Time Goes On.

Another summers looped the
loops; now autumn round the
doorway snoops. Now, autumn $
strictly a success, and all her
golden days I bless, She brings
a soothing balm and sweet Tor
people wearied by the heat; she
wells herself in purple haze, and
brings cool nights and pleasant
days, and gives the woods a crim-
son tint, and hues too wonderful
to print. She is a daisy while she
lasts, but soon she let's in wlntry
blasts; too soon, too soon she
willis and droops; another sum-
mer's looped the loops. Another
summers slipped away! And we
have grown a bit more gray;
we've travelled further on the
road that leads to where we'll
drop the load. I take my mirror
and behold fresh symptoms that
I'm waxing old. My eye that
once shed steely stares that tanned
the hearts of grizzly bears, no
more sends forth a dazzling
glance, no more it CLEANS like
polished lance, or like a falcfion
from its sheath, and 1 am wearing
wooden teeth. So fast the sea-
sons scamper by! While we're
complaining of July, we hear
November at the door, and winds
are chill and frost is hoar. Time
hurries on and scatters years;
perhaps Our wailing voice he
hears, but doesn't care for it
three whoops-another summers
looped the loops.

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN
MUST BE PRESSED HARD
Unless People Work Together Over
subscriptions Of Big Bond Issue
viii Not Be Possible, and over
subscription is Important
to All.

Washington, May 17.-Representa-
tives of the federal reserve banks and
treasury officials in direct charge OF
the task Of floating the Liberty loan
were virtually unanimous tonight In
the opinion that a tremendous cam
paign must be successfully carried on
within the next 27 days if the Liberty
loan is to meet with the oVersup-
scription which officials hope for.
Predictions that the big issue would
be oversubscribed several hundred
per cent. made on the face of the
first returns OF estimates of banks as
to the probable amount they and their
customers would take have not ma
terialized thus far. There is a cry
ing need, in the opinion of officials,
for the small investor in great num-
hers, to make felt his power.
Probably not one-half OF the loan
has, heen taken, including allowance
for approximately s45o,O0o,oo OF
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
already issued.
A large oversubscription, ottlclais

would show that the United States
is in the war to stay until Germany
is defetaed.
Secretary McAdoo's trip through
the Middle West is part OF the pro
gram to arouse the country, especial
" the small investor, to the need OF
making a fr!l md Immediate response
to the governments needs.
How WIDESPREAD the opinion IS thar
the issue already has been oVersub-
