 seems to have struck a more respOn- siVe chord in the hearts of the people than child welfare exhibit which has visited a number of French cities and towns. Reports reaching the War Council state that great crowds con- tinue to patrOnize the exhibit; more than 80,000 persons visited the educa- tional display in the few weeks it has been at<St. Etienne. In the three weeks the exhibit was in Lyons it was attended by 173, 155 persons. As the Red Cross considers the exhibit the most important part of it's campaign for the reduction of infant mortality these reports are most gratifying to the officials at national headquarters. The most noticeable result in places where the exhibition has been is the great increase in the dispensary att tendance Hundreds of mothers now know how sicllly children can be made well and how healthy children can be kept in that condition. The people who make up the attendance at the exhibit come from all classes. In Lyons the Municipal Council attended in a body. One thousand school "hildren who visited the show wrote compositions on what they saw in @ competition for prizes given by the led Cross.

RL OF A WIFE
Why Lillian Insisted That MT Gordon Shouldn't Accompany Them to
 the Door.
"Slow pOison!" Lillian

"Slow poisonn' Lillian and 1 eX- claimed together, mortified.
 My father shivered slightly.
 Yes, and of all the deaths to die, I think that is the most agonizing," he said fThe fiendS responsible for his condition hadn't been able to secure his cipher formula, he had hidden it too securely, and when 1 found him he managed to slip the tiny parcel containing it to me unObserved.
 "He whispered to me that the for rnula was complete with the eXcep- ton of one group of figures, which he had purposeIy omitted so as to make the things useless if the enemy spies surrounding it did get hold of 1t. He summoned his strength to tell me the missing figures, but had only uttered two of them when he fell back in an awful paroxysm, and never spoke again."
 ssThen. is the whole invention use less ?" I queried when I could get my breath for horror of the tale he was telling.
 "No," my father returned shortly, and I saw that he didn't like to be inter1J1pted. As soon as Blank"-he named the second inventor in the country-''returns from France, where he has been for six months, he will be asked to take the formula and see if he can supply the missing links. Personally I am confident that he can, but in the meantime I don't want the thing lying around.
 q lost no time in sending the scientists paper on to yOu,' my father went on, 'and in destroying my own copy of the cipher. It was seV- eral days before the idea that l might have it seeped into their chuck!e heads, and by that time the letter was beyond their reach. And l have aI- ready told you how they tried to make me give it up. I shall bear the marks of some of their attempts to the day of my death.

original we could make a decoy paper to look as much like the original as possible, hide it in an obvious place, and with it's theft nab some at least of the devils who are so hot upon it's trail?"
 My father started-looked at her searchingIy. I think at first he imagined this was simply another at tack upon Kato's honesty. But his worldly wisdom came to the rescue in another instant, and l saw his face light up with appreciation.
 Watch Carefully"
 ''Thats just the thing!" he said heartily. You go ahead and arrange the details and I'll prepare the decoy copy. If you can only catch that Draper girl right it will be all I'll ask"
 'I intend to nab her with my own fair hands, Lillian returned grimly and my father gloWed with approval
 Do you know we have completely forgotten Mother Graham?" I ex- claimed in real contritiOn. Shell imagine we have been boiled in oil or experienced some other horrible fate, and nothing can prevent her calling the police and spelling everything lt she gets too excited"
 We must fly at once then" said Lillian melOdramatically. Then, as my father rose from his chair, 'Please, MT. Gordon, don't think of escorting us to the door. We are both perfectly familiar with the house, it was our friend, Mrs Durkee's, you know, and we'll say farewell to Dr. Petit as we go out"
 Her insistence had it's effect, espec- jaly as my father was evidently weak, glad of the rest his easy chair afforded. But there was something about her manner that made me wonder if there were not something besides solicitude for my fathers health which made her so anxious to traverse the hall alone.
 As the door closed behind us she proved my theory a true one. She looked up and down the hall and peered into a room opening from it on the opposite side to make sure she was unObserved. Then she opened her hand, which she had held closed ever since she came back into the room, and disclosed a door key.

East Jordan Celebrates Ger
many'S Submission to Allies.

News that Germany had waved the
white flag and asked for the terms OF
armistice OF. Gen. Foch reached East
Jordan about noon, Thursday.
h4Erom then until late at night our citi-
Is celebrated with joy and much
noise. Whistles on all our factories
were blown intermittently until night,
while the bells of our churches rang
out the glad tidings.
Work at mills and factories ceased,
stores were closed, and procession
formed headed by our city schools
which included nearly all our citizens.
After marching from the Carnege
Library on Main-st., to the town hall on
State-st., and back again an impromptu
program was given in front of the
library.
John Porter as member of the County
War Board acted as Chairman. "Amer-
lea" was sung by the crowd. REQ
Bockes delivered Lincoln's Gettysburg
address. The High School Glee Club
favored with couple of wartime
songs. Rev. FIR. Mcneil and Rev. R. S.
Sidebotham gave patriotic talks. Atty
j. M. Harris, of Boyne City who was in
our city, gave short address. Atty
D. l.. Wilson favored with short talk
and the program closed with singing
our national anthem.
A bonfire was suggested and willing
hands got busy collecting material. BY
dark mammoth pile OF old boxes and
other material was collected on the
corner of Second and Williams streets
This was literally sprinkled with oil
and at seven o'clock our firemen took
charge and burned it, together with an
elfigy of Kaiser Bill. A feature of the
Snings entertainment" was the
Nndred-and-one noise producing arti
CSes brought into play. It's an easy
guess that ninety per cent of our citi
zens helped to celebrate, and, in the
evening, farmers from miles around
drove to town.

DON'T SELL YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS
To Hold Them Is Patriotic;
To Keep Them Is Wise.

Next to the imperative duty of Ameri-
can citizens to support the Liberty loan
is their duty to hold their Liberty
bonds. 1t is not full service to the
country to purchase Liberty bonds and
then throw them upon the market,
thus putting upon others the real bur-
den of financing the war. Unless the
necessity for disposing of them is very
great, every owner of Liberty bond
should hold fast to it.
Holding onto ones bonds means that
one has not only lent SO much money
to his Government but also that he is
not spending that money for goods,
labor, and transportation needed by
the Nation in the prosecution of the
war, and is thus leaving the resources
of the country more freely at the dis
posal of the Government as we'll as CIV
ing it financial backing. This is dou-
BILE service.
Secretary Baker says that the wide
distribution of the Liberty bonds
amongst the mass of the American peo-
pie makes our Liberty loans the sound
est national financing in history. 1t is
good thing for every Liberty bond
holder to be a creditor of his or her
Government, and it is good thing for
the Nation for its obligations to be
widely scattered amongst its citizens
and not congested into the hands of the
rich. 1t is most hopeful thing for the
United States that the best investment
in the world, the Liberty bonds, are
very widely distributed amongst mil
lions of its citizens.
Judging the future by the past, our
Government bonds issued during this
war are going to rise greatly in value
with peace. In 1888, per cent United
States bonds sold in the open market
as high as sl30, and in 1901 brought
over $139-that is, $139 and some cents
for 500 bond. That the Liberty
bonds are going to rise well above par
in value is something that the most con-
servative will admit is we'll within the
| bounds Of possibility.
The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS, the
birds of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty bonds, and are going
to use every effort to secure them from
the hands OF those owners of them
who are uninformed or who are igno-
rant of stock and investment values.
The favorite method will probably be
offering stock of wildcat companies or
other speculative ventures. Specula-
| tive is really too conservative a word
to apply to some of these stocks, since
to say that they have speculative
value is flattering in the extreme;
they have no value at all, except in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS people, who
trade them for money or Liberty bonds
to ignorant investors.
Some of the get-rich-quick schemers
propose not to trade their gold-brick
stock for Liberty bonds but to lend
their clients money to buy their stock,
taking Liberty bonds as security. This
is camouflage-only thinly disguised
method of securing Liberty bonds for
worthless or worthless stock.
Every holder of Liberty bond be-
fore he disposes of it, and especially
before he trades it for stocks or other
bonds, should consult bank. Much
money will be thereby saved to the
owners Of Liberty bonds and the fl
nances of the American people be bet
ter conserved.
