Will the Stores Sell
 Bonds of Great Loan

Tn connection with the announce iaent that final action on the govern rnent's seven billion dollar loan has been taken, and Secretary McAdoo' s suggestion that the first offering of 3 1-2 per cent. bonds be of bll- lions, the question arises, How are the bonds to be sold?
 l In a telegram to the secretary or the treasury, the National Thrift bond coxboration has offered the govern mont the information and experience recently gained in preparing Thrift Bonds'' for sale in stores of all kinds, at banks and in the plants of big manufacturing corporations.
 we feel sure." said A. H. Eyles, Jr.. general representative in Bridge port of the National Thrift Bond cor poration, "that 1t will he necessary for the government to go directly to the people with small unit bonds If any such tremendous sum is raised. lf 1t Is going to be an sOid Glory Loan, in fact, bonds ought to be on sale In every business house that flies the flag.
 eff Seven billion dollars is to be raised, every home in America that flies our flag ought to have in 1t a piece of that loan.s Every man. wo- man and child who can fine $10 to i'm vest ought to be< given chance to buy. . As
 'sIf the government will provide the small unit bonds. will the stores sell them-just as they do the merchan- disc which people buy?
 we believe they would gladly. We have found them cordial toward our own Thrift Bonds2 and eager to help us try out our theory that if safe, easily understood thrift investment is put on sale In the stores many peo- ole who have never been inside a savings bank can be induced to buy. Or course, stores would be all the more willing to help our government sell it's bonds" ~

From the Cellar of Life.

Do not be afraid, do not cry out, for life is good. came from low down, from the cellar of life, where darkness and terror reign, where nan is half beast and life is only fight for bread. It flows slowly there, in dark streams, but even there gieam pearls of courage, of intelligence and of heroism, even therebeauty and love exist. Everywhere that man is found, good is; in tiny particles and invisible roots-but still it Is there. All these roots will not perish; some will grow and flourish and pear fruit. I bought dearly the right to believe this; therefore 1t is mine my Ehole life long. And thus I have won yet another right, the right to demand that you, too, believe as I do, for am the voice of that life, the despairing cry of those who remain below and who have sent me to herald their pain. They also long to rise to self respect, to light and freedom in s'The Peasants"

DOLLAR SUCCEED TAEL

The Shanghai chamber of commerce is reported to have started a move -laat which will eventually lead to the Institution of the dollar for the tael. Issssre the establishment of the re- ], :. c.ic, all business transactions, both :scial and private, were made in Ise;s Tn 1911 the government order- e:A the substitution of the dollar in ;s.s government transactions. This tsi.ar was carried into effect in a rl..nher of provinces, but the tael con- tlnlaed to be popular in business cir ele@ in Shanghai. Owing to the nu- rie-tells disadvantages of the tael sys- te,n resulting from lack of unifor-
 aity, fiuctuation in value. etc., the
 sanghai district chamber of com
 cree and the heads of influential
 anking houses have determined to sop it's use, and to this end have or anized committee to make ar IIngements.
 The Shih Pao, a leading Shanghai vernacularApaper, commenting on the movement, says:
 .China has been the most back ward country in the world in currency reform. There are so many ways of reckoning value that it is not !only confusing but positively obstruc- tive to business because of the loss in exchange and the inconvenience in- svolyed. The new movement to adopt the dollar as the standard cur rency is a movement calculated to inn iprove the business system of this city, and for that reason it should receive the hearty support of all concerned" :"
