The Fifth Liberty Loan, which will be floated this spring, in April, will be called the Victory Loan. This will be the last of the great series of loans growing out of the world war The amount has not been announced Neither has the interest rate nor the exact date. While the government will probably require still more money, even after the Fifth, 1t is announced that this will be the last to be raised by popular subscription.

Considering County
Hospital Proposal

The County Court again this week
had the matter Of securing a,county
hospital up for consideration. A
number of the physicians and other
prominent citizens appeared before
the Court with argument tending to
show the advantages that must re-
suit to the county by the purchase of
the Carleton College property at the
excessively moderate figure it can be
secured at this time. While it is the
concensus of opinion that this proper
ty could not be replaced for less than
100000, it can now be secured for
$4,000, which would certainly make
it a good buy, even for tannery.
The Times understands that the
County Court Judges think favorably
of the proposition of buying this
property, which can be remodeled and
converted into an up-to-date hospital
at small cost. A glance at the bills
that have been allowed at the pres
ent months session of the County
Court and note the bills that have been
allowed for hospital service to county
patients, much Of which could have
been avoided had the county hospital
Of its own, is calculated to convince
even an opponent of this proposition
that his argument would not stand up.
While a majority of the County
Judges are convinced that splendid
proposition is now offered the county,
and while they are also convinced that
st. Francois county should own it's
own hospital, they do not propose to
net hastily in this matter. They will
meet again next Thursday for fur
ther consideration Of this important
matter, and hear anyone who may de-
sire to be heard in this matter, after
which they may conclude to call an
election to sobmit the proposition to a
vote of the tax-paying citizens, as it
will require an additional mill tax

Cut Out the Camoufage
and Get Down to Business

usual policy that has recently been
pursued by the st. Joseph Lead Co.
They have given nothing to their en-
ployees by this plan, and yet they are
trying to make them believe that their
absorbing interest in their workmen
has caused them to make an enormous
investment for their special benefit.
It is cheap and tawdry, and, coming
as it does from an enormously wealthy
corporation, it certainly appears to be
mean-yes, contemplate.
As to the employees thinking we'll
of this plan, The Times does not be-
lieve that they do. We have failed to
hear it commended by single EN-
,r.i5yee. 1t may be true that here and
there can be found one who thinks
well of it, just as here and there is
one who does not always understand
what is his own best interest. Then,
again, there are those who may be
paid for circulating such propaganda,
but this paper is thoroughly con-
WINGED that the great body of the real
producers of the st. Joseph Lead Co.
take but little stock in this new
"plan."
If the management of the st. Joe
is really big enough to successfully
manage that company's affairs dur
ing the present trying and critical pc
riod, it will see and appreciate that
fact that an increase of money in the
pay envelope of it's workers will be
more satisfactory to them than all
the "group insurance, newspaper ad-
vertising and other propaganda they
can possibly put on. Many workers
are inclined to resent this 'group in
surance plan," perhaps largely for
the reason that the company is ap-
parently trying to impress on them
that it is gift, for which they should
show their thankfulness by grabbing
at every bone that is thrown to them,
whether or not there be meat on it.
The workers are mere human be-
lngs, just the same as the owners. All
they want is fairness. A living wage
mot charity--is what they demand.
The management of the st. Joe, ev-
identity impressed with Importance
and authority, seems determined to
hold the workmen down to the small
est possible wage. They would rath-
eF manu- enough over TO an insurance
company, in payment for "group in
surance," regardless of whether or
not such insurance was desired by the
workers, than to add that amount to
the pay envelope. What the workers
desire is to be in position to attend
to their own and their families needs
Fair and honest work should put them
in such a position. a'.
This is still America, and it is still
unpopular to attempt to make vas
sails or slaves of human beings. While
we have not been called on for advice
The Times would say to the manage
ment of the st. Joseph Lead Co., in
all friendliness, honesty and sincerity
Ii the workers are not getting the full
amount of wage to which they are
entitled, or that the company can af-
ford to pay, without regard to divi-
dends for the present, then in heav;
ems name raise their wages until
more settled conditions are usheret
in, at least.

POTOSI BANK ROBBERS
SOUGHT IN ST. LOUIS

st. Louis detectives last night were
searching for two robbers who opened
the outer door of the safe in the Bank
of Potosi, Mo-, with an acetylene torch,
early yesterday, stealing bonds val
ued at $500 and 81 cash.
The robbers were discovered at
work by c. H. Dampa, Potosi attor-
ney, who was on his way to catch a
5 o'clock train. He phoned the Sher.
iff, but the men fled without opening
a second door to the safe, which pro
tected many thousands of dollars ir
cash.

Two weeks ago the st. Joseph Lead
Co. launched what it is pleased to
term an innovation in the interest of
its employees. This latter benefit
cence is in the form of group insur-
ance, whereby any workman is mag
unanimously rendered such a policy,
free of cost to the employees, after
such employee has been in the employ
Of the St. Joe a certain number of
months. OF course this insurance, in
the aggregate, amounts to considera-
bio, though it is small when consid-
cred individually. Of course, too, the
st. Joe Lead Co. gets this form of
"group" insurance at "knock down"
prices. While it is good, as far as it
goes, it really "goes" but trifing
distance.
But please note what the st. Jo-
seph Lead Co. is trying to make out
of this propaganda. Two weeks ago
practically all the newspapers in the
district contained big spreads of the
joyful news that in the bigness Of its
heart the st. Joe Co. could not longer
resist doing something splendid for
it's employees, strongly intimating that
the oil of brotherly love had so
loosened the hinges of true benefi-
cence as to allow the door of human
fellowship to swing open SO that all
could enter into the joys of the an
nointed.
However, there was one peculiar
thing about this advertising. 1--WE
really did not mean to put it down "ad-
vertising." That word was written in
tuitiveiy and before we thought, Sc
we will let it go.) 1t appeared in
practically every county paper in
identically the same form, none had
it marked "advt.," and all featured il
as real news story, front page and
next reading matter. If it was not
paid for, and paid well for, then oui
sympathies go out to those newspa.
per men who "fell for it."
But that is not all The same pa
pers had another "story" again last
week on the same subject, also writ
ten, evidently, by the same high-sal
aried official of the st. Joseph Leat
Co., and again without sign or mari
indicating that it was advertising
matter. Last weeks "story" tell!
how this plan "has been received will
a great deal of enthusiasm by tn,
employees and strong public opin
ion has been developed in its favor.
The management of the st. Josepl
Lead Co. appears to think that it hal
really made "ten strike" with sucl
propaganda, and like small boy witt
his first tin horn, proceeds immediate
ly to blow hell out of it. But on tn
face of it, the "plan" appears cheal
and shoddy, as it really is. Sucl
group insurance costs the st. Joe bu
little, and the purpose it is really in
tended to serve is protection for th'
company, as everyone knows that tn,
company is responsible for any aeci
dents to it's employees when they ar,
at work, and by such "hand-me
down" insurance, which is issued with
out physical examination, the com
pany hopes to rid itself of liabilit.

Board Members
Pleased on Visit

Miss Mary E. Perry, Vice-President
of the State Board of Charities, to-
gether with Judge ]. B. Greensfelder,
also "a member of this board, spent
two days the last of the week at State
Hospital No. a looking through every
department and talking with the Of
ficers, employees, nurses and patients.
Miss Perry called The Times office
before leaving Friday evening for st.
Louis, stated that she desired to re-
port conditions most satisfactory, un-
der the efficient management of the
present Superintendent. She reports
that the patients are kindly treated,
and that they are generously fed a
well-balanced diet, which fact is ev-
idenced by their healthy appearance
She stated that they were delighted
with the conditions existing at this in
stitution.
These two members of the Board of
Charities also visited and inspected
the County Infrmary and the County
Jail during their official visit here.
Miss Perry regretted that her en-
gagements did not permit her to re-
main over to see the County Court in
regard to some of the conditions she
found in existence at the latter insti-
tuition, which, she said, could be very
easily corrected. She feels that the
work now devolving on Mrs. Coffman,
wife of Superintendent Coffman, is en-
tirely too heavy, and suggested that
she should be given additional help.
She also thinks that other things
should be supplied the Superintend-
ent, which he is now trying to do
without, that would add much to the
efficiency Of his efforts in caring for
the county's wards.

 After ,l four years banishment pow erty is creeping back to the mean streets of England's great cities. The age of spending is slowly but surely coming to an end, and the era of 'pinching" is replacing the artificial rrosperity erjcyed during the war. AL ready the pawnbroker, the barometer fl British lc wef class welfare, points to depressing conditions, and expen rensiye jewelry is the first of the war luxuries to pay for life's necessities Savings too, are being drawn upon as shown by the trickle of gold arriving at the banks from tradesmen in the poorer districts. Sovereigns have been saved from the early days of the war, and the stocking is now delivering up it's hoard.
 The rapid effects of the coal strike are a sharp reminder of what must be expected in the lean years unless in- creased production checks the swing of the poverty pendulum. While people in England are troubled over the get ting of coal. the Americans are sell ing it. We beat the Germans with shells; can we beat them in sales?

A TINY KINGDOM PRosPERs
(From the Brooklyn EaqIel
By Blosser

Most persons do not know that there exists little privileged Kingdom or province called Lebanon in northwest ern Palestine, on the shore of the Med iterranean. And yet, since 1864, when the Maronites united with their former enemies, the Druses, and fought SC whole heartedly that they obtained un- usual recognition from the Porte, the people of Lebanon have been free to till their soil and watch their flocks com paratively unmolested. Their popula- tion has grown steadily until it is now over four hundred thousand, and, as consequence, many Lebanontes have emigrated both to Egypt and America.
 Since the country is primarily agri- cultural and pastoral the inhabitants are of unusually fine physique and in- dependent in spirit. They still have partners, wolves and foxes to contend with: eagles vultures and wild pigeons are common, and the cultivation of mulberries, silks and olives has helped to keep them in their simple state of civilization.
 Lebanon has a government which was directly dependent upon the Porte, which acted, before the war, in con sultation with six western powers to direct and appoint a military governor, who was a Christian in the service of the sultan, and approved by the pow CTS. This type of rule, since the people were naturally peaceful, seemed to work very well. No doubt they will be freer than they ever were before, now that the power of the sultan has been broken

Plan Fine Park for Mesa.

id1 fiftC CT h IOt 'bSoos
 Mesa is to have a restful shady park right in the center of the town, so de- cided the city fathers at the council meeting held on Thursday night last. Dhe decision was made to purchase the Jesse Kelly property adjoining the city hall lot on the south, and facing on Mcdonald street. This gives to the town a frontage on this thoroughfare of more than 300 feet by 165 deep.
 While the park is one of the benefits that will be derived from the acquisi- tion of the property, the purchase was not made solely on that account, but because of lack of room for fire hall and the need of additional quarters for housing the offices of the city utilities
 At present the one little office in the basement of the town hall is entirely inadequate for the proper handling of the constantly growing business of the town, while the city jail consists of a one-cell affair with no compartment for women, and where prisoners have found it easy to escape, unless con fined in the cage.
 With such conditions existing, the council has decided to make the neces- sary additions to the town hall, one plan suggested being to build on West First street, running the addition back to connect up with the present hall, and then to build fire station with quarters for the chief, on the alley way fronting running along the south side of the property. The. objection to having the fire station face Mcdonald, will be the shutting off the view of the park from the business portion. How

BEAUTIFUL MESA HOME AS SITE
 FUR NEW HOSPITAL

MESA, Sept. 2S.-Mesa's most beau for the South Side Community hos pital.
 The J. T. Lesueur property, located on the corner of East Main and Hib- bert streets, is one of the attractive homes of the town, but with the sur rounding grounds with aims, pepper rees and other varieties of evergreen growth, it is a place of beauty admired by townspeople ana tourists alike.
 MT. Lesueur has given to the com- mittee on a hospital site a thirty day option on the property at price of s13,000. This offer is limited strictly to hospital purposes for, as is gener- ally conceded, the place is easily worth $2OO00, the difference represent ing the desire of a public spirited citi- zen and his excellent wife to promote the hospital enterprise.
 As the house now stands there will be room for twenty patients, and it is so located in the center of the grounds that wings may be extended both to Main and Hilbert streets. Ample screen porch room is a part of the place, while for shut-in patients ana those convalescing, the abundance of trees and shrubbery give at once a pleasing view and an abundance of shade.
 Nearly quarter of a ten-acre block in size, is the ground space included in the option.
 In discussing the matter, those ac- quainted with the needs of hospital equipment, state that the present house is ready for use without much. if any alteration, and that later on. should it be deemed desirable to build the hos pital proper on another part of the
