THE FIRST THOUSAND

When a man gets thousand dol.
lars saved up there are always oppor-
tunities for good investment 1t Is
hard to place much less than that.
That is why wealthy men who are self
made advise young men to begin
early and save the first thousand.
Until we went to war, in order to
get a thousand dollars together one
had to go to the bank and put little
away each month or each week or
tuck part OF his salary away in an
old sock. 1t was troublesome to go
to the bank and the sock was too
handy.
Now, however, there is an easy way

is WAY BACK
TO NORMAL
BY Carl Plehn, Professor Of Finance,
University Of California

or course the war upset business
1t increased some lines such as wal
munitions but decreased common,
everyday peace lines. The only pos
sible way back to normal is to build
UP common business.
To get back to normal means that
we have to get capital back into those
lines OF business which have fallen
behind. If an individual has met a
great loss the only way he can make
himself whole again is by saving, by
strict economy. A country is only
lot of individuals. We have, collec-
lively, to meet the cost Of the war,
an economic loss, although a moral
gain We can meet 1t only by saw
ing.
The government is coming to US
next month with the Victory Liberty
Loan-the last of the Liberty Loans.
There are sound financial and eco
nomic reasons why the Victory Loan
should be brought again to the peo-
pie, The government could make US
save by heavy taxes right now, but 1t
prefers the less harsh and wiser
course of borrowing our savings now
and taxing on the installment plan,
little each year.

The Peanut.

Not only is the peanut valuable
human food, but it has also. great agri-
cultural possibilities. 1T is estimated
that mere thani2 100000 acres are ur.
der cultivation. The estimated yield
this year is S0,0O0,OOO bushels. All
the states south of the Tennessee
Kentucky boundary grow peanuts.
Many factories now make peanut oil
"a keen rival of cottonseed oil for
salad and cooking purposes. The oil
cake left after pressing is most ex.
cellent cattle food. 1T has distinct
advantage over cottonseed cake In
being entirely free of any toxic. in
gredient. 1t can be fed with impun-
lily to young animals. The straw is a
roughage rich IN protein and very edl-
bic, being in this respect wholly I'M

also makes good meal, giving to

Zone of Friendliness"

Loquacity has it's perils, as the Ger
mans have every reason to know. Yet
they go on talking in a fashion that onlv
accentuates the bitterness of the feeling
against them. Here is one of the Ger
man officers who came over en- the I'm
perator recalling the pleasant relations
he enjoyed with his American passen-
gers before the war, and another re-
marking that the policy of the simple
minded shippers coming hither hereafter
would be zone of friendliness" Policy is
good word in the circumstances. It
has dictated every German attempt
since the armistice to curry favor with
the people of the Allied countries. The
inslncerity of it all hardly requires
demonstration. Even the Germans have
their occasional moments of frankness,
when they reveal the fact that the old
arrogance and brutality have not denart-
ed from them.
Before German seamen. skinners mr.
crews begin to prate Of "friendiness"
they might profitaby reflect upon the
shameless and cruel deeds which have
made them Ishmaels among their fel-
lows. Some of the very men who lament
the enmity they have aroused were in
the German naval service during the
war, presumably doing their share of the
dirty work. None, of course, will admit
any personal responsibility; it would be
InIA fD <,.,,
agree that merchant commanders, many
OF them with acts Of bravery to their
credit, did not quite forget the noble

traditions Of the sea. They may con-
ceivably have felt great distaste for the
business Of sinking passenger liners
some OF them in command Of men they
had known and fraternized with in the
old days-of leaving helpless women and
children to drown, Of firing upon the
shivering survivors in open boats. Not
all Of them were guilty Of these things.
Yet in the sentence which their brethr>n
OF the sea have pronounced against than
as class it is impossible to discriminate.
Germany may regain in time that
place on the sea she made so many des-
perate efforts to win, though that hardly
will be in our day. She may find even
among the Allied peoples those who are
willing to forget her record Of deliberate
savagery. But the seamen will not for
get or forgive. They do not want
"friendliness" from murderers. All that
was ended when the Lusitania went
down off the Irish coast. 1t is fitting
and just that the German seamen should
dree their weird and pay the penalty to
the uttermost farthing.

sermon is most likely to aim at the next
mornings newspaper with some opinion on
woman suffrage, the city elections, prison
reform-the steeple, dumb thing of brick
and stone, goes on pointing its finger to
God, but to what purpose?
In our village there Is a woman who Is
frowned upon by the conservative villagers
as irreligious. The head Of tho Kings
Daughters one day asked her bluntly why
she did not come to church and her reply
seems to US to 60 to the bottom of the
problem, " can't see God for the congre-
cation" she said simply.
There is no neater illustration Of the
point she was making than the change
which DR.. John Haynes Holmes, of New
York City, has made in the name Of his
church. DR.. Holmes Is one of those-and
let 1t be said there are few of his stripe
among the clergy!-who shuddered at the
shedding of blood In the cause of Western
civilization. but are less vigorous when the
blood Is let in the cause of Bolshevism.
DR.. Holiness church has long been known
the Church Of the Messiah; with the ex-
planation that the implication had become
false, he has amended the name to the Com
summed up the old and the new at whose
dividing we now attend
Perhaps DR.. Holmes was right in feeling
that the word Messiah, bound up a it is in
the intricaces of theology that has unde-
nably become obsolete, had hollow ring;
to change it would be right, but to change
it to Community is telltale The Church is
of God; cease to call Him Messiah, if you
like, but do not call Him man, nor brother
hood. nor anythin gthat is less than God.
There was a time when we believed the
community was itself God, and our best
endeavor and highest life could be no more
than giving good thought to our fellowman,
but that time is past; the new revelation is
that religion is more than ethics and ethics
cannot long hold up unsupported by re-
ligion. In the fable of the Golden Chain
Virgil points out that though God draws
men up to heaven by it, men cannot
trariwise draw God down to EARTH our
churches stand to-day before this old truth,
which they car never deny and live.
The preacher has a rough ahead; it is
not only rough, but vast. The pole star re-
mains, of course, but land is we'll lost to
view. How much of the Church we shall
retain in the time to come none can say;
there some prophets who declare 1t
must all go and we shall start with clean
slate and a new myth Perhaps we shall;
only the ignorant will make light of the
cost such breaking of a closely-fitted
habit and cherished ways of belief will
entail, but these will not matter if We gain
our soul. Religion cannot exist without
church, to be sure but if there is religion
there will inevitably be church; having
the essential first, all the rest will be added
unto US. Oddly enough, it is not the
preacher who will tell this to his flock; it
is the people who will tell it to the
preacher.

No Regional Understanding

No one will seriously challenge the
accuracy Of Senator Lodges description
Of the Monroe Doctrine It Is too solidly
based to be attacked. No American HIS
torian, no authority on American public
affairs, no American statesman can be
quoted as entertaining a different idea
Of the doctrines origin and nature. In his
books and his classroom President Wilson
has conceded with Senator Lodge.
The Monroe Doctrine is not regional
understanding" and never has been.
Negotiation did not precede it and it rep
resents no agreement. The South Amer
lean states were not asked to join in it.,
and sometimes have attacked it and
sometimes run to it's cover, but never as
their child.
The doctrine is no more a regional un-
derstanding than is the Declaration Of
independence. This nation gave it birth,
as an expression of high political pre-
rogative and as a definition of its self
originated and individual policy. 1t is
no more regional understanding than
is landowners notice against trespass-
ing.
The feeling Of the country when it was
declared was as described by Daniel
Webster. ut met WITH" he said, ||the
entire concurrence and hearty approba-
tion of the country One general glow
Of exultation, one universal feeling of
gratihed love of liberty, one conscious
and proud perception of the considera-
ton which our country possessed, and of
the respect and honor which belonged
to it, pervaded all bosoms-"
