PAY INTEREST ON BONDS

Think what it means to have this
vast sum of money turned loose in
one dayI It's money for which the
people didn't work-a reward for
their thrift.
What will the people do with this
sum? If they spend it, the work Of
their money is wasted-unless they
buy war savings and thrift stamps,
Then their dollars will be doing
double duty. Interest will be max
ing more interest.
Liberty bond interest coupons
should be clipped promptly and re-
invested. Thriftless money or money
which lies idle, is of no benefit to
athe individual or to the community
1t should be put to work, where 1t
can earn the most in the safest way,
and there is no better nor safer place
of employment for money than IN
war savings and thrift stamps.
Interest coupons may be exchanged
for war savings and thrift stamps at
the postoffice. If the money is need
ed at any time, the stamps are re-
deemable on ten days notice.
The woods are full of swindlers
trying to get people to exchange
their money or Liberty bonds for all
kinds Of stock in oil wells, gold mines,
fertilizer companies, and every mag
inable sort Of proposition. It's a
mighty safe rule to invest your money
at home in something you know some
thing about. Unless you have money
to throw away, 6 per cent and safe

far-away concern. The bigger the
profits promised on proposition
the greater the prospects that you
will lose all you put into it.-Pro-

tioning the fact that she had friend
visiting her last week, We told her
that she had not let us know that she
had visitor. Then she said, well,
you should have known. | thought
you were running newspaper"
Wouldn't that rattle your Stats !?
Some people think that an editor
ought to be a cross between Argus
and Anna Eva Fay. They seem to
think that our five senses are aug
mented by a sixth that let's us know
everything that happens, even if we
see, hear, taste, feel or smell it not.
Deaf lady, editors are only human,
or at least almost human. II you
have a friend visiting you, if you are
going away or have returned from a
visit out Of town, if Johnnie falls
and breaks his arm, if your husband
chops his toe instead of stick of
weed, if anything happens to make
you glad, sad, happy or mad, call US
NJ. Tell us about it. That's the
way to get it in the paper-Dyers-

HAVE NOT GIVEN UP
DAYLIGHT REPEAL BILL

Washington, July 15.-Repeal Of
the daylight saving law, believed set
tied yesterday by the House in sus-
tanning the presidents veto Of repeal
legislation, was reopened today at a
conference between leaders of the
Senate and House agricultural COM
mittees.
Senate leaders insisted on another
vote by the House on the rider to the
agricultural bin to repeal the day
light saving act. The matter viii be
considered tomorrow by the House
agricultural committee.
The House committee, members
said, probably win send to the House
precisely the same bill that was re-
jeeted by the president. The rules
committee then would be asked to
prepare a resolution making the
rider in order.
Senate leaders at their conferences
today with Chairman Haugen, Of the
House, declared effort on the floor
yesterday to pass the bill over the
veto was halfhearted and that those
in charge Of the measure had failed
to point out the insistent demand
from farmers for elimination Of the
summer time schedule. Mr.. Haugen
said later he did not know what
chance there might be to repeal the
bill, but that the effort would be
made.
In the event that they fail to re-
peal the daylight saving law, House
committee members said they would
introduce a bill making it operative
five instead of seven months of the
year in the hope this plan might
meet the approval of the House.
should another vote not be obtained
in the Senate Senator Gronna, Of
the Senate agriculture committee,
said he was ready to hold up the
agricultural bill indefinitely and hold
extensive hearings on the daylight
measure.

 The reaese of the ban gold movements marks a long step toward restoring normal trade relations in the word also the normal status in the exchanges that finance its balances, provided for in the si- Eolshevik regions But the full effects will not fol- low until economic conditions in the European tries are improved and they gradually relax their own restrictions on gold movements. The more im- mediate influence will be upon transactions between ourselves and the neutrals. To them shall lose some gold.
 Our policy is in line with the ''unpegging' of the Continental exchanges here in March, a move toward substituting natural for artificially controlled conditions. The European currencies still at such discount here, following the with drawal of Government support, that no pronounced commercial flow of gold hther is to be expected; !; nor is it at all desired.
 AS has happened however, in the case of England which has already sent $1S,0O0000 gold very lately and may send good many millions hith- CT it may become expedient for some of these Eur- opean countries to make considerable remittances gold that the end our Governmental credits is at hand, and wholesale inauguration of commer- cial credits is still matter of theorizing only.
 Such gold imports-reluctantly spared abroad would not be heartily welcomed here in high bank

 Our dollar shared in the burden upholding the value and prestige of European currencies during time. Much of the adverse effect, measured in de preciation in neutral capitals has since disappeared Only in South America, Japan and Spain is there any marked vestige remaining.
