A MENACE To
country LIFE

Will our cities eventually bring dis
aster to our country towns?
In doing this will they also bring
ruin upon themselves?
In accomplishing both of, these will
they become a menace even to the sta
bility Of the republic?
There is grave danger that all of
these may happen.
A few years ago IN any city wo-
man could be secured to clean house
for S1.5O or $500 a day. Now they
receive as high as $500 a day and
three meals.
Carpenters, plasterers, bricklayers
and others in the trades formerly were
content with $500 and $500 a day.
Now they demand as high as $500,
$1,000 and more day and get it.
In the factories, on the railroads, in
the offices, behind the counters, every
where the same story is told in the big
cities. Wages are mounting ard the
amount of work accomplished in a
day is decreasing.

ABOUT YOUR
LIBERTY BOND

The United States Government Dor
rowed money from you to finance the
War. You hold the Governments
promise to pay you back This prom
Use is called a Liberty Bond or Victory
Note. On this Bond is stated the con-
ditions under which the Government
borrowed the money from you.
For instance: If you hold a Bond
Of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 18th of
each year until maturity, you will re-
ceive interest on the amount you paid
for the Bond. Other issues bear other
rates of interest and other maturity
dates, all of which are clearly stated
on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until
the date when the Government pays
you in full for it, you do not need to
worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next. You
and Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and Meth
err will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
you a dollar for every dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because SO many people are Of
fering to sell their Bonds. If the mar
ket is flooded with tomatoes, you can
buy them cheap, but if everyone is
clamoring for tomatoes and there are
few to be had, the price goes up. The
same is true of Liberty Bonds Short
sighted people are dumping them on
the market, and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of a Liberty Bond is this:
Hold to the bond you bought during
the war; it is as safe and sound as
the United States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
Tow rate as you can afford IF you
held them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value.
You will also receive good interest on
your investment
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and
buy more.

Profiteering in clothing and other
necessities and Injuries of life -four
lshes unchecked. There is no dimin-
ishing of this crime because city peo-
pie have gone insane on the subject of
spending
Merchants have made the bold state
ment that they have offered excellent
articles at moderate prices only to
have them rejected by the buyers as
too cheap" Unable to dispose of
them. they have tagged the same arti-
cles at double the price and they have
been Immediately snapped up by the
profigate spenders.
We might fill the columns Of this
paper with such cases and still tell
only small portion of the story.
This riotous use of money in >the CT
ties is having an injurious effect up
on country life. 1t is enticing our
young men and women from US and is
leaving the rural communities strand
ed for help. 1t is forcing US to pay
exorbitant prices for commodities
when we are curtailed in our power of
production and in our earning capa-
city.
The false lure of sudden wealth is
proving too much for the country boy
and girl. They are forsaking their
happy and peaceful homes and are
rushing in droves to the call of the
cities gone mad
The bubble has been inflated almost
to the bursting point. 1t cannot for
ever stand the increasing strain In
time it must collapse.
Already city banks are curtailing
their loans for building purposes. 1t
is necessary to stop the alarming in
f1ation of fictitious values. Follow
ing this will come a cessation of acti-
witty in the building trades, with $1,000
day laborers looking for jobs that
are not to be had
Similar conditions may be expected
in other lines, with money becoming
tighter as work ceases.
Added to this will be the scarcity of
food. If farmers lose their help they
can not produce food necessary to feed
the cities and the country towns.
A country town is dependent largely
upon the farming community adjacent
to it. If those farms become non-pro.
ductive for lack of help the country
town is heavy sufferer.
And that is the condition in which
we fear we will soon find ourselves in
the country towns.
The insanity of the cities has done
it's work only too well.
If that insanity is checked in time
disaster may yet be avoided. But if
not checked soon the crash will inevi-
tably come-and then the deluge.
Wholesale assininity has never yet
beer. known to produce any permanent
beneficial results. But it has toppled
kings from their thrones, overturned
republics, and let loose the widest
passions of ungovernable mobs.
The rural population of America is
not overjoyed at the prospect the CT
ties have forced upon the nation we
revere.

SEES IT

see everything, hear everything, know
everything and publish everything
that is going on.
But sometimes he doesn't see it
doesn't want to see it-because, being
an editor and trained to weigh all an
giles of every question, he knows that
it is better for the community if he
does not see it.
There are many things the editor
does not publish because they contain
no element of news are distressing to
many innocent people, and their publ
cation could serve no good purpose
Sometimes the editor is criticised
for his forbearance, but at least some
of his critics do not stop to remember
that possibly the paper is just as for
bearing regarding an incident or two
of their own lives.
There are many things to be consid-
cred before putting it in cold type.

Many persons with a few hundreds

around for opportunities for invest

opportunities, but many of them are
far from safe.
The daily press is full of offers of
mining stocks, municipal and building

Some of these are unquestionably safe

from it. The difficulty is to tell the
good from the bad
The country is making feeble and
spasmodic efforts to recover from it's
orgy of price imitation and spending,
with but Indifferent success.
If a panic or severe stringency in

Summer is with us again and the

Lack of fire protection is one of the
most serious drawbacks to the average

essential requirements of a success

this town whom the Lord has endow-

employ a portion Of their wisdom,
sagacity and ingenuity in raising this
town to a higher plane OF protection
against fire. We need it.
