BEREA BOY DIES OF WOUNDS

The sad word was received this
week that Private Basil Ball. Of a
machine gun battery, had died OF
wounds that he received in action,
before hostilities ended in France.
Young Ball was a son of Mrs. Lille
Ball Of Berea, and was popular and
fine young man. He had many
friends who will mourn that he is
gone, but all extend to his mother
their sincere sympathy.
IL will be no small consolation to
the bereaved mother that her son
gave his life, as did the thousands Of
others in this great struggle that
freedom might prevail.

A BOOM IN BLUE SKY.

The secretary Of state at the state
house says that there are more con-
Germs seeking permission under the
blue sky law to sell their securities in
Iowa than have ever appeared at his
office before in any similar period of
time and his experience bears close
resemblance to that of the average
business man of any creditable stand
ing. From two to three high class
solicitors are calling every day upon
men who have property seeking to in
terest them in outside investments.
Capital stock in IAN oil proposition
or tire factory or a new insuprance
comapny have all been offered to Mar
shalltown men on the same day and
nearly al of the solicitors sell some
body before they leave town.
The business is legitimate enough so
far as the statesmen are concerned but
the investments are hazardous and
speculative and this is no time for any
body to be specializing in new pro-
jects. People should sit tight until
this war is won and finance nothing
but necessary and established projects
and the war.
AS a rule outside investments are
more hazardous than any at home for
ho ipc mi
close neighbors whose business habits
are known here There is always a
reason for going away from home for
money. If the project was so exceed
ingly promising as to justify invest
ment in these times the insiders at
home would let their friends in first.
1t is usually the hazard that causes
solicitors to be sent abroad to sell and
spread the risk out thin.
At the beginning it is wise policy on
the part of promoters to spread the
risk over a large number of investors
so that nobody will be ruined in case
the project fails, but where it makes
good the insiders always knows 1t first
and there are devious ways of skim
ming the cream when one is in charge
of the Swimming himself. The result
is that If the scheme loses all lose
alike but If it succeeds the outsiders
get their many back and the insiders
get the winnings.
The safest place to invest money is
near enough to ones home to personal

TING THE THRIFT BONDS.

A Dallas restaurant is selling thrift
lamps like hot cakes and with hot
cakes. This ia the way he works it.
His menu card runs like this:
Thrift stamps % cents" Ham and
eggs and thrift stamp So cents; Hot
cakes and a thrift stamp 40 cents:
pie and thrift stamp 80 cents" and
so on down the list
OF course every one pays the same
price for a thrift stamp at the res
taurant as anywhere else, but the sug-
gestion is there. Also when the Gus
toner is receiving change he finds it
easy under suggestion to include a
stamp with his bill. SO the restaurant
man is selling a lot of stamps assist
Ing the government and incidentally
advertising himself and his restaurant
as patriotic workers with the govern
ment.
Some business houses are advertis-
ing thrift stamps on their envelopes.
Some farmers are carrying remnants
on their cars. Transfers are putting
banners on their wagons, street cars
are displaying thrift bond banners in
many places
The thrift bond is being worked for
all 1t is worth in the east and the
south. Here in the middle west while
We are buying bonds freely it is point
ed out by thrift bond leaders that we
are not displaying the enthusiasm
shown in some other sections. How
ever, we are putting our good money

carry her quota with a straight back
in all activities of the war. She must

cumstances and conditions surround
ing. An that's what everybody Is
saying. That's what everybody will be
expected to be doing.
All things must stand aside for the
war
Get ready for the new liberty loan.
But the government while speaking
softly has big stick ready in the cor
ner. The man who can buy bonds bust
buy willingly if he will unwillingly If it
comes to that SO much leaks out from
those who have been called to the in
ner councils Of this liberty loan drive
which is in immediate preparation.
Just how the unwilling are to be per
suaded' isn't revealed but that the
machinery is being creased and got
ready is known. The man who could
and didn't in the past drives is going
to he especially conspicuous and the
man who can and refuses this time.
whether or not he came in on other
drives is also likely to attain consider
able prominence. For the government
needs the money. The government
ought to have it. The government is
going to get it.
The first loan was asked somewhat
apolog etcally. 1t was a new thing.
The second loan displayed more con-
fidence and a better understanding of
conditions and the essential propriety
of the request the government makes
when it asks loan for war purpose.
This loan will also be a request but
it will also be a demand. Both gov
eminent and people have come long
way in war and the understanding Of
what war means since the first and
second liberty loans were offered.

Dear me! I made mistake in the
last story. told you I would tell you
what kind of a slipper the little brown
monkey sold to the poor lame duck
whom Uncle Lucky brought to be fit
ted, you remember. But goodness me!
That silly old duck, who always wore
her shoes too tight for her, didn't want
"a slipper. No, stree, Ma'am Sufragette.
She wanted high heeled French Kid
boot with pearl buttons and silk laces.
well, give her what she wants" said
the generous old gentleman rabbit, Mr..
Lucky Lefthindfoot, president Of the
Rabbitville Bank and the Welsh Rabbit
Club, and he took out his purse and
gave the little brown monkey To-
karat gold piece, and after that the
little brown monkey brought out more
than 1000 pairs of boots, and after a
while pretty long, that fussy old lame
duck picked out pair, and Uncle
Lucky said, Keep the change!" to the
obliging monkey shoeman, only there
wasn't any change, he told Robbie Red
breast afterward, but he didn't tell
Uncle Lucky, for he was too polite.
Now, III take you home, said the
old gentleman rabbit, and when that
silly lady duck reached her own house,
she almost forgot to thank Uncle
Lucky for his kindness. She was in
such a hurry to try on her new shoes,
I guess she forgot her grammar les
son.
Now We'll do what we started out
to do said Uncle Lucky, and he shook
hands with Mr.. Jack Hare, for II you
remember what happened when he got
off the train, you'll know why these
two dear friends hadn't had time to
even say howdy before this.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

i've ordered q nice lettuce supper
tonight with carrot mince pie and tur-
nip sauce" said Uncle Lucky, "and l
guess it's time we started home" and
then he looked at his gold watch and
chain and goodness me, would you be-
lieve it, it was thirteen hours past
fourteen o'clock.
Goodness gracious meebus," said
Uncle Lucky, that turnip sauce Will be
boiled to death If we don't get home in
five hundred short seconds. and then
he made that Old Brown Horse go so
fast that all the telegraph poles ran
into one and the old snake fence along
the roadway looked like an immense
long pair of spiders legs.
And wasn't it nice to get home at
last. It always is when you known that
supper is waiting for you and the little
old mantel clock is ticking a welcome.
And as soon as the Old Brown Horse
was put in the barn the two little rab-
bits and Mr.. Jack Hare hoped into the
house and went upstairs to wash the
dust from their faces and ears. And
when Uncle Lucky had put on his din
ner jacket and Mr.. Jack Hare had done
the same, for he had his in his dress
suit case, you know, and Billy Bunny
had dressed himself up in his blue vel
vet suit with the big broad white linen
collar around his neck, they all sat
down to eat.
And while they were eating the little
yellow canary sang:
Homo again, home again from buggy
ride,
There's no place like home, guess,
Loving hearts and soft caress.
And a girl with eyes Of blue
Waiting there for only you.'

WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS.

Billy Sunday. Woodrow Wilson, Cen
eral Pershing and multitude of prom
inent parsonage furnish press stuff
for the publicity end of the liberty loan
drive soon to begin. People read what
those men say to learn what those
men think of the loan, the war.
What do they say? Just what eevry
one else is saying and what every one
else knows-the war must be won and
it can't be won without the money to
do It with When the whole batch Of
saying and speeches and different ways
Of putting it have been b led down
they all come to the same place-those
who By any possibility can must lend
their money to the government to
carry on the war. The government
must have the money.
Moreover it is going to get it That's
another item on which all agree, even
the rich man who endeavors to duck
his own responsibility and shift it
upon others. He also agrees that the
government will get the money. What
he would like most of all is that the
government will get it out of other
men and leave him free to profiteer
with his IN the loan markets seeking
the extreme legal interest and a prem
ium" Of two or three per cent by evas-
ion Of ths uury laws.
No matter who says it, how he says
it, what particular line Of argument
or assertion he takes 1t all amounts
to the same thing in the end-we must
win the war and every body must help
