registered rather coupon bonds. AS
many persons have already purchased
coupon bonds. however, they should
know how to take care of them All
coupon bonds should be deposited at
banks for safekeeping. so that they
will not be lost by fire or theft. 1t
is not generally necessary to rent q
safe-deposit box for this purpose.
Many banks will take care of the
bonds free of charge. Most employ
ers, too, are willing to care for the
bonds of their employees and to give
advice about the collection of inter-
est. In order to facilitate this, the
Chamber of Commerce proposes to
publish schedules of the interest dates
for each of the three loans
The gist of the matter is to remem-
her that your liberty bond represents
loan to your government for the
conduct of the war, and that it is
both prudent and patriotic to hold
this obligation until the war is over.

ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
The Soup Famine.
BY ROY K. MOULTON

1t has ben said of the American
people that they are the greatest soup
eaters in the history Of the world
greatest meaning most artistic. The
American technique is faultless, and it
requires more simon-pure technique
to assimilate soup than to perform
any other single function in the aver
age human life.
1t has required centuries of patient
effort to bring the American public
to its present standard of artistic eff
| f1clency. 1t seems a great pity that,
just as we have mastered this art in
all its branches, it seems fated to be
snatched from us as a consequence of
the great war.
The same is true of the gentle art
of spearing anchovies with a tooth
pick The war is a great leveler. 1t
takes from us with ruthless hand the
carefuily nurtured refinements, and
leaves only the elementals of food,
which require only the most primitive
of weapons in their assimilation
Science has just told us that the
soupless day is at hand. The various
articles which enter into the manufac-
possible exception of water, will soon
have gone up beyond the reach of
the average man, even tho he MAJ
use a stepladder or a captive balloon
Those who may doubt the serious
ness of the situation need only to read
the expert views in the public prints
While it is admitted on all sides that
soup should naturally be the last fool
rampant to fall, the end is not far off
The situation will not be so difficult
in France and Rumania, where they
make delicious soup from pump water
and sunlight with a dash of green
grass. but to England and America,
where people demand soup in their
soup, the present condition means
much.
The real trouble with Russia is that
there are so many Russians there.
The life of a grand opera singer is
not always as pleasant as it might be.
Somebody broke into Freda Hempepq
apartment and stole $500 worth of
champagne.
The Grand Duke Mike of Russia.
Who recently declined the throne
And is now trying to seat the
Young cZarowitch in it,
Is said to be very popular in Russia.
He is a regular idol of the people.
Everybody likes him except the
Bolsheviks, the Red Guard. the Soviets,
The Firms, the Lithuanians the Poles,
The Ukrainians, the Don Cossacks,
The Crimeans and the Siberians.
With these few exceptions,
The Russian people are wild about
him.

Innisfanen.

Innisfallen is only a tiny island, a
mere scrap Of green in the Killarney
lakes, but it holds the heart of the
Irish people. 1t is the sweet Innis-
of nymphs and dryads. True emerald
green, it is like a jewel set in the silver
waters of the lakes.
From Killarney's shores the tiny is
land seems covered with trees. huge
oaks and ashes there since the days of
Saint Patrick and Brian Boru. One
enormous holly, centuries old, towers
above Innisfallen's few acres. its giant
head held like a banner against the
sky The island still flies the green
flag of Ireland's past glories. unfurled
and untarnished thru the ages. The
spirit of Saint Patrick still reigns over
Innisfailen, unconquered and un-
daunted.
The Islands rocky shores are steep
and gray but indented here and there
with pleasant green coves and peaceful
inlets. High on HI. ge rock near the
landing place, perches the ruins of the
old Abbey of Saint Finian, founded in
500 A. D. by the leper prince. The
abbey is crumbling gray ruin. shell
of ivy covered walls and tumbling
were written. the only record of early
Irish history. The glories of the old
kings of Munster and Iseinster were
recorded in its pages-the story of
Brian Boru and his battles against the
Danes.
The natives of Killarney's shores
claim that InnisfAller is the favorite
haunt of the Good Little People. who
hold their nightly revels under the
shade of the cid holly tree. These
pixie people love the true Irish green
and the sound of the name of good
Saint Patrick-the sight of red flag
or the sound of the name st. George
breaks their faithful little hearts, so
they have retired to the one spot in
heard.
