Importance of Thrift by the People

TN A letter to the American Banker,
Asecretary of the Treasury Mellon eX-
plains the policy of the government
in the sale of treasury savings certiti-
Gates. The letter answers the appeal
of the Kansas State Bankers associa-
ton requesting that the federal gov
eminent stop the sale of these certiti-
Gates because the practice is detri-
mental to the agricultural interests
of that state.
The letter states that the govern
ment has no intention in its savings
campaign of entering into competition
with existing banking agencies and
that the interests of the treasury and
of the banks are not at all in con-
flict in the promotion of savings among
the people. Secretary Mellon says
that he would welcome greater coop
Grafton from the banks of the country
in the sale of treasury savings GER
tificates to investors. The Atter says
in part:
' among the early debt maturities
are more than six hundred million
dollars In war savings stamps, which
mature on January 1. 1923. The pur-
pose of tile new issue of treasury saw
ings certificates Is to aid the gov
eminent to finance these obligations
and also to stimulate savings activl-
ties generally. If the habit of thrift

Colored Canvas Now the Proper Caper

THOSE who use heavy canvas COW

cry and materials against the weather
can almost double the life of the fab
ric if they treat it to afford protection
against light as we'll as moisture and
mildew, the Department Of Agriculture
declares in recent circular.
After series of experiments with
canvas in which waterprOotng mix
lures were made with the addition Of
earth pigments, such as are used in
paints, the eXperimenters arrived at
the conclusion that keeping out the
light from the inner fibers affords con-
siderable protection to the fabric
Since several pigments are suitable,
there is more or less freedom of
choice as to color, the statement con-
tinues, For a buff or khaki color, yel-

buff or light brown, raw sienna is
good; for dark red or reddish brown.

Court by Mail and Repent at Leisure

A typical excerpt from one of the
many letters reads:
r"I want to know if can start suit
against my husband. We married
through a correspondent club adyer-
tised in the newspapers, and he sent
me money by post office money order
to come and marry him. He also
Courted me by mail. After the we'd
ding he failed to support and take care
of me- and finally left me altogether
through the Post Office department, as
our business, such as arranging for
the marriage details, was transacted
entirely by mail"
In replying to the deserted wives
Solicitor Edwards points out that the
Post Office department deals only with
the collection, dispatch and distrbu-
ton of the mails and has no control
over the persuasive language written
in sealed envelopes by INSCRIPTIONS
lovers seeking matrimonial alliances
OF course a censorship of letters by
the Post Office department would be
a blow at the buIwarks of our liberty.
Imagine a cynical post office official
reading our letters to our best girls
And yet-just think how many fool
letters would be suppressed and the
work of the breach of promise courts

CHAPTER TX
The Face at the Window.

1t was five days since Wilton had
been to the portage. He had not meant
to see Molly in his dependency, but
now the discovery of Chambers
-treachery came with an invigorating
shock and aroused his fighting instinct
against Bowyer.
He took the road across the Muskeg.
Wilton saw the girl upstairs, at the
factors side. A book was on her knees
and a lighted lamp behind her. She
was not talking to him, however, but
staring out of the window, and yet she
did not see Wilton as he came to the
door.
At his knock she came downstairs
more slowly than usual. When she
opened the door to him he saw that
she was trembling. Her cheek was icy
cold beneath his kiss.
"Come in, Will have something to
say to YOU" she said.
He put his arm about her, and they
went into the store together. He could
feel that she was trembling all the
while.
what is it, Molly?" he asked, look
ing into her face and seeing tears in
her eyes. "What is it, dear?"
I'm afraid that we've both made a
mistake, WILL" she answered.
Wilton laughed. Once or twice Molly
had questioned his love for her, but he

that the United States, in making the
original arrangements had insisted, In
substance, that, though the other al
lies were to use the money borrowed,
it was only on British security the
United States was prepared to lend ii.
"In answer to these inquiries" Mr..
Mellon stated, at should be said the
obligations Of foreign governments in
question had their origin almost en-
tirely in purchases made in the Unit
ed States, and the advances made by
the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
THE statement that the United
States government virtually insisted
on guarantee by the British govern
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on a miSap-
prehensiOf. Instead of insisting on a
guarantee or any transaction Of that
nature, the United States government
took the position that it would make
advances to each government to cover
the purchases made by that govern
ment and would not require any gov
eminent to give obligations for adj
vanCes made to cover the purchase of
any other government Thus, the adj
vanCeS to the British government, evil
denced by its Obligations were made
to cover it's own purchases"

permanency of marriages effected
through matrimonial advertisements
in newspapers and through mail court
ships.
Solicitor Edwards of the legal divi-

daily besieged with letters from de-
serted brides, distraught and frantic in
their short-lived marriages, asking for
governmental assistance in locating
runaway husbands and pleading for
aid in prosecuting them.
In some instances these wives
blame the postal service for their
marital woes, demanding redress and
insisting that as they were wooed en-
tirely through the mails the depart
ment is directly responsible.
