Every school boy and girl is acquainted with feome of the writings of Lowell, but few adults associate his name with one of the great political movements of the .United States. He was one of the early abolitionists and his famous "Biglow Papers" and other writings did much to make the movement popular in the North. These papers are" filled with the most passionate patriotism. At the outbreak. of the Civil War, the poet again launched a bitter fight on, slavery and in a second series of "Biglow Papers", appearing in the Atlantic Monthly of which he was editor, Lowell did valiant service

for the Union. " He was the author of the "Cen . . . tennial Ode." , He was United States ambassa dor to Great Britain in 1880-1885.

know that they can receive the full principal with accrued interest from the post, office by giving ten days' notice. According to reports to the treasury department, systematic effort is being made all over the country by tricksters and unscrupulous agents to induce holders to part with their stamps. According to one report from Milwaukee, stamps are bought for $3.75, which is far below their value. During the war, many persons for the first

time in their life became investors in securities. They are unacquainted with the handling of this form of "property and are prone to listen to the blandishments of men who are trying to get rich easy by fleecing unsuspecting victims. Every owner of Liberty Loan Bonds or War Saving Stamps ought to consult a banker or a friend who is conversant with securities before, he, parts with them. The bankers of Richmond are only too glad to give this kind of information to persons who request it.

Bankers Plan to Encourage Thrift A group of Chicago bankers are planning to launch a nation wide campaign with the object of turning the twenty niillion persons who bought Liberty Bonds to permanent habits of thrift and investment. These bankers believe that millions of small investors in government securities, created in the last four Liberty Loan drives, should be made to see the advantage of continued thrift and of obtaining more securities.

It has been estimated that there were only about 300,000 investors in stocks and bonds before the war. A comparison with the twenty to twenty-five million Americans who now hold securities shows that there is a large number of potential investors who would continue the thrift habit if they were given an opportunity to exercise it, or were made to realize the financial advantage of continuing the purchase of good bond3 and high class securities. The bankers believe that a campaign should be launched: in every community in the United States to intensify war thrift and to make permanent investors out of these casual buyers of securities. .

reviewing the fa

appreciative genius has risen in ; his place and given the world a bit of ap

propriate verse that

exactly fits. The author's name has been lost. The song,

which may be ren

dered to the tune of Victor McNaueht "They Wouldn't Believe Me," bears the plaint of the noncombantant American soldier stationed ip Paris, and runs as follows: And when they ask us How dangerous it, was, We never will tell them, we never will tell them, We spent our pay in some cafe, And fought .wild women night and day 'Twas tne awfullest war we ever

Paris is its old gay self again. On account of the peace conference the hotels are crowded. ' Strangers are everywhere, specially good-looking American strangers in uniform. The art shops and stores are filled with beautiful things at unbeautiful prices. The streets, broad and bright with vivid humanity, make interesting pictures, especially after nightfall. Allow me to interpolate here another ballad, penned by some unknown soldier, which might have been entitled, "Take It From Me, They Will Take It From You," but which bears the caption: "The Battle of Paris."

It deals with the subject with a considerable degree of adequacy, hot to say accuracy, and goes like this: As I. sit on my bunk arranging my ' ' junk, With tuought of old Paris in mind, With vivid reflections and fond recollections .. Of milestones that now lie behind; ' While still fresh in our ears are the

. words of those dears Who so openly, mockingly dare us To forget home, and riends till tbis 1. 1 awful war ends ' ; And take part in the Battle of Paris. .-. Theyare strikingly neat from their head to their feet, They have eyes like the stars in the skies, And ruby red lips like rose tulip tips That make your thermometer rise.

When Did Stage Coaches Go Out of Fashion?

TEN YEARS Ago Today in Richmond

A flag contest was started at the postofflce for rural carriers selling route. The winner was awarded with a silk flag. J. M. Elliott, of Route 8, received the first flag. The largest initiation In the history of the Whitewater lodge was held. Twenty-one were iniated. Dr. Robert J. Aley, state superintendent of schools, addressed the Wayne County Teachers' association.

Stage coaches, and the splendid hospitality of the old-time taverns, fill the record of the next few years. A regular schedule was established between Indianapolis, Richmond, and points east, and the road was lined with inns. In many parts of the state the road was allowed to -decline when railroad travel superseded the stage coach, but the Wayne county road was kept up. When the automobile touring craze began a few years ago, the travellers found the old national road still doing good service.

From their grandmothers now. The French Academy of Sciences has asked the peace conference to divide the year into thirteen months of twenty-eight days each. To this we must respond with a heartfelt protest. So far as we are concerned .the first of the month comes often enough now. Let them reduce it to six months in a year if they want the support of many millions of tenants in this country, as well as those who receive grocery and meat bills.

SHOE BILLS LESS

From Globe, Arizona, comes this recommendation of Neolin Soles. J. B. Medlyn sends it. He says: "I have never had my Neolin-soled shoes repaired as the soles always outwear the tops. The position I hold keeps me on my feet most of the time, and I can say that for comfort and wear Nealin is the only shoe sole." Millions of others who have worn Nefilin Soles think with Mr. Medlyn that they are the only soles for wear and comfort. Moreover, these soles cut your shoe bills down because they make your shoes last so long. They are waterproof too. Neolin Soles are made scientifically by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

From the Kansas City-Star. V THE real reason why. Bolshevism will not get a per- , manent place in the world is not that it is Immoral . or cruel, although it Is both.

of special aptitude to conduct its various .kinds of business Mr. Carnegie, for instance, showed a genius for organising the steel business. Ue had an instinct for getting around him, as he said, men who were technically much more competent than he for doing the work. He found the. opportunity to push to the front and to do a t! Industrial service to the country.

It is quite possible that the social organization per

mitted him to-get a larger share of the profits than was necessary. At the same time, in a rough way, it did

operate to let ability have the chance to do a big job

The same thing is true in the case of Henry Ford. He demonstrated his capacity to do a certain industrial ser

vice, from which both he and the country profited. Possibly again Mr. Ford profited more than was useful. But the'System did produce cheap automobiles in large quantities for the world. ... - It is easy to point to the defects in the system and to. say that another system would automatically correct them. The question is whether in correcting them it might not fail to do the essential task. When the government took over the railroads' t made a lot of small economies. But these -were simply swept away and engulfed in "the resulting inefficiencies.

We might provide against Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Ford making a fortune and think that in doing so we were producing a wonderful reform. But we might find that at the same time we had prevented the development of the steel industry or of the cheap automobile. . The common sense of the world is for making the necessary adjustments to correct developing evils, while not throwing away the wonderful productive achievements of modern civilization. Russia will find eventually that it doesn't pay to smash even an imperfect industrial

system at the sacrificp of the fnnnHatinns nf naHnnai children than be a teacher.'
