LIBERTY BONDS COMPARED
With INSURANCE POLICY
In One Case the Purchaser Pays
the Premium, In the Other
the Government.
By CHARLES BUXTON GOING
of the ViuiIa ntes,

A liberty bond is actually an insur-
ance policy, issued by the United
States, which guarantees return Of the
full face value. But instead Of asking
you to pay any premium the United
States pays premiums to you.
What does your bond insure?
Life, liberty and the pursuit Of hap
piness.
Is anything more vitally important?
What protection would you find in a
policy on your house, your goods, your
health, your old age, if our country
should suffer the fate Of Belgium, Of
Servia, of Poland, of Roumania, of
northern France? What would the
underwriters have left with which to
repay your individual loss, or what
would be left of you to profit by the
payment?
Make no mistake. The peril is real
vivid-swift to leap upon us unless our
defense is ready. True, we have pow
er in abundance-men, talents, re
sources. But they cannot be modified
for our protection until we have first
modified our money. That is what
the liberty bonds will do.
One of the worlds greatest states
men when he was asked to name the
first requisite for successful war re
piled with emphasis, Money"
"And the second requisite?"
Money!"
"And the third?"
Money
Every one of US can prove himself a
statesman In decision and action by
lending to our country some portion of
this paramount requisite. If we have
not the ready cash ON hand we can
save the contribution week by week
and do our bit just as effectively. Any
bank will gladly explain how and han
die all the business details without
charge
And finally the promise held out by
these liberty bonds is far happier than
that Of any insurance policy, which
merely undertakes to reimburse you If
you lose. The liberty bonds are a
guarantee that we shall not lose. You
win with your country and collect your
policy too.
Insure the United States and the
United States will insure you.
Buy liberty bond!

DOGS ARE ENEMIES OF
MANY HOME GARDENERS
Nebraska Man Would Have Gov
ernment Tax on Canines-They
Are a Foe to Sleep, He Says.

Next to war, dogs seem to be about
the most terrible thing in the world,
according to the hundreds of letters
that are coming to the National Emer-
gency Food Garden Commission, which
Is conducting a nation wide campaign
for more food gardens and is Just CON-
pleting a nation wide survey on what
the country is really doing in food con.
servation.
In these letters all sorts of answers
to the dog question, if it be question,
are made. One Of the latest is from
G. S. Harrison Of York, Neb., who
sends tabulated account of what can
be done with the dog. Harrison says
LET our 100000 dogs pay some OF
our war tax" He is for ten dollar
tax on dogs. He of course would save
the trained sheep dog. The document
tells of the damage done by dogs tG
children, horses, gardens, and also what
good gloves a dog skin will make.
A national dog law is advocated by
the Nebraskan, who says: "a ten cent
dog in town is often allowed to rot
people of 500 worth of sleep in a sin
gle night while he barks at a cat
Sleep is one of the best assets we
have. A man might as we'll break into
neighbor's house and rob him of S;
or $40 night than to allow that worse
than worthless dog to rob him Of
sleep. This should be a national mat
ter. State laws are not strong
enough"
Many have written the commission
asking it to start campaign agains
cats, and hundreds of suggestions arr
being sent in as to how to police th'
food gardens. The boy scouts hav'
been organized for this purpose il
many towns.

ROLL CALL OF 1917

Come, answer to the roll call!
The drums are sounding clear.
Come, burn your name into the scroll
OF this immortal year.
Come, Freedoms sons and daughtersl
The world is torn with strife.
Come, follow in the fateful ranks
To serve with breath and life.
Serve in the field or factory.
Serve with the deadly guns
Or serve upon the perilous seas,
Above the lurking Huns.
Serve by the strong and willing arm
Or by the ringing word,
So only that your task be done,
Your eager plea be heard.
We gather at the crossroads,
The parting Of the ways.
Who now fulf1lls his little hour
Works for eternal days;
Then rally to the mighty roll,
While drums are sounding clear,
So when the call shall reach your name
Your soul shall answer "Here!"

A Toast From the Trenches

Here's to the end of kings and queens,
And general STATS and submarines!
Here's to the day when men, grown wiser,
Refuse to bow to czar or kaiser
Here's to the end of shrapnel she'll
Here's to the end of war and hell,
The wrecks of men, the hate, the fears,
The wounds, the mighty food of tears!
Here's to the end of exploitation,
Povertys grinding degradation,
The waste of competition dead,
And one grand commonwealth insteadl
Here's to the day that is to be,
With man and child and woman free!
Here's to the end of all autocracyl
Here's to the coming world democracy

TENER REPLIES TO
PLAYER COMPLAINTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Presidcnt Ten
er Of the National League, in u state
ment here tonight in reply TO complaints
Of National League players that their
salaries had been cut. declared salary
adjustment was absolutely necessary.
1.-The game must be put on such a
basis where the men who have money In
the clubs can expect a reasonable profit
on their investment" he said.
1.-THE best proof that salaries are too
high is that despite the fact that we
had q record attendance. few clubs made
money. The same conditions, I am told,
existed In the American League. which
also had it's record attendance.
IF the clubs cannot make any profits
with record attendances. what can they
do in lean years? And no ono can deny
the right Of tho club owner. after his
big outlay Of money for players and
stands. to expect his baseball property
to yield him fair Income.
THE players should be moro reason
able Salaries were artifcially inflated
during the existence Of the Federal
League, and players by holding strike
club over their clubs, forced them to pay
salaries out OF. all proportion to what
their services were worth or what the
clubs could afford to pay. Naturally.
such contracts could not DO expected to
