HELP THE GOVERNMENT

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds who wish to help the Government to the fullest extent should keep the bonds which they have purchased, and when they buy additional bonds do SO from the Government during loan offerings rather than in the open market as the money paid for bonds purchased in the market does not go to the Government but simply to previous holders. On the other hand, those who must real ize upon their investment can always do so at the market price.

How Many ShinuIesT

To figure the number of shingles a house will require proceed as follows : Measure the length of the roof to be covered. Measure the distance from one cave over the peak to the other cave. These dimensions necessarily are in feet. Multiply the dimensions together. Divide by 100. The quOtlent will be the number of thousand shin- gles required. To determine the num- Der of bundles, multiply this number by fOur.-FOrm Life.

"You don't expect me to be kissing you out here beTore all the neighbOrs, do you?" she demanded.
 Makes no difference to me where 1t happens" he said shutting off his engine and vaulting out over the door.
 1t was the most uncOmmOnplace mo- ment of the most uncOmmOnplace hour that the commonplace Marcus Barnes had ever known, as he marched the somewhat surprised Miss Bradley up the steps and into the hall
 She could see that she was in for it. but then, what did 1t matter? She would extend him one of those little impersOnal and indefinite kisses which she reserved for very young or very old and feeble male relatives. But she hadn't counted on the common place Mir. Barnes. The first thing she knew she found that she fitted into his arms as snugly and tightly as if she were made to be there. She shut her eyes and waited. but he only held her little closer. She fiirted open her eyes a wee bit to investigate the cause. of the delay and flushed to find that he was studying her upturned face with strange and puzzled wonder ment.
 "I never noticed before how lovely you are, Nell" he murmured, and then he collected his fare slowly and delND- erately, not once. but seven separate times. which wasn't s0 bad for the commonplace Marcus Barnes.
 Everyday during the following week Nell Bradley expected to hear from the efficient fare collector, but it seemed that Marcus Barnes had had his mo- ment and then Shyly SubSided. Ten days, a whole third of the allotted time passed and still there was no word. Miss Bradley was getting panicky. for her time was getting short so with d prim determination about the set of her chin, and Il suggestion of color un- der the smooth skin of her curved cheek, she decided to consult the as Sistant cashier of the First National bank about some securities she held.
 The commonplace Mir. Barnes arose from his desk and looked just once into the eyes of Nell Bradley-and then believing in prepa redneSS, he dis missed his stenOgrapher
 The gallant Miss Bradley had begun to get cold feet. "It's-a-abOut those securities of mine Mark" she started feebly.
 securities nothing" said Marcus, the commonplace, reaching for the girl financier. "SOuth-bOund cars, pay as you enter!" And he had already rung up three fares when the austere voice of the banks president came testify from the doorway.
 For heavens sake! Why don't you two young people get married-and do your kissing at hOme?"
 "Shall we?' demanded Marcus Barnes of the girl in his arms.
 Let's" agreed Nell Bradley with 8 vague excitement in her humping heart
 And the banks president chuckled the news via the telephone into the amused ear of his old friend and crOny, Nell's Uncle. George Bradley.
 "Let this be lesson to you, George! {! Never gamble with wOmen-they have such winning ways-ha-ha! :"
 Great stuff, eh?" said the cynical MT. Bradley. Couldn't have lost bet in a better cause now, could I? Youth, and love and marriage-fine business 7"
 Meanwhile the commonplace Marcus Barnes, dragging Nell Bradley about with a commonplace marriage license in his pocket. was hunting common place preacher to perform common place ceremony. st
