THE PARTED COIN
BY Belle Peno Leist

Treasure those fragments, chill

you, Nellie, have graduated from
school, and you, Warren, return from
the city two years hence, and are Of
the same mind as now, we will join
the severed coin and you can frame
it and preserve it in the home I shall
be glad to give you"
Nellie Graham cried on the Shout
der of her almost-boy lover and
Warren Boyd kissed her reYerently
on the forehead.

clared, impetuously.
"And shall always be true"
sobbed Nellie.
Theirs had been a simple, pretty
romance, all sunshine and smiles, for
good old Jacob Graham lived only to
see his adopted niece happy, and
Warren was the orphan son of two
of Mr.. Graham's boyhood friends.
Uncle Jacob had fond dreams of
turning over to Warren and Nellie,
when they married, the old home
stead, with a coy corner in the
house his sure welcome as long as he
lived.
Alas, for human plans and antici-
pations! A year after Warren had
left, Dayton, Nellie was called home
suddenly to find her aged benefac-
tor dying. She did not know it then,
but directly after the funeral the
family lawyer advised her that wor-
ny and money loss had fastened the
death of the old man. Some stock
jobbers had induced him to borrow
all he could get on the homested and
the securities they sold him turned
out worthless, and Mr.. Graham faced
ruin. There was little or no equity !
in the property. Nellie was cast upon
the world with hardly sufficient to |
get to the city and sustain herself |
until she found work.
In that respect she was most for

CADDOCk WINS IN

two falls in an hour, and did so. but
only after the prettiest exhibition of
wrestling seen in Wichita for years.
Reiff refused to stay on the defen-
sive and several times was behind

consistently maintain. however. AT
one time he seemed to have Caddock
in trouble with full nelson, but
could not retain the hold.
Caddock took both falls. the first
in thirty minutes and the second in
ten minutes. After trying head
and crotch hold for some time he
finally secured a hammerlock and
head scissors. with which he slowly
forced the Kansan to the mat. This
hold was duplicated in the second.
Caddock was not feeling well but

YET TIME TO PLANT SPUDS
Late Varieties May BE Seeded Up Tn
til End of June

Potatoes of late varieties may be
planted in Iowa up to the end of
June say the truck crops men of Iowa
State college. 1t seems sure that the
general shortage of foods will main
tain the prices of potatoes to a high
level, and as seed potatoes are quite
likely to be cheaper as the summer
opens. it would seem advisable for
farmers and town people to put in
any seed which may be obtainable.
Most years early planted late potatoes
yield the larger crop, but in seasons
when frosts are delayed and when late
moisture is good the best yield and
the best quality are secured from late
paintings.
The Rural potato or it's Seeding,
Carmen III and Sir Walter Raleigh,
are the best late varieties. If mois-
ture conditions are god in June these
potatoes may be planted upon freshly
broken pasture land.
The National Potato Association,
through its officers, and the Iowa Po-
tato and Truck Growers Association
are urging everyone who can to grow
a good acreage OF Irish potatoes.

HIDDEN MONEY DOES NO WORK
Did you ever stop to consider how
~, nnau uynrEc1

Did you ever stop to consider how
money works?
Imagine 100 men seated in one
room. Suppose each man there owes
some other one man the sum of s100.
The combined debt of those present
is then $4,000.
Suppose one of these men takes a
$40 bill from his pocket and passes
it to his neighbor; the neighbor
passes it in turn to his creditor, who
hands it over to the man he owes.
and so on until that bill has made
the rounds of these 100 men and has
returned to the first one. That sin
gle bill has then cancelled $1,000 of
of debts. and is again in the posses
sion of the man who first had it.
If it is passed around the circle
nine times more, it has paid the en-
tire $4,000 of debts; the men leave
the room free of obligation. and the
bill is in the hands of the man who
first started it circulating.
Germany has financed her war on
this same principle. She has been
practically cut off from communica-
tion with the world. But her people
had plenty of money.
one BORROWED many MILLIONS OF
dollars giving bonds in return. This
money she spent for war supplies and
it found its way back into the peck
cts of the people, only to be borrow
ed over and over again, never going
out of the empire. Thus has she
financed the war, because the people
kept their money in circulation.
That is what we must do in the
Uuited States. Historical appeals
for economy" have gone out. alarm
ing the more timid citizens who are
practicing foolishly rigid economy.
They are Withdrawing their money
from circulation-puting it where it
cannot work either for themselves
or the country.
This is the biggest mistake any of
us can make II is one of the great
est aids we could give the enemy. To
finance our war We must keep our
money in circulation.
Remember, our annual resources
are fifty billions of dollars-morc

NO TROUBLE WITH JAPAN

An English lawyer swho has lived
in Japan for thirty years. writes to
the New York Times to protest most
vigorously against the absurd Amer
lean notion. voiced occasionally by
men in public PLACES, that the next
great war is to be with Japan.
This writer, because he knows the
language like a native. because his
professional occupation has been
with international relations, and be-
cause he knows japan, writes to as
sure America that Japan does not
wish war with anybody and will not
have war with the United States I'M
less war is deliberately provoked.
1t would be easy to go over the ia
miliar ground. but no one is in a
frame of mind TO accept information
al assurances of coed will in such
days as these. The strategy of the
situation is about all that appeals to
the judgment. And that is enough
20 convince anybody who is willing
to be convinced, for how could Japan
make war upon America and how
could America make war upon
Japan? This writer says:
LAS to the idea of a war with
America. even if the Japanese
wished to fight her.-which is
just about the last thing they
desire-the practical difficulties
would be almost insurmount-
able. In the first place, how
many men would Japan have
to transport to the United States
over thousands of miles of sea,
and how about the enormous
quantity of material which
would be continuously required
to equip them? In the second
place. would America sit down
with folded arms, quietly await
ing developments? In the third
place, how would Japan protect
herself against her immediate
neighbors while the flower of
the army and navy were abroad
on such a futile expedition? In
the fourth place, how about
Great Britain?"
This country is in the way of
learning one good lesson of modern
warfare when il faces the problem
OF actually putting a fighting force
in Europe. We have been talking
glibly about sending a million men
across the ocean. When We come to
the Decentralization we shall know
just what il means to send a million
men. and we shall feel much safer
from threatened attacks from across
the seas.
We believe it was Governor Shaw
who once scared us %:,h picture of
California held by Japan. while we
were vainly trying TO cross the
mountains with inadequate armies
Japan could no more put an effective
into California than we could effect
lively invest Toxic. That is the one
point in modern warfare our partic-
ipation in Europe is going to make
perfectly plain to us.
The New York Times vouches for
he character and standing of its
English correspondent. What he
says TALES exactly with what DR.
Gulich and other Americans have
said. Japan is not hostile 10 Amer
lea Japan is not quarreisome. Japan
@ould not war with the United States
if the disposition were there.

than ample to meet all expenses of
even this great war and leave a SUBJ
stantial surplus.
The patriotic duty of American
men and women is to realize their
security-to understand that we face
no danger except that of strangling
our own country by "economizing"
so closely that we stop the flow of its
life blood-money.
Be thrifty-certainly. But don't
be misery. Live your usual life and
you will do as much for the flag as
any one not actually called to the
colors.

'The United States government can raise five billion dollars and keep on with several billion more without contracting the purchasing power of the people to the extent that general business will feel the sting, for it takes time to spend these billions and in the meantime the people of the United States will be getting that much more economic wealth. Instead of contracting business, the war is go- ing to increase business It will give the people of the United States that much more purchasing power.
 What is making good times ? Every factory in the country running to full capacity every laboring man getting top-notch wages, and every factory selling it's product at a fair profit: every farmer getting top-notch prices for his grain and cattle. Why should anyone think under these con- ditions, that there is going to be any contraction in the purchasing power of the people? The people have the money and they want manufactured materials ot all kinds.
 The government is not going to in tcI1ere with general business in this country or commander the manufac- turing institutions.

 PURCHASING POWER IS VIEW

Increased instead of restricted pur- chasing power an extraordinary boom in general business and consequent country wide prosperity are the opti- mistic prophecies of G. A.

Mckinney has made a careful analysis of the situation brought about by the entrance of the United States into the war
 His comment was the result of cef- tain pertinent questions that had been put up to him to answer. He was asked, for example. what effect the war would have on business in gen eraI He was also asked if there would be hold-up in the production of automobiles and other commercial products, whether the equipment by the United States of an army of two million men and the financing of five billions of dollars would not seriously affect the financial condition of the country. Finally he was asked the significant question whether the pur- chasing power of the people would be contracted to a certain degree. His answers were not only flat denial of any harmful results, but an enthusi- astic and confident declaration of opti- mism based on convincing facts and logic.

They are ready to turn their attention to supplying our own troops with everything they need for the defense of our own country. We have the Allies to thank for this inn portant factor in preparedness. It means now simply speeding up on pro- duotion instead of decreasing and America will come out within the next two years with a magnificent army. It IS more than possible that our army will not go into the fighting trenches of Europe, but nevertheless we will have one of the greatest scientifically equipped armies in the world and America can take her place among the nations of the world in a fitting posi- ton.
 Universal military service has got to come. The really pitiable position which America is in today with prac- tically no trained fighting force has proven that and it will be one of the greatest boOns this country has ever had. It has taken a crisis such as this to prove it to the American people. A years military training service for every young man in this country will fit him to be a real man and give us a sense of security that America has never yet felt.
