MOTHER PROTECTED BY NATION, SAILOR
 SMILES AT DEATH

A Pennsylvania mother who has a son in the Navy has written Secretary McAdoo as follows:
 "I will state that 1 urged my only son-a mere lad-to enlist in the Navy in 1914. I felt that this war was coming and wanted him to be trained. Only God knows what it cost me to let him go, as had just buried my idolized husband and was just recovering from typhoid fever my self. Hospital bills, etc., had taken nearly all had, but knew God would take care of my little girls and my self. I have given my brave. hand some boy to Uncle Sam, and my only regrets is that have not six to send instead of one, to fight for the flag that my father fought four years to save.
 Not Afraid of Death
 Although do not know just how much insurance I will get, or allow ance. know it will help. In one let ter my boy wrote thus:
 Mother, am not afraid to go into battle or to face a gun. If 1 have to give up my young life for my country 1 will do it gladly, but can not sleep nights thinking what will become of my sweet little sisters and you Later he wrote: Today 1 am the hap piest boy on the Atlantic, for the in- surance bill has passed, and I am talk ing the full amount. Now I can face with smile, knowing my loved ones will be cared for
 God grant he may return. May God and his angels forever bless you is a mothers daily prayer"
 Secretary McAdoo's Reply.
 This is the Secretary's reply:
 Owing to the extreme pressure of public business I have not been able to acknowledge sooner your letter thanking the Government for it's war insurance.
 Not your boy alone, but you and your two daughters as well have joined the colors in the battle to save de- It is ingenuine gratitude, therefore, that our great Nation pro- vides the liberal and farsighted bene- fits of the military and naval insurance

 In the event men essential to the fishing industry have been called to the colors they may be furloughed and available for the fishing industry dur ing the season of 1918.

LOANING MONEY ON CHARACTER


There is article in the July Farm ana fresloe'
in which the writer says:
"When President Wilson, in a proclamation issued
April l 1917 called on the farmers of the nation to
omit step that will increase production OF ther
and it occurred to group OF New YORK business me"
that many farmers in that State would be unaole 70
respond to the call because of lack of capital Seed
and fertilizers high priced labor was not only
high but scarce The season was unusually cold and
backward, which would neces&tate rapid work in
planting when the weather became favorable
"To furnish the money with which farmers conlc
buy seed fertilizers machinery and labor these husl
ness men organized the Patriotic Farmers Fund, which
is in its second year. The object OF the fund was
aid the small farmer and renter who had no regular
banking connections and to furnish him money on
character loan basis. The larger farmer could obtain
all the credit he desired but there thousands of
honest hard working who could offer nothing n
the way of security that would be accepted to the
banks A little cash at the right time would he
godsend to such man.
"The directors of the fund began by appointing
local loan committees in various communities through
out the State Each committee consisted of three men,
usually two farmers and banker or business man
citizen who commanded respect and of
sound judgment.
During the spring and early summer, $284,842 68
was lent The average amount of the individual loans
was surprisingly small. One farmer borrowed as lit
tie $6O in order to buy two bushels OF seed po-
tatoes.
"The number of planted with money loaned
from the fund was 34,367. OF this acreage, 5,362
acres were to oats, 5,514 to corn 1858 to po-
tatoes 6156 beans 5,882 to buckwheat, and 1924
to miscellaneous garden produce. Out of the 1884,
S426s loaned, $15,61025 was expended for fertilizer
and $2O74825 for labor. The rest used for seed
to prepare ground, and to harvesting expenses
"The reports show that these loans made possible
the production $3500oO0 worth of crops 1t furnish
ed the little aid required to supplement the farmers
own capital and efforts and to work out his efforts to
a successful conclusion"

FAMILY OFTEN ENOUGH SECURITY

There is a story by William Dudley Peley in the
July American Magazine in which man who wants to
make loan goes to the big of the small town and
asks him for the money He gets the loan but when he
mentions security the big man says:
"'Securty? OF course you've got security Don't
talk like fool! How about the wife and the children
Don't know that man of your stamp is tied down
by those children and the love of them? Don't know
that my investment would be better than thousand
margins of assets liabilities, because in working
and sacrificing for those children you are protecting
my investment? Don't know that such man will
never away and abandon his enterprise? Don't
know he wants to those boys grow up into better
men than their father before them that he wants
his girls to to college and marry good boys
the life of our state and nation? And there's his
wife. A man with the kind of wife who'll go to
wealthy man to get credit for her husband will never
work against him so long that mans man! She
won't be extravagant and live beyond his income, be-
cause he understands and is helping. America is filled
with millions of that kind of women and may God
bless 'em The trouble with these small town bankers
is that they look entirely to the financial risk They
forget that sometimes the moral risk beats the financial
risk hundred times. And it looks as if man in your
circumstances, of your character and department.,
could be rated AAA1 I'll look you up to-morrow--if
can find the time.'"

SOLDIER INSURANCE

Secretary McAdoo has called upon all local draft
boards acquaint drafted with the provisions of
the solderinsurance law and to urge every drafted
man to take this insurance. The boards have been
furnished with literature to aid them in this educa
tional work.
The law affording insurance to fighting forces
has we'll been called the most just and humane pro-
vision ever made by nton for it's soldiers and sail
ors The Government and the American people recog
nze the justice of afordng this protection the
who risk their lives for their country and to their
families and dependents at home It is only just to
themselves and their families and dependents that
our fighting avail themselves of this opportunity.
Every American enlisting should take out this in
surance and carry with him into danger the hearten
ing knowledge that whatever happens, himself and
his dependents protected by his Government.

ORTABLE vacuum cleaners were first
put on The market about ten years ago,
h,,t - ;e orl,, within, tbo lact faxv voore

EN0RTABLE vacuum cleaners were first
put on the market about ten years ago.
but it is only within the last few years
that they have been so perfected in construc-
ton and design as to be really efficient dust
eliminators and entirely satisfactory labor saw
ing devices.
Now, however, they are so thoroughly estab-
lished in the affections of the wise housewife
that the home which does not possess either an
electrical or hand operated vacuum cleaner is
becoming rare as the Great AUX.
II you are within reach of electricity, it is
far and away the bost-provided you can af-
ford ito choose an electrical cleaner rather
than the kind that is operated by hand. Not
only is it more efficient but it does the work
much quicker and requires nothing like the
labor that it takes to run the hand machine.
Because Of their comparatively low price and
also because it is much easier to operate them,
the small fan cleaners are the most popular
with housewives.
The type most generally used consists Of
motor, either horizontally or vertically
mounted, with the fan attached directly to the
shaft. The whole is inclosed mounted upon
rollers rubber tired Wheels and guided by
handle from which the dust bag is sus-
pended.
luCSc SHldll 1lNCNlDtS are not only operated
back and forth over the floor, like a carpet
sweeper, but should be used in the same man
ner-that is, the carpets and rugs should be
cleaned with them daily-or at least every
other day-to prevent The accumulation of dirt.
The electricity consumption of the motor is
smal-only 100 to l75 watts.
To the housewife-uness she has n natural
leaning toward nechanics--al small electric
suction cleaners look alike. For these reasons
1t may help some woman to a wise choice if we
mention the principal points to take into con-
sderation when selecting cleaner
There arc four chief points to be considered:
Efficiency, which means effectiveness or power;
quality of materials, which makes for durabil-
ity; special features, which give convenience
in operation; general construction and SIM
plicity.
The efficiency Of a cleaner cannot be Judged
from the horsepower of the motor The sue
ton power depends upon the size and speed of
the motor, the size and shape of the fan blades
the fan housing. the floor nozzle, and whether
or not these factors properly co0rdinated
The motor is either horizontally or vertically
mounted. The horizontal type is mechanically
stronger than the other because the shaft is

If any vegetable, sucn as carrots, cell
