not sufficient to hold and the jury

SHARKS OUT OF WATER
Government Puts Two Of Them In
~Penitentiafy for Shady
Stock Dealing.

New schemes for inducing the in
Vesting public to part with its saw
ings, its Liberty Bonds and VA Saw
Ings Stamps in exchange for stocks of
speculative or doubtful value con-
stantly are being developed. One of
the latest of these was disclosed re-
Gently in the trial of Ellsworth J.
Green and his son, E. H. Green, at
Oklahoma City. This particular
scheme was the means of landing the
Greens in Leavenworth Prison for
fjye-year terms, but not until many
hundreds of investors lost their saw
Iugs.
The Greens, through the Great
Western Guarantee Investment Com
pany Of Oklahoma City, promoted five
oil companies. The original sales
price Ct the stock in these companies
was 500 a share, but by resale agree
mont purchasers were guaranteed
that the Great Western Company as
fiscal agent would resell the stock if
desired at the end of six months to
net the investor $500 a share or a
profit of 100 per cent.
As the date to fulfill this agreement
drew near. stockholders were advised
that the price of the stock had
reached $500 a share. Naturally if
they came to believe the stock was
worth $500 they declined to accept
the opportunity to sell for $500
For a time stock statesmen reaped
rich commissions, but finally rumors
that the reports we're misleading be-
gan to spread. At 4 company banquet
al Oklahoma City it was charged that
the Greens attempted to sell out to
the statesmen. At this point the gov
eminent stepped in, arrested the pro-
moters and began to unravoi evidence
which firally landed the Greens in
prison on the charge OF using the mails
to defraui. Now the stockholders are
attempting to save what is left OF
the assets Of the companies.
Promises of profits of 100 to SOC
percent made by stock promoters sell
dom become realities. The country is
being flooded with wild cat stocks by
u~nscrupuicus investors. The resale
plan Of the Greens is only Il of the
many varieties of bait used. Any OF
these promoters are willing and anx
ious to take Liberty BOad5 or Wal
Savings stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates in exchange for their bits
of paper. They are perfectly willing
TO give promise Of profits for the SURE
payment guaranteed by the fedora
government.
Investments in government SAVING
securities and Liberty BOnis are safe
sure and profitable, The investor no
only is guaranteed against loss, bu
he is assured that money so invested
will go toward solving the economic
problems with which all are faced ant
In making the country greater ant
more prosperous instead of seeing
his savings go to provide luxuries ant
an easy living for dishonest promot
ers.

NICKELS TO FLlVVERS
(Dr. Burris Jenkins in Kansas City
Post.)

(Dr. Burris Jenkins in Kansas City
Post.)
Here is a news dispatch sent to
The Post by j. W. Pattee, who serves
The Post as correspondent at Smith
Center, Kas.-that is, Mr.. Pattee sent
it as a news dispatch, but concealed
between its lines there is such a Won
derful text for a sermon on thrift that
the contribution is being borrowed
from the news department. But
You're beginning to wonder what
this is all about, anyway, so go ahead
and read:
Smith Center, Kas., Oct. 17.-When
the government f st began making
nickels with busTl,0 heads on one
side, Mrs. G.. P. Ehly Of Mankato,
Kas., started sewing every buffalo
nickel that came into her possession.
She made a practice of dropping such
nickels into a chute that ran from
her kitchen to a wooden box in the
cellar. A few days ago she took an
invoice and found that she had $4,000
coins, a~ggregating $500. Her husband
had long pinned for a "%flivver." Now
he's got the "fliyver."
Isn't that an impressive demonstrs-
tion Of the value of saving small
things?
Doesn't it prove how easy it is fol
US to save money if we try?
Just figure, for a minute, what the
result would have been if dimes haC
been used instead of nickels. or quar-
tiers instead of dimes. Moreover
while we are about it, let's estimate
how many, many uickels, dimes anC
quarters we turn loose without get
ting anything tangible to show where
the money went.
Remember now, it hasn't been Sc
very many years since the first buf
falo nickel was coined, and further
more, bear in mind that The Kansas
woman who amassed 500 worth o
nickels did not handle any large ag
gregate of money from which to e1
tract her small coin savings.
1t all goes to show that We fritte
away more money each year than W
are aware of, unless we stop an
take invoice of ourselves and our Re
sources, and it further impresses W
on US the truth of the old saying tina
it isn't so much what we mako, a
what we saw hat counts.
We were taught thrift during III
war, Now that the war is over, SUI
pose we practice what we learre
about thrift, and let's extract a lesso
from the example set US by the Kal
sas m

FIGHTING THE H. C. OF E.
Economy Is a Point of View Just
as Extravaganza Is.

The national bugaboo, the III. c. Of
L." has become the H. c. or e., the
"E" representing Everything" and
numerous authorities have laid down
tactics for fighting it. Among the
best are those from the pen of
Thomas L. Mason, appearing in the
Country Gentleman, as follows.
Economy in a household consists
in minimizing the nonessentials. That
is, economic in the things you don't
need, and the things you do need will
take care of themselves. Remember
this that if you are on the right road
what you don't need today is often
what you thought you must have yes
terday. Economy is a point of view
just as extravaganza is. No matter
who you are OF what you do, you can
happy. Those people who are always
worrying about money are the ones
who are always wanting things they
don't need, Here are a few rules
that members of every household
should keep in mind
THE more you want a particular
thing the more you should wait until
the day after tomorrow before getting
it.
Making an impression on others il
sften robbing the future; beside, il
some mysterious name everybody
knows when you are doing things tina
you cannot afford.
PAY the highest for the best, no
the lowest for the worst.
When you shrink from knowing
where you stand you iced a guardian
"The things that money buys are in
cidental when you cannot afford Il
buy them.
when you find it necessary Il
economic on having the right kint
OF good time, then there is something
wrong with your system.
Buy what you can't afford onl
when you can afford it,"

CELEBRATE ARMIsTIcE DAY.
Tenth District Asked to go over the
! Top Again for w. s.. S.

! Going over the top" came to be a
wartime habit in the United States
just as it did with the doughboys in
France. 1t is a hard habit to curb and
in order to keep in practice the Saw
ings Organization of the Tenth Fed
eral Reserve District has launched a
campaign which will give each com
munity an opportunity to "go over
again on Armistice Day and thereby
celebrate a year Of peace.
Each community is given a very
small quota through its banks, and in
rVestors are being urged to order from
500 to $1,000 in new Savings Certifi-
Gates which bear the same interest
and privileges as the War Savings
Stamps, recognized by investors az
the best security offered.
The campaign is intended, not only
to raise a few millions for the govern
ment. but to give individuals an op
portunity to receive a maximum re
turn on small amounts OF savings
Small investors may help subscribe
the quota by purchasing War Savings
4Stamps at any ~postoffice.

SOAP BRIBE. FREES AMERICAN
Private Released From German Prison
Camp After Gift to One Of
the Guards.

Coblenz.-Half a cake of soap, used
as a bride, opened the road to liberty
for an American soldier who recently
rejoined his regiment after being i'm
prisoned in Germany.
William Litch, a private in the Twen-
ty-sixth infantry, was captured October
4 during the fighting in the Argonne
and taken to a prison camp let Ba-
den. From another American who had
received q prisoners package Litch
procured a piece of soap not much larg-
er than his thumb.
A few nights before the signing Of
the armistlce Litch gave the soup to
q German prison camp guard and
stepped out of the stocKade a free man.
He began travelling by night and hiding
by day, but before he reached the
front he was overtaken by other re-
leased American prisoners, who told
him Of the armistice.

APOSTLES NOW N LONG
AGO. .

The apostles Of old were plain fish
ermen, common labOrers who felt
driven to carry a new gospel to men.
Society in Europe and America IL
larSely buildsd on their work. They
stood for real ideas, new thoughts and
new life.
Today \ new set Of apostles have ar
rived on the scene. They claim to be
carriers Of u new gospel which shall
make mankind happy. A real re-
former, an hopest enthusiast, no mat.
ter II he Is mistaken, 10 always In
teresting, providing he Is honest and
really unselfsh. May we not compare
these two sets Of apostles? The old
apostle said: Gold and silver We
have not but we bring you peace"
Also Love We one another" The new
apostles say: Hand over your gold and
silver by the million, hand over your
business, don't listen to the other fell
lows, get the money. Lie like u damn
ed horssthief to the people but get tho
money" Also: Never trust your
n%eighbor, he may be the agent Of your
enemy" And the new gospel? Con-
suit The Courier-News aud you will
find it edging around and defending
Russian Bolshevism. Not a number
but hints at Bolshevism being better
than represented. What is Bolshe-
vism?
l. Any crowd that has arms and
men enough ssizes the Government.
Just like old time savages.
2. No property, for those who have
saved and built up. Take it away.
Just like old time savages.
3. Communize women. That ia
make prostitutes Of them, without
their consent. Worse than any saw
ages op record.
4. Destroy the home. All savages
have had the home as q nucleus OF
beginning civilization.
5. XIII the educated and destroy
the Church. Savages would disown
such apostles.
6. Seize all lands In the name Of
q robber government.
Without vote or consent of the gov
erned, just like savagss Of the old
tribal days, when the land belonged to
those who could drive others away.
Summary; No home, no church, no
property, nc voice In government.
Only proletariat Il. e., mob) At to rule.
No education. Just the beast left.
And for this program The Courier
News is continually edging in words
Of defense. Fine dope for North Da-
kOta people, amt it?

seeing the greed Of the wsp to do and
how this greed came to grief. as all

he crossed u bridge. Seeing his image

also the other dogs bone. he dropped
his own and plunged in after the

ceremonies had been arranged and the
hour of arrival was uncertain, I'M

The only indication that something
unusual was happening was the pres
ence of massed bands which played:
"See, the C%onquering Hero Comes,"
as the men left their train. Gen.

district, welcomed the battalion in be-
half Of the king, and then the guards

WHO'S FRED?

When poor old John Ogden was
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction, Fred Cathro was his deputy.
John was old, impractical and a
dreamer. Fred was young and prac-
tical and has always claimed the
credit for John Ogden's administra-
ton. OF course much has been done
towards organizing the States school
affairs by Captain Mitchell, who died,
but much was left to do. AS Secre-
tary Of the Board of University and
School Lands, John Ogden, alias Fred
Cathro, aided and abetted in paying
to outside bankers yer $4,000 in pre-
miums on school lands on a basis of 4
percent. while they charged our own
districts 6 percent interest. This was
was rotten and helped the Populists
to kick John, Fred and all others out
Of Office in 1892. Fred withdrew to
the banking field. Here he organized
the State Bankers Association, the or
g%anization that Townely and his st.
Paul orators have poured their walls
Of wrath on during the past year.
Nothing stimulated their holy anger to
such flights Of fancy as the Bankers
Association. All last campaign Fred
Cathro's creation was damned from
the Badlands to the Red as bitter
enemies Of the organized farmers
And, now, this same Fred Cathro is
"oraanizing" the State Bank, hired by
Waters, who was made by Frazier,
who was made by Townley. In sack
