R,cH MEMS AND POOR MEMS BONDS,

The average man thinks that the new
issue of Liberty Loan bonds IS gong
to be hard to sell but it is not. 1t ma!
look big at three billions for the whole
country but the nation subscribed for
that amount last spring.
| A per cent bond is a good invest
ment for many people whereas S7s
per cent bond of the fiNt issue called
for a patriotic sacrifice of half OF
per cent. The new bonds will go TO
premium within sixty days from date
| of issue.
The 81 per cent bonds are AT pre-
MUM Of "a of l per cent now and they
are eagerly sought by rich investors
Liberty Loan bonds continued yester-
day TO hold first place in the New YORK
| bond market as the most sought after
| security dealt in" reads the New York
| bond market report. With 81 per cent
bonds at a premium now nobody takes
any chance when buying per cents.
But there is need for a selling cam
paign among the people. very rich
man loses something when he takes
these new bonds because they Will be
subject TO income surtaxes on all in
come above $4,000 per annum. The
others were exempt. If rich mans
income exceeds $50, 900 year he must
pay per cent normal tax and II per
cent surtax on all of his income N ex-
cess of $4,000. If he buys these new
bonds he will have to pay II per cent
income surtax on his per cent inter
est income from the bonds which would
leave him only 1882 per cent net in-f
come from the bonds when he could
get 3ia per cent net from the first issue
OF tax exempt bonds. Miliionaires are
in the bond market today bidding for
the Liberty Loan 312s because they
are the rich mems bonds. The new As
are to be the poor mans bond because
they are tax exempt on incomes up to
s., 900 per annum and offer a better
net interest return TO all men whose
incomes do not exceed $4,000 per an
mum.
Rut so many people took the first
bonds that we can't sell the new issue,
is the fear of many. There were over
s,eoo. 900 subscribers to the first issue
and nearly all OF them can sell out at
premium today and take the new issue
and there are at least y 900. 900 more
who can take Is who did not subscribe
for the 3As In the last analysis Iowa
always raises three hundred million
bushels of corn in one crop. This
years crop will bring 80 cents per
bushel more than last years crop
which means that the corn crop will
bring back to Iowa $4,000, geo more
than It brought last year and Iowa IS
asked to invest s124o0o.oo in the new
per cent bonds. We are offered
per cent and our principal back on our
war profits in Iowa, whereas so per

been conscripted by the war tax bill.

APARTMENTS AND BABIES.
Davenport Democrat

Davenport wants more workmen
The countries that have been longer
at war thans this want more babies
Now let's hear from the reader VINO
saws that the two desires conflict.
To get more workmen, Davenport
needs more homes. We've heard this
lately until we know 1t by heart one
method Of securing more homes tha'
has been suggested, is the transform
ing OF large and roomy houses. OF the
older types, into apartment buildings
To some extent this has been done
And now the order goes out, thru the
apartment buildings, that renters are
not 10 have children.
But workers do have children. Some
one has made 1t into proyerb. that
we can look to "a fool for riches and
a poor man for babies"
So what are the people who want
homes, and whom we want to have
homes here to do IL families with chill
dren are shut out of apartment build
ings?
People with children say 1t isn't
right People with no children, but
out Of the apartments. agree with them.
These leave perhaps the other occu :
pants OF apartments. and the owners
OF the same. on the side Of the baby
less family.
Must we give up our babies in order
to live? II not let's have more homes
where the babies are welcomed. We
can not revise the family life OF the
nation to suit the landlord. And II the
apartment house won't shelter the
family with children, we certainly
must have more detached houses!
Here's a theme for the Buy Home
booster. Let's have more homes, more
families, more babies. more prosperity,
more happiness. They all go to-
gether.
Without children, an apartment isn't
a home. It's just shelter.

a big place on the program. and he
gave it as his opinion that while there

there be Increases that would be founo

il true. to a very large number OF
people who have heard all sorts OF
alarming tales about shoe prices in the
near future Dealers or their employees
have been in the habit Of advising Gus
toners to buy now. as the price o.
shoes would advance to $15 or $20 per
pair later in the season. And no DOUBT
many people did make purchases be-
cause of this threat. II. however. there
should be even slight reduction be-

body; but there are good chances that
many Of them would go to the polls
and vote for the amendment il they
had any idea it would be lost without
their help.
All this comes about by the unex.

drink beverage that has been placed
on sale since the closing OF the saloons.
The one-time saIoonkeepers have their
money invested in the new enterprise.

In other words. the "drys' will vote

less, the forgetfu1 voter. There win be
several of him. and his absence from
the polls may determine the result one

If you are looking about for a pretty
model for an afternoon gown it almost
goes without saying that you want
smart one-piece traight-hanging frock.
There are many materials that provide
choice for making it, but satin or
chiffon velvet, or both combined, lie up
permost in the mind, if the dress is to
be elegant rather than practical.
The one-piece dress offers the de-
signer the best of opportunities for
making effective combinations of ma
terials. Serge and satin, and other
cloths with satin or velvet, crepe with
velvet sar fur and cloths with fur-fab-
RIGS, are a few that have been made so
successfully that they pave the way to
many more.
A lovely combination of satin and
chiffon velvet is shown in the picture.
In this the chiffon velvet is cut in
redingote style over satin that has the
effect OF an underdress. A panel Of
satin, from collar to hem, is defined
on the edges, with small velvet-covered

sought to accomplish this by lincftlng
rebellion in the hopes TINT they would
finally obtain control of the govern
ment. Then the entire country of
Mexico would be in their hands to
treat as they saw fit.
If the Mexieans were content to sit
undisturbed and permit Lopez and his
bandits to rob and kill that was some
thing which did not concern the United
States. But, when he crossed the
border and trespassed on United States
territory killed American citizens and
robbed and burned their homes, In adj
dition to assaulting American women,
it was time for the government at
Washington to intervene. And, If they
did not, then there was something
wrong with that government, some
where.
Believing he was acting for the best,
the Major had taken his troops across
the border. Later he had received in
structions from Washington to delay
the invasion pending negotiations. He
had disobeyed the orders because he
believed the debt that Pedro made the
night of the Discovery outrage should
be paid in full, and the Major wanted
to assist in collecting that debt.
These men, whose bodies were now
scattered before him, some of them
torn and shattered and many disfig-
ured beyond recognition, had believed
it their duty to demand payment from
Lopez and his band, and, when he had
asked his company how many of them
stood ready to follow him, every one
of his men had stepped up.
True. they were young men. many
of them, and they doubtless had wives,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts at
home waiting for their return. Per-
haps the world did have need for them

SIXTEENTH EPISODE
Court artiaIeG.

Soon after Major Winston was
placed in the ilnprovised grave by his
brave and Loyal comrades, i've lapsed
into Inconsistencies, for he was
weak and i'll from the loss of blood.
When he recovered some hours later
all was dark and silent shout kim. He
slowly raised himself w and g2zed
out of his shelter. There, spread out
on the sand of DiAblo Pass, We're the
bodies of his faithful fighters.
The Major was not a weak man. on
the contrary, he WAS considered one
of the bravest men that ever Shout
dered q rifle, and it was his love of
fighting that had won him his epaulets-
His record in the Civil war, where he
fought under Sheridan, had won him
distinction and the appointment of
sergeant major. He came from fam
lily of fighters, and, ever since he was
old enough to understand the meaning
of the word he loved to fight. When
the Spanish-American war broke out
he was one of the first TO go back into
service, although he was actually re-
tired at the time. Fighting was his
very life, and though he had been
wounded many times, and his poor old
body was fairly Clipped with bullet
MARKS, yet he considered it the great
est honor any man could have, and the
greatest tribute he could pay his coun-
try and his flag.
He had often said that man had
but two things to live for; one was his
wife, and the other to fight for his
country. Colonel Horton agreed with
the Major in this, for there was no
more courageous soldier than Liberty's
father. The two veterans had been
boys together and had grown up in
each others friendship. They had en-
listed together, suffered military hard
ships together, and, on more than one
occasion, came very near dying togeth-
er. In the days that preceded the
Civil war they had hunted Indians in
the middle West During the trouble
some days in New Mexico, when a
white man was In danger Of being
