\ NATION OF BOND-UOIDERs

Interest in bonds has increased as a
result of the rise of the various govern
ment ISSUES to par. 1t looks as if the
war bonds are going to continue rising.
thus giving their owners a comfortable
profit at maturity in addition to the as
sured income right along. One of the
leading financial authorities declares
that the trend of the bond market is
likely to be upward for several years.
With government bonds harder to get.
and with investors hungrier for bonds
than ever before, they naturally turn to
other issues-state and municipal and
corporation bonds. Most of these are al
most as sound as the government secur-
tiles, and they compensate in higher in
terest rates for their less complete Sc
curity.
The American people, then, may be
destined to become a nation Of hond-hold-
ers, as the French have been for gener-
ations. 1t is a good tendency, conducive
not only to steady and dependable effort
on investment but to better habit of
thrift than our people have been accus-
toned to in the past.

A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

President Harding is reported as ia
Yoring plan of cabinet reorganization
along business lines which includes. as
its most striking item, the merging of
the war department and the navy de-
partment. These two would constitute
a single department, covering the whole
field of national defense. 1t is said to
recommend itself from the practical ex-
perience of Great Britain and other for
eign powers, as well as from the testi-
mony of American business experts based
on the similar handling of private en-,
terprises.
The idea has been discussed for years
but there has never appeared to be so
much chance of its adoption The Pres
ident is expected to submit the matter
to congress, which alone can authorize
the change
There would be one cabinet officer in
stead of two, a secretary of national
Defense" with the specific work of each
branch of the department attended to
by an undersecretary for war and an
other for the navy. 1t would make no
great change in the routine conduct of
the departments, but they would be
more closely co-ordinated.
The recent war showed the need of
such co-orQination. The army and navy
are obliged to act together in war, and
ought to act together likewise in peace.
for efficiency and economy both, instead
of going their separate ways, overlap
ping in functions. duplicating effort
for appropriations and being
at loggerheads half the time on ques-
tons of policy.

TO CONTROL FLYERS.

Secretary of War Weeks should have
strong support from the public, as well
as from the President to whom he has
appealed, in his efforts to hasten the
federal control of aviation.
There is control of the army and navy
aviators, by their respective depart
ments, but there is no jurisdiction over
civilian flyers and there are no rules for
their conduct. Both are sought in a
bill pending in congress for the creation
of a bureau of aeronautics within the
department of commerce. The bureau
would establish rules for the air. license
pilots and exercise supervision over all
civilian flying. This measure is stuck

Buying Farms.
(Northfeld News.l

Much sympathy is expressed for young
men who want to buy farms but are, as
is claimed, unable to do so owing to
high prices. Yet if advertisements in
serted in farm and other journals of
property for sale are reliable, and there
is every reason to have faith in them.
the young man who has saved 81 900 or
more should be able to find good chance
where with industry and intelligence he
can win his way.
Young men desiring farms must ex-
pect to have saved and be able to invest
a reasonable amount of their own money
or secure the same from personal friends
Few people care to invest in a property
unless the purchaser takes a stake in it
himself.

The Shiny Automobile.
81. Johnsbury Caledonian.) }

Millions of people of limited incomes
are keeping automobiles. Some of them
feel at times that the machine is beyond
their means. Yet it seems to do the
family so much good that they dislike to
give it up.
Such folks often feel envious as they
look at newly painted and shiny automO-
biles with which the streets are filled,
while their faithful old car is weather
beaten and dingy. They sometimes feel
lacking in self respect as they drive their
ancient machine among those of later
vintage and more glorious appearance.
Yet they should hold up their heads.
Their credit at the grocer's may be bet
ter than some whose motors suggest
freer spending The first purpose of an
automobile is not to dazzle the onlookers
with new paint, but to reach destinations
and enjoy unfamiliar scenes.
