SEEING IT THRU.

That the liberty loans have been a
success is due to the newspapers, to
the business men of the country, to
the banks. the banking houses, and to
the associations OF advertising men
thruout the land.
There has been no government
money available to cover the expenses
OF selling campaigns. It has been
thought in Washington that funds for
this purpose were unnecessary. Ex-
perienced business men and bankers,
however, knew from the start the ne
cessity of wide publicity and advertis-
ing and the necessity of personal and
persistent solicitation.
The fact that there were no funds
available for the purpose has made no
difference. The thing had to be done,
and was done, and the three liberty
loans have been a success; made so
by the enthusiastic, whole-hearted,
unselfish patriotism of the men who
knew how to do it.
1t is TO these men that the credit
of successfully floating the liberty
loans belongs
Within a short time we will be
asked to subscribe to a fourth war
loan bigger than any OF the others. It
is just as necessary that this should be
success as 1t was in the other cases.
But the bonds will not sell themselves
1t will require the most strenuous.
persistent, cooperative work on the
part of the same class of men who
Re
fore these new billions can be sub
scribed
NO estimate has ever been made of
the value of the work donated by
these agents in the past. It would be
impossible to make such an estimate
Measured on the basis of compensa-
ton for work of similar character,
the sum might easily reach into the
millions of dollars. ADD to this the
been handled profitably while so en-
gagged, and the sum total would be
greatly increased.
The government can afford to pay a
fair and equitable compensation, says
American Industries, to the men who
devote their trained energies to the
task of making its war loans possible.
Ability to do these things is the capi-
tai. the stock in trade of these men
and these institutions. Have we
reached that desperate stage where it
is necessary that the government
commander the services of these
trained experts? This may be putting
it strongly, but the failure of the gov
/ eminent to provide compensation for
such service amounts to "comman-
deering" for they are going to see IL
thru anyway; they are going to see
that every war loan is a success, pay
or no pay; their patriotism will see to
this.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am mar
ried to husband No. 2. He was very
good to me when I first married him.
Now we have a child and he loves the
child dearly, but he does not care for
me. 1 do all 1 can for him. 1 love to
do things that l think will make him
happy, but when he comes home from
his work and show him what 1 have
done and ask him IL he likes it he will
not answer me. Sometimes he tells
me not to act SO crazy and to go away
and let him alone. He never kisses
me or shows me any love and what
makes it so bad he never takes me any
place. I go out sometimes but 1 AL
ways have to go alone and that is a
lonesome life. Sometimes 1 almost
give up the thought of being true to
him, but again I think l must for
baby's sake. -
I got a letter from my first hus-
band asking me to leave this one and
come back to him. as he heard 1 was
not happy with this husband. I know
1 could be happy with my first hus-
band. 1 was very young when I mar
ried him and l thought 1 must have
my own way in everything, but 1 know
differently now. He would be good to
me If I went back to him. What shall
1 do? XIX.
Most men are thoughtless about
showing appreciation. They enjoy
to take them for granted and not be
eternally praising. You make a mis-
take in asking your husband for his
opinion. If you know you have done
something well, be satisfied with your
achievement and do not seek your hus-
bands appreciation. Perhaps if you
think about it you will find you do
not compliment him any more than he
does you. Show your appreciation
anyway. because it pays to tell hus-
bands how clever and skillful they are.
Do not think of going back to your
first husband Your child will mean
more to you than either of the men.
Make your home as cheerful as pos
sible for the child's sake and learn
to be happy without the love of your
husband. Many women have had to
learn the same lesson and they have
succeeded.
Entertain your husbands friends
in your home il he would like to have
you. 1t will draw you closer together
and in time he may suggest taking you
places. Do not try to make him go
where he does not want to.

LAUDER FOR PARLIAMENT.

Harry Lauder, Scottish comedian,
minstrel and patriot, announces that
he will be a candidate for election to
the British parliament at the next
general election. And his purpose is
plain when he adds that he will run
against Ramsay Mcdonald or Philip
Snowden. both belonging to what is
known as the British Socialist-Labor
"pacifist" group.
All who have heard Lauder speak
on the war know the intensity with
which he opposes those who favor
any end to the struggle short of a
Knockout victory by the allies and
America. Having lost his only son
on the west front. he has entered upon
the work of arousing and sustaining
the spirit of the allied peoples with this
one end in view-that civilian pres
sure be prevented from demanding
premature peace. In America, in
Australia. in France and in Great
Britain he has used his stage work
as a means to gather hundreds of
thousands of people together for the
purpose of swaying their hearts and
their sympathies by his undoubted
great powers as a preacher.
We doubt. says the Detroit Free
Press, If any single man has been so
effective in this respect as has Harry
Lauder. His words have sunk deeper
than have the words of any other
man or woman who, coming from
the front. has tried to make us one
with the boys over there. They have
moved thousands of people to undis-
guised, unashamed tears where scores
of others, using almost the same
words. have failed to excite more than
interest.
Why has this been so? What is
the basis of Harry LADDERS appeal?
1t is, very largely. the obvious inten-
sity and deadly sincerity of the man,
coupled. no doubt, with the common
knowledge of his bereavement. But
it is also the consummate artistry of
the man, able not only to feel the in
justices of the war to the very bot
tom OF his heart. but as well to lay
the latter bare to his audiences with
out any touch of maudiinism or un-
nanliness.

behind a lilac bush, murdered mes
senger who was bringing the pay rob
from the bank, and tried to escape
with the money. The open way IN
which the crime was committed and
the conspicuous> automobile made II
easy to arrest the criminal. and also
made it reasonably certain that he was
a defective. The psychopathic labora-
tory Hooked up the mans record. 1t
was learned that he had served a sem
tence in the United States penitentiary
at Fort Leavenworth. Some letters
written by him while there were OBJ
tanned. These letters proved conclu-
sively to the scientists that he was g.
case of dementia praecox of the vio-
lent sort. His heredity confirmed this
diagnosis Thus a penal institution
owned and operated by the United
States government. thru sheer igaor-
ance, had turned loose upon the COM
munity a man who was literally bound
to murder.
Instances like these are more con-
vincing to the layman than any
amount of exposition of psychiatrical
principles, and they are making Chi:
cago a disciple of scientific method in
handling crime. This method is
making it's way slowly but surely. The
founding of the psychopathic labora-
tory was the first step The establish
ment of separate courts. such as the
boys court, the morals court and do
mestic relations court, which special
ize in certain classes of crime, was the
second.
The great need now is for a colony
where the criminal defective, once
identified, can be given a permanent
home under the care of The state, and
enabled to live without menace to nfe
and property.

This has been a busy year for the
people of Kansas. They have been
bending every energy to producing
crops and other essentials to a sue
cessful prosecution of the war. They
are now invited to take a week off
and attend the great Free Fair, to be
held in Topeka next month. A period
of rest and one of pleasure and profit
is offered them. Farmers and those
engaged in other lines of endeavor can
not afford to miss 1t. 1t is the sum-
mer school of the agriculturist, the
stockman and the artisan. In no 9TH
er way can so much valuable informa-
ton be gathered at SO slight an ex-
pense and loss of time. The exhi-
bition which the Topeka Free Fair as
ISOLATION will offer promises to be one
rarely if ever excelled in the state.
The past record of the associatin af-
fords a guaranty of what may be ex-
'pected this year. Nothing will be left
undone to make this years fair enter
tanning, instructive and profitable to
e visitor. The gates will stand open
and Topeka's latch string will be
hanging out.
