SELLING THE NEXT BONDS.
IL Won't Be So Easy Perhaps, But
the Government Must Have the
Money to Complete War
Aims.

The time of the Victory Libert,
loan canvass approaches. The gov
eminent has something of a problem
on its hands. 1t was a comparatively
easy matter to sell the bonds when
the boys were suffering and dying in
the trenches. The most stupid OF
selfish man could then see that
everyone must back up the govern
ment. But now that the war is over
there will be a strong sentiment OF
Let George do it," Yet the govern
ment must have the money to com
plete the aims for which it went to
war.
The people must make their
choice. They must take up this new
issue, or pay the remaining costs of
the war in taxes. If the bonds can't
be sold, then the existing taxes,
great as they are, will be far too low.
There is of course another means
of inducing the people to take the
loan. If the people won't take up
a Sufficient quantity of the bonds di-
rect from the government, they can
be placed through brokers, who of
course would expect a fair commits
sion. That will be heavy bill event
ually to be paid by the people.
1t is generally admitted that the
bonds must be offered at somewhat
more favorable terms to float them
The proposal for short term notes is
a good one, as people dislike to see
money tied up for such long periods.
A short term security would not
slump so far down below par as the
previous issues have done.
1t will be better policy for the
government to be fairly liberal in the
matter of interest, than to sell the
bonds through the brokers at large
commission. When securities con-
sidered perfectly good are selling to
net and per cent, it is not very
easy to sell issues to the people net
ting only 4& or Y 1t would seem
good policy to offer the bonds at a
price that would float them at par
even if it took as much as ga per
cent. Probably that would be suf-
ticient rate to dispose of the whole
issue.

Who Wants to be an Official?

One farmer says it is costing him
fourteen dollars a week to board his
children in New Hampton while they
go to school. If he had a road he
could bring them in the five miles in
his car and be back in half an hour
and the same at night. He says his
farm would be worth fifty dollars an
acre more the minute a hard surfac-
ed road goes by his place. He is
right, too. The trouble is, each man
doesn't want such a road to go by
anybody else's place unless it goes
by his too. Any official who attempts
to pick where the hard roads shall
be might as we'll get ready to retire
from oflice.-New Hampton Gazette.

IOWAN HAS FRENCH BRIDE.
GAINESVILLE Man Brings Home French
Girl Whom He Married Last
April.

Clarksville, Ia.--Meet Mrs. FloyC
e. Hodson, who has just arrived a
GAINESVILLE from her home in Franc
under the protection of her husband
Mr.. Hodsdon left Clarksville in
March, 1917, for France, represent
ing the International Harvester com.
Z pany. His work was setting up. dem.
onstrating and repairing tractors and
teaching the farmers how to use
them. In order to encourage the far
mers to use the tractors, the French
government pays half of the pur-
chase price of tractor where an as
ISOLATION of seven or more is formed
of farmers to buy one.
The brides name was Germaine
Padrolean. She was born in Nantes,
France, in the department of Loire
Infieruere. Nantes is an old town
with about 10000 inhabitants on
the Loire river, twenty miles up the
river from st. Nazaire, where so
many of the American forces landed
In 1912, Mrs. Hadsdon began to
work for the International Har-
vester company at Nantes, and as
the manager and assistant and some
of the others were Americans, she
soon learned to speak the English
language. She worked there until
last year, and as stenographer she
took dictation in either English or
French.
1t was there that the two met,
and as they became better acquain-
ted, their friendship ripened into
love, and they were married April %.
1918, about year after he arrived
in France.
Before an American can marry a
French girl, if the parties are under
80, the parents consent has to be
secured.
The marriage banns have to be
published two weeks in advance,
and announced publicly three times
in the church. 1t is also necessary
to furnish a birth certificate.
Mrs. Hodsdon finds conditions
very different here than in her
country. She says that the meals
here are mostly dessert compared
with the simple French meals o.
meat, bread and vegetables. Cakes,
pies, pancakes, prepared breakfast
foods, sauces, ETC., are mostly I'M
known there. ..
Her opinion of the American
housewife is that she goes to a 81 eat
deal of unnecessary work and trouble
in preparing such a variety Of things
to eat, and all put into separate
dishes, which makes so much dish
washing.
In France each person is served
with a soup plate, large spoon. a
table fork (using your own jack
knife. A large bowl of soup, a plate
of meat and vegetables and large
loaf of bread are then set on the
table, which is usually covered with
an oilcloth, and in that way they can
get a good hearty meal with a mini
mum of homework.
Most of the cooking is dole in
butter, as lard is almost unheard of
there, but butter is seldom served
with the bread at the table.
When Mrs. Hodsdon arrived here
she was afraid that the light buggy
in which she rode would fall to
pieces on the rough, frozen roads,
as she was used to riding in a strong
heavy cart, although the roads :here
are usually good.
