and the demand for these forms of in

nothing alluring in these bonds at
their present prices as a speculation.
They cannot be very far from the top
so long as money seeks it's historic
lending or earning level.
These popular war issues were the
most widely distributed bonds in
America. They were taken by mil
lions of Americans who had never
seen bond and whose ideas about
such things were vague. They were
taken by the people for patriotic rea-
sons. plus reasons of saving and in
yestment, but one ought not to write
the plus mark very large. Patriotism
was the main reason that put these
bonds across. People We're told that
the security behind these bonds and
the interest return on them ought to
make them always worth their face
value in open market, and that in
time when money would be plentiful
for investment and, therefore, the in
terest yield on money low, these bonds
would be worth more than their face
value or redemption value. And it
may be so in the case Of the long
term issues.

Democratic Postage Stamps.

The new issues of postage stamps
Just put out by the German postal
department do not show the kaiser's
crowned head, but bear, instead, three
decidedly democratic designs-a
smith at the anvil. miner with pick,
chisel and hand car. and farmers
moving and sheaving grain.
One might seek an indication of the
governments attitude toward differ
ent branches of industry by the fact
that the stamps which show the
farmer are Of highest denomination
-160 pfennig-and that the miner
and the smith take second and third
rank, respectively. Much more inter-
esting, however and more significant,
is the fact that the crowned head is
no longer the symbol Of the German
state.

Government Periodicals.

Some idea of the extent to which
the United States government has
gone in the publication Of periodicals
is to be gained from the announce
ment just made in The Star Of tia
suspension of forty-one of the depaAf-
mental and bqireau magazines which
have for some years past been circu-
lating free among the people. Unless
there is new legislation, or unless the
Joint committee on printing deter
mines that these publications do not
fall under the ban of the law as It
stands. these issues will not again be
printed, and the government, It Is
estimated, will save perhaps million
dollars a year. But with the forty one
periodicals discontinued there will re-
main about ia of these public service
issues. At one time there we're no less
than 2S6 periodical publications bear
ing the government imprint, and the
total cost was about S2,500,000 a year.
These government Periodicals have
undoubtedly certain value. But 1t Is
a question whether that value is great
enough to warrant the continued use
of public money for their manufacture
and distribution. They carry much In
formation to the people. Yet the news
papers and the other magazines OF
private publication are doing the same.
The newspapers are in position and
are keenly anxious to print everything
that is Of real importance to the pub
lie welfare. 1t is not necessary for the
government to undertake special
printing for the propagation Of facts
or the teaching of lessons in conserva-
ton, in agricultural training and in
good citizenship and industry. The
technical bulletins prepared in the bu-
reaus and distributed occasionally,
perhaps periodically, to special points
and centers of use are valuable and
should be continued. They deal with
technical questions in a way that the
newspaper press cannot well handle
them.
! 1t is proposed that the joint print
| ing committee hold hearing on this
subject, and possibly, instead Of author
izing the resumption of the lately sus-
pended periodicals by reclassification
or recommending change OF law to
permit their renewal. the committee
may find that most of the remaining
government periodical prints can be
! lust as we'll discontinued without any
real loss to the people, but, in fact,
