PUT IT UP TO GRANDFATHER Four-Year-Old Kept Her Pennies, While Elderly Relative Was KemCed to "Dr^ Up.” Grandfather is a very dignified, retired minister. But still, with all his dignity he regularly takes his four-year-old granddaughter to Sunday school because he thinks that she should have this religious training while she Is yet young. The other Sunday It was Mary Ellen’s fourth birthday and she, after the custom of the school carried with her four pennies to place in the birthday basket. Everything went nicely and the tot went to the front, her little face happy above her Sunday finery. Still smiling she stood in row with the other birthday children and waited while the basket was passed. When it was taken to the others and she saw them put tliMr pennies into the basket Mary Ellen became distinctly uneasy. She seemed about to flee; then to reconsider and stayed. But when It reached her, instead of dropping her pennies into it as the others had done she held to them very tightly indeed and said: “No, I’m going to keep them myself. If you want any offers you tan tall my grandpa up. He had a whole handful this inornln’.” And grandfather, in order to keep his reputation free from having any of the taints of a piker, had to rise from his seat and come forward with four pennies. Then was the amusement of the congregation not only seen but heard as well. —Indianapolis News. LAST OF GREAT MONOPOLY Three Million Acres of Hudson’s Bay Company’s Land to Be Given Over to Farming. When King Charles 11. made a grant of land in America to “The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson’s Bay” he generously turnoff over to them about three-quarters of North America, an empire which time has diminished until now the Hudson’s Bay company is selling to settlers the rich acres which it still retained after surrendering its authority over its Canadian holdings to the Dominion government, fifty years ago, for an indemnity of $1,500,000. Little enough did Charles, in 1670, Imagine the future history of the trading company he haff established; still less could he have pictured the cAain of retail department stores in the twentieth century. Over 3.000,000 acres of fertile land, the last substantial fraction of King Charles’ grant, is being sold to farmers; and as it has lain uncultivated since the days of the Indians, it is pleasant to think that the fanners will soon be busy on it. Wanted Smell to Materialize. John haff been taken by his mother for a long ride to see an old aunt who was .slow in getting the dinner on the table. John was hungry and could smell the dinner. Finally, in order to hurry things a little, he edged up to the aunt and said: “I’ll be so glad when I can taste that smell, won’t you?”

NOW EXCHANGING LIBERTY BONDS \o CHARGE, FEDERAL RESERVE BANK WARNS, FOR ENCHANGIXG VOL R LIBERTY BONDS. Holders of third Liberty Loan coupon bonds have started to exchange their temporary certificates into permanent bonds in the Seventh I Federal Reserve District, according । to Hie reports of the Federal Reserve ißank of ( hicago. As the returns are I beginning to come in the officials of ;the Reserve Bank wish to reiterate । the statement made in March, when 'the first exchanges were made, that there is absolutely no charge to the bond holder for the exchange. Ihe Government makes no charge for the exchange of temporarj into p< rmanent bonds,” said a । Federal Reserve Bank official. The 11• inporarx ones may be surrendered । through banks and trust companies and forwarded by them to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The । new bonds will be delivered at the expense of the United States. The bank wishes to make this point clear to all holders of Liberty! bonds so they win know officially tlhat no bank has the ritht to charge Anything for effect in., the exchange” J. In this district thorff outstanding approximately 0.000 of the third loan bond.%ff.Cil May 9, I!»IS, and maturing September 15, 1928. To this issue therb was close to 5,450,000 individual subscribers. The Reserve Bank has supplies of the permanent bonds of the first and second is and first and second 4 4s. In round numbers, there is $518,000,000 of these four classes of bonds outstanding in this district. In making exchanges on the first and second 4s the Treasury Department has ruled that deliveries of permanent bonds will consist of first and second 4 1 , s, uu’ess the holder specifically requests otherwise. As there is no advantage in possession of the 4 percent bonds, it is expected that by making exchanges in this manner they will be practically eliminated from the market. The fust Is represent conversions of the first 3’5 percent Liberty Loan bonds to the 4 percent bonds of the second Liberty Loan. The second 4s 1 are the original second loan. There is every advantage in converting these to the I'i percent bonds of the third Liberty Loan, as they retain their original maturity dates. । The fust 4s have been without an interest coupon since last December; * the second Is since November. This interest will be fully adjusted on the 1 exchange into permanent bonds. BUY YOl R < oil EARLY ' IN THE SEASON The man who has to loaf from ( 75 to 100 working days during the . year, is going to demand higher pay for the 200 to 225 days when he can work. That simple truth goes far to explain the troubles in the coal industry. The public can eventually I reduce the price of coal if it will comply with the request of the bituminous coal commission to buy coal in May, June and July and store for next winter. If coal mines could keep running regularly, coal could be produced for less money, and the threap of st.rike^ de less

Five hundred young women with energy and a desire to lead lives of usefulness are sought by the Salvation Army throughout the United States.

DAYS ARRIVE FOR GINGHAM THOUGHTS I J What woman does not look forward with a great deal of pleasure to "gingham days”?

A 14-carat gold band ring was found by John Moore, one of the crew of the fishing schooner Gertrude De Costa, inside a big halibut caught on George bank recently. The ring Is a mans size and is believed to have been dropped overboard from some trans-Atlantic liner. Judging from its

condition wh'en~ recovered from Tire halibut's stomach by Moore, the ring had been lost recently. Moore will wear it, as there is no way of determining the ownership. Paper Resists Fire.

are more than 1,000,000 idle women in the United States? The ambitions of these idlers have not gone beyond the stage of bonbons and the latest novel. A large proportion of these would welcome, I feel sure, a chance to lead lives of usefulness if they knew the opportunity. The Salvation Army now’ offers them every sort of useful work —nursing in the Army’s hospitals, infant hygiene in the children's homes, relief and rescue work in the slums. “Two thousand unfortunate women are cared for annually in Salvation Army rescue homes. Young women are needed to help these girls take care ®f their nameless babies and lead useful Christian lives. In our nurseries and kindred institutions every year 50,000 children are cared for. What an opportunity for the girl who loves sweet, chubby toddlers I I know of no more happy girls than our Salvation Army lassies. The trumpet has sounded. Young w oman, the Army needs you I”

George Y. Hepler Democratic Candidate for Congress Voters of the Thirteenth District of Indiana:

In this time of reconstruction and of tumult, it is imperative that men of a; - tion rather than men of words, should be chosen to represent you in your legislative bodies, men who have been tried, and men of experience in public affairs. There isa strong feeling among thinking people that Congress needs business men rather than orators. With this thought uppermost, George Y. Hepler, present State Senator oi St. Joseph County is presented for your approval. His age is sixty-two years, and he has been a resilient of Indiana forty-two years, started in life as a farm hand, has been a successful contractor and lumberman and farmer, and has won the confidence and respect of the people of the 13th Congressional District and of the State of Indiana by the conscientious manner in which fie has fulfilled his duties as a member of the General Assembly of Indiana during the past six years. He has been twice president of the Inter-State Fair Association and is now a member of our State Board of Agriculture. He is a recognized leader in advancing farm organization and numbers among his friends and acquaint-

ances, not only farmers, merchants and business men in all lines, but his record as a legislator has made the laboring men of Indiana his staunch friends and supporters. Let us unite to put a business man and practical farmer in Congress from our District.
