HISTORY.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish-Am-
erican war, 2 per cent bonds We're of
fered at par and over-subscribed. This
is a financial performance no other ma
ton has ever equalled.
United States 4 per cent bonds in
1888 sold as high as 100 and in 1901
brought 1895 on the stock market.
The United States has never default
ed on any of its bonds. Not IL of
its bondholders has ever lost a cent of
principal or interest except those who
voluntarily have taken losses by selling
their bonds in Il period of temporary
price depression. one hundred cents
on the dollar, principal and interest,
has the United States always paid.
Back of the $3.50, 600, OOO,O 900 to $780,
000,000,O0O of our national resources
stands the rugged honesty of America.
Liberty Loan bonds are the safest Sc
curity in the world.

E. S. Drury,, formerly postmaster at
Encampment and now the editor of the
Wheatland Times, has achieved much
undesirable notoriety of late through
his connection with what is known as
the Wheatland affair" a loud-odored,
many-sided scandal which has attract
ed the attention of the entire state to
the fractional fights of the Platte coun-
ty capital, and which may yet bring
serious consequences to some of the
participants through their obstruction
of and interference with the machinery
of the selective service draft in that
county. 1t is minated in some quar-
tiers that Il grand jury will likely be
called soon to investigate some of the
mysteries of what appears to have been
more or less of n conspiracy.

1T CAN'T
BE DONE /!

OF all the pests 1 hate the one who
loudly walls, 1T can't be done No
matter what we try to do, he says the
plan will not 90 through, and shakes
his head in doubt and fear. He never
has "A word of cheer, but walls from
morn to setting sun, at can't be done
it can't be done"
When boosters try to help the town,
and bring success and fair enown, or
try to start some enterprise, 1T can't
be done" he loudly cries, and then goes
up and down the street and every block
he doth repeat his battle cry to every
one, 1T can't be done-it can't be
done"
And so he goes his doleful way, and
sings his pessimistic lay. The things
that are the city's pride he tried t o
queer, dod-rot his hide! improvements
that you see about, he tried to block,
the pesky lout! In smiles and cheer he
sees nc fun, this gink who says 1T
can't be done"
No grateful city lauds his name he's

AT FORT SILL.

Lieut.. Roddy Devlin has been
sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for two
months special training and he
writes as follows to the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian:
"The schools run continuously.
They teach everything from flying
to trench digging. The aviation
school is about a mile from US and
we can see 8 or 10 ships flying at
any time of the day. They r as
common as birds and look like huge
hawks.
Uncle Sam is doing things on a
large scale out here. Camp Complain
is here, a N. A. camp like Camp
Jackson, so there are thousands Of
soldiers here. I don't know how
many officers attend the schools, as
I arrived only yesterday.
This is a wonderful country.
Thousands of oil wells and millions
of cattle, not to mention the pic
turesque blanketed Indians riding
about in their six or eight cylinder
cars. Many of them own oil lands
which they lease to oil companies for
fabulous sums, and some of them
are millionaires."

THE PRICE OF
SHAMEFUL PEACE

More than a billion dollars of
American agricultural exports were
sold to the European nations at war
with Germany during 1917. Had
this Nation maintained peace at the
price of obedience to the German
war zone decree, this European mar
ket would have been closed and this
billion dollars worth of agricultural
products would, most of them, have
rotted on farms and in warehouses
or been used in improbable ways
with consequent stagnation and ruin
to the American farmers.
Interest as we'll as duty urges
the American farmer to give inan-
cial support to his Government in
this war.
