must be kept moving. He must have
his blouse and breeches, his cap and
his leggings. There must be shelter
and some comforts. He must have
plenty of guns, plenty of shells and
the cartridge belts must be kept
filled.
OF course all this means another
Liberty Loan-the Fifth Loan, it you
please. 1t is up to the good Ameri-
cans who come through on the first
four loans to back the victory they
have won with the fifth and last
loan. 1t would be the highest of
foolishness to fail to back up the men
who are insuring victory for us now.
How many men will be required is
a problem for our Government to de-
termine. Certainly no more will be
kept there than are needed. We are
not wasting man-power just to keep
soldiers in Europe. They are needed
there or they would be on their way
home. And the money that is to
maintain them is needed, or it would
not be asked for. The Fifth Liberty
Loan is necessary or the nation
would never have authorized it. 1t
Is UP to us to play we'll our our part
in raising it.

COLLECTING CLAP TRAP.

Uncle Bill Geyer was for many
years a notable figure down in North
eastern Kentucky. He was frugal
ity personified and a keen trader.
Most of his money had been made in
real estate and financing farmers at
after-the-war rates, of interest.
And when he died his executor
found bundles of old Confederate
bills in his iron safe, mementoes Of
the great American weakness of TAX
ing a chance.
Uncle Bill Geyer wasn't a pioneer
in this. Financial adventure has
been the life of American business
development through more than a
century. He but ran true to form.
Thousands of Americans are doing
the same to-day.
Simply collecting clap trap in the
form of gaily illuminated stock GER
tificates that are not worth the paper
they are printed upon and never will
be.
And the tragedy of it all is that
many of them are sacrificing their
Liberty Bonds in the effort. Sur
rendering their certificates of loyal
citizenship in the chance of making
a killing. Dong Uncle Sam a real
injury. however unconsciously.
With no more chance than the pro-
verbal SNOWFALL in Hades.
The woods are full Of statesmen
right now representing fake promo
ton schemes and holding out special
inducements to Liberty Bond holders.
Offering them so-called bargains ex-
traordinary, especially in exchange
for their bonds.
Nine out OF ten of them are pure
swindles.
So be on your guard. If one OF
these fellows puts his proposition up
to you take him down to your bank
er. II he can sell the banker you
may possibly be safe in taking a
chance.
But il he can't, pass him up.

Labor Department Is Active.

The Department Of Labor his issu-
ed q statement by Roger w. Babson,
that contains many interesting bits
OF information concerning the things
being done in Washington to help
business. According to Mr.. Babson
the United States hasn't been losing
its money, since in 1910 the country
was found to be worth s186,000,000,-
900: while to-day il is estimated to
be worth s265,000, 900, while
our war debt is only some fifteen or
sixteen billions. In view of the fact
that the world conflict has cost the
nations $193,000,0 900. Uncle Sam
seems to have come through in envia-
BILE shape, financially. The state
ment throws light upon many public
questions. In one place it says: In
addition to this work Of stimulating
public and private residences and
wage workers homes, sewers. water
works and other municipal improve
meats. the Labor Department is max
ing a special drive TO get public utli-
itfos on a stable basis. The Secre-
tary is especially sympathetic with
the needs of the traction companies
believing that they deserve higher
fares. and relief from taxation and
other burdens. Studies are now be-
ing made in the Secretary's office for
mans which will stabilize the public
utility industry:

The Promise of Spring.

AS my eyes opened the other
morning and 1 stretched to look at
the clock that was ticking on the
dresser I heard a red-bird just out
side the window. / leaped from the
bed and looked out The ground was
still white with the heavy frost that
had fallen like a blanket in the
night. Directed by the joyous
sound we saw the bird on the bare
branch Of a maple tree. There he
VS. standing like an impresario in
tie presence of all the crowned heads
of The universe. Then again he lifted
UP his head and sang until his little
body Quivered with passion and he
seemed almost ready to dissolve in
the uncomfortable rapture Of life.
From across the yard heard the
muffied chirp of the mate calling to
him.
1t was more beautiful than the
crashing melody of an orchestra.
sweet as the tinkling splash Of the
little cascade in a woodland rill. It
meant the approach of Spring.
Later In the day 1 met q man dig
ging dandelion greens and as stop
ped to speak with him he said:
They are sure early this year, but
they are mighty fine," and he dug UP
the luscious root with long butcher
knife and held it up for inspection.
When 1 went home to supper I in
hailed the pungent odor of sassafras
as we stepped into the kitchen. On
all sides are these signs of the COM
ing Of Spring.
It has not been a hard winter like
last winter was, but it has been a
difficult winter just the same. The
prevalence of the influenza and the
sickness and death Of friends has cast
a gloom over us all. The long. weary
days waiting for the boys to come
home and the. dread anxiety lest the
1re lover there should break out
again has. made the winter one OF
sober thoughts. The continued high
cost OF everything and the dread un-
certainty as to future activities have
msde us uneasy. But now comes the
promise of Spring aud the birds. the
dandeiions and the sassafras tea give
us new hope for better and brighter
days.
