There are three sources from

the government obtain war funds.
and even from the accumulated saw

portion. These accumulated saw
ings are invested In industries and
business which are necessary to the
country's welfare and prosperity
and 1t is only that portion Of these
savings which are seeking invest
ment that the government will re-
ceive in exchange for bonds.
The second and great source from
which the government is to derive Its
war fund is the wealth produced
during the war. Part Of this 1t will
obtain by taxation and part In ex-
change for bonds. The annual pro-
duction of the United States. from Its
farms, mines. factories. and other
sources. amounts to fifty billion dol
lars a year and out Of this fifty bill

part from taxes and part from the

Dorsey and Dacre. They met nearly
every day, and Nat began to under
stand that not only was Dorsey q vii
lain and chiseler, but also wicked
! plOtter.
''I'm going to see Mr.. Talcott and
tell him the danger he's in," Nat So
llloquized one morning. He had over
heard q precious scheme put up by
Dorsey to have the influence Of Dacre
secure the discharge Of Ned from en-
ployment. This happened that very
day, before Nat got into action. False
charges were made against Ned; he
had fallen innocently into pitfalls con-
| jured by Dorsey, who wanted to get
a possible rival out of the way.
II don't need to tell Mr.. -Talcott," !"
chuckled Nat at noon. Dorsey had
been writing letters all the morning
and had gone for stroll, leaving his
desk open.
Nobody Home Nat" read the letters
and said AHA !" jubilantly. Then
click! snap! and two Of the letters
were photographed. Then Nat sped
for the village photographer to develop
and print them.
"Can see you for minute or two,
Miss Ward?" inquired Nat, appearing
at the Ward home the next day.
"Why, I'm right before you, Nat"
| smiled Eva in her usual sweet way.
"Yes'm, but if you'd come out into

added Nat as they reached a garden
seat
Which he did-all Of his acquaint-
anceship with Dorsey. Then Nat pro-
duced the photograph Of the two let
ters. Eva flushed Indignantly as she
read the boast Of Dorsey written to
q friend in the city, that he had cap
tured a simple heiress" and would
have her fortune to spend. There was
q second letter to another friend, gloat-
ing over the clever plot whereby Ned
had lost his position.
'The poor, dear fellow" !" burst forth
Eva.
'You mean?" anxiously interrogated
Nat.
"DIr Talcott, Of course"
"It's all right, then" nodded Nat.
''Ive discharged myself from my en-
ployment with Dorsey. I hope you'll
discharge him, the villain"
| Then Nat went to see Ned and re-
peated his weird tale and intimated
that his opinion was that Miss Ward
would welcome him If he would call
upon her.
Which was true, and Nat was a
happy, happy man that afternoon, as,
from behind a sheltering bush, he
snapped" Eva and Ned, who had come
to a full understanding
It was the next afternoon, and Ned
was again in the garden with Eva, and
Nat, working in the front garden,
grinned broadly as in response to a
ring at the doorbell, the servant an
nounced to Dorsey, according to In
structions from Eva:
"Nobody home"
'Ha ha !" laughed Nat, as he sided
up to the discounted Dorsey, nobody

and he exhibited the developed photo

Talcott is going to get his job back,
and your friend, Dacre, will be fred,
and you better get out Of town, If you
don't want to meet Mr.. Talcott, who
has promised to give you a good

And, as the baffied plotter sneaked
away, inimitably adopting the tones
Of the housemaid, Nat, with broad

Poor pitching is an almost insur-

to prove it's undoubted ability II the
pitching corps is below the average.
This Is an axiom in baseball that re.
quires no demonstrable proof. For

strengthened the belief that Mack
didn't know what he was doing
when he released the trio.
Bender shut out the Cubs few
days ago. allowing one hit II was
his thiri consecutive shutout and
his fourth straight victory.
In the three shutouts he al
lowed total Of eight hits, one

the last three weeks have been
equal to his best seasons.
