"there can be no escape from the kin-

man answers with a restlessness that
Is acute and often misinterpreted We
greet the first -warm - days of spring

“spring fever” ' Into our so-long-con-tented
souls comes a restlessness that
brings discontent with the narrow limi-

You Could Not 'Plat Your Money to
Better Advantage at 8am Timo
- Helping the Greatest Caueo -
'5' ’ of Humanity -
- (By BOOTH TARKINQTON)
When we Intrust our savings to a
bank we like to know that It’s a sound
bank We feel safe then to leave our
money In charge of that bank and Its
officers They will use It iu various
ways which seem good to them but wo
will get It all back If the bank la
sound Tet no bank In the United
States of America can be as sound as
the United States Itself Therefore
when the ‘ United States government
turns banker the safest place for our
money to be put la In the hands of
this government Anybody can see
that without bothering to look twice
Uncle Sam himself will take care of
our money and we’ll get It back We
know that His word U so good that
we can get the mo’ney back whenever
we need It because his bonds will sell
any time for Just about what we pay
for ’ them A- few - years hence of
coarse they will sell for more than we
pay for them
During the time that we leave onr
money with Uncle Sam — what we call
the Liberty Loan — he pays ns Interest
Well Tve had a higher per cent than
he pays — not for a loan because 1
had to pay taxes that reduced the per
cen't to 314 — but on investments Once
I mode an Investment that paid 19
per cent but it only paid It once and
then the fellow who talked me Into
It left town without telling anybody
good-by Tve found since then that
I can’t get much better than Uncle
Sam’s rate In the long ran When 1
think I can usually the factory has to
have new boilers after my flrjt divi-
dend comes in or the ore ’isn’t quite
the quality we had reason to expect”
and I begin the long squirm to get
ut with something reasonably near
what I put in No nowadays I think
the government rate is about all I’m
going to get from any Investment
which I place with regard to the In-
vestment’s margin of safety There-
fore I get all I can of Uncle Sam’s
Liberty bonds because they are to-
day of all the possible investments
in the whole world absolutely the
safest Nobody except Uncle Sam will
or can give us his rate and the same
absolute certainty that well get onr
Interest paid promptly and the princi-
pal when It Is due
That’s the selfish side of it we can’t
do better with the money for our self-
ish selves The other side of It Is that
Uncle Sam uses the money for our own
boys In France and our boys on the
seas— our boys whose hard and ter-
rible daily work is done so gayly and
death always with them — dropping
from the air above them ready to
strike up at them from the ground or
from the water beneath them They
bear this for us that our Ideal of free-
dom may not be lost forever and that
we shall not become the Prussian’s
servant A good Interest rate and
safety for the money and 'safety for
our ideals and for our liberty — that’s
what we get when we Invest In the
Liberty loan I
WORDS AND DEEDS
(By WALT MASON)
I may use language till I make De-
mosthenes look like a fake I may rear
np some nine feet high and tell how 1
would bleed and die If I were not so
old and gray and crippled np and full
of hay I may denounce the foreign
foe and tell how gladly I would go to
wield a shotgun In tbe scrap and shoo
the kaiser off the map but If I think
more of my wad than of my country
and my God the things I say won’t cut
much grass my words are merely
Bounding brass Our Uncle Sam is
needing men he’s needing rhino by
the ton he can’t conduct a high-class
scrap without a lot of dough on tap
To raise the dust he asks all lads to
lend him all their surplus scads to buy
his bonds — security the safest ever
man will see And If I do not gambol
np as gay and frisky as a pup and
buy the bonds till I go broke my loyal
spiels are merely smoke Oh boys
most soy tin-horn skate can work his
Jawbones and orate most any hick
can chew tbe rag and say nice things
bout tbe flag but when we come
right down to tacks the patriot who’s

GOVERNMENT ASKED TO HELP
Proper Construction and Maintenance
of Roads Osmandsd by Condi-
tions of Croat War "
"That the effective conduct of the
war demands Immediate attention to
proper construction and maintenance
of the highways of the country Is a
plain statement of fact”' asserts
Chairman George P Coleman of the
American Association of State High-
way Official 1
“Never before has there been such
urgent -need of a comprehensive and
definite policy for road and street con-
struction and maintenance as Is the
case at present and In making their
request to the United States govern-
ment to formulate and promulgate at
the earliest hour a plan which shall
be countrywide In Its character the
state highway officials believe that
they are expressing the concensus of
opinion of all citizens interested In
roads progress intended to encompass
the greatest economic and military
value In conserving the resources of
the country and facilitating the high-
ways transportation of freight
“In onr appeal to W G McAdoo
director general of railroad we have
Included a special petition that freight
cars shall be furnished early In the
spring for transportation of the neces-
sary materials entering Into the build-
ing of main artery roads which com-
mand a priority of attention ' We are
going to be exceedingly hopeful that
the director general will recognize the
interrelated needs of railroads and
highway enabling the road arteries
of communication to serve a maximum
help In relieving the rail lines of their
present overload”
GOOD ROADS IN CONNECTICUT
Excellence Due to Efficient Malnten-
' ance Under Extremely Heavy
Traffic Condition
The main roads of Connecticut have
long been famous for their excellence
a condition due to their efficient main-
tenance under heavy traffic as well as
to their original good construction
State Highway Commissioner Bennet
had organized a special branch of his
bureau to attend to 'this maintenance
so that there is no divided responsibil-
ity for result It Is under a super-
intendent of repair W Leroy Ulrich
who recently explained how the good
results are attained Tbe state has
been divided Into ten -district Any
part of each of them can be easily
reached from a central point where
the office of the district supervisor of
repairs la located Each district Is di-
vided Into section each In charge of
a foreman These foremen sometimes
Building Asphalt Pavement
have charge of 10 to 13 men depending
upon the season of the year and the
work to be done In addition each dis-
trict has one or more gangs transferred
from place to place to carry on recon-
struction oiling and other work which
Is occasionally needed In such amounts
that the section forces are nnable to
perform It without neglecting other da-
tie This 'bureau handles all the
maintenance and small reconstruction
work of the state and keeps the roads
In good condition until long stretches
become so worn that their reconstruc-
tion by contract Is more economical
than further maintenance
Trees Along Highway
The highway commissioner of Penn-
sylvania suggests that trees planted
along highways should be fruit or nut
bearer This would make fine pick-
ing for tourists and small boy
Ruin Asphalt Pavement
Asphalt pavements are softened and
sometimes disintegrated by Illuminat-
ing gas leaking from mains beneath
them
- Expansion of Cone ret
Concrete roads expand most In win-
ter and contract moat In summer ac-
cording to the United States bureau of
standard because of Increases or de-
creases in tbe moisture they contain
Good Qualities of Hors
Part of tho stamina durability and
spirit of horse Is Inherited and part
Is produced through proper feeding
Bad Reeds Ex penal v
Bad roods ere the heaviest expense
hat production Is required to meat
-1 Some Idea bf tbe great wealth that
the Western Canada - farmer had In
view a Jew years ago Is now being real-
ized The amount received from the
sale -of wheat oat barley flax and
rye lu 191T was $270000000 while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40000000 additional Of this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil-
lion dollar The Increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 614 million
dollar
This money so easily earned Is be-
ing spent ’ In Improvements - In farm
property purchasing additional land
buying tractor automobile and 'im-
proving home conditions providing
electric light steam heat new furni-
ture piano buying Victory bond
paying up old debt etc
Over five hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta In -1917 One
Implement agent reports that the In-
crease in his business in 1917 over
that of 1916 was equal to the total
business In 1915 It Is tbe same story
nil over the country And It Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces but the large In-
crease In the number of settlers- the
Improvement In the extent of the cul-
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
tion the Increase ' In value of-which
over 1916 was $77000000’
This wonderful progress that has
been made In agriculture In Western
Canada Is but tbe beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent
showing a future of great possibility
There are millions of acres yet un-
tllled and of land as good as any of
that Which Is now giving Its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre figures -that In many cases
represent the cost of the land with all
cultivation costs included It Is true
that the cost of production has in-
creased during the past few years but
the price of the product has also In-
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to tbe credit Of the pro-
ducer 7 - -
Percentage Increases are shown too
In another way leading to the same
conclusion from consultation of the
Department of Labor’s review of
price Taking 100 as Jhe index num-
ber of normal production In the de-
cade from 1890 to 1900 the Increases
In prices of farm products have
slightly outdistanced tbe Increases In
