Now and then canned goods were bought, and foY the empty cans pNenty of uses were found. For in- stance, tomato plants were started in them. standing in tho sunny kitchen window long before the garden was clear of snow they were convenient for holding paint when small Job had to be done, and the small boys treasured them for holding their bait for those adventurous and ever-to-be remembered fishing excursions of early summer.

BARRIERS WILL BUY BONDS
Union Secretary Asks Them to Share Good Fortune With Gov
 ernment,

Union barbers in St. Louis, who re- gently have been benefited by an in. crease in their wage scale, are being asked by F. A. Heller. secretary of Local No. 102, Journeyman Barbers' International Union of America, to share their good fortune with their country.
 Heller is advising the more than 600 members of the local craft to in- vest some of their earnings in Liberty Bonds. Haircuts are now costing 35 cents.
 Under the new scale barbers are getting a guarantee of $16 week and to cents on every dollar over SPA week that barber takes in. The boss barbers, or shop proprieto-s, have inaugurated a higher charge on slaves and haircuts to meet the in creased bay of the men at the chairs
 "There can be no better investment than Liberty Bond" said Heller. 'I would like to see our men, who are l'ow getting a share of the prosperity which the war has brought to some fields of industry. help our govern. ment in turn. So l am telling them to divert some of their earnings to Liberty Bonds."

WHY FARMERS MUST BUY
Besides Being Patriotic, Their Invest. ment Provides Nation With
 Shipping Facilities.

Some farmers may not understand just what is the significance of ship brilding to them. They fail to see how they are to be benefited when the money they lend the government by purchasing Liberty Bonds is spent for ships that sail the seas they never have seen.
 Ships today are carrying our farm products to Europe. If there are no ships the farmers goods never would reach the market. If German U-boa:s were dynamiting freight cars instead of ships the farmers crops would not even reach the Chicago and Kansas City markets. We must have ships to get our produce to market. Bonds will help build them.

WHAT WE CAN DO
Prominent Kentucky Educator Points
 Out Duty of American.
By FRANK l.. McVEY,

President University of Kentucky.
 There are a number of things that we can do in this war. Some of us can do all of them. Any of us can do part of them. These things are: s l. To enlist.
 ?. To go in the draft.
 3. To work for the government.
 4. To buy bonds.
 5. To save food materials and money by buying bonds.
 Unless there are materials and food the men who enlist, who go in the draft, or who work for the government cannot be maintained. The means by which the government gets food and materials and pays wages is through the sale of bonds. This is the key, and when the government has the funds it can go on with the war. If it does not have them it's efforts must cease. The duty of the patriotic citi. zen is apparent.
