For a moment the Giant looked puz-

the secret of how to gain fortune.
His eyes turned from Prince Bonnie
Blue Bell to the yellow roof of the
Hall of Gold Then suddenly his face
lighted up.
Il see see !" he shouted. 'T can't
safely reach that gold up there from
down here, but can draw it up through
the earth by planting crops. I wonder
IL there is gold under the farm have
rented?"
Behold" said Prince Bonnie Blue
Bell. He raped on the wall, door
opened, and there they were outside. And
the strangest part OF 1t was that they
were right on the Giants new farm.
The golden roof was beneath it.
"Ho, no." roared the Giant. watch
me draw up that gold with my crops.
I'm going to start plowing this very
day. This gold-hunting trip has been
fine-if / haven't found gold, I've at
least found the way to find it."
Gold, gold-if you're seeking gold.
Plant your crops in the spring, sir"
Roaring this new song, the Giant pick

"Y" entertainers
NEEDED IN FRANCE

While certain branches of the work
the National War Work Council OF
the Y. M. C. A. has been doing for some
time are being curtailed, one type OF
service is being called upon for more
cooperation than ever before. AL
though for some time there have been
approximately 400 to 500 entertainers
in France. many difficulties have sur
rounded this type of service and the
thousands of shows which have been
given in France have only been put
over in spite of almost superhuman
difficulties Now, however, with the
period OF rehabilitation forcing upon
the Army new problems has real
spirit of cooperation been shown by
the Army authorities. Therefore, Cen
eral Pershing has detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own STAFF, to act as
entertainment officer for the A. e. f..
which position places him as the liai-
son officer between the Army and the
"Y" Entertainment Bureau In Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be-
ing taken over, mechanics supplied by
the Army are putting them into opera
ton and the "Y" is producing shows.
given by soldier talent alone. and also
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the personnel of all of which must be
recruited from this country.
Owing to the large number Of men
in the Army with entertainment abil
ity. no effort is being made to send
men from this side. Women. however
are wanted for these positions in large
numbers. 126 must be sent out from
this country every month, which will
require the cooperation Of everyGre
cruiting agency throughout the coun
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms, Life. Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation, and allow
$4,000 per month for living expenses
In France.
The women should be preferably be
tween the ages of 20 and 80, neat and
attractive and possessed of q pro
nounced ability in their particular line
The field for entertainment now
reaches from the coast towns in
France right up and into Germany, fol
while the "Y'' cannot do much with
the Army of Occupation in the way Of
Canteen, it can supply entertainment
and is doing SO on an increasingly
large scale. Information may be OBJ

The decline in the prices OF the
necessities of life as we'll as of labor
are both proving slow and gradual,
which is probably the better way for
sharp and sudden breaks might cause
business disaster and multiplicity
of great strikes and Industrial dis
turbances but we will all welcome
the day of cheaper commodities and
stability of prices as well for labor
though it means a measured lower
scale of figures as then more sure
calculations and plans for living can
be made.

VICTORY LOAN WILL
PUT COUNTRY BACK
ON PEACE BASIS
Billions Needed To Pay Produc-
ers And Teach Manned
Soldiers New Trades.

Once in a while someone asks:
What's the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the wars over?"
Officials of the War Loan organiza-
ton in this district have replied by
outlining some of the purposes for
which money will be needed by the
Government next spring.
1t is shown that the amount raised
by the Fourth Liberty Loan lasted
only until December first Expendi-
lures are going on now at the rate
of nearly two billion, dollars month
There will be gradual reduction of
treasury disbursements as the war
debts are wiped out. The revenue
from taxes will not be sufficient to
pay all the bills, so the people will be
called upon to provide the money by
subscribing to Government bonds. The
issue will be for not more than six
billion dollars.
Pay Day at Home.
This enormous outlay of money Is
going to pay off the army of produc-
ers at home-the farmers, merchants,
manufacturers and others. America
had just begun to fight when the Hun
decided it was time to quit. Allied
leaders expected the war to last an
other year and the United States Gov
eminent was turning out ships, arms,
ammunition and food with view to
overwhelming Germany next fall.
Treasury officials have revealed that
America would have had tank at the
front for every seventy-five feet of the
line in 1919--thirty thousand tanks,
We would have had ten tons of mus
tard gas ready for shipment for every
| ton Germany could produce. Thou
sands of batteries of guns would have
been in action for every one America
had in 1918. Everything else was be-
ing produced in proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
| thousands of lives. Victory Bonds will
pay for this work which had been CON
tracted for and was being delivered
when the armistice was signed.
Army Being Demobiixed.
| There are other purposes for which
money is needed.
| Part of our army of two million men
must be kept in Europe until the peace
treaty is signed. These soldiers must
be fed, clothed and otherwise main
tanned Then they must be brought
home. The sick and wounded must
be cared for in hospitals. The army
must be demobilized. There are thou
sands of manned soldiers, heroes Of
the great war, who must be taught
selfsupporting trades and given ar
opportunity to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must be
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to- win the wal
must supply it also to bring the nation
back to peace basis.
