New England People Are Not Stupid

New England People ARE MOI StuPlo!
In a story by Mary Heaton Worse
in the Woman's Home Companion,
the writer says:
"I have known many people to be
irritated by this quality Of some New
England communities. to argue that
it meant hard-heartedness, pride.
stupidity. But to me this quality Is
touching, for I know that these New
Englanders who live ava their calm,
upright lives on sleepy, elm-covered
commons, in the very town where,
all unknown to them, a slum is max
ing and who are so sincerely panied
and surprised when the labor diff
ficulties that are forever sizzling and
stewing in plain view at last boil
over, are not stupid. They are Nv
ing in a past and beautiful tradition.
They went to sleep, who knows how
long ago, and they dream that the
world never changed since the day
when their fathers wrested unlimited
opportunity from a conquered wild
.erness. Perhaps in that fierce strug-
gle with wilderness and their gnaw-
ing ~consciences they spent the first
vigor of their strength

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
LOVING A CHILD

ELL
Loving a child is key
To Heavens mystery.
Loving a child, and giving
II knowledge, this is living.
Loving a child brings pain,
And is lifes greatest gain.
Loving a child is .knowing 4
The fierce joy of a sowing
That shall cause mighty reaping.
Loving a child is weeping,
And fearing, too, and praying:
This. there is no gainsaying.
Loving a child is being
A part of God, and seeing
The world beneath ones hand 4
Enlarge, expand,
Be different, and grow
To ones thought. Even so.
Loving a child is key
To every mystery.
Loving a child is laughter
And heartache after.
-Heartache and grief and pain
But always joy again.

You can convince yourself here that
we, just as in Germany, with head
erect and without fear or arrogance,
are waging defensive war, rejecting
all responsibility for the prolongation
thereof which was criminally and
quite uselessly forced upon us by the
enemy. u.s..

to be expected that either party should
renounce the possibility of military

as it's purpose the consideration of all
things which are keeping the belliger-

SOLDIER AND SAILOR
INSURANCE.

The business of insuring our sold
iers and sailors is scarcely year old,
and yet we have written more than
$3O,OOO,OOO,OOO of insurance, insuring
approximately three and half mil
lion of soldiers and sailors. This gil
gantic business, employing 10000 in
dividuals and doing a greater bust
ness than the largest insurance COM
pany of the world, has all been organ
lied in less than IL months. Of late
the bureau has been doing more than
a billion dollar a week business; the
total for the month of August will
approximate $5,OOO,OO0,000 in new in
surance. On one day 92,253 pieces of
mail came to the bureau.
1t is a great work, an intricate work
a work that every American approves
of. More than 80 per cent of the men,
bers of our military and naval forces
are insured, and this insurance has
strengthened the morale of our fight
ing men and brought comfort and
courage to their dependents at home.
In addition to the insurance there are
added soldier and sailor family allot-
ments and Government allowances to
dependents, the disbursement of allot-
ments and allowances already totaling
more than $40, 100000.

PREPARING NEW DEFENSES
Germans Rushing Completion of Four
49, Strong Lines. E. Tr f.

Paris, Sept. 11.-There are three
German lines of defense behind the
Hindenburg line, the first closely
paralleling 1t and the others providing
for retreats along wide fronts, &C.
cording to an outline of the German
defense system printed by the Matin.
The first line in the rear OF the Hin
denburg position, according to the pa
per, starts from south of Lille and
parallels the Hindenburg line at an
average of from three to six miles.
The second comprises line running
from Lille to Metz, the intermediary
points on which the newspaper does
not indicate. This line would be about
100 miles long.
Finally, the newspaper adds, there
is a fourth line, on which the Ger.
mans are now vigorously working. 1t
runs from Valenciennes, 20 miles east
of Douai, in southeasterly direction
to Givet, on the Meuse at the Belgian
border. The front thus indicated ex.
tends for about 60 miles.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY
RONDS.

The effort to separate Liberty Bond
holders not familiar with stock and
bond values from their Liberty Bonds
has taken a new turn. The manlpula-
tors instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer In eX-
change for them the stocks and bonds
of various wildcat corporations, whose
face value is large but whose actual
value is little or nothing.
The safest investment in the world
is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic
American, Liberty Bonds are the best
investment in the world. 1t is not
only a wise thing to hold them it is a
patriotic thing to do. The soldier that
takes a trench and then voluntarily
gives it up is not to be compared with
one who takes a trench and holds it
against the enemy. An American who
buys a Liberty Bond and then sells it
is not so good an American as one who
buys a bond and holds it. This does
not apply, however, to one who sells
his bond because of real necessity;
there is legitimate trading in Liberty
Bonds which the Treasury recognizes.
1t was a wise and patriotic old col
ored American who refused to sell his
500 Liberty Bond for 500, because he
would not give up the United States
promise (his bond) tot pay him 500
with interest for the United States
promise Currency to pay him $96,
and who refused to sell the same bond
for $1O2, because, he said, that the
S1O2 must be counterfeit or else the
would-be purchaser would not be will
ing to give it for only 500. tt is safe
to say that there are no gold bricks or
wildcat securities among that Amerl-
cans assets.

that the amount will be SIX billion
dollars. This Is twice the amount
asked by the Government tor the

that there will have to oe an IN

ers. For the people of the Ninth lis

to do their full duty, but make 1t

a large extent for the fine record
made. The natural energy and clear

the balance. Whatever the cause, the

ties in charge at Washington admit
that the men and women Of the North
west will do what is asked Of them
in their own way, out will do it prompt
ly and efficiently.
From all this, it is evident chat a
great deal will be expected from the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The
standard set is so high that it will
take extra effort to maintain it. That
means that all those who worked hard
during the Third campaign will nave
to work harder during the Fourth cam
