Ever since this country issued its Liberty ds, the treasury depart- recognized the advisabiljty the bond buyers to hold sonds. This advice has al- en in interest of the r s« therefore only what maight have been expected whep the new secretary soon after taking office { puts forth a new anpeal Heretofore the appeals have been peneral that the people who have in- vested in the bonds may lose nothing as the result of the sacrifice which they .have made in patriotically re- sponding to the country's needs. A very great many would not have made these investments under ordinary con- ditlons. Some of them would have spent thelr money for unnecessary things and have mothinz to show for it today. Others might have invested it where it would have brought $hem B a larger income without Jooking for as sound.a security and not a few would have spent part of it and bank- ed the rest and this applies particu- Jarly to those who are not figured among the wealthy. But while retention of the honds and not disvosing of them in trade, or luxuries has previously been urged, Secretary Glass now points out the importance of not turning them over iy response to appeals from charita- Ble organizations. This is not be- cause the organtzations may not be worthy but for the purpose of urging the permanency of the investment niade and calling attention to the ef- of dumping the securities on the iet. The bonds should be held Just as tightly 29 a savings bank book fér the good of the holder as weil as the country. THE LESSON TO THE SOUTH.

HELP THE DEVELOPMENT. The war has called the aiténtion of capital in this country to the - tunity fo launch out into new fields and develop indusiries which had for- merly veeeived littlo or no attention. Not only the chance to furnich that. which had heretofore Been coming from Germany but the neocessity of doing it in order to meet the demand has started action along lines which should not be abandomed in the fu- ture. Tt has been seen how the dyemakers and the chemical manufacturers bave launched out into new fields, how they have succaeded in a comparatively brief time in producing the equal of the material that' was previeusly man- ufactured jn Germany, which country had deveffped a menopoly in . that line because of the low cost of pro- duetion. £ And now we are finding out that just as satisfactory toys can be pro- duced -in this country as have pre- viously been imvorted from Germany, Not being able to get such zoods, and them if we could get them. the toy making concerns in this country have more than doubled in the past fiv vears. There were 71 deing an a nual business of seven and a half mil- lion in 1913. Today there are 165 and their volume of business has lLeen twenty and a half million this vear. It is a development which should not be regarded as temporary but which cails for the putting forth of every effort to- encourage it to still zreater growth and that encouragement, as in the case of the dyemakers and the chemical mgnufacturers must come not solely ‘through patronage but! thraugh the extension of the proper protection which will make 1* rossibla to compete in the daws following the war with the chean labor eonditions ol other countries.

When Henry Ford refers to that portion of the press which has tried {o dideredit him and the things for which he stood, he apparently deesn't think that all kicks are as goed as o boost.

He was sent to Kerensk, but was transferred to Tunka, where he fell ill It was there he came to know the Russian spirit thoroughly. Tn 1892, he returned to Vilna. On his way to Siberia the soldiers insulted one of the women political prisoners and the politicals started trouble. In the riot between them and the soldiers the politicals were badly beaten.
