NO TIME FOR SPECULATION

The stock market within the past three
months has seen very considerable adj
vance. The greatly improved military
position has helped it. When the German
front in France began to crumble, and
Germany's allies to weaken, then the
spectators began to take notice. They
looked around over the stock market, and
saw sound securities selling for prices
below their value. Theysbegan to pick up
bargains and the result of this buying
movement has been the advance referred
to.
Now this moderate rise has had some
uses. 1t tends to make business men
more cheerful and helps them look to the
future with confidence It probably put
ovef the Liberty loan. Some men were
able to get rid Of stocks without loss and
put the money into government bonds.
But it will not be in accordance with
government policy for any big advance
movement to be promoted now. Such a
movement always depends largely on
borrowed capital. If this capital is tied
up in the hands Of spectators who are
buying for rise, it will not be available
to help put over the next Liberty loan.
All financial operations for the next
six months should be planned with re-
spect to the way they will affect the bond
issue due for next March or April. Peo-
pleought not to be allowed to have funds
for speculation. If they have idle money
'iting investment, let them put it out
on short term securities that can be ex-
changed for the next Liberty bonds.
1t is likely that all conservative finan-
ciers share this feeling People who try
to speculate now on the assumption that
large and general rise is going to he
promoted, are very likely to run up
against the sound business sense Of the
country and thus find themselves gclled
once more. ~

OPPOSED TO FENCES

The members of the American Civic
Association have been asked to start q
campaign all over the country, to prevent
the erection Of back yard board fences.
The following complaints are made
about the old fashioned board fence:
1t is fire risk and often tends to
spread fires.
It is disease risk, providing place
where many people dump matter that
serves as breeding place for insects.
It prevents circulation Of air, thus in
creasing heat in summer.
It disfigures residence district. Back
yard fences are not usually kept well
ID.
the contrary it is held that wire
on fences and hedges expose filth
licity and therefore promote neat
hey make a town look like an open
pa; and stimulate competition in rails
/ wer gardens and attractive lawns.
They throw down social barriers, lead
people to get better acquainted, and thus
work comparatively for community ends.
The open back yards stimulate competi-
ton in beauty.
The old time back yard fence has Who'll
~ disappeared in many places. 1t is an
expensive proposition on present costs Of
lumber and labor
People who want to have their boun-
diaries marked find hedges serve that
purpose admirably. They turn lot from
hard and unattractive bit Of real estate
into nest Of beauty. If hedges are well
selected, of some variety Of plant not
subject to winter killing, they will mark
the boundary line for many years. They
save the cost Of painting, and the only
bother is the annual job Of clipping them.
The children of the family or of your
neighbors, will do it for small price, if
the householder is too occupied.

HOW TO ADVANCE CHRISTMAS
TRADE

The government not merely asks the
people to limit their Christmas purchas-
es to strictly useful goods, but to make
their purchases very early this year. It
considers the ordinary rush of the holt
day season to be harmful activity in
time of war. It wants to keep the work
of conducting stores and operating ex-
press companies and the post office,
down to a normal basis during that per-
iod.
If people continue to do their Christ
mas buying at the usual time it will not
be possible to deliver presents through
the post office and express companies UNI
til long after the holiday. There is not
help enough to be had to do the usual
Christmas work unless it is strung out
over long period.
There Is just one way, to start this
trade and get it going now. And that il
for the stores to feature useful Christ
mas gifts in their advertising.
An indolent editor, who hated work,
once told his reporter not to put anything
about politics. He thought that political
excitement was largely stirred up by the
newspapers. If they refrained from put
ting political news in the paper, he
thought there would not be much politi-
cal interest, and they would have less
work to do. While that was very poor
journalism and poor patriotism too, the
mans judgment was largely right as To
where political interest comes from.
So it will be in Christmas trade. If
the people are left to themselves on this
matter, they will begin buying about the
usual time, and there will be the usual
rush and scrimmage If the merchants

WINNING THE Wharf.-The DIPLO-
matte GAME

Up to now the war has been fought
with the soldiers and material weapons.
Seeing defeat in the field approaching,
Germany is now trying the weapons of
her subtle and crafty diplomacy, through
the power and shame and lies.
Germany wants to talk. She wants
the allies to talk. She believes that the
allies have divergent interests and opin-
ions on many points, and that in free
countries where free press exists, it is
very easy for divisions to start. If she
can get US all to talking peace terms at
the council table, she believes that we and
our allies will get to quarreling among
ourselves, SO that we will quit fighting.
Then Germany will beable to save q good
part OF her stolen goods out of the wreck
Of her original plans.
Wherefore our government has done
well to refer ar1nistice terms to the mill
tary advisers. We must take their adj
vice. We have made great and qrievous
sacrifices, and we do not wish them to
prove fruitless. We must impose terms
severe enough so that GERMANY viii no
longer be able to make war. Her stolen
territory must be returned Her usurp-
ing soldiers must be brought home. The
damage she has done must be repaired BY
her. Some Of the border fortresses with
which she menaces the peace Of the
world must be surrendered.
Some people seem to think TINT the
German people are better than their rul-
ers and that there will be no more trou-
ole II Germany becomes democracy. Yet
the German people applauded their rul-
ers as long as they were winning battles.
They rejoiced over their ruthless acts to
neutral countries. The rank and file Of
the soldies pereptrated the grossest bar
barities. It will not be safe to place too
much reliance on changes Of government
hat exist largely On paper.
