Nothing has given such an impetus
to housing reform, since its beginning,
as the official action of the United

millions of dollars for the housing of
industrial workers engaged In ship
building, munition making, etc. The
fact that the wheels of government in

HOLD YOUR BONDS AND
WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has issued the following statement
in regard to Liberty bonds;
Hold your Liberty bonds and war
savings certificates.
"Hold them first because they are
the best Investment in the world,
backed by every resource in the
United States
"Hold them because you have made
d sacrifice in order to buy them.
Why pass on to someone else con-
tract you have entered into with your
government
"Hold them because even though
the war may be over, it has not yet
been paid for The treasury depart
ment must soon issue more bonds.
Every sale now made by you makes
future government issues more diff
ficult and expensive. This expense
can be borne only by the people Of
the United States, therefore, why
add to the already large burden?
"Hold them because the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be a true friend in time Of
need, guarantee against the fear
Of death and insurance against real
Hardship.
"Hold them because the need for
saving is not yet over. Government
expenses are today larger than at
any time during the war, Our boys
in France and Germany must still be
paid and fed and clothed, and when
the work is over, transported home.
They have not quit why should youg
"Hold your Liberty bonds instead
of exchanging them for some other
so-called security" Because you
know the security of your United
States bond, and you cannot know
the worth Of what is offered in eX-
change The @get-rieh-quick" crook
Is ready to steal your bonds from
you at the first opportunity,
Hold them because Of the interest
they pay. Hold them because it is
good business to do so. What good
will the idle pleasure and needless
Injuries bought today with the pro-
ceeds Of your bonds be to you a year
from now? Your bond works for
YOU, drawing interest day and night,
week days and Sundays.
'tIIold your bonds don't be quit

EVERY YEAR

And the snow ghastler whlteness,
Every year;
Nor do summer flowers quicken
Nor the autumn foliage thieken,
AS they once did, for they sicken.
Every year.
lit Is growing darker, colder
Every year;
AS the heart and soul grow older,
Every year
1 care not now for dancing,
Or the eyes wit, passion CHANGING,
Love is less and less enhancing
Every year.
OF the loves and sorrows blended,
Every year;
Of the charms Of riendship ended,
Every year
OF the ties that still might bind me
Until time to death resign me,
My infirmities remind me
Every year.
All! how sad to look before US,
Every year.
While the cloud grows darker Ger us
Every year;
When we see the blossoms faded
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
TO the past go more dead faces
Every year;
AS the loved leave vacant places
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evening dusk they Greet US,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing old" they tell us,
every year."
"You are more alone" they tell us
Every year,"
''You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year
Yes! The shores Of life are shifting
Every year;
And we are seward drifting,
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are few to regret us,
Every year.
But the true life draws higher,
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;

And the heavenly burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
