Heart of Home Revealed.

The windows of our homes are eloquent these
days.
Our human eyes we call the windows of the
soul" revealing to the world the light darkness Of
the heart within. And today the windows of
houses have changed from common frames of wood
and glass 10 soul-windows which reveal the heart
of the home behind the panes.
Whether walk down stately city avenues,
or pass before the white-fenced cottages in quiet
village streets the house windows call out their
messages to Once, with their discreet curtains
they hid from the world all the sweet secrets Of
the life within-but now-hear them whisper-or
shout their greeting to the human brothers passing
by. This window gives single solemn, triumphant
cry-"We have in France!" says its service
flag. This windows flag-voice says proudly-"We
have boy in training camp" And the house next
door has a window which declares-"We have no
son to give, but see!-we honor the flag, and we
have sent daughter to the Red Cross" The
window of the cottage on the announces that
father has a war-garden, and that mother would
scorn to waste scrap of wheat or fat sugar.
And the window of Tommy Browns house says,
MY little boy has bought three savings stamps
with his own money"
The window in the factory-hands cottage says,
81 can help-Pve bought liberty bond" The big
plate glass window at the bankers house whispers,
Through me little war-bride watches for those
letters from France"
Sometimes the windows join in a perfect chorus
We've sent a son to war; we save money; we
conserve food; we've planted war-garden; we've
bought bond; belong to the Red Cross; we
buy thrift stamps; we've helped the Y. NJ. c. A.
and we pledge lives, fortunes, and our
sacred honor to this flag"
And sometimes from the window of a very
quiet house there comes voice that is neither
shout nor whisper-but rather a note of deep and
solemn music-a window whose gold-starred flag
speaks out-"My son has paid the last full measure
of dtvotion"

DON'T LIKE KELLEY
Local Labor Leaders Say Employment
Director Is Unfair to Unions.

The appointment of J. VIII Kelley,
former secretary of the Topeka Cham
Der of Commerce. to the position of
director of the federal employment
bureau for Kansas has aroused the ire
of the local labor organizations.
In fact, the Kelley appointment has
SO incensed the central labor body of
Topeka that it has called a special
mass meeting of all union men and
women at the auditorium Sunday aft
ernoon to voice a loud protest.
The Topeka Industrial council
charges that Kelley is unfair to union
labor The council further charges
that Kelley has fought union labor at
every turn OF the road and hence is
unable to meet the exigencies arising
in the conduct of the federal labor If
flee with fairness and justice.
It has been announced that union
members only will be admitted to the
auditorium Sunday afternoon to attend
the mass meeting protest against Kel-
ley's appointment This action -
taken because in addition to the pro-
test the unions are expected to resolve
themselves into a committee of CEN
sorship and recommendation on the
political aspirants for city offices
In a statement issued this morning
Kelley denied that he il in the least
antagonistic towards union or any
other kind OF labor In a report Of A
statement issued WEDNESDAY night
Kelley is quoted as laying the Diane
for the Industrial council action on q
local Democratic politician.

MT. McAdoo believes Americans must loan the government between now and June 30. 1918.
 For the next fiscal year, ending June 30. 1919, the Secretary estimated receipts at S5.l76,000.0Oo. and dis bursements at sl2.so4os444O. exclu- sive of allied loans This makes q B. 627 .000. 900 excess of disbursements. If the present rate of loans to allies is continued in the 1slS-l9 fiscal year, SC, ,oe0, 100000 additional would be re- quired. Estimated interest on bond Is to be issued that year Is $3S5,000,00o, and estimated expense of floating the bond Issue s9s,ooO.0oo.
 Thus If the deficit is to be met by bonds, sl4.04O.O0O.o 900 worth must be floated between July l, 1918 and June 30. 1919. in addition to receipts from war savings.
 While these figures represent the situation as 1t appears today" the Secretary says, fit should be borne in mind that the exigencies of the fu- ture may cause changes. particularly with regard to the estimates for the War and Navy Departments" The es- inmates on which the Secretary bases his figures are made by the various government departments.
 The outstanding fact apparent from these stupendous figures Is that the cost of the war to the American peo- pie. including allied loans for tho two years ending June 90, 1919. will be at least $36. 900 900 900.
 To tho ST cat task facing the country Secretary McAdoo calls tho people with these words:
 What Is of superative importance in the readjustment that must take place Is that our people shall be lm- pressed with the necessity of econo- mixing in the consumption of articles Of clothing food and fuel. and of every other thing which constitutes q drain upon the valuable supplies, materials, and resources of the country Every thing wasted now is little short of criminal

1 tion and to the world The great fi-
 nunciu operations of the government
 cannot be carried forward successfully unless the people of the United States
 cconomize in every possible direction,
 1aTe their money and land 1t to the government"
 i Mr. McAduo expressed the hope that additional funds to be raised during
 the balance of the year be by bond issues rather than by taxation saying: Ut is my earnest conviction that the general economy of the country
 should be permitted to Eeadjust itself to the new revenue laws before con- sidcration should be given to the im- position of additional tax burdens"
 Of the possibility that interest rates
 on future Liberty Bonds issues might be raised the Secretary said: If the situation should develop where the government could not sell convertible and partly tax exempt bonds upon per cent basin. 1t would l believe. become necessary to seriously consider further revenue legislation. In my judgment an n- crease in the rate of interest of such bonds would hc extremely unwise and hurtful."
 Secretary McAdoo disclosed that he intends to recommend to Congress later in the session constructive and regulatory laws to prevent capital from going Into public or private en- terpriscs unnecessary for the war.
 Tt may also be necessary" he add ed, ito concert some constructive
 measures through which essential credits may be provided for those tn- dustrics and enterprises In tho coun-
 try essential to the efficient and suc-
 cessful conduct of the war. The sub
 ject requires the best thought and
 study. It ls receiving tho most earn

 The courage and resources of the nation are so abundant that Americas $ , success in the war is beyond question if they arc properly organized and in- telligently used.
