that here and the world over there is
a similar injustice differing only in
degree from what those French in
vestors in the Bolivian loan have suf-
fered. The insurance policy of S10,-
900, to pay the premiums on which
some father and husband raked and
scroped for years, was invested after
his death, say, at per cent for his
widow and orphans. In all those
years he counted upon it to yield
them $500 year. Now it yields them
in effect only 5000 a year, because
the dollars of income out of that poll
cy will buy for the widow and or
phans only half what the husband or
father carrying the policy through the
years believed it would buy them. And
SO for the time being it is with all the
invested savings of the past-with
the endowment funds of schools,
churches and hospitals; with funds
carefully and lovingly put away for
the support of the blind, the crippled
and even the hopelessly insane.
It is all gross miscarriage of for
tune. Nevertheless don't let anybody
forget when he is working and earning
today that he can save and invest for
his old age or for the family he will
leave after him on exactly the reverse
basis of the unlucky French investors
in the Bolivian loan now getting back
only 30-odd cents on the dollar
The man who today turns his back
on extravaganza and squander, who
resolves to save what he ought to
save and who does save it, can invest
his saved dollar bills to day on the
basis of their becoming later So bills.
Was there ever before such a
chance to make provision for the old
age of ones self and for the future of
ones family? With such an oppor-
tunity, probably never again to occur
in the history of the world, could there
be anything more foolish, more wick
ed than for the worker and Garner to
spend his all when he might save part
of it? Could there be anything more
selfish than for him to waste dollar
bill today when he knows that some
day, perhaps only year or two hence,
his improvidence may cost the children
he leaves behind him a 81 bill Ed

NOn-PrOducers.

Ten thousand statemen fune and
fret, upon the well-known stump, and
tell how crisis should be met, and
carted to the dump. They elocute un-
til they're hot, and rant and tear their
buds; and it would help things out a
lot if they'd start raising spuds. By
growing Burbanks here and there,
they'd help a land distraught; we need
potatoes more, | swear, than we need
Gems of Thought. Ten thousand poets
twang their Tyres until they break the
strings and boost our affairs and our
fires, our bulwarks and such things.
But nations are not saved by tunes,
however nobly played; the poets
should be growing prunes, which is a
better trade. For prunes the hungry
children cry, and stricken parents pray
while bughouse poets drool and sigh
of temples in Cathay. Ten thousand
agents seek our doors to sell us fool
ish books and they'd be far more use
full bores if they piled reaping hooks.
The country's full of well dressed
skates who grow no hay or straw, pro-
duce no pumpkins, figs or dates

BARGAIN RATES
IN DEBT PAYING

The iinevitable financial hardships,
the unexpected economic wrongs suf-
fered by France and other war-worn
countries of the European continent
are specifically emphasized by the Boil
avian loan now widely discussed in
OUR money markets because of it's ex-
traordlnary circumstances of paying
debts at bargain rates.
Before the war two loans were made
TO the government of Bolivia out of
savings of the prudent, frugal and
Self+denying French. When the mon
ey was lent the more than 50,000,000
francs in which the total loan was
expressed was worth some $10,000,-

received some S10,0O0,O00 and now

TACT

Tact is the oil that makes CONNER
cial wheels go round; modifies an ir-
ate customer; makes a permanent
friend of a critic and an ally of an en-
envy.
A tactful answer turneth away
wrath.
Tact gilds the bitter pill of reproof
or warning when it is necessary, and
so administers the dose that no feel
ing of injustice remains as a ranking
"root of bitterness" Tact writes the
angry letter, but puts it in the "never
post locker.
True tact requires keen sympathy;
a ready appreciation of the other fell
lows point of view; an intuitive read
ing of human nature; well-control-
led temper; mouth like a clam. These
virtues are not picked off every hedge
row, but are part of the golden fruit
which grows in the garden of discip-
line, watered by experience, and
brought to perfection by self-control

TRUCK Statesmen
FEAST AT ELKS

! Nash truck men, the men who are
selling "Quads" all over the country
made up merry party at the Elks
club on Tuesday evening when the
convention guests forgot business for
few minutes and gave one evening
to feasting and little frivolity. At
| the dinner which was set in the big
lodge room of the club, covers were
laid for more than three hundred
guests, and practically every one of
! the larger cities of the nation were
! represented. Dinner was served at z
O'Clock, but before the hour set for the
/ dinner, the members of the truck sales
organization had a merry little in
formal party in the Pompeian room
with plenty of music and fun making.
Kroh Pleads for Confidence.
A. r. Kroh, of Akron, Ohio, connect
ed with the Goodyear Rubber company,
and a man who has made wide ex-
animation of conditions all over the
country, was the principal speaker for
the evening. He made strong plea
to the truck statesmen present to make
an effort to aid in the development Of
diversified farming all over the nation.
He declared that the confidence Of the
nation was being shaken by a few
scared bankers and he insisted that the
greatest duty a red-blooded American
could do for his country right now was
to get in touch with senator's and
representatives and stiffen up their
backbones and see that legislation for
the advancement of the farmer was
made. He showed clearly what was be-
held that this development was pro-
ducing renewed prosperity in all
parts Of the country. He was no
prophet of hard times or panic.
President Nash Speaks.
Charles w. Nash was also speaker
at the meeting and he told the truck
men not to get the idea that the Nash
company was the only company in the
country which could make trucks. He
declared that he was proud of the
confidence that the people had shown
in the product of the Nash factory,
and that the highest aim of the di-
rectors, the factory workers and the
selling force was to show the people
that this confidence could be retained
by honest effort on the part of all or
CARNATIONS. After the speech making
was over, the truck men remained at
the club for an informal smoker.
The convention will conclude with
meetings at the factory Offices this
afternoon.

Donlinick Salerno, aged 18 years, and
employed as driver at the local Off
ces of the United States Railway Ex-
press company, was arrested by De-
tective Rock and Police Officer M Civ
ern on Tuesday evening and he AS be-
ing held on charges of grand larceny

be under the value of 5000. Salerno
will not be given hearing until after
the investigation is concluded.
