HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

To buy and hold Liberty bonds is Just
as much a patriotic duty for those OF US
here behind the lines as it is patriotic
duty for cur soldiers to take and hold an
enemy trench. There are occasions,
though, when it is good military strategy
to give up trench temporarily, when
the cost of holding it far out-Weighs the
results of doing so. In the case of the
soldier his officer must determine the de-
cision; in that of the individual Liberty
bondholder, he must Judge for himself.
1t is conceivable that circumstances will
arise in occasional instances, where Sc
we're illness comes into a family and
makes an unusual and unexpected drain
on the monthly income, where the sale OF
a bond or two cannot be avoided, but
that is quite different matter from using
ones bonds to purchase things that may
be desirable, but not absolutely necessary
to the family welfare. Even where
money must be raised quickly it were
much better to borrow on the bonds than
to sell them at discount, for this war
will end one of these days, and when 1t
does Liberty bonds will 60 above par.
Whatever you do, don't be talked into
exchanging your Liberty bonds for fraud
ulent or questionable bonds or stock lii
some get-rich- quick scheme. At the
present time enormous frauds are being
perpetrated upon an unsuspecting and in
experienced public. 1t is estimated that
at least $500, 900, 600 of worthless secur-
ties have been exchanged for Liberty
bonds during the past IL months. Some
fnanciers place the figure very much
higher. Before we went into the war,
the total number of bondholders in this
country was estimated at $500 To-
day there are not less than 1900, 600
bondholders, of whom 90 per cent never
before owned bond of any kind. Their
inexperience thus makes them an easy
prey for INSCRIPTIONS statesmen, who,
unable to sell their bad stocks and bonds
for cash, hold out glittering offers through
an exchange. By offering the Liberty
bonds thus obtained at discount, they
quickly convert them into cash.
Therefore, unless one is experienced
even then it will do no harm-before
trading good Liberty bonds for any other
security, 60 to any responsible banker,
who will gladly and without any charge
or obligation tell you the truth regarding
what you are being offered.-H. H. Wind
sor in the November Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

THE FLAG.

1t flies today on the Seven Seas. In
two continents, and on islands of the Pa
cific and the Caribbean. American SOL
diers carry it reverently.
In battle it shines over men who are
paying debt we have owed to France
since time when the Flag itself existed
only in spirit. Our airmen bear it above
the Italian Alps.
Dumb, it speaks all languages. 1t tells
civilized Europe more in an instant than
all the orators could say in a year.
A crude, inartistic combination of bold
colors, it is the most beautiful thing in
the world.
Its stars change in numbers but its
meaning is as changeless as the blue of a
cloudless noon.
If all statutes vanished and all states
men died, the Flag would still show the
way.
A thousand years hence, when men
read Of the Great War wi h the same dis
tant curiosity that they today offer
toward the Rome of Gipbon, the Flag
will be as it is now.
1t is not the banner of the sword, or
ambition, or empire, but of mankind's
undying desire for universal liberty.

view to securing consideration of
Names unoccupied farm lands in the
governments plan of reclamation for sol
diers after the close of the war.
The league has been in correspondence
with members of the Maine delegation in
Congress in regard to the matter, and has
received from that source much encour-
agement. Recently Senator Hale wrote
that he had been in conference with Sec
rotary Lane of the department of the in
terror, and quoted that official as being
favorably inclined toward Maine as con-
tanning the kind of land the government
can reclaim for the soldiers.
Senator Fernald wrote: Il will be glad
to bring this matter to the attention of
the proper committee, and will endeavor
to aid in every way possible in furthering
the cause"
Governor Milliken and John A. Rob-
erts, State commissioner of agriculture,
have promised to do what they can to
urge Names claim to recognition as an
ideal field for government service in SOL
diers' homestead development.
Maine contains many thousands of
acres of lands that simply need to be till
ed to become Immediately productive,

favorably compare with the waste lands
in the south and west which will require
diking or irrigation to make them fit for
tillng.

A VETERANS ADVICE.

"And suppose, daddy" asked the son

''Then, my son, speak about the divini-

"Then, my son." smiled the father.

OUR COLORED TROOPS.

Had it occurred to you, the universal
LOYALTY of our colored citizens? Have
YOU ever met colored man in this coun-
trv who was a pro-German? Do you
even know anyone who thinks he has
actually seen one2 ! have personally
made this inquiry in the South, in New
England, on the Pacific coast, and here at
home in the central West, and have ar
rived at the firm conviction There ain. I
no such animal" as pro-German Amerl-
can colored man.
When the big war started and Bernstortt
let loose his long and carefully prepared
plans of arson, bombs, strikes. and gen.
! eral confusion IN this country, one OF the
most dastardly schemes on which his
boss depended was an uprising of the nine
million colored people in the South. The
effort was well organized, bountlfully
supplied with money, was operated with
; great secrecy, and at first was carried on
outside the larger southern cities. All
sorts of impossible rewards were promised;
the blacks were to own and rule the
South; every sort of poison lie was used
to tempt the colored people into revolt
against the whites. 1t was expected and
hoped this revolution would keep this
country busy for the duration of the war.
Of all this, people in the North heard very
little.
To the everlasting credit of the colored
people they refused to be led into the trap,
and like the proposed revolution IN India
and Egypt and some other countries, the
plot miserably failed.
At last we entered the war What
then of the colored man? When volun-
tary enlistment was offered, he responded
promptly and in large numbers. During
the Civil War, it was no infrequent part
of a northern generals report of battle
that "the colored troops fought bravely:"
The reports which are reaching us of the
colored troops in France include more
than "fought bravely"-they fight mag
niticently.
A letter from an officer describing such
a regiment going cover the top is a
picture worth painting. Bareheaded,
shirts unbuttoned or no shirts at all, with
the most unearthly yells, as demons let
loose, they went at the enemy like cage
of wild animals released. These boys
from the cotton and cane fields like best
to fight with the bayonet, which Fritz
enjoys least of all, but in hand-to- hand
combat they fall back on their trusty
razor or knife, in the use OF which they
are more than proficient. The stanchest
Hun is said to quail and run before one OF
these dusky giants bent on carving map
of Florida on a fat German face, or
delta of the Mississippi on his throat.
Yes, the colored troops are still eight
ing bravely. III. H. Windsor, In the
November Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Fuel Advice.

Those of us who have used coal to heat
our houses are somewhat disturbed by
the shortage of anthracite coal. And to
have only 2-3 of our usual supply seems
to picture discomfort. To those who
cannot get wood soft cool is the best
hard coal substitute. Directions foI
burning soft coal in household heaters
and ranges can be had by addressing the
Conservation Bureau of the Fuel Admin
istration, Portland.
To those who have or can get good dry
wood, it is the better substitute for hard
coal in that it is easily managed, is
Clearly, and its use frees the over-taxed
railroads from long distance transporta-
ton.
The writer has no difficulty in NAM
tanning a comfortable night as well as
day Temperature in his steam heated
house with dry hard wood as the fuel.
The secret of using wood in furnace
be it hot air, hot water or steam-ls the
nroper regulation of the drafts. 1t is Tar
easier to learn to burn wood under boil
er than it is to learn to burn hard or soft
coal. To burn wood the crate must be
covered with a layer of ashes, or with
metal, or something that checks the
draft. One cannot hold wood fire with
too free draft. This is true whether
the fire be under boiler, in cook stove
or in a fire place. There must not be
direct and free access Of air.
When quick response is wanted put
on only small amount of wood and open
the drafts. AS soon as the amount OF
heat needed is obtained, close the drafts
and put on fuel. In cold weather fill the
fire pot full of carefully packed wood.
In milder weather pack the wood equally
carefully but use less in the fire pot:
Have the wood cut to proper length to ut
the fire pot and use well seasoned dry
wood. The better woods, such as rock,
maple, beech and yellow-birch, are equa!
per cord to ton of coal. If you 90 mol
ret that heat value from them, the fault
is yours.-Chas. D. Woods. Charm an
