and from that day TO this have
been eating anything and every
thing I wanted without sign OF

Have You Any Money to Invest?

Some people who periodically re-
sponded TO the governments war
time call for money and now hnd
that the Liberty bond which they
bought Of Uncle Sam for 800 is
worth $500 in the open market, are
declaring themselves off government
finance for life. They are seeing
themselves fooled and cheated, so
they think In the name Of patriotism.
and they are sick Of the whole thing.
An Old adage says the place TO find
your money 10 where you lost IL.
Passing OYER the opportunities for
argument which the proverb offers. il
leads 10 the sound and universally
followed business maxim. that the
beet v$ay. and in fact the only way
to neutralizc an Improbable invest
rnent is 20 buy more of the same in
vcAtment when the price is low, pro-
vtdeJ. Of course. that the security
behind the Investment IS perfectly
good.
There is 10 better security in the
known universe than that offered by
the United States government, and
Liberty bonds are bound to return TO
par within few years, in the opin-
ion Of banking officials. Conditions
unforeseen and unthought Of when
the bonds we're issued have been re-
sponsibie for the drop in the market
price. Likewise no one could have
anticipated that invcstors would ever
Ia ve such opportunity as now to
purchase al low prices securities
yielding good rates Of interest. To-
dsy they are offered at an extremely
attractive price, as advertisers say,
no, only because of the actual re-
turn in interest which the investor
uilI receive on the amount Of money
invested, but for the additional profit
that will be made when the bonds
advance in price. This. the Federal
reserve governor says. will surely
happen at maturity and probably
within a few years.
The opportunity TO get 800 worth
Of absolutely. safe investment for
$500 which is nearly 20 per cent. off,
should appeal TO all thrifty people.
Tho reserve governor feels that
large employers should offer oppor-
tunities for purchases of Liberty
bonds on partial payment plans such
al we're adopted during the war.
Thus the INVESTOR would be able to
redeem himself on his investment.

Promises That Could Not 30 kept

Cropping out at every turn are evil
dcnces Of hostility in foreign coun-
tries toward this country, a hostility
seemingly more among the people OF
those countries than in the hearts OF
the leaders. Much of this we believe
is born of disappointments. For
some reason they have expected this
country to help them realize their
ideals. both visionary and practical
Disillusioned they react to the other
extreme. This phase Of present con
ditions reveal in certain statements
Of Roosevelt an insight almost pro-
phetic.
As illustration Of this take these
statements form the notebook of John
j. O'Leary. Jr., one Of the newspaper
correspondents with whom the ex-
President used to talk so freely. notes
which Houghton Mif1in Co. are pub
fishing in book form:
What am afraid Of is that this
man Wilson will arouse hopes that
never can be realized, and that the
United States will suffer from the
resentment that must follow. Then
the very crowds that acclaim him
now will rise up and damn him and
us along with him. and well be left
AZ We were before we asserted our
manhood and went into this war, the
best-hated people in Europe.

A Business Mans View Of Europe

The United States and the inhab'-
tants thereof can with profit take a
leaf out of Europe's book OF recon
struction in the opinbn of President
VAUGHAN of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works who has just returned from an
extensive business trip through cen
trail and eastern Europe. He records
his view that European nations are
"a pidly getting on their feet again
and that all the wisdom of the uni
verse is not contained in the minds
Of tho multitudinous commissioners
swarming all over the continent at
the bchest of the administration at
Washington.
Call them all bach, call them all
back" said Mr.. Nauclain. The
people Of Europe have had the
good sense to put at the head Of
their affairs the men as smart as
anyone could wish for. / know that
from close personal observation as a
business man. They don't need the
help Of any Office boys.
Call them all back, / say, with the
exception of the military commission
ers. who have some business to be
there. Get them home quickly, and
make them to some real, useful work.
We need everybody here to speed UP
production and bring DOWN the cost
of living. The people OF Europe are
smart enough to know that you can't
get production without work. Conse-
quently, they work.
Those commissioners, you know,
simply overrun Europe, except that
from time to time they send home re-
ports to the effect that Europe is
starving"
He then went on to say that he
saw nobody starving. but that food
conditions are about the same az
here. except that food is little
cheaper there because of more intcn-
sive cultivation and production. His
observation was that everybody in
Europe works, from which he de-
duces that if everybody in this coun-
try would work, and work his share,
conditions would Immediately i'm
prove. AS natural circumstance a
wave Of high prices, high wages and
hot air follows every war, he says,
but discounts panic talk as danger
Gus nonsense "All We need to do is
to keep cool, have confidence and roll
up our sleeves and go to work." is
his bit Of good advice.
