Here is what the United States gov
eminent has to say, on the eve Of the
Fifth Liberty Loan, Of the value Of
these bonds:
Because some holders have been
obliged to sell their Liberty Bonds al
a sacrifice; and because at this time
OF initiation of credits, Liberty Bonds
are quoted below par, or their face
value.
Don't imagine that the Liberty
Bonds you own are worth any less
than you paid for them
The Liberty Bonds you purchased in
the first, second, third or fourth
drives, or their younger brothers, the
short-term notes you will be asked to
buy in the Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign, are the best and safest secur1-
ties into which you can put your
money.
They are the promise OF the United
States of America to pay dollar for
dollar at date of maturity, with in
terest paid in cash every six months
and you should remember that this
government has never defaulted on a
dollar of its indebtedness, either prin-
cipal or interest.
The right thing for you to do IS to
hold your Liberty Bonds as an invest
ment and collect on the interest cou.
pom semi-annually. Don't get fused
over the .taik Of some smooth tongued
sharper and let him trade you stock in
some doubtful enterprise for your Lib
arty Bonds. IL misfortune oyertakes
you and you must have money, there
are reputable dealers in most all COM
munities who will pay you the highest
market price for your Liberty Bonds,
less a small commission.
Remember also that the dollars you
paid for your Liberty Bonds in time Of
war were worth in purchasing power
but a little more than one-half the
peace time dollars in purchasing pow
or.
After a while and IL won't be so
very long, either-there will be a sta
bilization of things in this country, anu
with the purchasing power OF the good
old American dollar increased you VIII
then realize what a fine investment
Vol made when you purchased Liberty
Bonds to help win the war. Then how
glad you will be TO know that you held
Il to your Liberty bonds.
Meanwhile, lieep it in mind that the

Saving Sunshine

The attempt OF misguided c~itizenry
lin Phoenix, in Mendon, ILL.,, and else
where to block the daylight saving
schedule is rather silly Regardless
of the merits of the change, to at
tempt to set up a rival time TO that
ordained by the government and tbs
transportation and transmission lines
Is hopeless from the start. There
ARE however no valid objections tc
the plan purely on its merits. Ii
certain sections Of the country it has
been followed all the year round fol
years and its advantages in the sum
mer term are SO conspicuous as To
need no argument.
"A writer in Leslie's says:
Because some farmers missed Their
milk trains last year two separate
bills we're introduced In the Sky
fifth congress. and a rider was tackled
to the agricultural appropriation bill
to repeal the daylight saving law,
The bills died in committee and the
agricultural measure failed Of pass
age. Consequently there will be an
hour OF daylight saved in each Of the
210 days during which the hands
of the clock will be turned back, fol
lowing the first Sunday in April, De
tenders OF the measure claim finan'
cial, physical and moral benefits,
There will be more recreation In the
afternoon daylight hours, and cary
retiring is held to be morally uplift-
ing. Getting down to gross figures,
the national war garden commission
reports 5,2S5,000 home gardens plant
ed last year. With rs working days
in each seven months, this gives 1872
extra hours Of time. II each g. 4
ener worked this extra hour in his
plot, there would be added an aggss'
gate Of 96t,870,000 hours Of extra
time to the country's wealth. With
$500 hours in a year, the staggering
total OF l09, S03 years OF 24-hour days
is obtained, which is equivalent IL
the combined efforts Of t~hreescore
men working steadily on union scale
since the time OF Adam. The Play

A Strange Rite

(From the Chicago Evening POST
The inhabitants of Manhattan
which is described by ~geographers al
an island lying about a thousand
miles east of the great city Of Chi
cago-have a strange custom, the
origin OF which is lost in antiquity,
Every twelvemonth theU guardians
of the law of these people gather to
gether all the weapons which have
been taken from evildoers-reYolvers
dirks, blackjacks and "knucks'-load
them on a boat and proceed in the
direction Of the sea until they reach
a great statue called Liberty.
Here the boat pauses, and the
weapons-to the value Of 100000, II
is said-are then cast into the deem
one BY one, by the guardians Of the
law. Whether the throwing Is ac-
companied by nominations or pray-
ers is not known, as the guardians
are very jealous Of this rite.
1t is supposed that by this cere-
mony the guardians hope to purge
the evildoers Of their evil spirit and
thus preserve the lives and the prop
critics Of the Manufacturers. Otherwise
it is difficult to explain it, as the
iron and steel in the weapons could
by a process we'll known to the PEG
ple of the island be melted down
and converted into useful articles, as
is, in fact, done by them with other
old iron and steel.
Neither can the strange custom be
explained as a desire to lessen the
number Of revolvers, ETC., for they
are produced in large quantities in
territory contiguous to Manhattan,
and, indeed, are openly sold in the
market places Of the island.
by others, however, II is said that
the ceremony is an offering to prop
itiate Neptune, that he may be more
favorable to the ships which the Mani
hattaners dispatch upon the sea. stu
others regard It as a tribute to Ven
us, who is held in great esteem w
the islanders. and who. W are told,
was born from the foam Of the sea.

Roosevelt Sense

Theodore Roosevelt, being dead
yet speaketb. And Judging from the
appearance and the u~tterances oil
some of the junior Ro~osevelts, he Is
going to continue speaking and act
ing in no uncertain manner A study
of the physiognomy Of Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr, especially is rataer
calculated to make one think. In a
ann of speaking we believe that
face is going to be heard from.
Capt. Archibald Roosevelt, one OF
the three fighting sons Of the Colonel
had something to say recently alb ut
the Wilson league Of nations which
has a strangely familiar punch. He
said in part:
Many of us who were in France
or were lying wounded in the hos
pitfalls in the United States are now
wearing civilian clothes and hare
the right of free speech. We have
returned to a life that seems new aud
strange, and we are mystified by
the war.
I'VE find a president demanding
and receiving the absolute obedience
required in time of wal only in the
front line; but unlike the officers in
the front line, he will listen to no
suggestions from the rank and tilc.
We are amazed at his having the IN
science to career over to Europe to
tell our friends and foes that a largo
majority of the American people are
united behind him and his plan for
his league Of nations. The majority
Of the American people are not be-
hind him. Most of us-and ! be-
lleve am a fair sample Of the aver
age Amerlcan-have no idea wsat
the language Of Mr.. Wilson's. cove-
nant means.
We want time to talk the matter
v and see what we can do for
other nations without running nur
own nation. 1t will do but little good
If, by helping the Czecho-Slovaks or
the Armenians to keep their free
dom, we subject our country and the
western hemisphere to tho maIdutes
OF alien powers.
"Yet while we want to talk over
the league, to clarity our ideas and
to have time to choose and select
what we want to do in regard to our
future international relations, at the
same time we want an immediate
peace, which will restore the would
to normal conditions, and render the
clustering, bullying, cringing Ger
man entirely impotent.
Let us make peace immediately
and after having made III peace let
us convene a council Of representa-
tive men of the allied nations for
the purpose of creating a league OF
nations which will stfhye to limit
wars in the future.
Before we sign or agree to any
league Of nations we must solemnly
vow to ourselves to live up to the
and the spirit Of any internal
tional agreement we make. We must
be very careful to make no agree
which we cannot live up to.
We must never share with Germany
the point Of view that international
agreements are scraps Of paper.'

on some rather high authority that
Trotzky and Lenine are German in

But admitting for the sake Of argu-
ment that Russia needs the Bolshe-
Wiki to readjust herself with, this out
fit is permanently aligned with the
enemies OF the United States. The
war is not practically over until the
peace treaty is signed. What is now
in effect is an armistice. The inter

dirty work for her, drawing up a con

have repudiated the armistice and in
effect declaring war on the entente,
offering money and munitions to help

We Want Roads

There are vague rumors that ouIl
ty commissioners in strong democrat
ic counties will resent the appoint
ment by the governor of republican
road superintendent. A story which
lacks confirmation was published
yesterday to the effect that the OtsIo
county commissioners would seek
to nullify the appointment Of a suii-
~erintendent there by practically apol-
ishing his salary which is left to the
discretion of county commissioners
in the various counties. 1t is point
ed out on tine other hand that not a
spadeful of dirt may be turned ex-
cept by the authority Of the county
superintendent.
Circulation Of such reports may be
mere political propaganda. In any
event, what the counties want Is
roads, not politics. The best poli-
tics and the wisest course for the
governor will be to see that ia
every county the superintendent is
a man whose qualifications are sat
isfactory to the county authorities.
AS a matter OF fact many believe
the selection Of county road officials
ought to be in the hands Of the coun-
ties. Politics, however, should not
figure in the slightest in the high
way program for this state. What Ne
want is roads, not political Jobs. We
are inclined to believe the governor
will do his part to see that his APP
pointiye power in this regard is not
used in such name as to cause fric-
ton with county commissioners; and
no county should object to any road
superintendent SO long as he can
build good roads, whatever his poll.
