope should be fastened to one of the front portionz of the frame, so that the pull comes on the chassis. The same thing applies to the car doing the towing, except that the rope should be fastened to soma part of the rear frame.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Donations of money and supplies for the relief of the people of Halifax were coming in from many sources tonight at the head = quarters of the Atlantic division of the Red Cross. Although no appeals have been made for such contributions, res idents in many eastern cities have made generous proffers of aid.
 In readiness to make shipments on a few hours notice the despatch of clothing and other supplies will be held up pending word from relief workers in Halifax. This will prevent any waste which might result from the &C., cumulation there of a superfluous re- serve of food and other materials.
 Red Cross officials were informed by the New Haven railroad today that the special train which left New York yes terday with physicians and supplies probably would reach Halifax late to-

 Now it happens that a strange turn of fortune has temporarily s:illed the industry of an entire continent which once possessed an enormous hoard of gold. These people cannot at present raise food, make enough guns and am intuition and manufacture sufficient wares for their necessities. Their future existence as political entities hangs upon the prompt acquisition of these indispensables. To obtain them they must turn 10 Us. and, as has been change between different nations being gold, in return for fleets of munitions, clothing. equipment and provisions we are receiving shiploads of Euro pean gold.

 However much we may deplore the necessity that calls the nation to arms, we must all bow to the neces- sity, and gird our loins to meet the enemy whether at home or abroad. OUR COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG, OUR COUNTRY. But Inc country cannot be wrong!
 Patience has ceased to be a virtue; the president and congress have spoken in no uncertain terms. They know and understand .he situation far better than we.
 The injuries done our nation have been so many and so persistent, so defiant. that self respect can no longer endure them
 Violating the laws of God and man Germany has trampled upon interna- tional law as well. The lives of our citizens travelling on the high seas have been ruthlessly and inhumanly taken; our property destroyed. Ac- credited agents of the central pow ers have stirred up dissatisfaction and reasonable conduct on the part of misguided citizens.
 Hugo Grotlus, the great Dutch statesman said that Where just de- termination cease, war begins The arbitrament of arms should be the last resort of nations. But we are NOT Ito proud to fight when 10 other recourse is left us.
 Congress has pledged every re- source of the country to effect a speedy and successful termination of :he struggle and to secure the peace of the world.

 In order tha. money shall secure ia any place a full equivalent of ser vice-housing, food and clothing-it must be made of substance with an intrinsic value of it's own
 In other words the raw material itself must be worth substantially as much as the sum it represents.
 To facilitate affairs it is necessary that money shall be guaranteed ex- actly as represented That is, contain the amount and quality of metal upon which it's universal acceptance is pre- dicted.
 Ne do not have privately manu factured money. becaues we cannot reply upon the integrity of private Individuals.
 Consequently the uttering of coins and the issue of promissory notes 70 pay over cons, is vested solely in gov ernments.
 Furthermore. there must needs be- at least one kind of money standard everywhere.
 Man. in his fiscal experiments. early found that such a course was irds- pensable 70 the security of his in- genious plan of saving time and bother
 From the very beginning there there was one metal possessed of virtues held by no other It would not rust or tarnish-could be applied to the most uses and was never abundant. Copper, tin, zinc and silver were all and always available in greater quan- .ities.
 Every community had need of more gold than it's resources could provide.
 No matter what man held, he was open to a trade which would bring him piece of this precious sub stance. .
 It is said that old Peruvans had mines which yielded more gold than their requirements, but that is only hearsay.
 In brief, Nature seems 10 have an ticipated the exigencies of progress and has in no era disclosed an excess of yellow treasure.
 If copper or iron (wi;hout one of which it would be practically impos- sible to carry on a complex society," were ten times as scarce they would logically be ten times as valuable. In which case man would work ten hours for a piece of copper or iron of given weight Cor the equivalent there ofD, where he now works one hour to obtain it-or he would give ten times as much corn or land or permit anoth- CT man to live ten times as long on his property.
