"As far as New England Is con- Cerned this is enough. The same or ean}zation which has successfully operated in four Liberty Loans will be ~2ady and pulling at the leash by April 21st, and the coming campaign will be carried on with the utmost activity.
 The problem of the Treasury has, been to find an attractive form of security to offer the public. The con- siderable discount, at which the Sec7 ond, Third and Fourth Liberty Loan long term bonds are selling, (due en- tirely to the enormous volume which 1t has been necessary to sell in Q short sDace of time) would make it extremely difficult to sell another long term issue at par unless the rate was made comparatively high.
 By establishing not over a A% rate on previous issues the Treasury accomplished the remG kable and most economical piece of financing that the world has ever seen.

I discovered q small boy way out Of

q large Christmas tree through that
sudden VET snowfall which began
along about 2 o'clock In the afternoon.
He was a carling youngster. with spark.

He was wrapped IN q large muller,
which tried to do double duty; keep.

warm as vas possible. But II this
little boy was not quite comfortable.

gazing disgustedly at the buried treas

them to guard while he slept.

Owl. 81 never did have any use for
gold and silver, and see what fix It

Billy, who had no idea of staying
shut up underground if there was any
way to get out, felt of the walls care :
fully seeking the mysterious stone door
which had shut them in and then van
ished. The walls were all of smooth
dirt, with here and there a large stone,
but not one of the stones looked like
a door, and not one would stir. no mat :
ter how hard he pushed at it. Even
the little closets in which the moles had
gone to sleep were no longer visible.
Except for the chest of gold the cellar
was bare, and they were the only per-
sons In it.

mean trick of those young rabbits to
coax us here and then run away" Z"

Peggy didn' t believe this of the young
rabbits. johnny Rabbit, Pinky Rabbit
and Bunny Rabbit had all seemed so
grateful for being saved from the dogs,
