Its interesting to

Now, there's
B. #. Paine.
We always thought
The F in his cognomen
Stood for

Or some other kind
OF nut.
But we guessed
Wrong.
The record says its
Finny.
OF course, Bert,
Being a real up to
Date geek, spells
1t lynne, or
Something
Like that.
Says its a family name
And SO forth.
But that's all
Bunk.
His wife told
Us all about 1t ,...5
And its just plain
Finny.
She says when
He was born he
Looked so much like
A fish
That they all called him
Fin
And the name just
Naturally stuck to
Him because his
Looks didn't
Improve none with age.
But when he grew
Bigger, they called him
Finny
And later Bert tried
To camouflage it by
Writing 1t
lynne.

Julius Beerman has pulled down
another high honor. He was recently
appointed by H. M. Sparboe as master
Of the Liberty loan commissary de-
partment to succeed DIR. Galloway,
who resigned to enter the army. The
position is purely honorary. There is
absolutely no work connected with it,
All he has to do is to pay the dinners
of the workers at Liberty loan head
quarters. He doesn't even have to
order the chow. The workers" do
that and Ma Miller cooks it and then
spends the rest of her time worrying
about poor julius" OF course.
Julius gets lot Of free advertising
out of it-that's where the "emolu-
ments of Office come in at cash out
lay of $10.55. We understand that DR..
Galloway worked up big practice on
this sort of advertising
Anu Slice Cne lOdu Is over, JULIUS
showed his appreciation Of the honor
by presenting Sparboe, Mason and
Want HUI each with brand new hat.
But these birds all need new suits
now and are afraid to patronize Julius
for fear he might slip in the price Of
the head pieces!
We have Mrs. \Millers word for it
that these guys sold counterfeit
bunch of advertising. But, on the
other hand, somebody had to be'a goat.
A Nut.
A friend the other day slipped us
this one:
If you've bats in your belfry that flut,
If you're comprenex vous ropes
been cut,
II there's no one at home
In the top Of your dome,
Then your heads not head, it's a
nut!

The advantages Of keeping

emphasized too strongly. The

can never be regained. When
Government insurance is allowed
to lapse the holder cannot again
obtain insurance except from
private companies at q consid-
cradle increase in cost. More
over, many of tho men may have
become uninsurable as result
Of the war through physical i'm
pairment, and If these allow
their insurance to lapse they viii
lose the last opportunity for
their families to have the protec-
ton Of life insurance.
THE economic vaIue of life
insurance to society is so well
recognized as to need no argu-
ment. The Government now has
in force upon the lives of four
million American citizens who
have fought its battles, q life
insurance group larger than all
others combined. Therefore it
is manifestly of the highest in1-
portance not on'y 20 the fighting
men and their dependents but 10
all the people, that the largest
possible percentage Of this i'm
suranee shall be continued in
force after its holders shall be
returned to civil Life"

HOW GERMANS ARE DELUDED
Ridiculous Statements Made by kai-
7er's Government Prove How Real
Is Fear of America.

A poster recently issued by the i'm
perfal German government in an effort
to belittle the participation of America
in the war and thus strengthen the
morale of her people form the text of
one Of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the Forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The title of the poster is "Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
Warp" Integral sections of it attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war, and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships. at
tempt to cross the ocean. A French
poster also is reproduced in the Ger
man poster and the meaning so twisted
as to make it appear that France is
very badly in need of food.
Two millions of the booklets have
been printed and will 1.e distributed
! III various parts of the country, par
| ticularly in theaters where Liberty
! Lean speakers take the book as their
| text.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
| haEds in his OvercOat pockets, indica-
tive of the fact that he is through
fighting Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding a small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in
his right hand. In his left hand Uncle
Sam carries banner which bears the
| inscription, America threatens to
send transport of one-half million men.
But it cannot, ship them !" Below
Uncle Sam are these words: ''It is
impossible for America to train and
fit out in time for the European war q
suitable and sufficiently large army
and provide it with the necessary re
endorsements" The catchline of this
section of the poster is 'Russia's army
of millions could not down Germany
and on the skirt of the Russian sol
diGr's overcoat are printed these
words: Russia used up altogether
