BY GEORGE ADE,
The Humorist and Playwright.

Once upon a time a traveller arrived
at a hotel late in the evening. He told
the clerk that he wished to send a
telegram to his wife, but he wanted
delivery postponed until morning.
Its the first time I've been away
from home since we were married." he
explained. "I want her to know the
first thing in the morning that I'm all
right, but 1 wouldn't have her called
up in the night for anything. If she
received a wire at night she'd keel
right over before reading it. Shed
know that I'd been killed in a rail-
road accident.
"In that case" said the sympathetic
clerk, you had better send night
letter, because a night letter is never
delivered until the following day."
The clerk gave the man blank and
the man, after properly addressing the
message, wrote Arrived safely" and
signed his name.
'It costs just as much for two words
as for fifty" explained the clerk.

Many of these already have raised
their flags with big local celebrations.
and are starting on the way toward
doubling. their subscriptions and win
ming the honor star. Although this spirit
appears quite general among these honor
communities, the Treasury is distinctly
concerned over the cases in which cele-
bration over reaching the goal is taken
as an excuse for resting on the oars.
By districts the number of COM
munities which have won honor flags Is
reported as follows: Cleveland. 134;
Boston. 119; Chicago. ia; New York.
81: Kansas City, Is. Other districts have

Too Much Loan Optimism,
Officials Declare, Would
Menace Success of Drive

Overoptimism. hich has romted
workers in many communities to sus-
pend operations after reaching their
quota, or to slacken their efforts, ap-
peared yesterday to officials as a ser1-
Gus menace to the success of the third
liberty loan. This condition was evil
dent in scores of reports to headquar-
terS.
Federal reserbe banks reported in
quiries from local committee chair
men whether they should suspend ad-
vertising after towns goal was
reached. and other messages reflected a
feeling that since the first weeks sub
scriptions had been so much greater
than those of the first week in the eec-
ond loan the success of this campaign
was assured.
Messages from headquarters to COM
munities which showed signs of letting
up in their efforts stated emphatically
that despite the success that has attend
ed the campaign up to the present hard
work to the very last day'is necessary,
particularly if Secretary McAdoo's
hopes of a large oversubscription are
to be realized.

Had a Saving Disposition.

Well, the traveller was of a saving
disposition. He didn't like to forfeit
something to which he was entitled.
And yet the only real news he had to
convey to the dear creature at home
was that he had arrived safely and all
was well.
So he took back the message and re-
yised it to read as follows:
