this man told Mrs. Simpson this story.
The previous summer he spent his
vacation at his old home in Maine,
and spent much Of his time up on a
certain hillside, where there was a
sheep pasture. Noticing that the path
made by the sheep in going down to
their drinking place was almost
circular, he expressed a wonder as to
why they should go so far around
when they could as we'll go in a
straight line. One day he voiced this
query to an old man who had lived
in that neighborhood fifty years. The
latter related that once there had been

to go around. and that although the
boulder had been gone for all of forty

Mr. Borden seems to entertain a special
dislike for Sim Feiners / would refer him
TO any American history of the Revolu-

OUR FISCAL SYSTEM

Sr-There is only one single logical
way out of the chaotic social and financial
regime, and that is to inaugurate a just
and democratic money system, such as

Denver and New York prophet, James
Holden.
This would provide a sufficient legal ten
der volume of money; this would mean
enough money to go around" But the
people have always been traitorously
taught that there's too much money" or
at least plenty Of money"-although the
legal tender shortage (measured by the
present amount Of bank credit) has in
creased to the alarming figure of S21 ,OOO,-
100000.
It might appropriately and ironically be
asked just precisely why enough money
would be too much money? a logician has
most embarrassing way Of asking such
curious questions
The logician can easily perceive that so

BOND sLACKERs' LAST CHANCE

TNHE Liberty Bond Stacker can be so
l. speedily converted into the Liberty
Bond patriot that one rather hesitates to
employ the abusive term. Call the aver
age citizen a stand-patter with regard to
the loan and he has it in his power to
prove with a few strokes Of his pen, a
slight expenditure Of ink and without
any drain on his purse, that you have
misjudged him.
The tireless bond campaigners are find-
ing this out every day. The slackers are
melting away. Nearly half of Philadel-
phia's loan allotment has already been
subscribed. This is a brilliant record
and we rejoice in this evidence OF pa
| triotism.
But the good work must continue and
at redoubled speed. The city would be
shamefully unworthy of the trust the
Government has reposed in It were 1t TO
fall one penny shy in loan pledges. A
quarter OF a billion dollars worth OF
bonds is the apportionment here.

main in which to. prove that Phila;
delphia's loyal generosity has not waned
but rather. superbly fiowered, since the
days OF Robert Morris and Jay Cooke.
The great army OF fighters which Uncle
Sam takes the first important step
toward raising today depends very largely
for its maintenance on the magnitude OF
the army of bond buyers throughout the
land. The conviction that Philadelphia
will more than double its present quota
OF loan subscribers springs from the be.
