hardly have gotten out of the train sheds, for it would have gone only one-seventh' of the distance. And would now, 1917, have II, 400 years to run to complete the journey of 7OOO.- 100000 miles.
 Count it-ridiculous Imagine an expert counter of money, counting this in $1.00 bills and expert enough to count one second. Then suppose he belonged to the union and worked eight hours day, Sundays and holi- days excluded. Then imagine him working on the job for fifty years dying of old age-the work taken up by another. The first man would have been dead 700 years when the ff- teenth man quit the task-each of the fifteen having worked for fifty years, and there would still be uncounted enough to give to each man, woman and child in St. Louis $50000 and leave $120,000, 100000 untouched!
 Useless to Attempt Expenditure.
 Let us look at $7,OOO, 900, 100000 in this way: Suppose a man had this sum in bank-not interest bearing and every week day of the year he drew his check for S1,000, 100000, he would after p years, have S36, 6,000,- 000.00 in the bank!
 Suppose, again, that it was invest ed, paying per cent interest, and the mans expenses were $1,00O,O00.00 a day. He would, after 70 years spending a million a day-fnd that he had fourteen billions left, twice as much as at the beginning, and might want to kick himself for pinching down to beggarly million day!
 "This loan bears interest of 1-2 per cent and the interest is S245, ,OOO,- 000.00 year, nearly $500.00 min- ute-just the interest," Louis Globe Democrat.

EPISODE NO. II, LIBERTY,
 "A DAUGHTER OF MARS

As the last episode closed the aero plane in which Liberty and Pedro were making their escape was fired upon by the Mexicans and they had to descend. They were captured and imprisoned in the camp of the ban dits. There they were quite down. cast, as they thought that there was no hope of getting the troops to come to the relief of Captain Bob and his men, who were besieged in the hut on the top of the hill. But Liberty at last began to look about and see how they could get out.
 In the cabin where they were con- fined were some old clothes and these Liberty donned so as to effect their escape. When they were all dressed up like Mexican vaqueros, Liberty put her head outside the door and when the sentry came at her she killed him with the butt of revolver that she had managed to obtain. Then she and Pedro made a dash for liberty. ! They took the horse that the sentry had and made good their escape while the Mexican camp was fast asleep. When they were we'll out of reach of the bandits Pedro left Liberty to find the American troops and warn them of the danger that Bob and his men were in. He ran post haste over the desert country until he reached the road. There fortune favored him, as an automobile came along at this time. He commandeered the machine

USES OF THE LIBERTY LOAN

To the American citizen who gives some consideration to features of his investments other than the mere mon- ey return from them, the uses to which money raised by the sale of the liberty loan bonds is to be devoted will prove a patriotic inducement to pur- chase such bonds. A certain dignity attaches to money invested in a high and noble cause.
 The liberty loan is made by the United States Government to pur- chase arms and equipment for Amer ican soldiers and sailors, food and sup plies for the American Army and Navy. The money is to be spent in America for those Americans who are fighting Americas battles on land and sea.
 Part of the money raised by the sale of liberty loan bonds is to be loaned to our allies; this too, is to be expended in America It is to be spent for food and supplies for the armies of our allies fighting on our side on the various war fronts in Eu- rope. ' .-~..ssseu.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
 SEVEN BILLION MEANS
Expert Gives an Idea-Bills Could Not Be Counted in 700 Years-WOuld Circle Earth Thirty-FOur Times.

The interest on the United States S7,000 0,000, 100000 war budget 8 1-2 ptr cent amounts to almost S50000 a minute, according to C. D. P. Hamil- ton, vice president of the Information al Shoe Company, who has figured out number of comparisons to show just what 0,0OO,0OO.OO means. His figures follow:
 There are almost exactly as many dollars in 1000, 100000 as there are seconds in 222 years. Since the De- claration of Independence, July 4, l776, to date, there are less than 4,5O0,000 seconds.
 "Seven billions in gold coin is 13,440 tons and would load nearly 1,200 cars, each with 24,OOO pounds, and make a solid train thirteen miles long.
 Seven billions of silver dollars stacked in a pile would go toward the stars to distance of 1,736 miles. And it would take the United States mint, working day and night, 224 years to coin the dollars.
 Would Buy United States.
 At $500 an acre, this vast sum would pay for every acre of land in the continental United States.
 Seven billions of dollars in dollar 'greenbacks,' end to end, would go around the earth at the equator nearly thlrty-four times. And it would take an express train running forty miles an hour, day and night, continuously, for two and one-half years, to cover the distance.
 "Let us look at it in time, or in distance.
 Seven billion minutes is 13,31S years, 9 hours and 52 minutes!
 Imagine seven billions of miles! A rifle bullet has a speed of about half mile second, yet at this great veloc- ity it would require almost 444 years to cover the distance!

and sped on his way to find the troops. But the road was in a ter rible condition and before he knew it the steering gear of the car was broken and the auto was careening down the road at about seventy miles an hour. Just as the episode closes the machine with Pedro in it tumbles over a hundred foot embankment.

Preventing Soil Erosion.

All methods of preventing soil
erosion are directed toward les
sening the amount of water that
runs off the surface and increas-
ing the amount that sinks into
the soil. If all the water that
falls on a given area were absorb
ed by the soil there could be no
erosion. For this reason vegeta-
tion is useful because it checks
the flow of water and thus af-
fords more time for the process
of absorption. Hence the move-
ment for the more general use of
cover crops in the South. In cd
dition to retarding the =
the water such crops 4 X "a
sell more or less open by the ~
etration of their roots, and in this
way further facilitate absorption.
Deep blowing produces some.
what the same effect, but does
not, of course, add any organic
matter to the soil which promotes
the granulation of the soil par
ticles and thus produces larger
spaces between the particles for
the water to sink through

The Champion Of Personal Liberty.

, He feels pretty strongly about
the thing. He really doesn't
care much about liquor himself,
just a little highball now and then
to be sociable, but he can't bear
to see the foundations of person
al liberty, for which our fathers
fought, endangered by those fa-
natics and hypocrites who would
make it illegal for him to be So
ciable. Ifa gentleman can't take
a drink when he wants one, he
might just as well throw over
democracy as a bitter mockery.
It's the principle of the thing
that he stands for-personally, as
he said before, he can take liquor
or leave it. 1t is nothing in his
life. Furthermore, he doubts
very much that there is anywhere
near so much misery caused by
drink as the antisaloon people
make out. He has seen just
about as many people suffering
from other causes, overeating,
for example. There is no reason
why a great majority of moder-
ate, sensible drinkers should be
made 60 without because a few
misuse liquor. No, it wouldn't
mean anything to him to 90 with
out it. With prostitution and
gambling it is different. Person
al liberty is not a thing to be con-
sidered there-it is the public
good.-Collier's Weekly.

Industrial GOSPEL.

A very practical contribution
to the endless discussion of this
subject was made recently in a
red.hot two-page speech as print
ed in the Engineering Maga-
zine. " The meat of the thing is
in the paragraphs given below.
Not only is this the true gospel
of vur industrial future. but a
lot of employers are practicing it
now:
The trouble with you men is
that you are executives, and not
hnman beings. You are so
swelled up by the title of general
manager, or superintendent, or
something of that kind, that you
get entirely out of touch with
the common everyday human be-
ing; and, worse than that, you
get together in boards of direct
ors and put across things as a
body that every one of you would
be ashamed to do as an individual.
The real thing is not to fight
labor; get out and fluid out what's
wrong, and fight that!
Loyalty? Why, if you men
will throw off your executive
frills and get back to human be-
ings yourselves, and meet your
employees on the same level, you
will find yourselves in the same
fix that I'm in the people in
your plant VIII work for you and
fight for you, and will make you
rich in spite of yourselves.

Wasted Land Along Fences.

Few farmers stop to think how
much land is taken up by fences.
The fence itself takes little room.
but it is impossible to grow any
thing for several feet on both
sides of the fence. The depart
ment of agriculture reports that
the ordinary rail fence occupies
a strip over IL feet wide. About
8, 600 feet of such a fence takes
up an acre of land. Hedges take
up a little more than the rail
fence, the width varying accord
ing to the width of the hedge

Don't Harvest Your Wheat Too
Early.

Owing to high prices of flour it
may be the tendency of many
farmers to harvest their wheat
crop too early. In some sections
of the State the crop is promis-
ing, but to harvest before the
berry has had time to mature
would mean a big loss to the far
mers. Great care should be ex-
ercised in harvesting wheat to
get the largest yields and grain
that will make the best grade of
-four.
Wheat should be harvested
when the grain is the dough
stage. At this stage the berries
can be indented with the finger
nails, but they are not milky.
Harvesting at this stage insures
the largest yields. Ifharvesting
is begun before the grain is in
the dough stage there will be
considerable loss due to shrink
age, and in the poor quality of
flour milled from such grain. If
harvesting is deferred until the
grain is dead ripe much grain
will be lost by shattering.
The feeding value of the straw
is decreased if it is cut after the
grain has passed through the
dough stage. -Bi-Weekly Farm
