Any mother who has had the regu-
lation music lessons can play simple
songs and can learn TO guide her chill
dren into singing life.
Teach the children to listen to
birds and to remember their calls.
There is a book of bird-calls by Olds
which is very good. Its title is "Twen-
ty-five Bird Songs for Children" and
it is published by G. Schirmer, New
York. for SIPS.
Sing, Come and be washed" in
stead of saying it. Here is a little
tune spontaneously sung by child
of six: Something ever, ever, sings"
The little child was right, but the
trouble is, most of us do not listen.
Ask your question in song, mother,
and soon you will be answered by Il
cheerful singing reply.
Baby, where are you?" sung on
simple ascending scale will soon
bring a musical reply from a hidden
child of II am hiding here"
Play softly, sing gently and listen.
Teach to Follow Tune.
During the day take some familiar
tune and swing the rhythm with the
arms. Let the children step 1t, find
ing out where the slow and quick steps
come. Afterward, have them draw
lines on the blackboard to show this
duration. thus: -. E. E. -. :.
Let them find in which direction the
tune goes, up or down, and make pic
lures of it either denoting the direc-
ton with sweep of the hands or
drawing a sweeping line on the black
board.
Singing, swinging, stepping and max.
ing pitch and duration pictures, the
children live in music as fish in water
or birds in the air.
If there are quarrels and tears, play
something pretty and think the word
Harmony. See how this Gains the at
mOsphere. The mother speak of
controlled her children almost entire
ly through the power of constructive
thought and music. They easily yield
ed to the word Peace sung gently
over and over.
Mothers, If they only knew ii, have
the making of new world of love in
their keeping, and music is torch to
light them on the way.
To Il mother who does not know
any music, l say, If you can, get some
one TO come for an hour every day
to sing with your children ut twilight.
See to il that the words of the songs
are constructive and beautiful and
learn to sing little yourself. Every
one can sing a little.
Join the community chorus and If
there isn't one, start one.
"a singing army is winning army"
A singing family is a spiritually grow
ing family and music the link that
brings heaven TO earth.

Pianos by airplane is the latest use
to which these wonderful machines
are being put. One of the new large
allied bombing planes, in order to dem
onstrate its carrying capacity, brought
from London TO Paris a full-sized up

Paris safely. The airplane is capable
of carrying six persons and much
bombing explosives. When this weight
is measured in pounds, however, it is
not readily comprehended, and it was

REALITY FOR RUTH
BY MRS. MARGARET STEEL HARD.

One morning few months ago
Fas passing the playroom, my small
daughters domain, and stopped to
glance in, but finding her absent l did
not llnger. However, an impression of
the room did linger, and it finally grew
TO sufficient proportions to demand my
conscious thought.
What was there about the charming,
sunny room with its Mother Goose
frieze and carefully chosen toys that
vaguely troubled me? 1t was too or
derby. That was it, orderly in the
sense of being unused.
l paused and reflected how little
time Ruth really spent in the play
room; she was always somewhere else.
Where was she, in fact, at that partic-
ular moment? Brief search discov-
cred her vigorously sweeping the back
porch where some drifting leaves had
collected.
"Why is III" l said to myself as l
poured the boiling water into the dish
pan and swashed the soap-shaker up
and down overwhelmingly. "Why is
it that she prefers sweeping the back
porch to playing with her dolls house?
Why does she hang about the kitchen
watching me cook instead of using that
fascinating dolls stove Of hers?"

Before l knew II l had brought my
small cutting table, low enough for
Ruth to reach, placed it beside the
sink, covered it with a heavy towel
and put the drain basket thereupon.
Then calling to her l pointed to the
dishtowels hanging in a crisply folded
row and said: Would you like to wipe
the dishes for me after this?"

made public today.
ION them rested the responsibility
| for maintaining and increasing food
production and for assisting in secur-
ing fuller conservation of food and
feed stuffs. The part the millions of
men, women, boys and girls on the
farms played during the war is strik-
ing. but altogether too little known
and appreciated" the secretary says.
Despite shortage of labor, due in
large part to thousands of the youth
of the farms serving in the great war,
American farmers broke all records
in acreage planted, he says.
In 1917 there were 2S3 100000 acres
planted as compared with 261 900, 900
the previous year, and a yearly aver
age of 24S.000000 for the five years
prior to 1914. the first year Of the war.
With a still further shortage of la
Dor, 1918 showed an even better rec
ord, with 29S.OOO,OOO acres planted in
standard crops.
Climatic conditions for the two great
staple crOps-cOrn and wheat-were
bad in many sections of the country
during the war period but nOtwith-
standing this. the aggregate yield eX-
ceeded any previous year in the ma
tons history, with the single eXcep-
ton of 1915. the report shows.
Wheat production for 1918 totaled
91S, $4,000 bushels, greatly in excess
of each of the two previous years and
the second highest record.
The estimated total yield of the
leading cereals for 1917 was 5,796,000,
600 bushels and for 1918, about $685.
100000 bushels.
Not only in the raising of wheat and
corn, did the farmers of America put
other records in the shade. Wars de-
mands greatly increased necessity for
meat products, eggs and milk. Here
again, the farmer measured up to his
responsibilities, Houston says.
In 1918, over $500, 900 900 pounds of
beef were produced as compared with
SOS, 10000 in 1914; 1O,50O,O00,0O0
pounds of pork, with but S,769, 700, 900,
in 1914 and 495,OOO,OOO pounds of NUT
ton, making a total of 1895, 100000
pounds. while but 1857, 100000 were
produced in 1914.

BEGIN RETIRING LIBERTY BONDS
$50 Million Dollars Worth Bought

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Retire-

today in the annual report of the
Treasury Department for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1918.
A total of S250,OOO, 900 of the first,
second and third bond issues had
been bought back by the Treasury on
November l. This does not represent
quite per cent of each issue which
under the Liberty Loan act the Treas
ury is permitted to buy back each
year.
1t was indicated that after this
year the full per cent of each issue
would be retired
This will eliminate the piling up OF
a great sinking fund, reduce the in
terest payments annually and permit
of retirement Of all bonds on their
maturity data, twenty years hence.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that in

gate $685.. 100000. The grand total Of
expenditures for the year is estimated
at s27.71S.12S.0OO. which is approx
mately s7.OOO,OOOOOO more than the
estimated total receipts. The recent
Treasury announcement of a fifth war
loan therefore was accepted to mean
that the next loan subscribed for early
in April. 1919. would be for $4,000
100000. This belief was based on cal

savings campaign as a peace time
measure of thrift. He estimates that
the 1919 series of saving stamps
should bring into the Government
more than s1,25O,000,OO or 35 per
cent more than during the last year.
Discovery and development OF a
process for producing glycerine syn
thetically by fermentation of sugar is
disclosed by the report. This discOv-
cry was made by chamists attached
to the bureau of internal revenue and
afforded the assurance that during the
latter part of the war there would not
be shortage of glycerine supply for
munitions manufacture.
The financial transformation from
peace to war was accomplished, Nc
AdOo declares. without shock or
financial disturbance of any kind. The
credit and business structure of the
Nation remains sound and strong. In
this connection the report points out
that:
II must not be regarded that entire
amounts expended during 1917 and
1918 have been permanently absorbed.
A large part represents productive in
vestment 1t will require several
months to give an accurate estimate
of capital outlays, slavage and expen-
ditures Of a permanent character dur
ing the war.
As to future expenditures, the re-
port says there is no hint of immedi-
ate diminutiOn in the cash out-go from
the Treasury. The prediction is made
that the present high monthly dis
bursements are likely to continue I'M
til the middle of 1919 at least.
One of the factors which tend to
make uncertain the treasury require
ments for the next year. the report
outlines, is the possible demand for
loans by our European associates in
the war.
