BEWARE THE GET
 RlCH-QUiCk MAN

In these days when money is much easier to get than in days that many can remember, the "get-rich-quick" plan is favorite temptation held al. luringly before the public. The Treas uary Department has recently issued a bulletin dealing with this pernicious evil. The really wise person who can not afford to take a chance" finds in the War Savings Stamp an investment just to his liking. He may invest as little as $5 or he may invest up to $1,OO0, and the little 'baby bond" is safe guarded just as much as the $1,OO0 bond-drawing 4 per cent com pounded quarterly and is absolutely safe.

Whiskers ExpIafned.

The early Jews were literally long on whiskers and made good use of them. The Jews beard was a sort of standing notice to the world concern ing his state of mind. If everything was propitious-wifea and children we'll and business good-his beard was combed out and perhaps oiled. But if death had entered his family, his beard was mere tangled mass of hair. The condition of tle whiskers also indicated the existence of otaer emotions.

HARRY LAUDER ON
 THRIFT STAMPS

-I contend that the man who in vests in Government Securities" says Harry Lauder, the eminent Scotch comedian, "who buys War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, is invest ing in the welfare of his country and the welfare of those depending upon him. War Savings Stamps will win the wcr. By that mean that do not consider the war fully ended until the world has secured a comfortable set clement for all the maimed and wounded men who got their wounds in the war"
 Extravaganza rots character; train youth away from it. On the other hand, the habit of saving money. while it stiffens the will, also brightens the energies. If you would be sure that you are beginning right, begin to ave."-Theodore Roosevelt.

SHOULD FURNISH INFORMATION

Every Missouri city, town and vii
lage should lend hearty cooperation
with the plan of Secretary OF State
John L. Sullivan to incorporate in the
current issue of the Blue Book ros-
ter Of the officers of every incorpor-
ated place in Missouri.
This is new feature of the Blue
Book and should be valuable one 1t
the necessary information can be OBJ
tanned by Secretary Sullivan and we
urge on the officials of the several
cities, villages and towns of Bates
county to see that the desired intor-
nation reaches the Secretary OF State
in accordance with the requests that
have already been made by him.
The Missouri Blue Book, or VI
fetal Manual is one of the most I'M
portant reference books published by
the state, and is used in many coun-
ties as a supplementary text book in
the schools. =.
The officials of every Missouri
municipality should see to it that the
information asked by Secretary Sui
livan is promptly furnished to the end
that the computation be not only OF
fetal, but complete.

Mules Versus Tractor.

A test was recently made at Fort
Scott, Kansas, between harvester
drawn by six mules and one drawn
by tractor The judges decided the
mules kept pace with the tractor
while in action, but as they had to
stop occasionally for rest, the trac-
tor at the end of the day, had the
best of the contest. The six mules
represented an original investment of
lat least $1,000. The tractor used in
this demonstration represented an
investment of about $1,000. The
mules will die, and the tractor will
wear out. On this score they are
equal, except that the tractor would
probably be much shorted lived than
the mules.
The cost of feed for the mules
during one year would be about tie
same as the cost of 5000 gallons Of
gasoline at the present prices of the
two commodities. The tractor
would do a years work on the farm
on a consumption Of probably 5000
gallons of gasoline. Its care would
be, far less expensive than that of the
mules. When its work was complet-
ed it would require no attention ex-
-cept protection from the weather.
The mules must receive attestion
three times day whether working
or idle.
4 If the saving of operating cost is
equivalent to 5000 gallons. of gaso-
line. as the judges estimated, this
saving would purchase new tractor
every year, while as matter of fact
one will do good service for 3 years
without heavy replacement expenses.
If the test is criterion by which to
judge the future of farm power, it
looks as though horse power were
doomed.-Sioux City Journal.

The Presidents Address.

The Presidents address to Con-
gress on the Treaty of Peace was no
lawyers argument on points and
particularities. He had nothing to
saw to Borah, Reed or Lodge or any
of the Senators who follow them.
He rose wholly above the contus-
ion of special issues and asked the
Senate to consider how completely
the objects which the League of Ma
tons will attain dwarf the selfish OBJ
jections which have been urged
against it.
Against the cold and unimagin-
alive practically which would nat
depart from the past because the past
was safe, he set "a high ideal of
better America in world made bet
ter and kept better by American par
ticipation in the league OF peace.
1.-THE light streams on the path
ahead and nowhere else," he told tn.
backward looking Senators. 1t may
be doubted if his eloquent descrip-
ton OF Americas destiny as a leader
of the world in the paths of peace
sank into the hearts of those Senat.
ors who are most violently oppose l
to the league To them idealism is
always impractical, but the President
was not speaking to them alone
There are Senators who see tie sa lie
light that the President sees and be-
hind them stands people who have
always been idealists.
No american glories in the war
with Spain, but what American does
not glory is free Cuba? No Amer'-
can regrets that his country won
nothing material in the war, but
every American is proud that h'>
country fought unselfishly for what
was right.
The Presidents address IS
crammed with proof that he trusts
the people to support him when he
demands that the Senate shall not
stand between them and their desire
to take an unselfish part in the COM
ing peace as they took an unselfish
part in war.
In the struggle which is to follow
when the President meets the oppo-
sition face to face and answers OBJ
jections point by point, there may
come days OF uncertainty and con-
fusion, but there need be no doubt
among the people as to what is right
SO long as the ideal which the Presi-
dent set forth in his first address is
held aloft.-St. Louis Republic.
