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
yolved. This was partly because
they did not earn money as they
lave since the boys went overseas
and to camps, but more for lack of
opportunity to invest small savings.
For instance, one woman invested her
entire savings In two vacant lots
some years ago. She has done moth
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
bends and War Savings stamps have
not been possible, either to men or
women. Women, however, have been
quick to seize upon the promising
possibilities Of such income bearing
investments, and many woman now
buys Thrift Stamps instead of candy
flowers and the like.

to a woman long a large Garner, sa-
yer and investor. lis that the thing

provision for the future need not be
unduly hurried, or an older woman

WRECK ON NEW HAVEN.
Is Freight Cars Demolished Near Put
nam, Conn, Yesterday.

PUTNAM, Conn, April 9.-One of the
worst freight wrecks ever seen in this
section occurred late yesterday at Pom
fret, when an east bound freight train
from Hartford on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad was de-
rallied. Fifteen loaded freight cars were
demolished, five going down an embank-
ment.
1t was said the train was making 80
miles an hour at the time of the aeci-
dent. The east and west bound tracks
were torn up for nearly 500 feet. Rail
road men said they thought the Mid
land division would be blocked for two
or three days 81
1t was said by railroad men later
that great passenger wreck was mar
rowly averted, as an express train from
Boston for New York had passed thu
scene of the freight wreck at exactly
one minute before. 1t was recalled tina
just year ago tonight freight wrecl
occurred in almost the same place a

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

On Commonwealth avenue, in Bos
ton. stands a statue of the man who
launched the first Liberty Loan for the
independence of the United Colonies
OF America, in ITS, with never a
thought of interest on the investment,
or even 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.
Not satisfied with this, John Glover
raised regiment of sturdy fishermen,
every private, officer and musician, ex-
cept eight. being native of Marble
head. These men. accustomed TO hard
ships, were CONTEMPORARY referred to
by the British as "Glover's Amphibious
Regiment" but they alone were re-
| sponsible for the safety of Washing
toms Army in that hazardous trip
across the Delaware.
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 for
his living.
His worldly possessions gone, what
had General Glover left? Only coun-
try! That country is today the legacy
of every man, woman, and child who
helps to keep it as free and indie
pendent as John Glover helped to make
it. How shall we prove ourselves
4 worthy heirs to such an Inheritance
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 viii
have the safest security in the whole
world, the guarantee OF the United

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 ac-
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 500 francs (about 5000
although: some issues are as low as
100 and 25A francs, ($20 and $500. AT
no time have the French people had
available an investment security OF
the nature of the American War Saw
ings Stamps, guaranteed by their gov.
eminent and paying more than foul
per cent interest compounded quar-.
terly. Nevertheless the French peo-
pie have invested vast sums in tbs
securities recommended b. tEeil
banks. When the war came these
great investments were available fol
transfer into government war bonds
and the, earlier French loans were
largely purchased by turning in these
securities for exchange.

INVESTIGATION OF

Killing of Farmer Last Au-
gust Will Be
PrObed
BY GRAND JURY OF
CHESHIRE COUNTY
Mysterious Tales Of German Spy Ac-
tivities in Connection with Staying
Were Reported to Department of Jus
tice and Looked Into.

KEENE, y. H., April 9.-The killing,
eight months ago, of William X. Dean,
wealthy farmer, at East Jaffrey, in
connection with which reports of Ger
man spy activities were investigated by
federal officials, is to be brought before
the Cheshire county grand jury, which
convenes today. County Solicitor Roy
NJ. Piekard announced that witnesses
in the case were being summoned to APP
pear here. Up to the present there has
been no judicial procedure in connection
with Dean s death.
Townspeople at East Jaffrey for sew
cral weeks have circulated petitions de-
handing that the death of Dean be in
vostigated. Although private investi-
gators claimed to have obtained evi
denee, Solicitor Pickard had announced
in answer to these demands that he had
no information on which he could pro
eecd.
Dean, who was 20 years of age, was
killed on the night Of Aug, IA. His body
was found the day after, trussed with
rope and thrust into a meal sack, at
the bottom of well in the rear of his
home. 1t was said at the time that,
although his face was matked with
three wounds, death probably was
caused by drowning after he was
dropped in the well.
The farmer had been milking in his
barn at the rear of his homo. His
-assailant, or assailants, it was believed

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES

Over 800 farmers of Loudoun
county came to the White Farm cut
of Leesburg, Va, to a demonstra-
ton of the triple hitch. This dem
onstration was put on by the Perche-
ron Society of America. Mr.. Wayne
Dunsmore, had charge in conjunc-
ton with Mr.. Hunter, the County
Agent. From the interest manifest
ed, no doubt a rather large use of
this hitch, now becoming so popular
in the corn belt will be used in the
larger fields of the east.
The Triple Hitch.
What is this hitch? 1t is merely
hitching one team before the other
on gang or two bottom pillow. The
demonstration shows the hitch to be
absolutely satisfactory. The four
abreast on a gang pillow has many
disadvantages in that horses are
crowded, trample each other, and
pull one side draft. The tandem
hitch makes it possible to eliminate
side draft, spreads the horses, and is
more easily driven when the ''tie in
and luck back" ropes are used. On
ground relatively free of rocks the
two bottom pillow can be used, with
no more extra draft than two one
bottom plows, with the elimination of
one man, and the second man riding
instead of walking. This has become
universal in the West where there is
even greater labor shortage than
in the East. Such pillow can not be
used universally in County like JEFF
ferson, but many fields can be so
plowed. The writer has used the
tandem hitch and is willing to assist
any farmer with it who has gang
pillow for horse sower.

plans for the erection of the building:
Dean, College of Agriculture, Chair
man; State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture; President State Horticultural
Society; Chairman of Horticultural
Committee of the State Federation
of Farm Bureaus; and the Horticul-
turist at the Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
As acting Dean of the College of
Agricultural, W. H. Alderman, Hor-
ticulturist, Morgantown, w. Va, is

PHYSICIANS AND DRUGGISTS
EVERYWHERE
Recommend the Use of Camphorated
Oil and Menthol Creams for Re-
lieving Coughs, Colds, Group,
Catarrh, Pneumonia and All
Contested Conditions.

The best form in which to apply
remedy of this kind will be found in
MINTOL which not only contains
Menthol, Camphor, Oil Of Eucalyp-
tus and many other healing and an
tiseptic oils but also contains germi-
cidal properties which kill the grip
and influenza germ. If MINTOL is
applied to the nostrils it sterilizes the
nose and acts as preventive as well
as cure for colds and catarrh.
If you will apply little MINTOL
about the size of a bean to the back
of the tongue it will sterilize the
throat and relieve hoarsness, coughs
and all throat troubles. When APP
piled externally to the throat and
chest it will break up congestion and
prevent or relieve Group, Whooping
Cough and Pneumonia.
1t is not necessary to use old-fash-
Toned blisters which are often times
either very disagreeable in oder or
cause soreness and annoyance to the
patients and those attending them.
MINTOL will be found the most eff
fective, modern scientific treatment
for all infamed conditions. Ajar in
the home will protect the whole fam
lily from coughs, colds, and often
times prevent Pneumonia. If your
druggist cannot supply you we will
mail you jar on receipt of price 35c
soc and $1.25. The Home Relief
