LUCY HELPS

Miss Lucy McGinty not only is mighty fine
young woman, but she is valuable citizen of these
United States of America. Since they've taken
to raising young women like Lucy in the sunfower
state people have stopped asking, Whats the
matter with Kansas"
When Lucy McGinty's father died he left a
widow three children and a mortgage on the
Kansas farm
As the boy wasn't old enough to step into
his dads shoes Lucy got into them.
Last year she put so acres into corn. AS she
did all her own blowing and cultivating it was a
regular mans sized job. The flies were so bad
during the summer months that Lucy did her
blowing at night having her sister and little
brother bring midnight lunch into the field. No
man farmer in Edwards county got better crop.
Lucy harvested 30 bushels to the acre, 1900
bushels. 'Z-
Then last fall Lucy got out the old pillow and
followed it up and down the wheat fields, sowing
120 acres in winter wheat.
She did the listing, disking and planting, too.
If the weather is kind-we hope it will be-
Lucy will grow enough food to keep hunger away
from whole regiment of our soldiers over in
France for several months.
And Lucy will reap nice fat bank account,
which is as it should be-
Much of this threatening man power short
age on American farms would disappear if there
were more like Lucy McGinty in rural America.
There are some, of course, but not nearly enough
Lucy herself says there are many girls in city
stores and shops who could do as well as she on
the farm. And Lucy cleared enough out of her
last years corn crop to buy couple of automo-

SOCIETY IN WAR TIME

In striving to make the world safe for de-
mocracy, America is becoming democratic her.
SELF AS our young men throw off civilian garb
and get under the khaki, they look pretty much
alike--very much like brothers. Fellows who
didn't live in the same end of town at home, and
didn't travel in the same set, are now pals in
the great democratic army. ..... 49, 81.
Back home their mothers are meeting for the
first time in the Red Cross, or War Mothers club.
The rich mother and the poor mother have some
thing to draw them together as sisters-in hope
and sympathy now; later, perhaps, in grief.
There is tendency toward simplicity and
democracy in dress. Many are proud to wear the
garb of the Red Cross-and that isn't silk for the
rich and cotton for the poor. III
The moment there was something worth while
to do rich girls of spirit and poor girls of spirit
seized the opportunity to do what they might
to help win the war.
Now, with the patriotic, democratic leaven
working among all women Of spirit, would not the
women themselves welcome new standard OF
aristocracy-an aristocracy of worth, not wealth
Would they not welcome change in the So
called society column that would chronicle only
the worthwhile doings Of the. women who are
doing what they may to help win the war?
The idler among women as we'll as among
men will be on the fringe Of society soon. The
wearing Of jewels and elaborate gowns will at
tract attention STILL but'a different kind Of atten
ton 1t will look awfuly out of place. The serv-
ice pin on a mother will mean more to the people
of America than the biggest diamond dad can
buy.
And when you see the service pin, do YOU
care whether it is on silk gown or cotton frock

THREE ROUSING CHEERS

And the cQlors pass, and you thrill and choke

And someone proposes three rousing cheers
and you give them--what do they rouse within

Do they stir up fighting spirit that churns

GETTING ON IN LIFE

Someone whose hair was growing
iron-gray said: Il am getting on IN
life" His friend, who knew him very
we'll had his doubts. He mistook
getting on in years for getting on in
life. He was morally and spiritually
just about where he had been 80
years before. Nobody gets on in
life except those that achieve spirit
ually. When boyhood's bad temper
persists into manhood, when one is
irritable, disobliging, selfish, naughty
proud, self-sufficient, immoral, god
less, one should not talk about get.
ting on in life, even il one is as rich
as Croesus. To get on In life Is to
rise in moral stature. 1t is to have a
soul big enough to love and admire
without envy, to be content with
treasures of the mind, to set charac
ter first of all. The man who is "rich
in faith" gets on. The others drift
down the years, or accumulate great
possessions, but in the essential
things, the things of eternity, they
are water-logged and stationary

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty

that the Government interest rate
Should be stabilized at Az per cent.

of interest of only one-fourth of /
per cent on $4,000, 100000 Of Govern
ment bonds would mean an annual in

charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased taxa.

Secretary McAdoo during the Third
Liberty Loan campaign, I'VE should
now make a stand for the financing
of our Government during the period
of this war at a stabilized rate of in.

annum, so that all business and all
investments may be adjusted to that
basis, and so that we ourselves may
protect ourselves against successive

port of the Liberty Loans are meas

ALLOTMENT AND
ALLOWANCE CHECKS

There has been change in the sys'
tenn of the Bureau Of War Risk In
surance Of the Treasury in the matter
of allotment and allowance checks.
This results in some of the checks
sent out by the bureau being for
smaller sums than heretofore, but the
amounts omitted from the checks
sent out by the bureau will be includ-
ed in checks sent out from other
sources.
The new system will simplify the
work of the bureau and is expected
to accelerate the payment of allot,
ments and allowances.
Prior to July last the War Risk
Insurance Bureau took compulsory
allotment of SIS a month and what
ever additional sum the enlisted man
chose to allot to his family, and the
whole amount, together with the
Government allowance for depend
ents was included In one check and
sent out by the bureau. Beginning
