Want to Rent Old CASTER

II anybody wants TO buy ruined
castle, described as 'of great histor-
zeal and romantic history" now is their
chance. according to advertisements In
serted In the British papers.
It is not exactly modern, dating, as
Il does, from 1068. and the advertiser
states that considerable outlay will
be required TO reconstruct It." The
purchaser Is assured, however, that II
reconstructed, en- unique and charming
home would result"
Nothing is said about ghosts, but II
stands TO reason that castle OF this
age must have q large and lively flock
of such insects. SO here's chance for
some Of Americas miFlionaires TO ac-
uuire at small cost a castle-and all
that goes with 1t.
An added inducement Is that there Is
good trout fishing near by, so that
when tired Of gazing at his unique and
charming home the purchaser can rest
his mind by going fishing.

TIE WEALTHY DOLLAR

Money saved now and securely
invested will have double buying
power in the future. The saying
has come up from the dark ages
that the way to make money is to
buy cheap and sell dear. As the
government of the United States
is pointing out to its citizens, one
way to do this is to buy standard
securities when the purchasing
power of money is greater. Low
power" dollars invested in gov
rnment securities now will be re-
deemed at a later period when in
terest and principal will come
back as "high-power" dollars.
Here is how it works: Before
the war you earned, say So day.
Now you earn, say S. for doing
the same work. But you can't
buy much more with your S. than
you could with your three dollars
other prices have gone up along
with the price of your labor.
Now when prices and wages
have decreased somewhat, you
may, for example, be earning and
spending 81 day. Your hundred
dollars worth of War Savings
Stamps becomes due and the gov
ernment gives you back your
original investment of $50 plus
ST. interest. In terms of days
labor the government is giving
back four days more than it bor-
rowed from you, plus your $1S IL
tereSt
This changing value of the dol
lar has made many people richer
and others poorer without their
knowing exactly how it happened.
Now is the chance to join those
who are going to be made richer

Bio Demand for Diamonds.

The demand for diamonds all over
the world SO far exceeds the supply
that the stocks of Importers and cut
tiers are practically exhausted and they
are unable to fill the orders Of their
retail customers. This condition was
attributed by New York jewelers. chief
~ to the prosperity OF the country.
The wartime period of bonanza wages
has made the working people the M
tons greatest diamond buyers. This
class, It was said. had absorbed large
portion OF the small stones on the mar.
ket. but the rich man is as bndly on as
the man OF moderate circumstances
because tire larger and more valuable
diamonds are scarce and higher In
price.

INDIAN THIEF HAD INGENUITY
Remarkably Clever strataoem ~
which PIegan Escaped Win His
9octy Of Stolen PonIss.

among the many interesting stories
told by members OF the Canadian
mounted police Is one that has to do
with the cleverness Of an Indisn.
One snowy morning band OF Crees
awoke TO find that about q dozen OF
their ponies had been stolen during the
night A band to 20 I'm pursuit was
Immediately organized. and in the
course OF an hour the trail was struck.
The band followed II for thirty miles
or more. tin II entered river and
headed for little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees. and
an opening. apparently the mouth Of
q cave. was IN plain view. Presently
q Piegnn Indian showed himself in
front Of the opening. At his heels was
q dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees. who were lying low. and began
growing and barking. The Piegan look
ed up, glanced about him for moment
and then instantly entered the cave.
IT. about ten seconds. another Piegan
came round the rocks and also went
in; then another. and another and an
other. The Crees lay silently In the
bushes. counting. till upward OF nifty
Piegans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave. and still they kept
coming. Each carried rifle.
When at last seventy men had disap-
peared in the cave. the superstitious
and cautious Crees concluded that the
evil spirit had something to do with
II. So thoroughly were they filed with
this idea that even when reinforce
ments came, which was in few hours,
they were reluctant to attack the
island.
That night, however. one Cree. less
cfedulous than the others, crossed over
the ice to investigate. On approach
ing the supposed cave, he found that
IL was no cave at all, but simply an
opening leading some ten feet into the
rock, where II made turn and came
out on the other side.
There was the remnant OF q single
camp fire. the ponies were gone and
not an Indian was In sight. The In
genious Piegan thief. by making the
circuit OF the passage. and the end OF
the island seventy times, had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.

WHY LEAGUE OF NATIONS

1t may not be perfect state pa.
per. 1t may have some faults that
will have to be corrected later
Our own Constitution has been
amended, yet it is conceded to. be
one of the most perfect instru-
ments ever drawn. When many
nations, instead of the people of
one nation, attempt TO draw up
articles OF agreement, it is natural
that the result is a compromise.
1t must be the present constitu-
ton for a League of Nations or
none at all Amendments must
come when necessary. Perfection
to begin with is unattainable. A
demand that the constitution be
perfect, that it suit every object
ing lawyer who wants to air his
legal knowledge, is absurd. The
question is, shall we prevent fu=
ture wars or not?
The question Of our unprepar-
edness had less to do with the be-
ginning OF the war than the ques-
ton OF what nations would par
ticipate. Had Germany ever
dreamed that England would side
with Belgium, and that Italy
would violate the Triple Alliance
between Austria. Germany and
Italy, and that the United States
would eventually side with the
enemies of Germany, there would
have been no war.
The war formed two leagues of
nations-those associating them
selves with the Central Powers
and those who allied themselves
against this greedy, military pow
er. The big league whipped the
lesser. What we want now is a
perpetual league of nations which
will stick together, league COM
posed of the stronger nations at
least, so that it will be known in
advance what may be expected if
any nation starts a war. None
will be started with such a league
in existence. Germany is anxious
to be a member Of the League of
Nations.
A reduction in ornaments, leav-
ing only a national police force
adjustment of compulsory train
ing and secret diplomacy, and
government ownership of all mu-
milton plants will make this old
world a very safe place to live in.
When we get back to normal
thinking. and our war-shattered
nerves quit twitching in fear, we
can amend the constitution of the
League of Nations. If need be.
What we want now is beginning
TO the end of war. If this is the
way you feel about it, let your
United States Senators know that
you want League of Nations.

Thines To Remember

Salad should be served on individual
plates, chilled.
Add a little blning to the water
when washing windows.
New potatoes should be neatly
scrubbed before baking.
For removing fruit stains, apply
powdered starch instantly.
Wash white silk gloves in cold wa
ter and dry in shade. They will not
turn yellow.

HELPS About Dishes

Don't hay pitchers too small to put
the hand in when cleaning.
Don't buy any kind of dish with lit
tie dents and curly twists in designs
These break easily and are not cleaned
easily.
Don't buy cheap dishes of china when
you can get good porcelain.
Don't buy loud colors or fantastic
designs for every day use These be-
come tiresome.
