THEY’RE IN INDIANAPOLIS, TOO

It Would Mean the Collapse of the Empire If They Made a Change. The country yawp leaned against the walls of the Claypool lobby, Indianapolis, and watched the hurrying crowd of editors and war-work-ers as they surged back and forth. At his right and a little in front of him sat two gentlemen in earnest conversation, one of them emphasizing his remarks with loud voice and flourishing of fists; at his left, against one of the col-

wWafcgjSi The Best Tribute you can pay to the memory of the departed is a monument of stone. That will endure when all other memorials have decayed and vanished.

Such a monument need be no more expensive than you choose. Come to us, and we will show you that good taste is not measured by dollars, neither is an artistic design. We can make a monument you may well be proud of for a surprisingly small sum. Will H. Mackey Rensselaer, Ind.

umns, leaned a tall, gray-moustached man with twinkling eyes and high forehead. He was listening to the “loud’’ man's expression of patriotism, as that individual roared: "We've got to crush the Germans if we leave the bones otf a million men to bleach upon the fields of Europe; it must be done.” Then the tall old man leaned across the intervening space and tapping the noisy patriot upon the knee, said: "Good; I like that sentiment and your sort of patriotism. Of course you have given a son or two to the bleaching fields you refer to, and can therefore talk from the heart.” The other reddened, swallowed, and then hesitatingly said: "Well, no; you see I am too young for that, only about thirty years of age.” •

The old man looked at him keenly for a moment and said: “You are a fine, healthy young fellow; then why the hell don’t you go over there, taking a chance of bleaching yourself? 1 have two boys over there, and I want ’em to practice what they preach—fight.” By this time the wind was pretty well out of the loud talker. His blood pressure appeared to be pretty high, but where the brain force is low there is. little danger in that. “Indeed, sir, I would have been there long ago, but I am engaged in a very important industry and my place could not be filled.” The. old man gazed at him reflectively while he stroked his moustache. “I see,’’ he said, “and of

course owe you an apology; you are one oft hose menw hose retirement from the place off your immediate surroundings would endanger the workings of the machinery of this hemisphere; you must stay at home. The great circle you fill can never be supplied, and if you were forced into the ■ ranks America would collapse. I’ve seen ’em before, but your remarks, so laden with fiery patriotism and bleaching bone heroism, led me to belie*ve that you had either been shot through the diaphram over oh the western front or were carrying at least one cork leg, maybe two.” And he sauntered down the lobby while the country yawp followed to shake hands with him at the turn. —Fowler Tribune.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

The war will end some blessed day, home day the strife will cease' th© kings will put their guns away, and boost the boon of peace. The captains then will drop the tools which made the world forlorn, and drive their teams of sorrel mules along the rows of corn. While still the tide of battle rolls, while still we hear the din, it seems to countless weary souls that war has

always been.. Three years, they say, the strife has raged, across the mourning seas, but it would seem that war’s been waged for three eternities. The days that reek of blood and tears pass slowly o'er the stage; to weary hearts three gory years become an endless age. We're looking forward to the day when peace with honor comes, when kings will put their swords away,

and soak their battle drums. 1 long to see the colonels drop their silinig snickersnees, and buckle down to raise a crop of beans and early peas. I long to see field marshals hang their batons from a nail, and then get busy with the gang, to earn some bloodless, kale.

Safeguarded Investments Are your dollars Loafers or Workers? Money that is not invested pays no returns, any more than grain in the bin will grow crops unless planted. Every man or woman with money should put that money to work. Jay Gould once said that SIOO invested in the right thing at the right time would earn as much as a man steadily employed. He died worth hundreds of millions. The average man or woman knows nothing about how or where to invest money to get good returns from it. It is our business to advise investors where and how to invest, where investments oan earn the best returns with the utmost of safety. Brokerage Department We buy or sell listed or unlisted stocks and bonds. If you are anxious to buy or sell let us help you. We can probably buy the stock you want cheaper than you can. We can sell your stocks at the best price or we can exchange non-dividend-paying stock for stock that is paying dividends. Write to us about it. Underwriting Department We underwrite the selling of the stock of companies but before accepting an issue of stock for sale we make a most thorough and complete investigation of the proposition. It has to grade mp A-l or we will not handle it. It is this type of investment that Jay Gould alluded to in the quotation above—- “ The right thing at the right time.” How To Buy Stock We will purchase stock for you for cash or on the deferred payment plan. We make a .. moderate charge for carrying stock on the deferred payment plan but you become entitled to all- dividends, bonuses, etc., the stock you buy earns from the date your first payment is recorded. Let us explain this plan fully. Two Unusual Opportunities We have at present two exceptionally attractive opportunities. Both are gilt-edge investments with large profit possibilities.
