There are few calamity howlers in
every community, If 1t is large enough
to amount to much. They are like
weeds-they will sprout in unexposed
places. You will find them to be ex-
tremely fearful that the country is in
bad shape-that the worst is vet to
come. 1t is best to look on the other
side-times are much better than
they were a year ago, when the war
was on in full blast when thousands
of Americas fine young men were be.
ing shot to pieces-all for the sake
of making this land safe for those of
them that would be left and for those
who could not go overseas. A con.
siderable number Of those who did
not go over have less patriotism than
was anticipated, Judging by their in.
ability to be patient and await the
time when the nation settles back to
normal peacetime basis.-Plant Civ

LOAN PLAN FOR
BOND HOLDERS

Recognizing that many bondholders
who are forced to borrow on their
Government bonds are at the mercy
Of INSCRIPTIONS agencies, the Nation
al Federation of Remedial Loan AS
ISOLATION has appointed committee
to confer with the United States
Treasury officials and then draft a
uniform plan for handling this prob
lem throughout the country.
The action taken by the convention
to protect bondholders is in keeping
with the constructive work of the AS
ISOLATION in the past. Buying a good
bond is good business, and selling a
good bond or borrowing on it may be
necessary piece of business, but
selling bond of the United States
Government far below its real value
discredits not only our Government
but weakens that fine spirit of patri.
otism that led citizens to back Ameri-
ca to their last dollar
1t is the purpose of the National
Remedial Loan Association to work
out plan for lending on bonds that
will enable the original purchaser to
retain his bond until maturity and
pay back the loan in small Install
ments.
The Remedial Loan Association I'M
doubtedly will be able to work out a
plan, in conjunction with Treasury
officials, which will do much to re-
lieve the present situation, further the
government desire that Liberty Bonds
be held so far as possible by their
original purchasers and check the op-
erations of INSCRIPTIONS dealers. In
the meantime, cooperation on the
part of industrial, fraternal and labor
organizations is urgently needed to
take care of small loans needed by
employer and members.
Through such cooperation, loans
might be made and the government
bonds held as security for redemption
by the original owner when his press
ing necessity has passed.

in that northern region says that with
only nine seagoing steamers available
with an aggregate capacity of 527

last year. The crying need Of the in
dustry is moro ships, according to the

"The commercial . fleet" continues
the paper, "must be made ten or

Kamchatka with its fisheries, the Sea
Of Okhotsk As well as the coal produc-
ing regions Of Shaghalien use Niko-

Through the county local organize
tions are established and they in turn
control the work of their local terri
tories.
Groups of boys and youngmen are
established, throughout the county not
only in the villages but also out in
the farm district, meeting perhaps in
the country school house or in the
boys back kitchen and the County Sec
rotary finds q leader to take charge
of this group and helps him work out
his program that will interest that
particular group. The County Y. NJ.
C. A. depot have been devised hun
ded games especially for these groups
that can be played without equipment,
It also takes up educational work, il

There is ALSO religious study carried
out purely from the non-sectarian
bases which builds the character Of
those boys.
