Two Good Buys Two good investments have just been anannounced by the treasury department through the Indiana war savings committee. One of them is the new $100 treasury savings certificate, and the other is the new $1,000 treasury savings certificate. The government has tried to arrange a security combining the advantages of the war savings stamps and the Liberty bonds, and judging from advance notices, it seems to have succeeded. The new security has as its most popular feature the fact that the buyer virtually receives his interest in advance. He pays for the $100 certificate only $83.60, and for the $1,000 certificate, only $836. It is as if he handed in $100 or $1,000 and received $16.40 or $164 in change. He keeps the certificate until January, 1924, when he receives his full $100 or $1,000 in payment. In the second pJace, the buyer of these certificates can always get his money if he has to have it. There is no possibility of the certificates falling $8 or $9 below par. On the other hand, the buyer can always get the full amount paid in plus a 3 per cent increase from month to month.

In the third place; the certificate pays 4 per cent compounded quarterly. In the fourth place, the buyer has $o, $100 and $1,000 sizes to choose f rom, being able to fit his savings into the security best suited for him. The arguments in favor of these new securities are so many that State Director Springsteen, of fihe Indiana war savings committee, seems to be correct when he states that the new certificates axe more attractive than Liberty bonds. The treasury department is offering these new certificates and the war savings stamps on their merits as investments, in the hope of cultivating permanently the savings habit acquired by the American people during the war. It is relying heavily on their sale in its future financing problem. The cost of the war has not ,yet been met, and the government needs money to finish the job. It is to be hoped that the people of this community will be attracted by the investment features and that their sense of patriotism will per

sued a statement reviewing conditions as he found them in Europe, a part of which reads: After shipments of wool from Australasia to Great Britain during the current year to the extraordinary amount of nearly 3,000,000 bales, the amount remaining in Australia on Sept. 1 will approximate 1,000,000 bales, to which must be added the new clip of over 2,500,000 bales. At the

same time, the clips or South Africa and South j

America will come upon the market, and it must j

not be forgotten that they will face stocks in Great Britain which have arrived much faster than they could be used up or even handled in the warehouses. Enormous quantities have passed into private hands because the government has been distributing wool both at auction and by allotment. This gentleman says further that since the wool production and consumption were approximately in the balance before the war, it seems to him to follow that the present increased production added to large accumulations that have taken place during the war should be equal to all present needs. Transportation facilities that will provide proper distribution are needed, but the wool is there. All this is more or less interesting to the casual consumer who can do nothing but await the processes of trade and trade balances that may eventually have some effect on prices. Incidentally, too, as he passes from the perusal of wholesale market lore, which is not supposed to concern him, he may entertain a passing wonder if investigation might not uncover an abundant world supply of leather that would lower the price of shoes.

The Clean Up Campaign Some improvement is noted in the removal of paper and rubbish from the alleys and streets, but the practice of cleaning our premises is not general enough to make the city spotless. Civic pride should prompt a general participation in the spirit of the ordinance, drawn to beautify the city by preventing the disposal of paper on the streets. Let every individual take active interest in the campaign and the victory will be won soon. The example of one or two persons in every city block who keep the streets and alleys free from an accumulation of material is contagious. Start the movement and others will follow.

Silk Ribbons for Fighters

The war department has announced that bids would be opened soon for 507,000 yards of rainbow-blend ribbon to be used in the victory medals worn by soldiers who served in the war. This order will amount to more than 288 miles, and is in addition to 105,000 yards, or more than 59

There ought to be a number of j rniles, ordered recently from a silk manufacturer

at Allentown, JPa. It has taken months of effort the department says, for Amreican silk men to succeed in producing the rainbow blend of colors.

Within two weeks it is expected that the daily

output will be 15,000 yards.

Plenty of Wool in Stock

The present price level is attributable to many causes, some of them, however, inexplicable to many of us. The Indianapolis Star presents the appended discussion of the wool situation: All woolen goods are high priced and woolen clothing costly in proportion, or even out of proportion. When the purchaser complains and is told that "it is the war", he has no more to say,

but silently wonders how long this painful result of the war will last. He is told that there is a shortage of wool and he believes it unless he chances to reflect that the world's supply of wool does not come from countries greatly affected by the war. Or he believes it until his eye happens to fall upon a market report which relates that the supply of wool now available is ample for all the requirements to be met. The president of the Textile Alliance, just returned from Europe, is quoted as expressing surprise that the wool men here should believe they are facing an acute shortage of wool and has is-

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

STEVENSON Kobert Louis Stevenson called himself an idler. He was a natural vagabond who loved to g-o in old clothea upon his own way through the strange city haunts of the disinherited or out upon the open road. He despised smug society, but talked eagerly with all sorts of men and women. Yet even as a boy he always carried a note

book and a pencil and constantly put into words what he saw and thought and felt. He wrote until his health gave way, again and again, and then he wrote of that. ' Between 1873 and 1879 he produced many of the most inspiriting essays of the "Vtrglnlbus Puerlsque" series. The magazines published "A Lodging for the Night." "Will o' the Mill." the fantastic "New Arabian Nights," and other stories. In 1879, he made the journey to California in steerage and emigranttrain, determined to "learn for himself, the pinch of life as it is felt by the unprivileged and poor." The hardships injured his health, but did not deter him from making the first draft of "The Amateur Emigrant." He recuperated on a goat ranch near Monterey and managed to teach some neglected children. Tn Monterey afterward he planned his romantic comedy, "Prince Otto." He completed the breakdown of his health by living on starvation rations in a workman's lodtrinir in San

Francisco and working feverishly. After a dangerous illness, he married and lived in the mining camp of "The Silverado Squatters." Thus did Stevenson the idler dU his material and his power out of life itself.

to take King George's side, this being a common policy of great houses in that day. So The Master rode to the North. Then came the word of Culloden and The Master's death. After a decent time Mr. Henry, to preserve the estate, married Miss Alison, although he no more than any other doubted her love for The Master's memory. But The Master was not dead. He had escaped to sea, his escape being not to his credit. At sea he was captured by a pirate ship. By the most Ingenious deviltry he secured the treasure of the pirate ship as she was about to fall into the hands of a King's cruiser, and escaped with it to the swamps on the American shore. One man he took to guide him out of the swamp, and dirked him to death after they were safely clear of it. Thence he continued his march to French Canada, although forced , on the way to hide his treasure in the wilderness. This we learned from a Colonel Burke, an . Irish soldier of fortune, who came !n the night to plead money for the support of The Master, who was then In France. There was a letter from The Master which threw Mr. Henry in a passion.

"He calls me a niggardly dog! he

he should set foot in New York: but

our ship was a slow sailer, and other ships which sailed later arrived before us, so it happened that my lord had word of The Master's coming and prepared for him. There was suspicion of more than one murder, it seems, to The Master's hand during the earlier stay he made in America, and so now he found it a better business to leave New York and hunt in the wilderness for that treasure which he had buried so many years before. All this time all the evil The Master had done seemed borne in a flood upon my lord's brain. He became moody and took to drink. There has been talk that he connived with the crew which The Master had hired for his expedition Into the wilderness, bribing the leaders to make away with his brother. . There is no evidence of that, but It is true that The Master's Indian servant to save his life, as he paid, did bury him alive, with the Intent to resurrect and restore him later by the agency of some secret Oriental trick. My lord and a party, I being of it, followed The Master, and It was when The East Indian was lifting his body from the grave that we came upon them. I thought for a moment that

Bolshevism and the Land

From the Kansas City Star. EVERYBODY has a guess as to what Bolshevism Is, and Mark Sullivan of Collier's now has his.. He says It's the land hunger of the European peasant, Russian, Hungarian, Rumanian. Wherever Boleshevism t tarts going you are sure to find a country in which the land is in the hands of the few and where the workers of it tenants and laborers are determined it shall pass to the hands of the many. Probably that guess la as good as another and may be accepted, with reservations. Reservations are all the style now anyway. Undoubtedly the land tenure laws of old RusBia and of the other countries in Central Europe here Bolshevism has taken hold were feudal survivals and an incentive to revolution. Mr. Sullivan recurs to the French revolution to show that the land hunger of the peasants had the same results there, and because Napoleon confirmed the land settlement and France is today il country of small land owners he considers it less exposed to Bolshevism than any other European country. The French revolution would have subsided once this economic phase of it was accomplished, he holds, if Europe had left Franco alone, and he seems to hold the same belief about Russia. Let the revolution take its course and Russia will soon emerge with a new national life on the economic basis of peasant possession of the land. Yet it is true that France, many years after the settlement of the land question, continued to be the most disturbed state la Europe and had one revolution after another. The Paris Commune lacked few terrors that the 'Jacobins. of 1793 introduced to society. Perhaps, as Mr. Sullivan seems to imply, the uprisings in the Russian

manufacturing centers were really merely sideshows. But they were pretty active sideshows, after all. In Bavaria the Bolshevist movement seems to have been confined to Munich. In England William Allen WTilte says it isn't land the working class wante, but beer. The settlement of the land question in England, although it will be a tremendous reform when accomplished, will not accomplish the economic revolution. England is not an agricultural country, and if its land was all divided up it wouldn't go around nor would all the dukes' acres, if put under cultivation, feed its population. The nationalization movement in England Is directed rather toward the industries that employ its millions of wage earners and toward the things that affect their welfare, transportation, mines, shipping, housing. Russian Bolshevism may have sprung from the land

evil, but in operation it has included class war with other

issues. The program of the government in England, where Mr. Lloyd George has openly promised "a new heaven and a new earth," shows that land settlement alone is not expected to end it there. There is no excuse for the dukes in England, but chasing them out isn't

going to make much difference to the London dock worker

or the wage earners of Cardiff and Birmingham who have no intention, and no chance, of becoming small farmers on ducal parks or game preserves. The problem differs in every country. Mr. Sullivan's guess on Russia may be a right one, but even if the outtide world could be sure it was right it could not, with any confidence, proceed to adjust inequalities everywhere else on the theory inat they had the same roots and could b settled on the same basis.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

A PAL A Pal is in the diamond, pearl, ruby class very rare and very precious. But different in this way fine and scarce a3 a real Pal is, intrinsic value does not enter into his possession. A Pal comes somehow and then he stays and sticks and gives. A Pal loves, forgives, forgets, sympathizes, understands above all, understands. You don't have to explain or excuse to the one who is your Pal. A Pal always comes to you when you need him most and he isn't scared away a bit if the whole crowded world desires you. He is there to stay because, don't you see, he is your Pal, and you want him and he wants you. And that explains everything. There is something infinitely wonderful about one's Pal that you can't even express or explain. A Pal doesn't keep things back. A Pal is honest, above-board, open and expressive. A Pal can make mistakes and they are just mistakes, but if he isn't your Pal, then they are blunders instead and you may resent and be unhappy and sadly sorry but somehow with a Pal, you love right through everything and are the stronger bound for the very weaknesses that sometimes hide strong feeling unexpressed. A Pal is always round In spirit and In feeling. He does not understand the fair-weather quality. If it rains, he is still your Pal. If it cyclones, he is just the same as when the sun is brightest and warmest. A Pal hovers about. My Pal is always around when I am most in need and I am inspired and spurred ahead. I shall win all things worth while because I have a Pal and there will be no secrets excepting for that utter freedom and frankness of expression between us, back and forth, which, in itself, becomes a double secret to the world but no secret at all as far as we are concerned. If you have a Pal you have theworld and no one can take it from you.

"When my troubles first began." he continued, "I was holding down a job as stationary engineer, but I soon had to give up week altogether. Now and then I ha'e been able to do a little light woit, such as I am doing now, but since taking Tanlac, I am getting ready to go back to runing an engine agin, I had rheumatism in my legs a bad that I couldn't stand on my fee half of the time. At the time I wai laid up in bed for three months in a stretch, and during that time I uldn't even get up and sit around for a few minutes, but just had t lie there and suffer every minute ht and day. Finally the rhematism u spread all over my whole body, jsd although I spent hundreds of dolus for medicine and treatment, I neer got any relief at all. Why, the oiv way I could get a little temporay relief was by taking baths as ht as I could stand them, and I hat done this as many as seven or eigl times during a night. My kidney were in awful condition, too. and . had a bad pain in the small of my back nearly all the time. Then my stomach went back on me. and this added to all the rest of my troubles Just about put me out of business. "Now that is the condition I was in when I commenced taking Tanlac, and now I am as sound and well as any man in the state of Indiana. Why, I slept nine hours last night and didn't wake up a single time, and just six weeks ago I couldn't sleep more than an hour any time, I never had such an appetite in my life and eat

Just anything I want and never suffer a particle from it. The rhematism has left me entirely, and my kidneys seem to be in perfect condition, for I never have the least sign of that pain in the small of my back. To tell you the honest truth, there was never a time when I felt any better, or was in a more perfect physical condition than I am now. So you see Tanlac has been a Godsend to me, and that Is just why I talk about it so much. Any medicine that will do as much for a man as Tanlac has done for me is worth its weight in gold. I think everybody ought to know about this wonderful medicine, and I am ready to tell the world that Tanlac will do just what they say it will do." Tanlac is
