1t is very remarkable fact that of
this vast number of patriotic Ameri-
cans, all but 22,500 bought bonds in
amounts ranging from $50 to $1O,-
900. Only 22,500, including corpora
tons, bought Liberty Bonds of the
third loan in excess Of $4,000. 1t
would be preposterous to say that
there are only 22,500 men, women,
and corporations in America able to
lend more than $4,000 each to their
government on Liberty Bonds. The
record of the third Liberty Loan
concusively shows that the great
mass of the American people, the
men and women of small and mod
crate means, were highly patriotic
and did their duty splendidly, where
as only 22,500 persons and corpora
tions among Americas Weather
classes, bought bonds above the $780,
600 mark. | would not Intentionally
draw any differences from these facts
which would do injustice to wealthy
corporations and to the men and
women in America of large and easy
circumstances, but these figures at
least indicate that they did not re-
spond to the call of the government
in the Third Liberty Loan common
surately with their ability to help"
1t will be source of qualification
after the war to know that the great
war debt is owed to citizens of our
own country. 1t will not be such
a drain upon the resources and labor
of the country when the interest is
paid to its own people. Remember
the surprising quickness with which
France discharged her debt to Ger

War. France was enabled to do this

denominations to her own people

The castles will be strewn up and
down Kansas avenue, each one being
located at some strategic point where
it is known that the biggest crowds

the recounting was not difficult. well.
you see, Aunt Bethiah had ideas of
her own about how girls should spend
their time and so long as read poetry
and novels and did embroidery in the
garden she was satisfied. But when !
improved my time talking to you in
stead, she was distressed. So long as
that high board fence was here she
was satisfied. I was quite safe in the
garden. Then the Neighborhood as
ISOLATION decided to have all fences
down, and tho Aunt Bethish fought
it. the association had its way. She
planted the hedge and took me off
for four years in France-she said she
had intended to take me, anyway, and
perhaps she had 1 would have liked
going better If it had not seemed like
punishment for talking to you those
days when the fence was down before
we started. It was just about this
time of the year, wasn't it?
And then by the time wee came
back the hedge was high enough for
a protection and you had forgotten
all about your neighbor, and Aunt
Bethiah was sure she had done her
duty. I think the poor old dear died
happier because the hedge was twelve
feet high and five feet thick She
used to smile-so contentedly when
people told her it was the finest hedge
Ia IiiC SldlS- ISdAiy dOIll KNOW why
she should have objected SO much to
our talking"
Perhaps I was very much to
blame" Robert Pritchard explained.
Il was 25 then, and went about things
differently than l would now. You
see I made the Neighborhood associa-
ton vote to have the fences taken
down. 1t was my first attempt at
civic Improvement, and no one but
Aunt Bethiah suspected my motive.
She called at my office and told me
her opinion of me and 1 got as hot
headed as she was and told her that
wanted to marry you and intended
to do it. I'd spent the evening here
by the lilacs with you then and knew
my heart. ] didn't believe the good
lady when she told me that you had
told her 1 annoyed you and had asked
to be taken away, SO 1 can't hold il up
against her. I've wanted. tho, to hear
you say that it wasn't So"
And I really think Aunt Bethiah
liked you all alone-do you believe
she is SO very cross because we are
sitting here a ain under the lilac
bush?"
Judge Pritchard We ND have liked to
say ust then that he was entirely n
different as to- whether Aunt Bethiah
approved or not-but so completely
was he concerned with the realization
that he had within his reach the love
