WOMEN TO The FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the Lines Is Being Prose.
cuted on Tremendous Scale
Every Woman Can Help
Do Something.
(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening

(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening
Post.)
The day seems to have passed when
woman's education consisted of piano
lessons and little polite French.
Now she studies biology, Psychology,
and all the other ologies. In this
great and radical change in the posi-
ton of woman it will not do to over
look the change in her relation to
money matters. 1t Is no longer un-
womanly to know. something about
money. Feminine charm is not di-
minished by knowing the difference
between a bond and share Of stock.
Millions of women earn their living
today. Hundreds Of thousands have
Independent means and must decide
for themselves i'm affairs financial.
and sisters not only spend the house
hold money, but are consulted by the
men when an investment is to be
made. 1t matters not whether the
investment consists of victrola, an
automobile, or n bond. 1t is said men
do not take their wives into their con-
fidence when they gamble or take a
flyer, but 1t is also said that deception
in these matters does not pay.
So there is every material reason
why women should do their part and
more In floating the Liberty bonds.
Indeed n woman recognizes a gold
dollar Just as quick as man. and
when It pays good interest in addition
she is not going to turn 1t down. But
there is more than purely busi-
ness and selfish side to the women Of
this country They have surprised
even themselves with their executive
ability and powers Of business organ
ization. The Red Cross and every
other variety Of relief work has been
I'm its detail largely thu result OF
woman's effort.
Behind the lines women are prose-
cutting the war on tremendous scale.
There are millions of men as well as
women who cannot fight In the
trenches, who cannot even drive mo-
tortrucks or work In munition fac
tories. There are some people who can
not even successfully raise vegetable
garden. but there is not an adult man
or woman outside the poOrhouse and
the hospital who cannot either buy or
help to sell Liberty bond. 1t Is the
least they can do.

Contrariness.

Speaking of the kaiser's contrary
or arbitrary attitude i'm this peace
talk" says well-known legislator,
'reminds me of the Kansas farm
er who was elected to the state
legislature few years ago. The farm
er was called to the chair during Il
session to act as speaker pro TEN. A
motion was made to lay a certain res
olution on the table. The speaker put
the motion like this:
"'All those who want the resolution
to lay on the table say aye! All those
who want to be contrary say nor"

Don't Buy Too Big a Bond.

Here Is word of advice for the
farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite Off
more than you can chew. Your gov
ernment doesn't want you to STRAP"
yourself or run into financial difficult
ties trying to pay for a bond. Buy one
small enough so you will be able to
pay for 1t In the allotted time without
having to borrow money to meet the
obligation. It's value will represent
your savings for that period of time.
IL your circumstances won't permit OF
you purchasing $1,000 bond. buy on
Iy n $500 one. Don't compucate our
already complicated financial problem
by assuming debt you can't pay.

How to Live CheapIy.

There is at least one family in Eng
land which can snap its fingers mt Lord
to be found in food queues. The head
Of the family recently wrote to Lon
don newspaper that himself, wife and
family of four have lived for IA weeks
wholly on raw vegetable salads made
of grated turnips, carrots, parsnips,
beets, cabbages, etc, together with
fruit salads, toast and porridge, and
says they are all much stronger and
healthier as a result. They use neither
tea nor coffee and grow their own vege-
tables, and so may be regarded as the
most Independent family in England

Partnership With Government.
Evidently the factory considered 1t
"good argument" And then the
wops, with their despised salaries, had
subscribed; everyone was thinking
about that. The hands began to go
up, and line of applicants was
quickly formed.
The tall young man (whose mother
was an American) had stood, hesitat-
ing. until he saw Old Bailey's gray
head bend over the signature bench /;
and then, smiling, he slipped In be-
hind him, muttering, IF he can, l
can"
Now the machines were humming
again and argument began once more.
The thin man by the window was
the first to speak. "Well," he COM
mented, "we've got to do something
for the boys"
"When / get this paid, maybe they'll
have per cent bond" said 10. the
financier.
America and Italy; we gotta make
kill ALA de kings-alIa no good !" nod
ded one Of the contributors from the
second room, with approval.
1t was the same everyday hum OF
the machines, but the factory was diff
ferent. 1t was no longer Il critical,
skeptical spectator of the struggle OF
civilization, bitterly suspicious OF It's
own government 1t and the govern
ment were now partners. The war no

The bond salesman, perhaps. added
up the result of his work with some
satisfaction; but by far the greater
and most important part of 1t he
knows nothing about.
