NOW THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT
THEM-LET'S BURY THEM.

In the August American Magazine
sid" says:
Well, you and l have got our
Liberty Bonds. In buying them L sup
pose we think we have conferred a
great favor on Uncle Sam. And in a
way we have. But looking at it anoth-
er way we are just plain lucky-lucky
that a situation arose which COMPEL
ed us, for at least once in our lives,
to put something aside for rainy
day, and to put it aside IN the most
conservative and solid form. That lit
tie old three and half per cent may
not look very big to us-but the mon
ey is safe. That is the main thing.
John Rockefeller may loose his wits
and his coin and have to 60 to the old
mems home, but those government
bonds will still be good. They are
backed by Uncle Sans power to tax
the combined assets of the nation.
Therein lies the peculiar beauty OF
a government bond. The government
can do what no private corporation
can dot can go out and compel
people to pour in taxes enough to en-
able the Government to meet ODHga-
tiOns. North America would just about
slide off into the sea before anything
could happen to destroy the value OF
those bonds.
The reason | am 50 emphatic about
the Importance of a sound investment
like this is that | have been thinking
about the ordinary mans incapaclty
in normal times to lay by and hang
lvnnW
some facts about this in the maya
zine not long ago. They are facts
which one of the largest insurance
companies in the world gathered.
Here they are:
Take 100 healthy men at the age
of % and follow them. At 80 here Is
where you will find them:
Is will be dead.
/ will be very rich
t will be wealthy
> will be supporting themselves by
work.
81 will be dependent upon friends,
relatives or charity.
Or, 10 sum up, only out OF the "a
living will be well fixed" The rest
will either not have saved anything
because of their extravaganza, or they
will have lost their capital through
trying to make it yield an absurd re-
turn.
In other words this Liberty Loan
is one Of the few direct benefits to be
derived from the Great War-but
real benefit nevertheless. For it en-
courages all of us to be thrifty, and
to put at least a part of our money
into an absolutely safe place-Where
it's protection does not depend upon
any individual but is guaranteed by
the combined assets and earning abil-
tiles of a whole nation.
Thank God, therefore, for the Lib
erty Loan. Hide those bonds and try
to forget them. They will be pretty
little things to dig up and show to the
meat man when you are 65.'

Prohibition Amendment Passes.

By vote of IS to 20, eight more
than the constitutional requirement,
the Senate Wednesday adopted the
Sheppard resolution to submit to the
legislatures of the states a prohibition
amendment to the Constitution Senator
france was one of the twenty who
voted against the Resolution.
The resolution now goes to the
House, but under an agreement reach
ed by the House leaders some time ago
III which the prohibition forces &C
guessed, the vote will be delayed I'M
til the regular session, which opens
On the first Monday in December. The
vote will be taken probably before
( nristmas. There is no doubt that the
resolution will pass the House, so that
the state legislatures which meet next
January will be confronted with the
duty OF voting for or against the rati-
f. atiCn of the resolution.

W0MAN'S PART IN THE WAR.

All kinds of advice are being hand
ed out to women as to how they can
help in the war. A conscientious wO-
man, anxious TO help in every posi-
lie way, must be bewildered by the
conflicting suggestions.
Many of these ideas are advanced
by people with their heads in the
clouds who do not see the immediate
and practical thing that a person can
do. Some of us feel SO dismayed by the
wastes of our distribution system,
that the plain and simple means of
everyday economy seem too tritling to
interest them. But our distribution
problems are too large to be remedied
off-hand. While new economic systems
are being organized, the war will be
won or lost.
Meanwhile, there is one thing that
every woman can do in a simple and
practical way. That is to cooperate
heartily with the government sugges-
lions as to food economy. The obliga-
ton comes home especially to women
OF wealth who keep servants. In such
homes the pinch of necessity has new
er impelled either mistress or maid
toward economy. 1t seems easier to
throw food away than to bother to
adapt it to table use
The women of wealth can do more
ti.tn win the war through work in the
Kit hen than by any other thing she
Ean attempt. If she knows nothing
about cooking, it is time for her tC
learn. She will find a new pleasure in
life in providing herself and her fam
lily with dishes of a dainty and tempt
inr quality that few hired underlings
ever attain 1t will not be long before
size realizes that the home of wealth
is accustomed to waste more mater.
ials than it uses. That makes fooC
scarce for all of us and helps the en-,
emies of our country.
The women are responding so nobly
to this and other calls that such advice
seems almost needless. Hundreds o.
thousands of women in luxuriou:
homes have put on their aprons, roll
ed up their sleeves, and are baking
ara broiling. The scarcity of servant.

BOYS IN KHAKI.
Tune, My Maryland.

Dedicated to the boys of Maryland by
Killian Baker, of New York.
Boys of our homeland, brave and bold
In Europe's far-flung battle line
Gone to the Front where bombs ex-
plOde;
Where in the heavens ride fiery signs,
Mid lannon's thunder, hurtling shot;
Where strife is eager, hate is hot.
o Boys in khaki, don't forget
We love you yet, we love you yet.
Though fire be raining from the sky,
Though thrones be shaking, crowns
adrift,
At home we do our sacrifice
In public sight, with fingers swift,
For you we knit and knit and knit,
For you we knit and do our bit.
o Boys in khaki, etc.
Our starry banner flames the land
The same that DER your trenches
leans
In streets and highways bIare our
bands
You bet we scare the submarines?
The Stars and Stripes do constant
shine
On flying auto, churchly shrine.
o Boys in khaki, etc.
Meath foreign skies, in distant lands
Mid stranger nations, alien speech,
We think of you, our valiant bands,
And longing hands to you we reach
Our hearts know we'll, these passing
days,
There are no boys like the U. S. AS.
o Boys in khaki, etc.
No cross nor crowns Old Glory flies
Only high heavens eternal stars
To lead our armies high emprise
The loved, the true, triumphant stars.
In sunset skies her co1ors blaze
dawns, they greet our gaze.
O Boys in khaki, etc.

What Jack Lait Remembers at 35.

Jack Lait, the famous Chicago news
paperman, tells the readers of The
American Magazine in the August is
sue how it feels to be thirty-tiye. He
says:
why, | remember-and remember,
am young-when horse cars ran up
the principal avenues of New York
and Chicago; when telephones were
rare novelties, clumsy and experiment
tai things braced up on walls; when
an airship was a crazy mans proof
that he was crazy; when a submarine
was the dime-novel dreamer's delir
ium: when wireless telegraphy could
mt be; when appendicitis was acute
indigestion; when ladies wore bustles;
when safety bicycles had never been
built; when Ford was a machinist and
hadn't even begun to construct an au-
tOmobile-and no one else had, either
with any good hope of making the
thing run; when pneumatic tires were
undreamt Of; when a big part of the
west was lined off in territories
when Cuba was part of Spain; when
there were no moving pictures, no
moving stairWays and no moving cars
across the rivers; when there were no
when there were no
eight column headlines; when Russia
had a Gar; when Germany was a
peace-loving industrial country; when
graft was meaningless; when grape
fruit hadn't been conceived; when arc
lights were yet to come into general
use; when labor unions were new and
primitive, when men wore boards;
when New York won pennants; and
when eggs sold at twelve cents doz-
en-.
And | am only thirty-fve!"

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 3, 1917.
THE FARMERS DUTY.

I'm this time of war there is spec
ial duty laid upon every American cit
izen. Some have to bear arms and risk
their lives and safety on dangerous
seas and on the battle fronts in Eu-
rope. Others must care for those OF
them who are wounded and in per-
forming that duty risk their lives al
most equally with those who do the
actual fighting There are so many
brave Americans performing such du-
ties for their country that those of us
who remain at home in safety and Sc
curity must needs feel the obliga-
ton on US to do our part.
The farmers of America have an i'm
portant duty, vital national econom-
dc function imposed upon them. They
must provide food for our Armies,
food for our families at home and
food for our Allies abroad. The great
and vital importance Of this service
has been recognized and the farmers
of the country are directed to be CIV
en- and will receive special considera-
tions in the matter of exemption from
military service.
The service that the farmers of
America are to perform is in the high
est degree patriotic, but it is to be
profitable, too. Never before has the
American farmer had such a market
for his products or such tremendous
purchasers as he has now in the Gov
ernments of the United States and our
Allies. And the funds with which these
products are to be purchased are
practically all raised by the sale OF
Liberty Loan Bonds
The Presidents patriotic call to the
people OF America made July 18th will
find a ready response from the farm
ers of our country
mo true patriot will permit him
self to take toll of our soldiers hero
ism in money, or seek to grow rich by
the shedding Of their blood. He will
give as freely and with as unstinted
sacrifice ashley. They are giving their
lives. Will he not at least give his
money!" But buying a Liberty Loan
Bond is not making a gift. 1t is the
safest of investments, and consider
ing also its rate of interest and nom
taxable feature it is a remunerative
investment of the first order. Some
pronounce it the premier security of
the world.
The farmers of America are given
an easy way to serve their country,
show their patriotism, and greatly
benefit themselves. Money is needed
to feed, equip, arm, and clOthe our
soldiers at the front And money is
needed too, to buy the products OF
Americas farms for our Army and
Navy and the Armies and Eavies OF
our Allies. A great proportion of this
money has been raised and is to be
raised by the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds The farmer in supporting the
Liberty Loan serves his country, his
people. and himself. and he serves,
too, the cause of liberty, the cause Of
humanity and civilization.

WINTER MILK PRICE.
Carroll County Dairymen VIII Meet
in This City.

The Committees on milk prices for
fall were called to Baltimore on July
u. There it was decided that each
county should hold a big meeting so
that the men that you appointed on
this committee could tell you what
was decided upon at the Baltimore
meeting
On August II, at o'clock in the
High School building in this city, the
diarymen large and small, of Carroll
county will meet and at this meeting
the price of milk for the winter will
be decided upon. Every dairyman,
whether he is milking one cow or 30,
shipping milk to Baltimore, making
butter, or selling it to a creamery,
knows that when pasture goes this
fall the COW must go also if he does
not get a profit for his product. With
dairy feed about double in price and
with $S corn in October there is not
one dairyman in Carroll county who
can produce four per cent. milk for
less than 40 cents a gallon wholesale
this fall and winter.
Now, brother dairyman, we will
have the great pleasure of hearing
what President Harry, of the Mary
land Milk Producers Association has
for us, also l. w. Hepps and w. H.
Wheeler. Do not fail to be present on
this great afternoon, for your own
interest and to show our brother
dairymen of Hartford county that we
are wide awake.
Meeting promptly at ? o'clock.
