THE RISING GENERATION
BY h. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright. 1881

II you are n patent. teacher, clergy
man. physician or social worker. II
you in any way have to do with the
training or care Of children, 1 want
once more to urge you to cooperate
with patriotic heartiness in the cam
paign now under way to safeguard
the health Of the rising generation.
Give time and thought to this as
earnestly as you give time and
thought to war work. It is as much
your duty.
Child saving has. indeed, always
been your duty. The war has made
1t your duty more than ever. Con-
slider. II you please. this statement by
the chief medical officer of the British
board OF education:
The European war has given new
emphasis to the importance of the
child as a primary national asset.
The future and strength of the
nation unquestionably depends upon
the vitality Of the child. upon his
health and development. and upon
zenship. Great and far-reaching is
sues Have their origin and some of
their inspiration in him.
yet in a certain though narrow
sense everything depends upon his
physique.
III that be sound we have the rock
upon which a nation and a race may
be built; II that be impaired we lack
that foundation and build on the sand.
1T would be difficult to overesti-
mate the volume of national ineffl-
cheney, unfitness and suffering, Of un-
necessary expenditure and Of indus
trial unrest and unemployability to
which this country haNoI,na
of its relative failure to rear and to
educate healthy. virile and well
equipped race of children and young
people.
There Is no investment comparable
to this. no national economy so fun
irretrievable as that Of nation which
is careless Of its rising generation.
And the goal Is not an Industrial
machine, q technical workman, a
hand available merely for the in
crease Of material output and the ac-
possible moment. but human per-
sonality. we'll grown and ready in
body and mind, able to work, able to
play. good citizen. the healthy
parent Of future generation"
England's need Is no less our need.
give all Of them better chance than
we have been giving to develop into
happy. healthy and successful. mon
and women.
The campaign now being conducted
by the children's bureau and the
woman's committee of the Council of
National Defense offers us a chance
both to serve and to learn.
For the children'e sake, for the ma
tion's sake, let US not miss the chance
1t offers.
In every community there are local
committees at work. Cooperation
with these can be effected through the
municipal health authorities, or by

KEEP YOUR BONDS.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1881

Now that you have bought your
liberty bonds. keep them.
Don't sell them. Don't exchange
them. Put them away and forget
them.
They are the safest investment you
can have. They are better than money
in the savings bank. for they mean
security plus patriotism. They are
better than gold or greenbacks. be-
cause they earn $4.25 on 800 for you
every year.
Don't spend them for luxuries. II
you are tempted to turn them in on q
piano or a new rug, go without the
furniture and hang on to the bonds.
For the furniture wears out, but the
bonds go on making profit for you.
These bonds are a good speculation.
as we'll as a good investment. They
are pretty sure to increase In value.
Other government bonds have. in times
Of peace, gone up above par; some as
high as 189.
When you note in the papers that
they are now selling below par don't be
alarmed. Keep your bonds. Naturally.
when such flood Of them are now being
bought many persons who need cash. or
think they need 1t, will sell at a slight
temporary. 1t represents but a fringe
Of the market. No sound security. es-
pecially with the United States govern
ment behind It, can possibly sag, when
normal conditions return. Keep your
bonds. they will mean a good profit some
day
Watch out for the promoter. He is
certain to come along with "a sure
thing" that will pay you 10 or 20 per
cent. and offer to let you in on the
ground floor as special favor. But al
ways keep this in mind: II his PROPOSE
per cent he wouldn't be giving you a
chance to get It: the wise ones in the
financial world would have gobbled 1t
up before 1t got to you. And II his
grand scheme isn't good enough for J.
P. Morgan 1t isn't good enough for you.
500 bond keep 1t. The smaller. the
safer. There may be other things you
can do with 100000 or million dollars
that will be better than retaining It in
these bonds Il wouldn't be positive
you'll have to ask somebody that has
such an amount). but certain 1t IL that
there's no safer place for your and my
little sum than in the treasury Of our
Uncle Sam.
Then there's a feeling about the mat
ter which is worth considering. These
bonds are not mere money. they appeal
to something more than our pride Of
possession. they mean that we are part
ners with the Z. 8. A. They are badges
Of honor. They signify that we. indi-
vidually. were sure enough of victory to
put our money up against the Hun.
So keep your liberty bond. Don't sell
1t. Nor exchange It, Nor lose It.
And P. s.: II you've subscribed, don't
be frightened; some way will be opened
for you to pay. Keep up your partial
payments. Don't for anything. lose your
membership in

Holders.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, June 1.-Dun's review
Of the week says:
The more complete concentration of
the nations industrial forces on war
activities necessitating many revolu-
tionary changes, is being accomplished
steadily and with a minimum Of dis
turbance Extension of governmental
domination of business to meet the
exigencies Of the period Is reflected in
the continued readjustments in both
production and distribution, and the
situation has been further featured by
important action on railroad rates
and wages and by proposals of new tax
alton measures. While the rise OF prices
Of various commodities has been halted
through official regulation, or from
other causes. manufacturing and mer-
camille profits remain large in many
instances, as reports of earnings tes-
tify. and the May insolvency returns
disclose the smallest number of COM

TO some extent the existing shortage

as the approaching harvest season is
concerned. conference Of Montgom-
cry county farmers will be held in

court for the county, who has taken
ia lively interest in the labor question.
and others.
To Consider D. c. Mems Offer.
One. matter to be considered by the
meeting will be the offer of a large
number of business and professional
men of Washington. many of whom
have homes in the lower section of
this county, to spend at least a por.
tion of their vacations this summer
helping on Montgomery county farms
An effort will be made to ascertain
exactly how many of the farmers OF
the county desire help of this char
acter and what they are willing to
pay in the way of wages. There is
believed to be little doubt that the
cffer Of these men will be gladly ac-
cepted. and no trouble is anticipated
about satisfactory understanding in
regard to wages.
According to Preston r. Ray, clerk
of the circuit court. there are about
seventy-five abie-bodied men in this
county who are now engaged in rail-
road laboring work. and similar
number who are employed on the
state roads Of the county Mr.. Ray
has written to Gen. Francis E.
Waters, chairman Of the executive
committee of the National Council Of
Defense. asking him to use his in
fluence with the railroad authorities
and the state roads commission to
have at least IS per cent Of these
men furloughed from June 20 to July
IS SO that they will be available for
farm work during the harvest sea-
son. According to Mr.. Ray. Mont
gomery county needs at least 500
extra farm hands to save the crops
