Connecticut Has a $1,000 Poultry
Club"

What is $1,000 Poultry Club? Ten
girls and boys in Litchfield County,
Conn, have formed one, and it has for
its aim the clearing of $1,000 in one
year on the poultry owned by the club
members. The 10 youths are mem
bers of boys and girls clubs, super
vised by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
agricultural college. They own alto
gether $50 birds, and they are deter
mined to realize their expectations.
The members decided an extension
school would be of assistance in their
work, undeterred by the fact that a
"junior extension school, had never
been conducted in Connecticut before
asked for one from the State college
and got it.. The attendance through
out the course was excellent and the
interest keen. Now the $1,000 Club is
busy putting into practice some of the
hints on making money with hens Civ
en- them by the poultry experts at the
school.

Constitutional means is reasonable,
and should be punished as much. Any
effort to influence legislation by
strikes or to balk the duly expressed
will of the people by strikes is war
against the government of the United
States.
It is reported that the Essex county
New Jersey Building Trades Coun-
ell has adopted the slogan mo beer,
no work" and is enlisting workmen
for a general strike on July 1st to
force notification of the prohibition
law. This proposed "strike" is not a
strike: it is rebellion. And it is of the
greatest significance that the state
ment Of this proposed action against
the United States comes from the of
flee of Ernest Boehm, Secretary of the
Federated Labor Council of New York,
who was at one time Treasurer of the
so-calIed Labor Peace Council Ger
man organization of the most vicious
character, which got into serious trou-
bic with the government. Boehm, 1t
was testified in the hearings on the
German and beer conspiracy, was used
bv the United States Brewers Asso-
citation to ''break up'' the temperance
policy Of the Nichols Copper Company
which had been alarmed by the rising
accident rate and had forbidden their
workmen to leave the works for beer.
It is a contemplate libel on Labor
to say that these traitorous rebels re-
present the honest workingman. In
no state. where prohibition has been
adopted, has Labor refused its support
of the law. There is no reason what
ever to doubt that these men are be-
ing melted to their action by the Unit
ed States Brewers Association and by
German agents in behalf of a German
trade
This is not government by strikes
but a government by law.-Exchange.

human nature remains unchanged the
money and bonds Of these people
will move steadily into the hands OF
those who are more thrifty. The fact
that the bonds are at discount oper-
ates to the advantage of the thrifty,
who are ready to carry more than their
share of the loans to the government
and one is not likely to waste sympa-
thy on the others because they have to
take loss. The savings would pass
from their hands anyway.
Then there are the bonds that credu-
lous holders have parted with in ex-
change for securities of little or no
value, believing some smooth promo
ter's prediction that they would get
rich in short order. The promoter can
sell these at any price and it will be
clear profit to him. The selling OF
Liberty bonds from this source has
been considerable.
As Liberty bonds were not sold in
the first place on an investment basis,
but largely on the basis of public pa
triotism, and as the campaign to make
that patriotism effective in absorbing
bonds was not continued between the
loan drives, there has been no demand
for these bonds that come on the mar
ket except at concessions IN price. The
government has made some use OF a
sinking fund to buy bonds in the mar
ket, but it's purchases have not been
sufficient to keep the 41-4s from de-
clining to 94 and the As below SO.
The patriotic American of small
means who subscribed for Liberty
bonds with the intention of holding
them until the period of war financing
was over, but who finds that he must
now sell. even though there has yet to
be another large loan floated, is enti-
tied to sympathy; but it cannot be said
that he has grievance, for he, rather
than he government, has failed ii any
one has, in his obligation.
1t should be the patriotic duty Of ev-
eryone in a position to influence others
to check as far as possible the unnec-
essary selling of Liberty bonds. In
this way they can help the fifth Liber-
ty Loan and increase the army of Am
erican investors. The person who
holds on to his bonds until interest
rates start to decline after The wars
demanded for funds in fully met, and
until Liberty bonds perhaps go above
par, will be much more satisfied In
vestor than the one who parts with
his Liberty bonds is more likely to con-
tinue as an investor.

The Price of
Liberty Bonds
From the Worlds Work

A young man whose first and only
investment to date had been in Liberty
bonds wanted to know why they were
selling so low. He considered it a
shame that patriotic people who had
bought all of the bonds they could,
and who, because of some unforeseen
development, might be forced to part
with them, could not get the full face
value en- their bonds. Reasons for the
mercurial movements of the market
place were Greek to him, and he SEEM
ed to have a feeling that the bonds in
some way had been misrepresented to
him and to the 100000 or 10000, 900
other subscribers.
The most convincing and completely
satisfying reply that could be made
tO this young man was to ask him TO
recall to mind his point of view when
he subscribed for his bonds. Then he
was ready to see the war through at
any cost. He had gone into the SER
vice himself. Now he was feeling So
licitous Lecause those who had loaned
their money to help make the world
safe could not get it all back again
at once He did not stop to realize that
Lu0 purpose 1OT WHICH LIlCy Ildu lOdil-
ed their money was not yet fully at
tained, or that the government by fix
ing the maturity dates on the bonds,
had asked for the loan of the money
for from ten to thirty years.
Those who must have their money
back now might consider the discount
at which the bonds are selling in the
market as something they give for the
privilege of having their loan repaid
before it is due. There is no question
regarding its payment in full when
due.
The reason why Liberty bonds of all
the issues except the completely tax
exempt 1-2s of the first loan are
selling points below par are many.
In every community there are people
who can no longer resist the tempta-
tion to spend these savings and are
parting with their Liberty bonds; peo-
pie who abandoned their wartime re-
fine of personal economy with the end
ing of the war or before. AS long as

Four hundred employees OF the Dis

At s o'clock this morning 400 men
met at Cadets ArmOry, on o street
northwest, between Seventh and
Eighth streets. Three hundred were
colored men. They were given In
structions and implements with which
to work in the streets. Shortly after
