THE GOOD TINE COMING.

Individually we Of this country are
making more money than we ever did
before. In our hearts we feel that we
ought to be able to save more. or af-
ford Injuries formerly beyond our
reach. When we have difficulty in
doing either. we feel that something
is wrong and somebody is to blame,
We do not stop to calculate how much
our advanced wages or salaries and
our shortened hours have added to the
selling cost OF things we produce, dis
tribute and consume.
We have heard and read so much
about the billions and billions OF dol
lars worth of goods sent abroad, of
enormous trade balances sin our IA
vor" that we begin to wonder what
has happened to our own particular
share in the national dividend. II all
the world is in debt to America. we
ask. why haven't we more money our
selves.
In trying TO find the answer. we
should not overlook four important
facts. First. q large part OF this for
eign debt to US represents war loans
of our government to other govern
ments; it does not belong to individu-
ais. Second, our exports in recent
years have been made up largely of
foodstuffs, raw materials and NUM-
tons, the profits on which have gone
rather directly to restricted groups of
producers. Third, much of the ma
tional dividend has been absorbed in
wage and salary advances, high rent
ais and heavy expenditures for new
construction and equipment for tenn
porary war uses. Fourth. the enor-
nous shipments of foods. clothing.
shoes and other necessaries to Europe
which must continue for a time un-
til Europe has again restored some
thing like balance between produc-
ton and consumption-have been re-
sponsible for the rise in prices which
has neutralized the advance in wages,
salaries and profits.
AS these conditions disappear and
the country's business approaches nor
NAL we shall find that we can buy
more with the money we receive and
will be afforded added opportunities
to save.

JUST FOLKS
THE LARGE FAMILY.

Time was we seldom bowed TO care, the
family was small,
An grief went walkin down the way al
never stopped TO call
We heard of sorrow here an there an saw
times constant change,
But 1t was all so far away an seemed 80
very strange
That joyously we lived our lives, scarce
thinkin' we must know
The sorrows others had to bear, but that
was long ago
And now the family has grown, its circle
stretches wido
And very often now our hearts by care anu
grief are tried.
We've many here who share our love, ana
some of them are old.
Soon by the Shepherd TO be called into the
Heavenly fold.
And We have bowed our heads in grief anu
lived those days of woe
Which seemed so strange to US back then
in that glad long ago.
We've drawn the shades against the sun,
we've said the last goodbye,
We understand just what 1t means TO see
a loved one die.
For as the family larger grows more or
we come to care
And greater are the burdens that our hearts
are asked to bear.
And yet our joys have multiplied glad
smiles thruout the years
Aud love and laughter we have known TO
pay us for our tears.

HOW FRANCE COMES BACK.

Poland's minister of finance is
quoted in the dispatches as saying
that the United States. unless it is dis
posed to lose the whole s16S,00o, 900 it
has already advanced to Poland, must
make up it's mind to the furnishing of
continuous support. A different atti-
tude has been evinced by the French
government, which, in meeting its OBJ
legations to investors in the United
States, has arranged for the shipment
of $50, 900 to this country in case
of necessity, while it has issued a re-
funding loan of $1OO,000,00 at 8 per
cent interest subject to retirement
provisions of a satisfactory nature.
This attractive rate of interest,
coupled with the evidence showing
that genuine economic recovery is taxi
ing place in France, undoubtedly
made this loan appeal strongly to the
average investor. The new loan was
over-subscribed almost before the
books were fairly opened.
One of the chief reasons for the
rapid recovery of France from the ef-
fects of the war, it is said, is that in
no other country in the world is prop
erty so evenly and so widely distrib-
uted. In France, property is taxed in
proportion to its rental value. In
1918, the last normal year, assess
ments on unimproved property num-
bered 1892 900; on improved prop
erty, they totaled 6,47S.O 600. AS COM
pared with this total of 1870, 900 as
ssssments, there were at that date as
900, 900 adults living in France.
The farming element of France,
which contributes very largely to the
economic wealth of the country. has
been greatly enriched by the war. At
present there are 100000 peasants
cultivating land which they them
selves own. Their holdings represent
IS per cent of the tillable land in
France, including the reconstructed
section OF the liberated regions.
! Official figures for the year 1918
show that there were 100000 deposit
tors in private savings banks and e.
/ 1000 depesitors in state savings
banks. The distribution of capital in
lvestments in Industrial securities and
( in bank stocks is also unusually wide
The Paris-Lyon- Mediterranean rail-
road, for instance, has capital stock OF
/ 7s9.s72 shares. The average number
/ of shares held by any one person OF
/ this stock is nine. The outstanding
! bonds of the same company number
/ 10.53S.7s6. The average holding OF
these bonds is 81. These same facts
apply equally 10 the other great rail-
way systems Of France, over 2,3O0,o0c
/ people owning either bonds or share:
/ in French railroads.
The capital stock of the Bank Of
France is held by s1.15I persons, TO-

Keep Your Own Home-2.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Woxad's Highest Psid Woman Wzisc=.


This is just as true when a woman
goes to live with her children as when
she goes to live with perfect strangers.
Now it takes a woman of heroic mould
to be able to step down and out grace
fully, and that is why mother almost
always becomes peeVish and jealous
and suspicious and nagging, and raises
the Old Harry with her in-laws just
as soon as she breaks up her own
home and goes to Mary's or Johns
I say nothing here of the fact that
statistics show that mothers-in-law
wreck more homes than all the vamps
and sirens put together. 1 speak only
of the misery, the inconsistencies, of the
woman who is idiotic enough to give
up her home to become a hanger-on
in somebody else's house, where she
has to be either loathed buttinski, or
else keep the emergency brake
clamped down good and hard in every
impulse. and wear a perpetual Maxim
silencer on her tongue.
AS for Mother knocking off work
at middle age, and sitting down with
folded hands to wait for death, that
way lies suicide and madness. From
fifty to seventy Is generally the
healthiest time of a woman's whole
life, and she is a million times better
off, and happier in eve ~ way, for hav-
who sit with idle hads who get senile,
and tiresome, and afflicted with mel
ancholia. It's the women who have no
interests of their own who turn into
scandal mongers and gossips.
The best preventive in the world
for rheumatism and govt is house
work. The real elixir of perpetual
youth is to keep busy, and the woman
who gives these up to go and sit in
somebody's chimney corner signs her
own death warrant Therefore I urge
every woman to keep her own house,
and do her own work or to hang on
to her job If she has one, and so live
her own life to the very last minute
that it is possible to her.
And the comfort a woman gets out
Of being surrounded by her own be-
longings is not to he told in words
woman's furniture to her consists
not of mere tables and chairs, and
beds and china. They are memory and
association; all that has made her life
story, and they tell her tales, etc,
which she is never weary of listening
to. All this makes them far more
precious in her sight, no matter how
tawdry they are in reality. than the
splendid period furnishings of her
prosperous son and daughters. These
are her lares and penates and sha
ceases to worship them at her peril.
A home is a woman's anchor fl
nancially as well as spiritually.
once asked Hetty Green what she
would advise a woman to do with a
small amount of money. Buy a
home" she answered. I'm good times
she can keep the home. If evil days
come, the home will keep her"
So again I urge every woman to
keep her own home, and live in II.

The only way to. reduce taxes is
first to reduce expenditures. If
money be spent, there must be taxes
raised in corresponding degree. But
the tax laws can be so amended as to
render them less burdensome and the
cost of collection can be greatly re-
dueed. These things could be accom-
plished by substituting a tax on sales
for the excess profits tax.
