UUBERTY [OAN' 1S |CARNEGEE, IN HLL HEALTH, TO SPEND SUMMER ‘ VACATION AT MASSACHUSETTS RFS]DENCE= SOLID INVESTMENT | Thrit, As Well As Patriotsm, Should Inspire Enbfic There are two reasons why there | should be a Liberty Bond in every home. Bither of them offers a sum- clent impulse for the investment. The reasons are, first, Patriotism, and, second, Thrift. Patriotis;m is the expression. of every individual's obligation to the country which pratects him and gives him the opportunity to develop his abilities and gain the reward of his efforts. - Patriotiem often finds ebullient ana even hysterical expression, but re- duced to real terms it'is a matter of the obligation, of each man and woman td' contribute his or her share for the common good in return for the advantages gained from living in a well ordered society, This obligatf®n naturally extends to contributing for the common defense. The. contribution may be an outright gift under a general assessment worked. ont on some presumably equitable basis. Such gifts take the form of taxes and voluntary contribu- tions: tb numerocus charities and war organisations. The other obligation is to lend money to the government as an ordilqr; ‘business maitter, Mflw:r under such circum- jdéred in its relation to is a practical application idea. It is as much a deposited in a sav- ings bank. It draws interest at three and one-half per cent; it is a safe in- vestment if the government is stable. If the government is not stable then no investment is safe and property rights as well as property values will vanish, as personal safety and the right to the pursuit of happiness must disappear alsg. There is no better in- vestment tham government bonds. In- vestment in them is the duty of those who cannot the army or the navy and is 'ge of a similar obligation, not regarded as herofc. 3 To secure two billions the govern- ment must reseive an average sub- scrition of *$1,000 from each of two million persons. {But the average will be much below t. If there are less than five milliontsubscribers to the grst bond issue, #°will be a failure as a test of patriotism. But if five million persons subscribe the average of ‘the subscriptions will It'is ous; therefore, that ‘& 'good. many': ds of people must buy the Bomds in the small de- it attain the great | evidencea by eredit’ ings banks, should not be. used only to & limited extent or, preferably, not at all. The funds of savings banks in banking parlance, are not liquid, They %re in the form of various kinds and so compose & large part of the fixed capital of the country. Exten- sive demands on | savings banks would force the dagipn of these gecurities and: sé-disloc the bond market and, of course, the money market. The loanis, therefore, to be subseribed for out of current and future savings. Sl It is more than Hil that business ‘will be very good e. loan 1is popularly subscribed. The factories and mills will be bisy on all sorts of. orders from the g0 t. There is a shortage of all kinds:of supplies. Labor will be freely employed and the demand for it 1s likely to be only partly satisfled. The people who should subscribe to the loan will, therefore, have the funds with which to meet tha payments. But it is a great deal of money that is ‘wanted. 1t is $20 for every man,.Wwoman and child in the United States. ‘That means $100 for each family. Ana that means that hundreds of amilies whaq will respond to the nd will have to add some econ ; now practised.

Tt is the increase in the gs the people that is going to Ay the money. with which to fight <, a suc- cessful conclusion the greatest of all ‘wars. ” ZIONISTS’ RALLY SUCCESSFUD.

Officers were elected at the annual meeting of the Parents and Teachers .association of the Stanley school held last evening after which a cake sale was held by which '$30 was realised. The officers elected were: President, E. W. Troop; vice prestdent, Mrs. E. W. Everett; secretary, Miss Molander; treasurer, Miss Crusberg, Andrew Carnegie, it was reported, would be brought to his palatial re- treat, Shadow Brook, near Lenox, Mass., on June 2. He will be attend- ed by a corps of nurses, masseurs and secretaries. Although, it is said, he will be prac- tgcllly kept within the limits of his estate, owing to his reported illness, some short automobile trips will be taken in the quiet places in the hills. Quarters for the Carnegle secretaries | have been. taken in the village. . Various reports of Mr. Carnegie's illness have been made from time to time in recent months and last sum- mer it was sald that he was seriously indisposed. The ironmaster was born at Dunfermline, Scotland, on Nov. 25, 1885, and came with his family to America in 1848, settling in Pitts- burgh. He was married to Louise ‘Whitfleld of New York in 1887 and has one daughter, Margaret, who is now about twenty. years old. Beveral years ago, when Mr. Car- negie's great gifts of money were discussed -with him,. he said he would give "away everything he' possessed but his .wife and daughter. - It was about that time that he made his fam- ous assertion that “to die rich {s to die disgraced.” Despite his donations of hundreds of millions, however, his fortune, made principally in the iron and steel business, {s still large enough to be ranked-.near the very top of the world’s great : accumula«. tiohs of wealth... Mr." Carnegie’'s firat work was done as a weaver's assist- ant in a 'cotton factory in Allegheny, Pa. Then he became a telegrapher and railroad man, acquiring his first considerble amount of money by in- vestments in a sleeping car com- pany and oil lands. He introduced the Bessemer process of steel making into this country in.1868. No*1 and No. 3 show recent por- tralts of Mr, Carnegie; No. 2, Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie.

Pursuant to - instructions given 'by Mayor, Quigley. to the chief of .police, Do halls are, to-be refited 'inthe city except to.regularly organized societies. This ruling, the mayor explains, is to check what ' He claims has. been ian organized .attempt in this city to stir up “oppositidn to registratiov on Jume 5 and ‘also ‘to the registration (of enemy aliens. : 4 In a statement to this effect the mayor said: “I have been informed on good authority that meetings have been held at local halls and similar congregating places, within the past in- structing persons of foréign birth.to refuse to register on June 5, and also to influence aliens to violate the or- der that requires them to appear be- fore the representative of the federal government and furnish photographs and information regarding them. selves. - When the anarchistic hand- bills were distributed in this city a short time ago,” the mayor said, “we had advance information of. their coming. We were informed of cer- tain halls where meetings were to be held to stir up strength to back the statements contained in the bills. The police were watching, but were un- able to detect anyome.” WILL SELL PROPERTY. At the monthly meeting of the com- mon council a resolution will be in- troduced authorizing the mayor to transfer to Peter ‘D. McKernna, the highest bidder, lots on Chapman and Rutherford streets which have been taken over by the city for non-pay- ment of taxes. In each instance, how- ever, the purchase price of the prop- erty is not equal to the taxes due, so the city is the loser. With this in view a number of the city officials are planning to have an ordinance drafted which would set a time limit on all uncollected taxes so that here- after it will be impossible for the debts accruing against = property to total more than the selling price. t ALIEN OFFICE TO RE-OPEN. Registrar Thomas J. Smith, in charge of the local office for the reg- istering of alien residents, ‘has re- turned from a trip to New London ‘where ke was engaged in similar work and will open the local office at the postotfice . tomorrow evehing. During the day, he will visit the factories se- curing the list of names of those eligible. Y | AUTOMOBILES GOOD USED CARS .
