WHEELBARR0W

The old story about the foreman
who yelled at the new hand: "Get
away from that wheelbarrow! What
do you know about machinery" has
gotten many a laugh. But it is not
such bad advice at that. Many a
wage Garner would have saved his
money if someone had shouted SIM
liar advice at him, when he started to
load his savings into the wheelbar-
row of "Blue Sky" stocks specula-
ton and dump the money in the pile
of crooked promoter.
The first "blue sky" law was franz
ed by the State of Kansas in 1911,
to check the activities Of promoters
who had nothing hut the blue sky on
which to base their operations. Some
of the chances you take in monkeying
with unknown machinery may be es-
timated from the fact that less than
100 of the 1900 companies which
applied for licenses in that state the
first year the law was in operation
were able TO meet the requirements.
The wild cat stock wheel barrow
is easy and simple to operate-if you
hear the promoter tell it. All you
need is a strong back and weak
head. He will tell you that all you
have to do is to pile in your savings,
your Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps and wheel them over to
him in order to turn your money over
at thousand per cent. profit.
But if you listen to experienced
men you will find that it is wise to
investigate who the promoters of the
company are, what their title to the
property they are exploiting is based
upon, what commission they get and
whether your money is to be Vsed to
develop the property or to buy imou
sines for the promoters.

EASIER PLAN OFFERED

While the Treasury Departments
plans for the sale of Treasury Saw
ings Certificates and War Savings
Stamps are in the main very much
the same as last year, there are a
few changes that will be appreciated
by the present holders of the secur-
tiles.
Beginning January 2, 1920, 1918
issue of Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates in the 800 denomination. and
continuing after December 81, 1919.
the issue of 1919 Treasury Savings
Certificates in the denominations of
800 and $1,000, in both cases not
for cash sale but only in exchange for
1918 and 1919 War Savings Certifi-
Gates, respectively. 1t is anticipated
that many holders Of the 1918 and
1919 War Savings Certificates will
find it advantageous to change their
holdings into these Treasury Savings
Certificates, whose terms and condi-
tons are substantially the same as
those of the 1920 issue except for
their earlier maturity dates.
In addition to the advantages men
toned in the case of exchange of
1920 War Savings Certificates for
Treasury Savings Certificates, OPP
portunity for consolidating holdings,
and also for changing ownership is
provided.
Holders Of one or more War Saw
ings Certificates of the 1918 or 1919
issue which bear War Savings
Stamps having total maturity value
of 800 of some multiple of a hum
dred dollars, may exchange the GER
blllcdleS LOT the same maturity Nuluc
of Treasury Savings Certificates of
the corresponding issue. When two
or more War Savings Certificates are
offered for exchange, each one need
not bear its full complement oftwen-
ty War Savings Stamps, provided the
total value of the stamps aggregates
800, or some multiple of it. In the
matter of ownership the regulations
provide in effect that the Treasury
Savings Certificates taken in ex-
change may be made out in favor of
new and different owners, if the own
ers of the War Savings Certificates
so request. The exchanges may he
made at first and second-class post
offices or other post offices specially
designated by the postmaster gener-
al, at Federal Reserve Banks and at
the division of loans and currency of
the Treasury, but not at banks and
trust companies generally.

Pale Children Need

Unnatural for Children to be Pale
and ThIn-PaIeness Is Sign Of
Thin, Watery Blood
Prepared In Liquid and Tablet Form
Both Possess Identical Med
IcInaI Qualities

It is necessary for boys and girls
to laugh, romp, play and enjoy them
selves, for it is at that stage Of life
that the foundation is laid for future
health.
Prompt attention should be given
to the child who seldom laughs, whose
physical condition prevents playing
like the other children, whose appe-
t lite is poor and who tires easily -
If the lassitude is due to poor
blood, which is often the case, sim
pie, safe and pleasant remedy is with
in easy reach. Guides -Mangan
is just the tonic for pale, thin chill
dren. Guides Pepto-M angan contains
the very ingredients that increase and
enrich the blood, enabling it to sup
ply the entire body with the sorely
needed vigor, strength and vitality
that make happy, romping children.
For the convenience of the public
Pepto- Mangan is prepared in tablet
as well as liquid form. Both forms
possess exactly the same medicinal
properties.
When you ask the druggist for
Pepto-M angan, look for the name,
"Gude's" on the package. If it is not
there it is not Pepto- Mangan.

The bill to abolish capital punish
meat, which Senator Early proposes
to introduce at Frankfort, should be
killed without hesitation and without
delay.
In this country we punish too few,
not too many, murderers. Our homi-
eide statistics as a result are blot
upon our civilization. The plain rea-
son for prevalence Of crimes Of vio-
lence is rarity Of conviction. II will,
Of course, be agreed that if punish
ment were less severe convictions
would be more easily procurable.
That is the familiar argument Of the
crime promoting coddler Of criminals;
the amateur criminologist, who is full
of the milk of human kindness when
he considers the criminal, and con-
geniently forgetful Of victims Of
criminal violence.
In Kentucky the jury has choice
! between lie imprisonment end the
death penalty. Too often life i'm
prisonment is chosen when the death
penalty would be the juster penalty.
Rarely does offer" remain in prison
as long as twenty years. Between a
convicted criminal and service of
sentence stand the weakness of yield
ing executives, the clemency of par
ole boards, and the intrigues Of poll
ticians.
OF the many murderefs arraigned
few are convicted. OF the few con-
victed very few remain long in the
penitentiary. Occasionally a murderer
or rapist is hanged, good radiance.
The case then is closed. <Oftener the
perpetrator Of the. most atrocious of
crimes serves few years of life
sentence solemnly imposed and is
turned at large. The bloodthirsty
young Hargis who murdered his
father, so unnatural had his ferocity
become, is enjoying his freedom under
parole. Curtis Jett, who should have
been executed for the Marcum muir
der, who was proved guilty of the as
sassination Of James Coclxrell, acting
in both cases not from enmity, hut to
oblige, for hire. or other .compensa-
ton, the leader of his clan, is at large
under parole. Tom White, the noun
tain churl, who was called in by Cal
iahan and Hargis TO assist WViidd
Dog" in killing Marcum, was allowed
some time ago to return to his haunts
in the hills. Deaton, who aided in the
murder of Callahan, is out again,
The shameful list might be heightened
until the page in which this article
is printed would not contain the end
of it.
Remove from the list of penalties
for crime capital punishment and the
only powerful deterrent is removed.
|
Everyone knows that life imprison-
ment sentences, however solemnly
passed, are Pickwickian. The con-
victs do not serve them as a rule, or
greatly fear serving them. Upon com
mitment, they begin courses of con-
duct planned to awaken sympathy
and their friends outside begin the
courses calculated to stimulate SYM
pathy.
Punishment for the worst crimes
is too frequent and too mild. Abol-
ishment of capital punishment would
be an invitation to criminals to fol-
low their natural bent.-Courier-
