THE STORY OF THE FIRST
 LIBERTY LOAN
By Jennie Glover Brown.

On Commonwealth avenue, in Bos- ton, stands statue of the man who launched the first Liberty Loan for the Independence of the United Colonies of America, in 1775, with never n thought of interest on the investment. or even a promissory note for security In the harbor of Marblehead, Mass, merchant vessels were quipped for war by the same man, at his own expense and thus the American Navy was be- gun. FsH
 Not satisfied with this, John Glover raised a regiment of sturdy fishermen every private, oficer and musician, ex- cept eight, being a native of Marble head. These men, accustomed to hard - ships, were contemptuousiy referred to by the British as "Glover's Amphibious Regiment" but they alone vera re- sponsible for the safety of Washing \ tons Army in that hazardous trip across the Delaware. - a E
 These two important measures were most momentous to Washington during the War of the Revolution.
 Glover, at the beginning of the struggle had been a wealthy sea mer- chant, but he returned to his home and family with no money, no business, and was obliged to cobble shoes forj his living. .e-.n..
 His worldly possessions gone, what had General Glover left7 Only a oour tryi That country is today the legacy of every man, woman. and child who helps to keep it as free and inde pendent as John Glover helped to mako it. How shall we prove ourselves worthy heirs to such an inberitance 3 There is only one way: Carry oni By purchasing Thrift and War Savings Stamps we may help with our money though unlike John Glover, we will have the safest security in the whold world, the guarantee of the United States Government.

OBTAIN PASTURE
 ON DITCH BANKS
Waste Space Is Frequently Source of Much Trouble and
 Financial Loss.
HOW IDAHO MAN MADE MONEY
Lambs Gained at Rate of 264.5 Pounds Per Acre Pastured-ln Addition Animals Did Excellent Job
 In Cleaning Up.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 The Bingham county (Idaho) farm bureau has urged every farmer, during the past year, to utilize all irrigation ditch banks. On irrigated farms of from 30 to 160 acres it has been es- timated that the ditches take up from 3 to 12 acres. This not only reduces the cultivated areas, but Is frequently a source of much trouble and financial loss, inasmuch as the farm ditches are likely to become a mass of sweet clover, willows and weeds, and the natural breeding place of injurious in- sects, such as alfalfa weevils, false chinch bugs and grasshoppers.
 Made Ditch Bank Fay.
 One man has made his ditch bank pay we'll. He has an S0-acre farm, through which there is a ditch 1854 feet long and ten feet wide In 1917 the ditch bank and an adjoining strip of alfalfa embracing one and One-half acres were fenced off and used to pasture a number of registered Hamp- shire ewes and lambs, the sheep being run on it on alternate two weeks. The actual pasture area of the ditch bank and alfalfa patch was 1-3 acres. The result of the first year showed that this pasture would carry 129 head of sheep each alternate two weeks, or an average of 14 head continuously.
 Profit From Lambs.
 In August 43 lambs weighing a total of 2,17S.5 pounds or an average of 50.7 pounds per head, were turned on one third acre of this ditch bank pasture, which had been cut off with a tenn porary fence. The pasture at that time consisted of a rank growth of

WOMEN AS INVESTORS
What Liberty Bond and War Saw ings Stamps Have Done
 for Them

Women had never been seriously considered as investors, until the war began and this country became in- volved. This was partly because they did not earn money as they have since the boys went overseas and to camps, but moro for lack ci opportunity to invest small savings For instance, one woman invested her entire savings in two vacant lots some years ago. She has done noth- ing with them, ever since, except to pay taxes. Government securities would have been much better, for their returns are positive.
 Until recently, such safe, sure and profitable investments as Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps have not been possible, either to men or women. Women, however. have bee
 quick to seize upon the promising possibilities of such income bearing Investments, and many a woman now buys Thrift Stamps instead of candy flowers and the like.
 "The prime necessity" according to a woman long a large earner, sa- yer and investor "is that the thing be safe and sure, and this whether the investor be young woman whose provision for the future need not be unduly hurried, or an older woman. open to the temptation of attempt ing get rich quick methods. Here is my advice to women: For the I1 Thrift or War Savings Stamps, so easy to obtain; for the larger sum to be saved, the sterling Liberty bond"

THRIFT IN FRANCE
Readily Available Investment for Small Savings.

The traditional thrift of the French peasant Is practised under arduous conditions.
 Most of the population of France is rural and agricultural The re- turns from the sale of their produce are carefully slowed away in stock ing" savings as the crops are dis posed of. When enough has been &C., cumulated, it is invested in bonds recommended by the banks, which have the most complete confidence of the people.
 . The popular denomination of bonds in France is 800 francs (about s10o) although sons issues arc as low as 100 and z50 francs. (s20 and s6o). At no time have the French people had available an investment security of the nature of the American War Say ings Stamps, guaranteed by their gov ernment and paying more than four per cent interest compounded guar terly. Nevertheless the French peo- pie have invested vast sums in the securities recommended by their banks. When the war came these great investments were available for transfer into government war bonds, and the earlier French loans were largely purchased by turning in these securities for exchange. va
 If the American people will con tinue to see the great advantages of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, American thrift will rival French thrift. The American saver can buy an interest bearing govern ment security when his savings amount to little more than A. The Frenchman must wait until he has accumulated at least five times that amount before his money can begin to earn interest.

IS IT LUST A COLD"?
Canaan People Should Ask Them
 selves This Question.

Don't say: "It's just a. cold"
 It may turn into backache, rheu- matic aches, achy joints.
 Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys.
 Colds are due to congestion.
 Congestion makes the kidney over work to filter the blood.
 Colds often leave the kidneys weak.
 First break the cold;
 Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to avert the kidney dangers.
 Let this Canaan resident tell you about them.
 Mrs. L. Wickwire, Railroad St., says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family for the past two years and they have always helped us wonderfully. At one time had terrible backaches, but Doan's Kid ,ney Pills quickly relieved me. Now, once in awhile, catch cold in my back, but I take few doses of Doan's with excellent results" Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Wickwire had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.-adv.
