at that plant during May, 1918. and TO
whom credit balances/are due on their

bonds. Several hundred OF these men
have partly paid for their bonds. and
have stopped. They may be under the
wrong impression that since circum-

SOME UNUSUAL ARITHMETIC

Before Christmas days arrive the
people of the United States will re-
ceive in interest on Liberty Bonds
$458,0OO,O00. They bought the
bonds in a spirit of patriotism and
now find it an investment, as well as
debt which they must eventually
discharge. No usurer receives the
interest or had any part in fixing it.
Our own citizens own the bonds, and
now with an agreeable feeling, cut
the coupons. Many citizens bought
bonds "until it hurt, often making
sacrifices and exercising unwonted
economy. But how well it pays.
If those who receive interest in the
months remaining Of this year so
elect they will be paid in War Saw
ings Stamps instead of cash, an OPP
Grafton by which they obtain COM
pound interest. Now here is a pleas
ing and interesting problem in math-
ematics. The debtors are also cred
itors. The debts are also invest
ments. Much of the money saved
would not have been saved but for
the admirable response to the Lib
erty Bond calls. In dealing with
this problem, what is the complete
answerf The complexity of it is
evident, but all is commendable.
More remains to be said. The
money was spent in an unavoidable
war; We won the war. The country
was called upon to prove the index-
lille courage of its manhood and
womanhood. The result was in
keeping with the best traditions of
the greatest republic. Militiarism
went down. Frighthilness was in
domitably faced and smashed. A
terrible menace was ended. On the
whole, future peace among the ma

Financially the war is not over;
billions in capital are needed to re-
store the working world to peace.
1t is easy to understand that war;
wrecked Europe cries out for mon
cy, but that America, although free
from the havoc, needs unbelievable
sums to finance her own prosperity
is not sufficiently understood. An
enormous crop is to be moved and
our export trade, if it is to go on,
must be financed.
Capital is needed to recover from
the shortage of materials. Even with
full speed ahead it vii take years to
overtake the shortage caused by five
years of war. Any solution of the
worlds needs means capital in an
enormous flow. Such a flow can be
furnished only by the people. The
banks alone cannot do it. They are
simply the repositories Of the peo-
pies money. The people themselves
must be tested to their full capacity
in order to provide the funds need
ed. The savings of millions Of Am
orleans can supply the capital for
the work ahead
1t is readily conceded that ration
al Thrift in Citizens makes for sta
bility in business and government,
but that it can be made to supply
stream of business capital is not so
universally understood. To make
this clear, one may consider all
America as one great factory and
al citizens workmen in this factory.
Picture all of thse workmen putting
part of their earnings back into the
business either through the purchase
of government securities or through

BANKS HELP FARMERS

In certain sections of Kentucky
the farmer is able to buy ground
limestone even in ton lots at excep-
tionally low figures. This is made
possible by wide awake bankers who
are buying limestone in carload lots
so that the farmer may have it at the
lowest possible price. Wherever
bankers are pursuing this plan the
farmers are certain to learn very
rapidly the tremendous value Of
ground limestone even on their most
fertile fields.

JUNIORS PLAN TO Be
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
TO WORLD CHILDREN

TITLE brothers and sisters to
all the children OF the world
that's what the school boys
and girls Of America are going
to be called from now on. The Junior
Membership department of the Red
Cross has a plan which win gather
them all into this relationship. Even
the smaller Riddles will be included.
In central Europe 100000 children
are starving 900 are hungry and
homeless In Petrograd alone Sixty
per cent Of the membership fees are
to be sent to National Headquarters
for National Children's Fund to re-
lieve suffering throughout the world.
In America, in smaller numbers,
there are children in need of help.
These unfortunatss are not to be for
gotten while the orphans of France
and Belgium are receiving aid. The
remaining forty per cent of the Junior
fees, as well as any additional money
raised by the school children, Is to be
expended for community activities.
Under this head there are many
classes. Crippled children are to be
found In almost any town, and the
Juniors will help them to buy crutches
or artificial hands and legs. Little
folks In need Of hospital or medical
care win have American Red Cross
Juniors ready to foot the bills II the
fathers aren't able to pay the ex-
penses.
Junior auxiliaries will try to furnish
diversion for the children who live In
orphanages and for the shut-ins. The
ideal Of the organization Is to estab-
lish international understanding and
good will among all children: to pro
vide motives for purposeful school ac-
tivities. and to carry out ideals and
habits Of service.
