DON'T Bury Your Bond.

When you and your neighbor have
bought your Liberty Bonds, don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
board. Take them to your country
banker and have him give you certlfi-
Gates of deposit for the bonds. Your
banker can take these bonds to Fed
eral Reserve bank and borrow money
for your use in case you suddenly find
yourself in need Of funds. Hiding a
bond is as bad as boarding money. Keep
the bonds and the money in circula-
ton and the country will pull through
this crisis all right.

Plant and Eat Beans.

CFrona the Wall Street Journal.)
 Like the mule in the Am erican army beans are considered one of the essen- tials of warfare. There has been ddsn0sitOr to ecOnOmize in this use Tn order to provide for the army ana navy. but now the Food admin1stra- lions asks the people to eat more Of them. The reason is not difficult TO find The meat supply must be en,arded, and beans will take the pnace. Indeed, they are to be re- igarded as a substitute for meat rather than for cereal and vegetable foods.
 The protein content is large, being about 22 per cent, and twice that in the SOY bean with which we are just becoming acquainted. Measured by calories, one pound of the ordinary beans is equal to two pounds of round steak or eighteen eggs. It would take five pounds of potatoes to balance one of them.
 While they cost enough to tempt the a,cnetite of those who relish nothing unless it is expensive, yet they are comparatively cheap. A quart of them. worth 20 cents, will equal a dol lars worth of meat. Tn the past Boston has been wiser than the rest of us, It's a pity that other parts of the country have not made them an institution instead of waiting for of ficial auth ority to ask them now to eat beans
 But if meat is necessary in great quantities for the armies, as it is, Loyalty will the people respond to the appeal to turn to beans. The next call must be addressd to the farmers Last year they increased the produc- tion 50 per cent. But, to meet the new situation made by the war, last sea sons production should be doubled this year. There is still time to in- crease the acreage and raise a large portion of this meat substitute, a real and not synthetic food.

TOTAL ECLIPSE.

At about 6;30 this evening, resi- dents of this section of the country will be able to witness a total eclipse of the sun. The phenomenon will last until about 8:15, and the eclipse will be at it's height at 7:26. Tn these regions we will see only about 68 per cent. of the total eclipse but it will be well worth ones Whle to view the spectacle from an elevated point. AS the sun rays will be too strong at the hour mentioned to permit gazing at it win the naked eye, it is necessary to use smoked glasses. Echpses gener- ally occur about once every eighteen years. Perhaps the sun gets curious every so often and would like to know much brilliancy men on this earth who are considered "bright' can shed around them when the sun is hidden. But we'll fool Old Sol to- nght by staying home.

ANOTHER GERMAN BLUFF.

The Germans are fond of referring to Americans as 'tbluffers'. But their government officials like to try lit tie bluff themselves every now and then. Witness the latest attempt on the part of Germany to force the re- ! who directed all the bomb outrages perpetrated in this country by Hun agents before Bernstorff was cha sed home. Rinte1en was sentenced to At lanta prison. The Germans want to get him out, for they need him badly They discovered that they had an al- legged American citizen in Warsaw,
 whom they had imprisoned on the charge of being an accomplice to a spy who worked against Germany for
 the Russian army in the days of the
 cam paign in Poland. This so-ca1led
 Americans name was Siegfried Paul
 London, who resided in Warsaw for
 many years. He was born in Ger
 many. He was sentenced to be shot
 put TeCelVeu d COIlInutdtlOn dllu 1Ill-
 prisoned for ten years. So Berlin now informs Washington that MT. London
 is still a German prisoner and hints
 that unless Rintelen is released, Lon
 don may be executed. But Washing
 ton called this new bluff. Secretary
 Lansing has informed the German
 government that If 1t tried to punish
 an Am merican citizen in Germany be-
 cause of Rintelen's internment there country who can also suffer if our
 Government is moved to reprisal
 measures. And that's the last we will
 hear of this mater from Berlin.
