climate which the ncarness to the
tampering ocean guarantees, have
worked wonders for scores of delicate
end irritable children. Keen appetite
and sound sleep do more for them
than medicine. All children love the
o"t-of-doors, but probably the most
fascinating place in the world to a
child is the beach, where he can wade
in the water and play in the sand
tc his hearts content.
The moral atmosphere is another
attraction to parents. There are no
saloons and the beach front is entirely
free from the Objectionable features
sometimes prevalent at beach resorts.

The following letter is from T. E.
Stephenson, city editor of the Santa
Ana Register, and vice president Of
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce of Orange County. He t Is
what the associated chambers has
done for Orange county, congretulates
Imperial county upon forming such
an organization and predicts bright
outlook for it:
edgar johnson, The Press, Ell Cen
tro, CAL: An Associated Chambers OF
Commerce in Imperial County ought
to be a successful organization and
l believe that the decision to organ
| ize such an institution is ! cause for
lcongratulation.
"Nothing that has ver'been done
in Orange county did so mucn TO
break down sectional feeling as did
the operation of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce. AS you well re-
rember, few years ago il was the
habit of the north end of the county
to be suspicious of everything that
started in the south end, and the
south end had little faith in anything
that the north end advanced. You
will also remember that tn, chief in
door sport of the newspapers Of the
county outside Of Santa Ana was to

Of the road. You will also remembe,
tnat the county seat frequently evi-
denced resentment at what it thought
was unfair accusations from else
where.
"The Associated Chambers has
done great deal to create a better
understanding. We have found that
after all most of our grievances were
imaginary. When representatives
from all over the county get together
il our monthly meetings we talk
things over, and we find that mar
who has had his say out generally
ccols down so that he can see the
other side of the question.
"There is no question but what the
spirit of cooperation itself has been
worth the entire effort. In addition
to the creation of a county spirit OF
cooperation many specific achieve
ments are to be credited to the AS
sociated Chambers. The first of
these was the starting and conducting
of a campaign for good roads bonds.
Orange county had miserable roads.
There was not a foot of pavement in
the county outside of the Incorporate
ed cities. The proposal for $1,27O,OOO
bonds originated in the Associated
Chambers, and the campaign for the
bonds was conducted by the Associ-
ated Chambers.

FOUR PERCENT AND SIX PERCENT.

GONE OF our moneycd citizens are faltering in the pur.
- chase OF Liberty bonds which pay 4 percent interest
II is understood that these anti patriots take the stand
that they can make their money earn 8 percent
Shame on them! OF course they can get 8 percent for
their money II they'll lend the money to blind men they
might be able to get 10 percent. Perhaps they might get
a rate that world make Shylocks financial transaction,
take on an air OF charity
Six percent! Yes, these money lenders can easily get
that rate. But have they ever paused to consider how it is
possible for them to be sure OF both principal and inter est ?
1t happens that the most powerful government in the
world gives the protection which makes the moncycd mans
b percent investment mighty safe. And the moncycd man
hesiiates to supply funds to enable this great government
TO be in position to give continued protcction'
Suppose everyone in the United States should assume
The same attitude There would be no war chest. We
would face a situation that might be featured by PrusSian
hordes sweeping across this country to collect an indemnity
Where would the moncycd man then turn TO find a
safe investment that would pay 8 percent
It's queer that some people cannot sec that their duty
IS TO support the government that gives them protection
Buy Liberty bonds for patriotic reasons. They will pay
nice dividends, but that's merely incidental Buy the bonds
such a purchase will help to end the war,

DRAFTING THE DOLLAR.

Nov that we have selected a lot of our best young men
' to serve their country, and have arranged to tax those
who give no personal service, there is no trouble in getting
patriotic people to subscribe for Liberty bonds. But there's
. lot Of trouble in getting unpatriotic men to respond. Their
dollars should be drafted.
Yet we have no way right now of drafting the money
Of those who seem to be unwilling to perform their part
Of the duty in this crisis. 1t is proposed to post the names
OF the financial slackers so tina, real patriots will be able to
see who are obstrueting the movement that is to bring
peace and security for the world.
Merely posting the names OF these financial holdback,
Who cling to their money with the grip of a miser, is a
milder treatment than they deserve. We must find a way
10 draft their dollars, legally, of course: in times like ,hes
q mere blacklist is not a punishment, that fiji, the act.
10 there any man with money in this town who dare,
take the risk Of becoming a social and business ou,eas, by
refusing to buy Liberty bonds1
The stingy man should draft his dollar; il he doe. not
some one else is likely, in a legal way, Of course, to draft
the dollar for him.

MoRTGAGING THE HOME TO SAVE TT.

USUALLY the owner of a home pays off a mortgage to
- save the home. But our chief of police placed a mort
gage on his home to get money which would enable him
10 purchase Liberty bonds that are to furnish the funds to
assure a protective government. The Nichols home was
~mortsased to save it, the words Of the chief being IF the
government doesn't get the money to successfully prosecute
the war, there is a fine chance that a man will have no
home that he can call his own"
More than one real patriot is borrowing money on hi,
home to invest in Liberty bonds. The home owner com
p~rehends the crisis and he doesn't propose to take any
chance. He is ready to mortgage his home TO save tina,
home and to save his country.

THE NOBLE WOMEN WORKERS.

WOMEN are energetic in canvassing for the Liberty
" bonds. Every home in Oklahoma City is viewed as
a prospect for placing these bonds. An organization has
been effected to see that no home is overlooked in the cam
paign to dispose OF our share OF the Liberty bonds. The
women are responding nobly in the cause.
The activity shown by the women of Oklahoma City
should serve as a spur to men with money who have no,
yet subscribed for Liberty bonds in the volume that their
resources indicate should be in evidence.
While the women are devoting most of the time to can.
wasting residence districts, they will gladly accept sub
%scripions from men. 1t should not be necessary for pa.
ttiotic men to be solicited. Such men should come forward
with their subscriptions. They can show their LOYALTY, their
gallantry, their patriotism, by voluntarily handing big
checks to the various committees of women. The women
are noble workers. Give them your help.

THE WORST STACKER OF ALL.

+ a young man feels inclined to be a Stacker when his
services arc needed in the military establishment, he is
likely influenced by the fact that he has only one life, and
self preservation is uppcrmost in his mind.
But how about the financial slackcr2 Well, he is the
worst OF all The man with one life takes a gloomy view
OF the field and knows that that single life is precious to
him and others. But the man with money cannot take
the single viewpoint If he responds literally, he has more
money left. Al no time is he asked to give ALL.
But the young man who goes to the front offers all
that he has-his life.
The worst Stacker of all-he is to be dcspiscd. While
II might be too rabid to suggest that he be driven out Of
town, that's the sentiment of real patriots.
