Money Makes the Wheels Go Round
Without cash neither commerce nor war can be carried on, says the Treasury Department. That is why the United States government is
floating a second Liberty bond issue. The de
partment explains the purpose of the Liberty
Loan as follows:
There are two ways by which a government
can raise money to conduct its business by tax ation and by bonds.
When taxes are levied every man must pay whether he can afford to or not ; when bonds are sold each man may invest only the amount he
can afford.
The bond issue is far more just to the salaried man and small wage earner but it also gives the
opportunity to evade assistance to the govern
ment if a man is so inclined.
"Uncle Sam" has implicit confidence in the
people of this country, in their loyalty and patriotism. He believes that when he sends out the word that money is needed, especially for so worthy a cause as equipping and provisioning the gallant troops sent abroad, there will be a liberal
response. Such was the case with the first Liberty loan, which was well oversubscribed. It remains to be seen how the second loan will fare. There have been murmurings that the public has not seized upon this bond issue with the avidity expected. In some places this may be true, but throughout the seventh federal reserve district the response has been gratifying and those in charge of the campaign believe the loan will be fully subscribed when the time limit Oct. 27 expires. Failure of the people to rally to the government with their surplus wealth in this time of need may necessitate imposing of war taxes spread over the entire population of the nation. Rally to your government and give the enemy a knockout with an oversubscription to the $3,000,000,000 asked.
Liberty bonds, up to the value of $5,000 are
exempt from every kind of tax.
The United States has never repudiated its
debts; Liberty bonds are an indebtedness of the
nation.
GREENSFORK, IND.
For the benefit of those who have not invest
ed in a Liberty bond the United States government, through the treasury department, has issued a statement showing how these bonds meet all the essentials of a good investment :
1. Security of principal the wealth of the
whole nation is behind them.
2. Security of income The interest is a part
of the government's expense ; should the govern
ment fail not even gold and silver would be of value. 3. Fair income return 4 percent is a fair return on such security; bonds are also convertible into others of higher rate, if issued. 4. Marketability United States bonds are very active in open market. 5. Value as collateral greatest of any security, having the credit of the United States back of them. 6. Tax exemption exempt from all taxes up to $5,000 except estate or inheritance taxes. 7. Freedom from care registered in the name of the holder and the government will send interest direct semi-annually. 8. Acceptable duration Period of loan is
considered an advantage payable within lifetime of young person, and to heirs of an Older person. 9. Acceptable denomination issued in $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and multiples of $1,000. 10. Potential appreciation in the past U. S. war bonds have increased in value after the end of the war, and there is every reason to believe t these bonds will do likewis.

In ihe Higher Places
By Henry David Thorbeau.
E hug the earth how rarely we mount! :Me-
thinks we might elevate ourselves a little more. We might climb a tree; at least, I found my ac
count In climbing a tree once. It was a tall white pine on the top of a hill; and though I got wellpitched. I was well paid for it, for I discovered new mountains in the horizon
which I had never seen before, so much more of the earth and the heavens. I might have walked about the foot of the tree for , three score years and ten, and yet I should
never have seen them. But above all I discovered around me it was near the end of June on the ends of the topmost branches only, a few minute and delicate red conelike blossoms, the fertile flower of the white pine looking heavenward. Tell of ancient architects finishing their works on the tops of columns as perfectly as on the lower and more visible parts! Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest, only toward the heavens, above men's heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows. The pines have developd their delicate blossoms on the highest twigs of the wood every summer for ages, as well as over the heads of her red, children as of her white ones; yet scarcely a farmer or hunter in the land has ever seen them.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON
THE PURR OF A CAT AND THE SYMPATHY OF A SERVANT T do not know how long I sat looking dumbly at the shattered pieces of glass, all that was left of my treasured vase. I wa3 stunned at the storm of anger In Dicky which I had aroused hy my ultimatum on our household finances, and my determination to earn some money of my own. It seemed ages before I stirred. Then I bent to pick up the pieces of glass. At my movement the kitchen door opened swiftly and Katie rushed In. I had a sudden sick knowledge that she had been listening and looking during Dicky's outburst. "Oh, poor Missis Graham," she Crooned, coming over to me and putting her arms around me. "You not feel bad for dot. Dot nottlng for Meester Graham. He mean nottlng. Many time I see heem mad, he trow tings on floor, nearest ting he can get honds on. One time he trow omelet he no like, it go all over stat-ua-ry, make heem nightcap for head," Katie giggled remiriscently. "But he got over dot mad joost as fjueeck," 'she went on. "Bimeby you hee he come back, he say, Oh, I so sorry, I nevalre. nevaire do eet again till next time," Katie giggled again. "You not feel bad. Man like dot if you not do e. eryting dey want, and if you do all times vat dey want, notimes vat you want, den dey tlnk you are carpet, dey wipe feet on you." Through all my natural shrinking from sympathy of any kind, and my distaste of hrvlng a servant know anything of my affairs, the consciousness of this girl's hearty, sincere feeling soothed mo, while her homely philosophv fitted in with my reflections. "thank you, Katie," I said. "Will you kindly brush up these pieces before you go?'' She brought the broom and dustpan, gathered dp the pieces, carried them
to the kitchen, returned and made a pretense of ttraightening up the living room, changing the position of several chairs, and arranging the books and magazines. Evidently she had something on her mind. Finally she came close to me. "Oh, say. Missis Graham, I no like leave you here alone tonight. Besides I scared go home every night." A shrewd look" came into her face. She hesitated 'or a moment. Reading her I wondered what kindly falsehood she would invent to cover her desire to stay with me. I waited but a moment. "A man he spik to me last night on the street. I scared and run. I 'fraid he spik to mc tonight, too." "How did he look, Katie?" I asked, half smilingly in spite of my heartache. "Oh, a creat beeg man, with becg black whiskers." Katie evidently was determined to paint a sufficiently strong picture now she had seized the brush. "Hees eyes like dis at me," Katie rounded her own. I could see that she frxcied herself an awein- . spiring spectacle. "If he split to me tonight I shall joost die, I know." "But there is no place for you to sleep."
"Oh, yes. Missis Graham. You come with me. I show you." I followed her to the kitchen. She threw open the door of the unused closet I had given her for her thing3. "Here," she said, "I sleep here." "Why, Katie," I exclaimed. "There isn't room here for a bed," and, indeed, the closet, while a large one, holding our trunks, seemed but a mere cubby hole for a sleeping place. But as I looked at It I vaguely remembered hearing the woman who had rented the apartment, I had paid no attention to the phrase, for I had not then Intended to keep a maid. Was this what she meant? "Oh, yes, Missis Graham," carolled Katie again, and stooping behind the trunks she. brought forth a queer looking iron framework which I had noticed but in my ignorance of housewifely ways had never bothered to investigate. Pulling it out it revealed itself as a small, low bed, with a fairly clean mattress and pillow held in its iron framework. "See," said Katie, gleefully. "At night I pull heem out so, he nice bed for me. In morning I shut heem up, so he no in way." "Katie, do not say him' when you speak of things like beds, chairs, tables, dishes Say 'it' or 'them'!" "All right," answered Katie. "Thank you. I like to spik the English right. You teach me. I thank you. You let me sleep here, please? This is such nice room. Down at my cousin's, little room like des, me and three children sleep. I no like." She spoke wistfully. To think that this cubby hole seemed a desirable sleeping room to anybody! The picture of Katie and three children huddled in one no larger decided me. I would let her stay. Doubtless her company might often be welome, I reflected grimly, if
Dicky and I kept up the pace we seemed to be setting. "Very well, Katie," I said at last. "You may stay if you will be very careful to throw open your window each day a long time and air your bedding." There was a fair-sized window in the closet, or I never should have given my consent to her sleeping there. "Come with me and I will give you linen and a blanket." "Oh, thank you, Missis Graham. I do everything for you." Katie grasped my hand and kissed it, her invariable method of showing gratitude. As I handed her the sheets and pillow case, and the only extra blanket my limited linen closet contained, I voiced a doubt that had been-in mind since I gave my consent to her staying. "Are you sure you will be warm enough tonight, Katie? I'll get you an extra blanket or a comforter tomorrow." "You get me notting!" Katie's voice was decided. "I plenty warm. If I cold I put my coat over me. Pretty soon it get spring, no need blanket. You not spend your money for dot." The gil8' warm-hearted interest was a balm to my bruised sensibilities. I patted her shoulder and spoke warmly. "You are very good to me, Katie. Thank you. Now go to bed; that's a good girl." "You go to bed, too. You not sit up worrying. If you sit up, I stay up, too. Katie bobbed her head emphatically. "I am going to bed very soon, Katie. If I need you I will call you." "All right," floated Katie's answer after me, as I returned to the living
room. "I wake easy. You joost call any time you want me. I come queek." I sat down before the grate, which I had not yet turned out. I had a fleeting thought of the increased gas bill I would have at the end of the month if it continued to burn, but I was too numb to care about anything. The big Angora which Dicky had brought me as his first "housekeeping present," and over which we had our first quarrel, came and rubbed her lazy length against my skirts. Cats have always been an aversion of mine, but since my determination to n.ake the best of Dicky's present I have tried hard to like the beast. As she came close to me I felt a friendly warm liking for her, and, stooping, lifted her to my lap, where she nestled down with a purr of satisfaction.
How alone I was when the purr of
a eat and the sympathy of a servant were all tha consolation I had in my misery!

Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the ideal food for youngsters to study on or to play on because it contains the life of the whole wheat grain in a digestible form.
