Even the baby is to have patriotic
bent given to his affections, by means
of toys this year. Uncle Sam appears
among the clever, homemade Christ
mas dolls, that reveal rubber ball
somewhere in their anatomy. They
have limp bodies. stuffed with little
cotton and are dressed in cotton IA
brics, as cotton flannel, eiderdown or
percale.
In the Uncle Sam doll the ball Is
used for the head-but in the other
one it makes the body. This doll Is
dressed in blue eiderdown and has a
row of the tiniest pearl buttons down
its rotund tummy. When the ball Is
punched the doll squeals-much to the
surprise and delight Of his babyship.

Work Basket of Paper Rope

No gifts are quite so much appreci-
ated as those which show the painstak-
ing work of the giver. The pretty
work basket, pictured above, is such a
token of warm friendship as every
woman might wish to give to someone
near and dear to her.
1t is made of paper rope in gray and
lined with rOse-cOlored silk. 1t is an
achievement to be proud of and gift
to cherish. Little pockets, set about

will carry all the tools for sewing.
They are made of the rose-colOred silk.

The secretary Of the interior, Mr..
Lane, in an interview in the New
York Times of May 6, discusses the
nations war plan. OF particular in
terest are his remarks on co-operar
tion in industry, as compared with
the anarchic individualism which has
marked previous times, but no longer
serves. Mr.. Lane says, in part:
1--WE are just beginning in the
United States on this work of broad
gauge organization and cooperation.
The war has walked us up to the ne
cessity of 1t. 1t has shown beyond
all question that democracy cannot
rest on economic anarchy and the
great test for US is going to be to
get rid of such anarchy.
I'VE cannot continue to blunder
along under conditions which make
for a shortage of labor in one section
of the country and enforced idleness
in another part; of scarcity and high
prices of a commodity here and of
quantities of that same commodity 60
ing to waste elsewhere.
"The war is going to teach us how
to put an end to these things and,
after the war, we are going to pro-
duce more wheat, more steel, more
everything, than ever before and
with less waste than ever before. But
It is going to be a hard lesson.
'It is no reflection on our society
to admit that we need reforming, for
It took such tremendous thing as
this war to make the need manifest
to ourselves. We have, without real
iZing 1t carried individualism to the
point of selfishness-where 1t was in
danger of defeating itself. Now we
will conserve individualism and in
dividual initiative for this country by
showing its proper limits as marked
by the absolute necessity of co-opera-
tion.

has been the most individual thing
in the United States. We are show

AN HONEST DRAFT

Within a few days the. machinery
for wholesale conscription Of our
young men will be set in motion. The
American people are hoping that the
operating of that machine will be free
from any taint Of scandal.
Perhaps the handling of the draft
ing machinery will be absolutely i'm
partial and incorruptible. Still that
would not always have been possible.
It is not many years ago that the
making of registration lists or cleo
tions was badly tainted. Names were
enrolled Of men that had been dead
for years, and the politicians brought
in gangs from other states to vote
on those names. All kinds Of frauds
were worked off on an Indifferent
public.
Today popular sentiment is strong
against these methods, and the poll
ticians do not dare employ them so
much. There are too many risks
about it. 1t is cheaper to manipulate
Legislation through lobbies. But NO
doubt there are still plenty Of elec-
tion officials who are still purchas-
able. Some of the draft clerks might
be open, to quiet influence, accom-
panied by the sufficient consideration
to see that this or that name was
accidently omitted.
1t is not likely that this thing viii
take place on any considerable scale
Public sentiment would be so bittel
against 1t that comparatively few of
ficials would dare try it. However
if there are anywhere any dishones
men in charge of this drawing the!
will note the penalties provided b!
the act. They should also remembeI
that conviction for this offense woulC
be accompanied by a peculiar ig
nominy, Where people might toler
ate an election fraud they will b.
very bitter against this form Of pref
erence, and will favor the limit o
penalty for it. In view Of this |
seems likely that efforts to corrup
the draft will be rare so that we shal
get a very honest conscription. 1t Il

THE FIFTY DOLLAR BOND

In issuing Liberty Loan bonds in a
denomination as small as $50 the
secretary of the United States treas
ury has put 1t in the reach of almost
every American citizen to do a real
and actual service to his country.
Not all can fight, not all car, render
personal service in other ways, but
those who are denied the privilege
of serving their country in person
have the privilege of serving her by
lending their money to win her vic
tories.
But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
bonds. Thrift and a wise economy
in investing small savings commend
these Liberty Loan bonds to small in
vestors. They are safe, and consider
ing their tax-free quality-free from
all federal, state and local taxes Tin
heritance taxes excepted) and free
from any war tax that may hereafter
be levied, affording an absolutely net
income of 3k per cent, they consti-
tute an ideal investment for savings.
Nor is there any reason for wait
ing for later bond issue in the ex-
pectation of a higher rate of interest
being obtained, for the law provides
that should such bonds be issued lat-
er, Liberty Loan bonds may be ex-
changed for them at par.

And as he sat beside her,
It seemed impossible to him

Official Bulletin
Covers U. S. Doings

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Many
misunderstanding have arisen with
regard to the Official Bulletin. which
is being issued by the Committee of
Public information under order of
the president. This publication is not
a newspaper in the accepted sense of
the word. Its single purpose Is to
assure the full and legal printing of
the official announcements Of govern
ment heads in connection with gov
ernmental business.
Exclusive publication is not its
thought or ambition. II will not in
terfere with the legitimate functions
of the press in any manner, nor will
official news be delayed or withheld
in order to give the Bulletin any
special news significance.
In the columns of the Bulletin 1t
is proposed to publish proclamations
and executive orders of the president;
rules and regulations which the vari-
GUS heads of the executive depart
ments and other government estab-
lishments are authorized and directed
by various statutes to make and pro-
mulgate; administrative orders and
rules framed and issued by each de.
partment or government establish
ment for the conduct of its own bust
ness and the regulation Of its offices;
official bulletins and official state
ments of policy or of facts issued by
heads of departments and other re
sponsible government officials stat
utes enacted relating to war matters
of which the public should be official
ly informed, and other matters which
from time to time it is deemed advis
able to publish.
The Official Bulletin will be SEN
without charge to the president of thu
United States; to the members of the
presidents cabinet and officials Of al
government departments to The
members Of the United States senate
and house Of representatives; mem
bers of the American diplomatic an(
> consular service; the foreign diplo
matte and consular service; Officers
of the army and navy; every postof
flee In the United States Ito be post
ed daily); governors Of all states
mayors of all cities; all daily newspa
pers and press associations Of thu
, country; all magazines; colleges ant
, universities; chambers of commerc'
, and boards of trade; and other publ,
institutions.
To the general public and to pri
vate institutions a charge of S.
, year will be made, as the provisions
under which the Bulletin is published
make 1t impossible to distribute fre'
copies. Necessarily the issue is lin
tied, and were there no other binding
restrictions mechanical impossible
ity would prevent a general free cir
{ culation. Therefore, the same plal
( now observed in connection with tn
Y sale of the Congressional Record, ant
approved by law, will be followed b,
