kind OF surprised the way We were
treated in BueROs Aires. as there are
about 60.0o0 Germans there. as you
may already know. A large percentage
OF the Argentine population are Ger
mans: at least they were at that time.
The Argentine army has many Ter

are essentially the same as those or
the Germans. I also had my first

GLOBE SIGHTS

Often the best thing to say is moth
ing at all.
There are lot of deserters who
never belonged to an army.
Getting fired is sometimes the best
thing that can happen to a man.
Being agreeable means agreeing
with people utterly regardless of your
own opinions.
The mere fact that she can't think
of anything to say won't prevent a
woman from talking ,
Occasionally look yourself over, and
see if you are as reasonable as you
expect other people to be.
The boy who bites his finger nails
probably will get over that and learn
some more bad habits later.
What has become of the o1d-fash-
toned boy who wanted to go bare
footed on the first warm day?
A man is told secret, and is adj
monished to keep it under his hat.
and FIVE minutes later he turns his
hat over.

REGRETS u. s. SNUB
Costa Rica Peeved Because America
Doesn't Like President.

San Jose, Costa Rica, May s.-The
Costa Rican congress by a vote of %
to has voted confidence in the gov
eminent of President Federico A.
Tinoco, and at the same time passed
a resolution expressing regret at the
attitude OF the American government
toward Costa Rica. The resolution
declares that congress is surprised at
the contradiction between the demo-
cratic aims of the United States in
the war and its attitude toward a
small republic.
The Tinco government in Costa
Rica came into power in January,
1917, after the deposition of Presi-
don't Gonzales. In the following
month 1t was stated in Washington
that the United States would not
recognize the government and there
has been no change in the American
attitude, despite Costa Rica's efforts
to gain recognition. A special envoy
sent to Washington was not received
last July In September Costa Rica
severed diplomatic relations with Ger
many.

Do you think we should have night
calls from boys? If so. how many
nights a week?
THREE OF US.
girl should be II or Is years old
before she has callers in the evening.
And, when she is old enough to have
callers she should not overdo it, No
girl should have more than three en-
gagements with boys in one week.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: If a boy
gets mad at a girl, how is-the best
way to win his love again? They were
deeply in love before the quarrel.
ANXIOUS
After a girl has lost a boy she
should meet the situation gamely and
not try to win him back. Her efforts
would be useless and she might Just
as well give up the idea in the first
place and be happy with some one
else.

A VICTORY IN FINANCE.

The third liberty loan campaign has
ended with results that must be high
ly gratifying to the government and
to the financial interests of the coun-
try. 1t was noted all thru the drive
that the banks and other big financial
concerns of the country were not sub
scribing heavily to the loan, as they
did to those floated earlier in the war.
They believed that it was unnecessary
and they were right. They stood
ready to put the thing over. if called
upon to come to the aid of the people.
No such necessity has arisen.
The loan was heavily oversubscribed
and the number of subscribers reached
nearly 100000, or considerably
more than one-tenth of our total pop
ulation. The best feature of the loan
was not the oversubscription. but its
extraordinarily wide distribution
among the public.
The whole result. says Henry Clews
in his Financial Review, is decidedly
stimulating. 1t proves that our peo-
pie are aroused to the gravity of the
war. that they are ready freely to give
IL lheii uiofdi anu .iiidHCidi support,
and that the country has unbounded
financial resources for pushing the
struggle to a successful conclusion 1t
is also stimulating to the men who go
to the front; and German military
leaders must be dull indeed if they
fail to recognize that America has
come into the war with the determine
ton of preserving freedom and de-
stroying militarism-

JOHN r. MULVANE.

The death of John r. Mulvane Gre
ates void in Topeka business and
social circles that cannot soon be
large part of the population. by repu-
tation to all and in a direct business
way to thousands. He had been iden-
titled first or last with almost every
public or large business enterprise in
the upbuilding of the city.
For many years, in order to start a
new enterprise on the road to sue
support of John r. Mulvane. His
name inspired confidence in the minds
of those who knew his reputation as a
level headed business man and one
who dealt on the square.
Mr. Mulvane was an excellent judge
OF human nature and he rarely made
a mistake in his estimate of men.
When he became convinced in his
own mind that a man was square he
would back him to the limit.
There are many in Topeka who are
indebted to him for assistance in time
of need whose only surety was the
faith which they had inspired in the
now dead banker.
In comforting a favor he never
sought to impress the applicant with
a sense of obligation. He was a man
of quick decision and acted promptly
on impulses based on knowledge faith
and confidence.
Struggling enterprises and young
men in whose future he believed
could count on him, and many are the
big present day industries and insti-
tutions which he nursed. encouraged
and promoted to see fully mature, ma
terialize and realize his fondest hopes
Harsh things have been said about
him at times, as they always are about
successful men, but probably no citi-
zen of Topeka, when he shall have
passed away, will be remembered
kindly by a larger number. He was a
good friend.

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO KNOW

Meeting our quotas of liberty loan
and Red Cross subscriptions has i'm
oosed no serious hardship or depriva-
ton upon the community yet, altho II
may do so in the future. 1t is well
to be prepared for these calls, which
are certain to come in more or less
rapid succession. Whatever pinch we
may feel in the future will be trifling
an comparison with what hundreds of
thousands of our countrymen are go
ing thru in the trenches and dugouts
along the fighting front. The war
may call for real sacrifices by those
Remaining at home. before it ends
and 1t is we'll to be prepared to make
HEM cheerfully. If that time come.
there will be no escape. We are in
this war to see it thru. We could not
turn back if we would and certainly
no true American would want to do so.
THE cheerfulness and patriotism with
which the people have met every call
made upon them make it certain that
they will continue to present an un-
broken front, here at home. just as do
the allies in France and Belgium.
