Buy Victory Bonds for a Home

Four years from now industry will be re

established all over the world and money will be j in great demand, hence valuable. That is why every wise workingman is in the.market now for Victory Liberty Notes. That is why every clever workingman is holding fast to all his. Liberty Bonds of the first four issues. A few years from now they will buy much more of anything and everything than you can obtain by "hocking" or trading them today. Therefore hold all the government bonds you now own and have the courage to buy more. Subscribe for all the Victory Liberty 4's you can pay for on the government's liberal installment plan. Pinch, if necessary, so that you can carry more of them. Mortgage your pay envelope for six months to come in order that you may have more Victory Notes as the underpinning of the Victory Home you will be building in 1924 or 1925.

This Victory Home idea has the full indorsement of the U. S. Department of Labor. The

Government desires that every workingman shall set up in his mind the ideal of a home of his own.

Renting is all right as a makeshift, or for people

who are compelled to shift around, or for those

who in turn own property from which they derive generous income. But the 'good of the nation demands that as many as possible of the people should own their own dwellings. A workingman, with a fee simple to his own home is in a position of independence; He cannot be scared into an agreement with his "boss" he is immune from the carking work of "rent day" he is sure that his children will be safe from the temptations that beset families of "floaters" and transients. . ..

Want American Conveniences In the extensive government housing plans of Great Britain the English housewife is to have a voice, or rather, her voice is to be heard, for she has declared that she must have American conveniences and labor-saving devices, and her demand is to be satisfied. At the request of various organizations of

women the British Government appointed a committee, representing women of all classes, to

study improvements from the housewife's point

of view. This committee has just made its recom

mendations, which are considered radical, for in

pome respects they go ahead of even the stand

ards of comfort now enjoyed in the United States.

According to reports recently received by the United States Department of Labor, central heat

ing is advocated. This alone represents a long

step forward, for most houses are now warmed

by open fires. The committee looks forward to the" time when cheap electricity will solve many of the problems of hot-water supply, cooking, and laundry work. It has investigated for immediate use various systems of heating water and has inspected many cooking ranges, drying racks, water heaters, and other devices for diminishing the labors attendant on housework. Wall finishings that can be washed are mentioned as highly desirable, the use of glazed bricks and tilings being suggested wherever practicable. Pantries, kitchen cabinets, and other conveniences received due attention. In view of the great number of dwellings to be erected after the war and the extensive stduy that has been given to housing problems, the work of this committee is considered to be an evidence that a new order of things will prevail when reconstruction work in Great Britain has been completed.

The Tax on Luxuries "In theory a tax on luxuries is an ideal way of raising revenue, but in practice it is proving by no means so simple as it sounds, as the questions referred to the commissioner of internal revenue show," says the Brqoklyn Eagle. "The most amazing, or perhaps amusing, of these interrogatories comes from the department stores, which are asking 'What is a corset?' That is one of the things that every woman knows, but unfortunately in this crisis there are no women among the commissioners "of internal revenue. If there were we might confidently

await a ruling that corsets are not a luxury, but a necessity and so not taxable under the luxury

law. Indeed, in that law corsets are nowhere spe

cifically mentioned, but 'underwear is. Now

some of the department stores, applying the law

of exclusion, have decided that corsets are 'underwear and are adding the tax to the price. Other dealers insist that corsets are just corsets and, not being named in the statute, are exempt from taxation. "The troubles of the dry goods men are perhaps not worse than those of the soda fountains. A man may drink a glass of milk at a soda fountain without paying a tax, but when he has an egg broken in it a tax follows. In the name of common sense,- why, especially in the spring, when all the hens are laying and eggs are no more of a luxury than milk? There is a glimmer of reason behind the discrimination in regard to chocolate. Hot chocolate is free as a food, but if you have it iced you pay a tax. Ice is always a luxury in North Carolina, where this law comes from, and this year it is a luxury everywhere else. Grape juice is free, no doubt to encourage consumption of a beverage which is sacred in the

eyes of prohibitionists. But if you add seltzer

to it you pay a tax also to encourage consumption, no doubt. "In the face of these and other conundrums the soda fountain owners are circulating a petition for the repeal of the law, so far as it applies to them, on the ground that their places serve luncheons for workers who cannot afford to pat

ronize restaurants, but make an ice cream soda

and a sandwich do duty for a square meal. There is no question that the rising restaurant prices have increased the patronage of soda fountains. Why should people who are obliged to economize

by reducing the amount of their food be taxed for

making the sacrifice ? The soda fountain is the

working girl's lunch counter. Taxing it is like taxing the workman's dinner pail, and taxing it when the pail is only half full at that."

When Was First Farmer's Society Organized Here?

Although the Wayne county farming association is considered a pioneer movement in the bringing together of farmers for mutual nurooses from

all over the country, it is not the first ! society of the kind ever formed in the country. ; j The first society, so far as Is known, was lormed in the year 1850, by William T. Dennis, Daniel Clark. David P. Holloway, the first president, and several other public spirited citizens. The first meting, at Centerville. in the spring of 1850, at which the project was brought up, was attended by only half a dozen, and the society was not organized until later at Richmond. A farmer from each township waa made a director, and premiums

were chosen for prizes for the best

showing in various departments of farming. At the first state fair, Wayne county literally walked away with the honors, securing as many prizes as the rest

of the state put together, and the first

county fair was a huge suuccess both financially and In attendance.. Fairs were held just south of Richmond for several years, the last being in 1866. The liret fair is said to have been held in Centerville about 1828, but no records of this are extant, and it was probably a very informal and local affair.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

DOC BRYAN OFF IN DIAGNOSIS Houston Post. Our notion is that Mr. Bryan would make no mistake by withdrawing his advice about selecting a candidate. Our party doesn't need a candidate at this time. It need3 a season of meditation, reflection and introspection. And a wet towel around its head to guard against overexcite-raent.

MAKE YOUR OWN COMMENT Baltimore American. The president, the secretary of state, the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy are abroad, the postmaster-general is at war, and the country is running Itself with the nonchalance of a veteran.

FACTS IS FACTS New York Commercial. Japan does not seem to realize that it is not a' question of race equality; it is a question of race difference. Oil and water may be equals, yet they refuse to amalgamate. .

HAS NO COMPETITION FOR HONOR Indianapolis Star. It probably was a great relief to Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau that the president was so willing to be the "goat" in that Flume incident.

SURE MAKING THE JOB EASY Ohio State Journal. Mr. Burleson says we publishers, editors and paragraphers are trying to destroy him, and perhaps we are, but, O boy, how he's helping us do it!

A National Danger

From the Washington Post. MAY day has come and gone, leaving in its trail a record of bloody clashes between anarchy and law. Scores were Injured and some killed In the disorderly demonstrations organized with the purpose of voicing the protest of malcontents against the existing order of things demonstrations which invited the indignant resistance of soldiers and sailors and other loyal citizens and which culminated In violence and bloodshed. Over the scene was the terrible shadow of . a dastardly bomb plot aimed at the lives of prominent citizens who had been marked for slaughter by secret assassins. A few years ago when the war clouds appeared upon the horizon of the world the United States made the mistake of ignoring the dangers which stared her in the face. Alert and thoughtful people urged preparation against the possibility of war, but the timid and peaceloving element prevailed, and there was no preparedness. How much that lack of preparation cost the people of this and other countries in lives and treasure can now be measured only by speculation, but it was a terrible price. Today another grave national danger impends. The elements of discontent are organizing under the banner of radicalism, the red flag of anarchy is displayed and the propagandists of bolshevism are active. The danger may be even greater than that faced during the war, for free government is at stake and the foundations of the American republic care attacked. The courts are assailed, the law is defied, the, government condemned. In the name of liberty, the very bulwarks of liberty are assaulted. : What now - Is the duty of - patriotic citizens ? - Are

Americans again to be found guilty of the crime of a lack of preparedness? Outbreaks of lawlessness can be successfully met only by force. But we must go deeper than that and tear out the treasonable growth at the root of the plant. A stop must must be put to the lying propaganda preached

by men of reputed Intellect, which incites mental defectives to deeds of violence. The agitators are fomenting discontent and inciting riot by distorting truth and spreading libels. These propagandists denounce the courts as corrupt. They know they are lying, but it is a favorite means of arousing contempt for law and order. Here and there perhaps occur miscarriages of justice, for no human institution is infallible, and these Instances are used to sustain the argument that the courts are corrupt The agitators thunder to the mob that this is a robber government, under the control of capitalism. It is a vicious and malicious lie, as , every intelligent person knows, but their statements are for the unintelligent, who do not think and who accept such statements for truth. Many reforms are yet demanded in the United States. We have progressed far, but the road stretches out ahead of us with new vistas, new ideals, which we may attain in an orderly way, just as we have done in the past. There is no justice for the people of America which cannot be secured to them under our form of government. The means are here, the way is open. ' This Is the gospel which must be spread throughout the land to combat the insidious poison of radicalism. Fight Blander and lies with truth. Silence the incendiary advocates of force. Jail the lawbreakers. Execute the assassins. Bring the law's hand down upon the violent and the inciter of violence.' Do it now. :

Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

THE INVENTOR A great inventor once there was Who gained renown both far and nigh; An airship he invented that Could do most anything but fly. He then got up a patent gun Designed to make an army scoot He tried it out. The only thing That gun could not do was to shoot He never got discouraged, but He built a dandy new lifeboat. It proved to have just one defect; His fine invention wouldn't float. He worked upon a touring-car. It was ten years ere he was done, It proved a peach. The only thing About it was, it wouldn't run. Discouraged he from science turned; He seemed to think he had no chance. He had a happy thought one day And he invented a new dance. He Is the hero of the hour He finds investors and to spare. He teaches this new dance himself And he's a multi-millionaire. WE'LL TELL THE WORLD HE IS

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK WHEN YOU'RE ON THE LEVEL People who do things straightforwardly, do not have to know the "ropes" they do not have to call upon some man higher up or depend upon some clever art or genius, t When you are "oh the level," you may be sure of succeeding very well with the brains you have la your own head! I have always been Interested' in studying great law cases and I have noticed that It has always been the people who felt that they had a bad case who hired the smartest and trickiest lawyers, whereas the man with the good case only needed one honest man to see him through. 7r - Another thing people who are "on the level" sleep better and their food digests more accurately, and they have more time for play, and they never borrow unnecessarily from their neighbor. . If you are "on the level, you don't have to go around with a gun In your pocket fearing every leaf-flutter and every alarm. Folks like to meet the fellow "on the level." His word Is better than his bond. His smile and same assurance Is of more value than a great balance at the bank. ' ' When you are "on the level," you can hang up your apologies and your excuses and your worries. For you will then be a four-square person. If you are "on the level," people will single you out wherever, you may be. It pays everyone to associate with the person "on the level" but It pays YOU most

ALBANIA PROTESTS AWARD TO ITALIANS

(By Associated Press) BOSTON, May 6. Assuming, upon advices from the Albanian representatives In Paris that the "Volona" mentioned in President Wilson's memorandum to Premier Orlando is the Albanian port of Volona. Kol Tromara, president of Albanian federation Vetra, sent a cablegram to President Wilson yesterday protesting against his statement that there was "common agreement" that the port should be ceded to Italy. "Albanians of America," says the cablegram, "have been overwhelmed

with grief by the publication of your memorandum in which the permanent possession of the principal Albanian seaport of Colona by Italy is treated as a matter of common agreement in exchange of Flume. Thi3 tentative proposal following closely upon the

attitude of American delegates of the

committee on Greek claims recom

mending cession of the Albanian prov

ince of Arghyrocestro and the Alban

ian seaport of Santi-Quaranta to Greece, indicates inclination of the allied powers as well as of America, to execute clauses of the secret treaty of London of 1915, partitioning Albania. "This will undoubtedly encourage both Serbia and Greece to press their claims to their full share as provided In the same treaty thus rendering the creation of an independent Albanian illusory and a grim mockery unworthy of associated democratic powers."

Dinner Stories (

"Now that strikes me as a silly hat, sister. Why, you can't see where you are going and it doesn't shade the back of your head." "Never mind my head or where I'm going. The purpose of a woman's hat is to make men look under it." Representative Reavis of Nebraska was talking about his trip to the front. ''I witnessed a mild quarrel at the front," he said, "between two young chaplains of different denominations. The" senior chaplain got the better of the quarrel. " 'Let us bury the hatchet, my brother,' he said. 'After all, we are both doing the Lord's work, are we not?' " 'We certainly are, said the junior chaplain, quite disarmed. " 'Let us, therefore,' said the senior sauvely, 'do it to the best of our ability, you in your way and I in His.' "

(By Associated Prso

NEW YORK, May 6. The American committee tor Armenian and Syrian Relief has received an account by an ye witness of the arrest of Ismael Hakl Bey, director of Imported Armenian refugees at Aleppo under Young Turk government and said to be responsible for the death of thousands of Christian men, women and children. After having escaped detection for months, he was recognized at Af ion-Kara-Hissar by some of the Armenians he had persecuted as they were returning from the Arabian desert, to which he had deported them. Then the British forces entered Aleppo, Ismael Bey found it convenient to depart, said the eye witness narrative. "It now appears that he had been living quietly in Afion-Nara-Hissar.

by his Turkish friends and

carefully avoiding the British soldiers. We arrived in Afion-Nara-Nissar this afternoon, just in time to see him arrested. "By a coincidence he said past the station nonchalantly, smoking a cigarette. Just after a train load of Armenian refugees from Aleppo had pulled in. On that train were many who had good cause to remember Ismael Bey's features. He was recognized at once and with a yell a hundred or more started after him. They caught him before he had gone far and from their fury they thought they would tear him to pieces. Almost immediately, however, squads of British "tommies" dived Into the wild melee H brought out the late protector (? of the Christians disheveled, -white and trembling marched him off to prison amid the howls of the refugees."
