i Wiping Out Our Vast War Loans While the European governments are vainly casting about for methods to reduce their war loans and to put their economic households in order, the United States has steadily kept on retiring obligations until today, within a little more than three years after the signing of the armistice it has outstanding only $17,000,000,000, as

compared with $25,928,297,000. The United States government advanced about $11,500,000,000, counting principal and accrued interest, to the allied governments. Setting this sum, which must be applied to the reduction of our own debt, against the remaining $17,000,000,000, we have only about $5,500,000,000 to be raised by taxation to wipe out our entire war debt. All the Liberty loan issues and the Victory bends were drawn so that they would be retired within 1923 and 1947, on the theory that the nation would be able to liquidate the debt within 28 years, or at the rate of about $1,000,000,000 annually, exclusive of the repayment of loans by the allied governments. ' Financial observers say that the government has been able to retire the war obligations at a faster rate than first participated. The government has bought in vast quantities of bonds in

the open market, retiring about $5,000,000,000 since JVIay, 1919. Analyzing this condition, the financial expert of the Chicago Tribune says: "The government issued " $21,432,924,700 in Liberty bonds and $4,495,373,000 in Victory notes, a total of $25,928,297,700. Of all these issues there is now outstanding a total of only about $17,500,000,000. This represents a reduction of nearly $8,500,000,000. The treasury has outstanding in notes and certificates of various classes about $3,500,000,000. "Not all of these short term treasury obligations were used in retiring war loans, but granting that the proceeds were so devoted, the war debt has been reduced about $5,000,000,000 in three years, or nearly twice as fast as originally

was contemplated when the maturities were fixed. The Victory 3 per cent notes are being

retired nearly a year before their maturity date, and with this operation the total of the two Victory issues will be reduced by one-half. "It is the treasury's plan that the short term notes and certificates will be gradually reduced by taxation and refunding operations, and eventually within a few years virtually wiped out.

With this month's financial operation the total

of the war loans will havef been reduced below $17,000,000,000. "European nations, our allies in the war, now owe this government about $11,500,000,000, counting principal and accrued interest. Under the law, payments on these debts must be based in retiring our own war loans. Setting these foreign debts against our own internal .war debt would leave only about $5,500,000,000 to be raised by taxation in order that the American government might wipe out war loan indebtedness, which, at the rate of reduction prevailing in the last three years, would be only a matter of three or four years. Truly, the American government has made vast strides in lifting the financial burden of the great war."

Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" A LETTER FROM A MOTHER "My dear Mr. Adams: I cannot refrain from writing you to say how many times your beautiful lines have helped me. I clip them out every night and keep them in my desk, and read them time and time again. A great many times, when I am tired, and after putting baby to sleep, I get these clippings and read them. They help me so much. A Mother." Thank you. Mother, for this letter. I wish that you had signed your name so that I might have written you personally. I get many letters from Mothers and it makes me very happy. A letter from a Mother strikes a responsive note in my heart for I had such a wonderful Mother myself. From out of your heart has always come the great of this world. And when the world gets very ill and has to suffer, it's you, Mother, who has to pay so heavily. Today I watched a little wren with a tiny worm In its mouth perch itself on the step of a house that I had made and placed In my yard.

Soon some little wrens poked their heads from the nest hole, and you

should have seen the pride in that wren mother's attitude! I said to

myself then that mother love was made of the same ingredients no matter where it is found. These brief Talks are written each day to make people happy and to encourage and inspire them as well as, occasionally, to make them think. They are not written to attract critics to their style. Critics usually tear them to pieces! So that when a Mother writes me, I am inspired. Right here I want to thank every Mother who has ever written me and to say God bless you. Mother. It's a credit to this newspaper that Mothers read it. If I were a cartoonist I would represent the world with a wreath of roses about its circumference, and on the upper half I would draw a Mother rocking her baby in her arms. And then I think I would put a line like this underneath the drawing: This world wouldn't be a world without Mother! You get very discouraged. Mother and very tired. I know that. But never mind. Perhaps an entire Nation will some time thank you. It often has. Lincoln once said that all that he was or ever hoped to be, he owed to his angel Mother. Thank you again for your letter, Mother. And may beauty and happiness fill your life.

O DIRE FATE! I've attempted many a wondrous feat, And I'm not one to abash; So I hit upon a happy retreat I'd raise me a mustache! How I planned Its growth! And how at night I'd lie awake and dream Of a friend that soon would come In sight. How lordly I would Eeem! I would part it in the middle, I would curl it at the end. I'd grease it like a griddle, So all might apprehend. I bought expensive perfumes when I heard it must be fed. I watched, and hoped, and prayed, and then Ye gods! It came out red! Frank Walsh.

Facts About Indiana (By Associated Press) For more than three-fourths of a century, Indiana and its natives have been called "Hoosiers." Tradition says that John Flnley first used the word in his poem, "The Hoosier's Nest," written in 1833. It also is assured that the term originally was a southern expression, signifying a rude or uncouth and illiterate class of people, and was first applied to Indianians. Another explanation of its origin is that it is derived from the expression, "Who's

yere, used Dy natives or tne state when accosting a stranger. Steam railroads in Indiana have 13.128 miles of track, two-third3 of which is classified as main track.

Dr. Stephen Smith, an alumnus 100 years old, wa3 the feature of the one hundred and sixty-eighth commencement exercises at Columbia university

recently. In conferring the degree of Doctor of Science upon him, President Butler described Mr. Smith as "the most interesting figure in American medicine and American "public service today." Dr. Smith was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 850. He was

AT.S VMtrtt born Feb. 19, 1823,on a New York farm. He has filled office under Hayes, Cleveland and others of the days agone, occupied nearly all of the important medical posts that come to an active doctor. Seven New York governors and three mayors have appointed him to office, and he had his full share in changing New York from an epidemic breeding town toone of the most sanitary cities on earth. He organized the American Public Health association 51 years ago.

Per incident, he was the father of

the trained nurse in American hospitals. And now, at 100, as spry as a cricket and a living mockery of old age, he tells us how we can beat the Styx ferryman, and does it without sending in any bill for professional services rendered. "A man is as old as he eats," says the doctor. "Fresh air and physical culture will not prolong life if you eat the wrong kind of food, or too much of any kind. I owe my long life to the fact that for the first 60 years I was troubled with my stomach and

had to learn how to eat to protect it."

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

MAKING THE BEST John Jackenson, of Boulderside, made pestholes for the trade; and all the users testified, "The finest postholes made." He started making them by hand, one posthole at a time; but soon there rose a great demand from every shore and clime. And so he hired a hundred men to help him at his chore, and still his trade increased and then he hired five hundred more.

j And now his factory extends for half a

mile or so, ana all his customers are friends who boost him high and low.

For every posthole from his works Is perfect as can be, inspected by a dozen clerks who any flaw would see. We know that in the posthole trade there's many a tawdy trick; a lot of worthless holes are made by skates who'd get rich quick.- But when they come from Boulderside no fears disturb our souls, for Jackenson, he takes a pride in selling perfect holes. And so, while other makers claim that trade is on the bum this Jackenson, who plays the game, see mighty orders come. Each day he

sees his business grow, and grow, and grow, and grow again;, and every other week or so he adds five hundred men.
