THE LIBERTY
BOND INVESTIGATION

Appointment of a select committee
to inquire into the depreciation of the
market value OF liberty bonds is pro
vided in a bill introduced in the house
by Representative Walter w. Magee,
Republican, of New York.
Under the bill the committee would
consist of seven members, four Re-
publicans and three Democrats, and
report to the house at the earliest
possible moment its recommendation
as to what legislation, if any, con-
gress should enact for the purpose of
increasing the value of liberty bonds.
In explanation Magee says /:
Il introduced the resolution upon
demands from my home people that
congress sit up and take notice of
the great depreciation in the market
value of liberty bonds. The following
is a sample communication from one
of my most patriotic constituents:
" If there is any one thing in my
opinion hat is doing much to unsettle
the United States government, it is
the attitude of the government i n per-
hitting by any actual depreciation the
value of these bonds. For myself, l
feel mighty touchy on this subject.
In order to keep up with the crowd
and do what | thought was right /
purchased about $4,000 worth of
these bonds, and last week | sold
the last of them and my aggregate
penalty for loyalty amounted to ST.
300.'
THE subject matter within the
scope of the resolution would include
several propositions, such as exemp-
ton from taxation, increase in rate
Of interest, real causes of d%eprecia-
ton, fixed policy as to further bond
issues. and protection of multitudes of
small patriotic holders.
Il do not know what should be done
but l feel hat there is a solemn obli-
cation pom the congress which au-
thorized the issue of billions of dol
l%arsvworth OF these bonds which We're
sold to thousands upon thousands of
patriotic purchasers at great sacrifice
to find out whether anything can be
done to appreciate their value, and,
if so, to apply the remedy. This a
be promptly and effectively done
through a committee appointed to in
quire into the matter, and obtain the
views of financial experts who ought
to know what legislation, if any. the
congress should enact having for its
purpose the appreciation of the value
of such bonds.
"The millions Of holders of these
wal securities are justly entitled to
relief and I hope that the congress
will meet its responsibility in the
premises squarely and promptly"

Within the lifetime of one man, this

into prosperous commonwealth of
peac~e-loving people. Gone are the

PEP FOR
COUNTRY BOYS

The old-time country boy used
to work along in a routine way. feel
ing that it would be many years be-
fore he would have a chance to be-
come a farmer and business man for
himself.
But you start a boy in a pig club,
calf club, garden club, or other SINH
lar organization, and he feels the
new spirit of enterprise prompting
him to do his best. The club boys of
1920 are no more like the country
boys of 1910, than a hustling chamber
of commerce is like on old-time
Sleep Hollow village. In Kent coun-
ty, Delaware, the boys are working
for 1000 members this year. This
would be a good slogan for the boys
of Nevada.

RIGHT;
IF NNSKILLED"


IF "HNSKILLED"
Rude and unskilled hands have
been thrust r~ecklessly amidst the in
~terlacing strands of human destiny"
declares Homer S. Cummings, Demo-
cratic chairman, in picturing the hor-
rid excuses of Republican national
legislators. But there is a modicum
of truth in the modern Homer's ora
tory. The "interlacing strands
woven by Mr.. Wilson, which sought
to tie up the United States to an I'M
principled group of foreign monar-
chies, were treated precisely as Ho-
mer relates. They were right rude
Republican hands that thrust them
selves amidst those strands, tore them
asunder, and restored to America the
separate and equal station" pro-
claimed in the Declaration of indie
p~endence.

NONE OF Us


Some things about the scheme of
life that cause our neighbors lots Of
strife, don't worry us at all. Was
Eve or Adam most to blame for biting
the apple game that caused the
primal fall? Well, we don't know.
We never tracked their footsteps
down to learn that fact, and, really,
we don't care. But as far as we have
been advised, we wouldn't be a bit
surprised if both of them we're there.

FEW STATES DOING FINER
WORK THAN OUR OWN UTAH

According TO Miss Catherine Math-

of the cities of the United States,
out of the twenty states that are fol
lowing up government work in es-
tablishing child welfare stations, net
one is doing the work as it is being
done in Utah. Their plans are not as
comprehensive and they are not put
ting the work through in any such
manner as it is being done here. The
workers, who are responsible for the
excellent plans and execution Of the
work in Salt Lake City, and other
Utah towns. are Miss Blanche Cooper
of the Utah Agricultural college. who
is the director of the nutritional
work. Miss Catherine Mathews,
health secretary of the board of edu-
cation; and Miss Anne Critchlow Of
the welfare division of the Civic
Center. These specialists are CO.
operating and putting over one of the
most comprehensive educational and
preventive campaigns for child well
fare ever attempted in this state.
Since February, when they began
active work in teaching the mothers
and establishing health oenters, fif-
teen districts have sent leaders to
train at the Civic Center and have es-
tablished health centers which CORES
pond to the school districts. Miss
Mathews reports that there will be
five more centcrs in splendid working
order in about another month. The
object of this work is to make the
average mother in the normal family
find out the facts relating to nutrition
and TO learn the proper relation Of
weight and height in her children be-
tween the ages of and 9 years.
