Uncle Sans Money Looks Mighty Good
to Soldier Boys.

Just how good American money
looks to man away from home is
illustrated in the story told by one of
those boys in khaki who fought In
France, in the war for the preserva
ton of civilization and who afterwards
saw service across the border in Ger
many.
Sergt. H. H. Coffee was attached to
Company G, 54th Infantry and for six
months was at Frier, Germany, 80
miles from Luxembourg. Now he is
back in old Missouri and fills a desk
at the Western Newspaper Union.
"While we were in France" says
Sergt. Coffee, tive were paid in French
money. And afterwards, when we
we're in Germany, we we're paid in
German money.
"The difference in the French and
German money, as compared with
United States money is amazing. 1t
is printed on white paper, of an in
ferior quality, and one gets an awful
wad of it for comparatively small
quantity Of American money.
"When we got this foreign stuff the
boys were very liberal with it. They
would gamble with it, would lend il
and handle it very carelessly. But

WHEN the g. o. p. congressman di-
late upon war ''ineficiency" under
our Democratic administration, they
may save themselves from ridicule by
recalling little Republican military
history in the zoos. At st. Mihiel more
than one million shells were fired by
our army in four hours. Comparing
it with Gettysburg emphasizes the
magnitude of the st. Mihiel operation
At st. Mihiel, $4,000 Americans we're
engaged; at Gettysburg the Union
troops numbered approximately 1OO,-
600. In three days at Gettysburg the
Union artillery fired $4,000 shells. The
st. Mihiel offensive cost the Ameri-
cans about 1000 casualties, less thar
one third the Union losses at Gettys'
burg.

the enjoyment of which involves no
trespass on the rights of others.

Regional Bank VIII Supply.

The Federal Reserve Bank in st.
Louis has placed a large order with
the United States Treasury Depart
meGt for the new issue of S100 and
$1,000 War Savings Certificates.
Each bank in Missouri, Arkansas
and Kentucky, and through them
their customers, may be supplied with
these exceptionally attractive Gov
ernment securities.
These new securities have all of the
splendid features of War Savings
Stamps, bear the same Interest," per
cent compounded quarterly, may be
redeemed through any post office at
maturity, or before maturity, on CIV
ing ten days notice. Should neees-
sity demand the certificates may be
converted into cash at any time and
the holder will receive the full amount
paid in plus per cent interest, but II
carried to maturity, five years, the
certificate draws the full rate of in
terest, per cent, compounded quar-
terty.
No one individual may hold more
than $1,000 of any one series. Holders
of War Savings Stamps of smaller de-
nominations may convert them into
the larger denominations, and these
new certificates may be registered at
the post Office where the holder re-
sides and the security is thus addi-
tionally safeguarded.
Since the Liberty Loans are past
and with the public having learned
the advisability Of Investing their saw
ings in the safest and best Investment
lin the world-U. s. Government
Bonds-the demand for the larger siz
ed certificates have been SO insistant
that the Treasury Department caused
the new denominations to be issued.

WHO can respect and love law
which assails his dearest possession
his right to personal liberty2

The Anti-Saloon League has de-
veloped into an Anti American
League. The principle of individual
liberty for which the Fathers fought
and died is thrust aside. The sanctity
of the home is set at naught, or, would
be, if the self-constituted Reformers
could have their way, and we would
become a nation of spies and inform
ers. If you doubt this assertion, read
the bill the League has put before
Congress. viii our complaisant
legislators yield to its demands?

CALIFORNIA has no Sunday law, but
Sunday is as we'll observed there as in
any State in the Union: not because
of the fear of statutory penalties, but
by the reverence which people have
for the day. In this country, pro-
fessedly free from religious legisla-
tion, there should be no Sunday law.
Conscience alone should dictate what
men should do in matters pertaining
to spiritual life. Force never made
a Christian, but has been productive
of thousands of prosecutors and hypo-
critics.

YOUR thick and thin Prohi doesn't
hesitate to employ falsehood in his
advocacy of his moral propagations.
The ''dry" law wipes out $25, 100000
worth of property in the California
wine grape section, but that's mere
bagatelle in the eyes of men who seek
toby law-reform their stiff -necked
neighbors, who of course in justice
ought to be willing to bear the cost
thereof. But the wicked are never

A CH1cAGoAN, writing to the Chica-
90 Tribune, after visit to the SOL
diers' hospital at Benjamin Harrison
to see his wounded son, made peril
nent observation it would be well
for those who are trying to make
political capital out of their opposi-
tion to the League Of Nations on the
alleged ground of Americanism to
bear in mind. He wrote: "There
are about 1000 wounded soldiers Tin
the Fort Benjamin Harrison hospitaD
who saw service overseas. While
there, 1 heard enough-from the
wounded soldiers-to convince me
that any man In public life who takes
stand against the proposed League
of Nations will most assuredly be re-
tired to private life. All the
wounded men with whom I talked
feel that the President is trying to do
something for humanity. They know
what war really is, and are anxious
for universal peace. Y Talk to
the soldiers, more especially to those
who have been wounded or gassed,
and they will tell you, as they told me;
sWe have had all the war we want.
We want peace.' And that is what
President Wilson crossed the sea for
to bring about peace-internationa
peace-peace for all people,"

endure these losses for what is held to
be a social benefit should be fully

precedent. Let the wicked do the

PARTNERS, MUTUAI.S TO SHARE
BIG FIRE LOSS

The State Association Of Farmers
Mutual Insurance Companies at it's an
nual convention in Minneapolis, De-
cember II and Is, voted unanimously
to come to the relief of the companies
that suffered disaster in the recent for
est fires in northeastern Minnesota.
Three companies in the fire district:
The Carlton, the Finnish Local, and the
Windemere, suffered loses of approx
imately 100000, and would be. unable
to pay their loses without assistance
from the l6O local companies in Min
nesota and their $4,000 policy holders
Each local company is asked to con
tribute rs cents for each 81 900 of in
surance. Such an assessment will raise
ample funds to meet the losses OF the
farmers mutual insurance companies.
Every officer and policy holder should
take it upon himself to make certain
that his company promptly r;atifies the
action Of the State Association.-A. D
