Your Attitude Toward the Future

from the savings of former years. More capital is available today for the financing of legitimate business than ever before in the history of the na- tion. Moreover, it must be remem- bered for at least two years prior to the entrance of this country into war American business enjoyed un- precedented prosperity, with enormous profits, untaXed beyond the normal levies.
 In affecting the savings by means of which they bought Liberty bonds, the American people learned the les sons of thrift, the benefits of which will be felt by our children and our children's children. The billion-dol- lar indemnity which Bismarck levied, in the belief that it would keep France prostrate, rejuvenated France and en- abled her to become the chief stumb- ling-block to Germany's dream of world domination. So Americas war debt, if rightly viewed and rightly handled, should make for the con- tentment and prosperity of our peo- ple.. To see in it an obstacle to busi- ness progress is to see ghosts and hobgoblins and other things which have no existence outside the realms of our fancy.

WHAT THE GERMANS DID
(Ernest H. Abbo tt in the Outlook.)

I saw in one day was enough to leave me physically and mentally numb by early dusk. The days are short in northern France in December, and by 3:3O or in the afternoon the light is fading, and soon afterwards the long twilight sets in. At the hour, or more than one day, as the car sped past demolished buildings and vast ed fields, I found myself actually dozing, for it was no longer possible for me to keep my attention fixed on the monotony of destruction. Hour follows hour; crumbling house sue ceeds crumbling house; the desolated field one sees at one moment is as dear as the desolated field one has seen the moment before. The only thing that can then shock one into alert attention is something normal and living-a farm that seems habi- table, a village with people really living in it; and by that time it is dark and nothing is visible.

GOLF CLUBS WITH
 SHAFTS OF STEEL

Of special interest to golf players is club made with steel instead, of a hickory shaft, shown in the March Popular Mechanics Magazine, which, it is claimed, possesses all the flexibility of the wooden shaft and has additional desirable features. The steel shaft is hollow, tapers toward the lower end, and is much smaller n diameter than one of hickory. This is said to give the player ad- ditional driving power, because of re- duced lfriction when the club is swung through the air.

AMERICA, RICHEST
 NATION OF WORLD

Uncle Sam has become the worlds greatest caption of industry. Here are the figures:
 We have per cent of the worlds population.
 We own z per cent of the worlds land.
 But we produce 70 per cent of the worlds copper.
 We produce 66 per cent of the worlds oil.
 We raise 60 per cent of all cotton raised.
 We produce 33 per cent of the worlds silver.
 We dig 52 per cent of all coal used.
 We mine 40 per cent of iron and steel, 20 per cent of the worlds gold.
 We manufacture S5 per cent of all motor cars manufactured and oper- ate 40 per cent of the worlds rail- roads.
 We grow 25 per cent of the worlds wheat. Now Europe owes the United States ten billion dollars.
 In two years we shall have pass ed England as shipbuilder.
 All we have to go to the wall is to become a junker nation, with no other than material ambitions. He whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
 But let's not do that. Let's be sensible and decent and thankful that we are so fortunately situated. And let's try to make the best use of our combined wealth so that every body will be prosperous and educat- ed and comfortable and happy.

By CARTER GLASS, Secretary of The Treasury.

A thing difficult of understanding is the reactionary spirit which, in some quarters, seems to have seized holf of American business. It mani fests itself in a gloomy and pessi- mistic view of the future in no way justified by conditions present or discernible, and in a disposition to cavil at the further expenditures the government is under the necessity of making in order to liquidate the war.
 Instead of days of dark foreboding these should be days of rejoicing, of confidence and of high resolve. Amer ica is least injured of any of the na- tions which took active part in the death grapple with autocracy on the soil of France and Flanders. Our fields have not been devastated, our homes and factories have not been razed, famine does not stalk among us. In all material things the na- tion is richer and stronger than it was before we went to war.
 Is the American spirit less courage ous than is the spirit of the French or of the Belgians? France, sorrow | Ing, put ullQdullIeu, Has ocI eiOouC W repair the wreck the ruthless invad- CT wrouoht, and refuses to view the future darkly. Belgian, stripped of all save honor, looks forward to the day when a greater nation will arise on the ruins of the old. Shall America, then, bend and groan under the imaginings of a burden which it should bear lightly, if felt at all?
 Sight never should be lost of the fact that Americas war debt is sub- stantially all owed to the American people. Money to meet the interest charges on it and eventually to pay off the principal will flow back to 1 the sources whence it came. A na- tional debt of this character is not a burden to cripple future business.
 It should be kept in mind also that the issues of Liberty bonds were paid for, or are being paid for, almost en. tirely by the current savings of the people. There was no impairment o1 the capital which had accumulated

Now, if the damage which the Ger man people have done to their neig h. bors had been merely to destroy the Cloth hall at Ypres or to ruin half dozen of these quaint and picturesque villages, it would have been incalcul- able. But what they have done is to create a desolation so vast that it is simply impossible even for one who has seen it, or considerable part of it, to comprehend it's enormity.

FULL OF WATER,
 BOAT STILL FLOATS

A life-boat is shown in the March Popular Mechanics Magazine which cannot be sunk by any ordinary means. It is made by fastening blocks of buoyant composition to the sides of a folding frame, making the boat collapsible for storage or shipment. The sides, of flexible ma terial, are attached to the keel and to the stern and bowstems, which latter are pivodted at the ends of the keel to allow movement as the sides are expanded or collapsed. A test model with several plugged holes in the bottom was loaded with three passengers and 800 pounds of lead. When the plugs were withdrawn the boat filled with water and settled slightly, but large portion of its bulk remained above the water line.

Should Be c Memorial

Just now every member of the legislature from counties having men killed in action in France is asking for the appropriation of monies to build a memorial of some description in his home town. And as nearly every town in the state was the home of a hero it surely would break the state to build memorials, and to Obviate this, condition Repre- sentative Waters of this county has suggested that a state me- mOrial be erected in the capital grounds at PhOneix. We believe this suggestion to be one of the best offered, as it could be done on a scale that would be a last ing tribute to the brave.

A watch provided with a gas mask was found on a German soldier who was taken prisoner shortly before the cessation of hostilities, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. A false case with a glass front is so con- structed that when it is closed, with the watch inside, no corrosive enemy gas can enter the works and injure the delicate mechanism.

A critic says this picture will make a tremendous hit. The realism of the wild snow country action, ear biting off, leg breaking fight of men, will hold you in suspense.

Bargains i'm Bonds

Nothing is easier than to get rid
of Liberty bonds, and the public
seems to be taking full advantage OF
that fact Everywhere the market
S flooded with bonds. Special places
are opened to buy them. Goods are
offered in exchange for them. Above
al, stock certificates are offered fol
them. And the public bites more
aargerly than ever, despite the
widely published fact that in the
past year about $500,OO0O0O of good
money has been paid for fraudulent
or worthless stocks.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
judged it necessary the other day to
issue another warning.
when Liberty bond holders are
urged to give up their securities,
he said, for stocks of speculative
character, good sense suggests the
presumption that the offer is made
because the Liberty bonds arc
worth decidedly more than the stock
Experience in great number OF
cases shows that the stock is worth
less. and the bond owner who makes
the exchange is simply a victim to
the army of sharpers who find easy
booty in these days Of reckless spe-
culation."
When bonds are sold or traded
in such volume as they have
been lately, naturally the quoted
price of such securities drops. That
disturbs millions of bond owners,
and tends to accelerate the selling
movement and lower the price still
further.
The bonds are of course as good
as ever. They produce as large a
percentage of income as ever. Any
body who buys war bond of any
issue, at present prices, get bar
gain. Especially is it a bargain
when compared with most Of the
other securities which investors
nowadays seem so eager to buy.
The wise man today is the one
who keeps on saving as he did dur
ing the war, and spends all he can
save in buying more of these war
bonds at the prices now current

The Best Part Of the Paper

Much as the editor would like tC
have his readers feel that the editor
ial column is the best part of the pa
per, strict regard for. the truth com
pels him to state that it is not. Per
|haps the most useful, informative
and interesting part of the paper
day by day, week by week and yeal
by year is it's advertising.
Experiments have often been tried
with adless papers. They never
worked. People do not want to reat
adiess papers. This is particularly
true of women, who are purchasing
agents for the family corporations.
But it is also true of the man who
wants a better job, and the man who
wants more skillful employe. II
is true of the woman who wants tc
know the. most advantageous day te
purchase new suit for herself OF
linoleum for the kitchen, and it is
true of man who Is thinking OF
substituting course in physical
training for cocktails as an appeti-
zer. 1t is true of the student who
wants to know what show to take
his girl TO.
1t is true of the man who is read
to buy d big, powerful automobile D
tractor; is true of the young coupl5
who are only beginning to think Of
the time when they can invest in a
ancient flivver.
1t is true of economists who want
TO know of the state of the labor
market; and of builders and minis
ters and small boys.
Art, manufacturers, human in
terest, science, invention, thrift
fire prevention, education, religion
old clothes, are all recorded in th
advertising pages. Dig up the file
of thirty years ago and compar,
