If all the banks of the country do their share, and it is contemplated that (hey will, three billion dollars of the certificates will be taken by tfiem between now and the flotation of the next Liberty Loan. r .The raising of five hundred million dollars every two weeks seems a tremendous task, yet in relation to the banking resources of the United States it seems easy of accomplishment. The resources of the National banks of the United States on November 20 last were more than eighteen and a half billioi dol lars and the resources of state banks and trust companies on June 20, 1917, were practically twenty-one billion. The resources of both have increased since the dates named when the latest reports were made. The three billion expected by the secretary of the treasury is less than 10 per cent of the banking resources of the nation. ; The banking power of the world in 1890 was estimated at fifteen and a half billion dollars; the banking power of the United States is now two and a half times as great as the banking power of the world as late as that year. , " The United States is just beginning to demonstrate its un exampled power and might. It is called upon to defend the lib erty of the world, to preserve civilization and humanity. It is answering in a way to demonstrate that it is equal to the task in tjourage, in genius, in men and in money. ly four hours. Lighting, therefore, is an essential. Kerosene is practically unobtainable, so the people have had to depend large ly upon candles. In August, 1914, candles were 15 cents a pound, in January, 1917, 34 cents a pound, and last October, 68 cents a pound. "The scarcity and consequent abnormal prices of motoring necessities tires and gasoline, for example have necessarily affected the use of pleasure cars. Recently there were only 17 taxicabs operating in Stockholm." A Story of Married Life REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By Adele Garrison WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER jTEPS HAVE been taken to interest all Lane county citi zens in War Saving and Thrift Stamps. Through these stamps every man, woman and child can serve country in a very simple and effective way. Every 25 cents will do something to Help a wounded American soldier, wounded fighting for the American people and American liberty. Every cent loaned the government contributes something for the safety and strength tfnd success of our soldiers and sailors, equipping them, feeding them, and giving them artillery and ammunition and all things ilecdcd for their efficiency and triumph. ! The secretary of the treasury says this question is before eVery American "Are you willing to help the fighting men of our nution, and in helping them to help yourselves? Are you Willing in helping them and helping yourselves to make liberty Cnpreme throughout the world and to make the atrocities, the in famous and untpeaknble crimes against civilization committed iy Germany impossible forever in the future?" SPEAKING OF PRICES Q RICES of most commodities in this country have advanced because of the war, but probably less than in any other belligerent, or any of the European neutrals. Some figures on conditions in Sweden are given in the World's Work, as follows : ! "Sweden before the war used to import about 5,000,000 tons ojf coal and coke a year. This supply, of course, has stopped. One result is that con) in Sweden now sells at $100 a ton, and is diffi cult to obtain. In Denmark, also, the coal shortage is acute. In Copenhagen's finest department store clerks wear big straw slip pers and woolen blankets because there is not coal enough to keep tjio place properly heated. : "Automobile tires are scarce in Denmark and consequently have skyrocketed in price. A single tire sold for $540 there last Qctober. ; "Tea in Sweden is $8 a pound. Coffee is practically unob tainable. Woolen clothing has increased more than 200 per cent In prlco since the beginning of the war. Chocolate sells for $3 a p'pund ; ham for $1 a pound. ; ' "Gasoline, likewise, is difficult to obtain, and the price of it is prohibitive last October it was $2 a gallon. I . "The length of the midwinter day In Sweden is approximate- How Robert Savarln Gracefully Paid the "Debt" to Madge. I found my invalidism very pleasant in spite bfvtho pain and inconvenience of ray burns. Lillian was the boat nurse a woman over had. Every one wus devot ed to my eemfort. Even Mother Gra ham's acerbity was softened by the suf fering I underwent in the first day or two following the accident, although I soon discovered that she was actually jealous because Lillian and not she was nursing me. "It is the first time in my life that I have ever found my judgment in nursing set aside as of no value." she said querul ously to me one day when she was sit ting with me while Lillian attended to the preparation of some special dish for me in the kitchen. "Oh, Mother Graham," I protested, "please don't look at it that way. You know how careful you have to be about your heart. We couldn't let you under take the task of nursing me, it would been too much for you." "Well, if your own mother were alive I don't believe any one could have kept her from taking care of you," she re turned stubbornly. There was a wistful note in her voice that touched and enlightened me. Be neath all the crustiness of my mother-in-law's disposition there must lie a very real regard I tremulously wondered if I might not call It love for me, My heart warmed toward the lonely, crabbed old woman as it had never done before. I put out my uninjured hand, clasped hers, and drew her toward me. "Mother acor," I said softly, "please believe me, it would be no different if my own little mother were here. She, of course, would want to take care of me, but her frailness would have made it im possible. And I. want you to know that I appreciate all your kindnesB." -Mother Graham's Good-by. She bent to kiss me. "I'm a cantankerous old woman, some times," she said nunveringly, "but I am fond of yo"., Margaret." She released mo so abruptly and went out of the room so quickly that I had no opportunity to answer her. But I lay back on my pillows, warm with happi ness, filled with gratitude that in spite of .the many controversies in which my husband's mother and I had been involv ed, and the verbal Indignities which she bad sometimes henped upon me, we had managed to salvage so much real affec tion ns n basis for our future relations with-each olher. The reference to my own little mother, which I had made, brought back to mo the homesickness, the longing for her which comes over hie often, especially "iien I am not feeling well. When Lil lian returned she found me weeping quietly. "Here, thi" will never do!" she said kindly, but firmly. "I'm not going to nsk you what you were crying abont, for I haven't time to listen. I must fix you up to see a present which has just come for you." "A prcse.1t?" 1 asked, diverted as I knew Lillian hoped I would be. "Yes,' an express package from that place up in the Catskill mountains where you went this fall, Cold Spring, wasn't it?" Robert Savarln's Note. "Oh, yes," I returned excitedly. "I wonder what it is?" . "You'll see in a minute," returned Lil lian, deftly bathing my tear-stained face. and propping me carefully up among my pillows. Then she brought from the table where she had placed it a small, square pockoge, addressed to "Mrs. Richard Graham, Marvin, L. I." i "Please open it quickly," I pleaded, as a child might have done. Lillian cut the strings and undid the wrappings with hands that I was aston ished to see trembled visibly as they worked. I looked quickly, furtively at her and saw that she was flushed, and her breath was coming unevenly. "Oh," she breathed as the Inst wrap ping fell away, revealing a most exquis- itc little landscape, with the signature Robert Snvarin 'in one corner. I echoed ler exclamation, and then for several minutes lay admiring the beauty of the artist's work, too absorbed to speculate upon the reason for Lillian's evident emotion. The scene the artist had reproduced was the bit of brookside where I had first seen him, when he had shown me how to catch my first trout. The gorge ous autumnal coloring, the sparkle of the brook ns it rushed around the big stones were unfolded before my eyes again ns they bad been on that never-to-be-for-ten day. A smnll envelope was enclosed with the picture. I broke the seal and read the few words it enclosed: "Dear Mrs. Graham," it said. "I feel thnt to you and your husband I owe my chance to take up again the work I love. This Is the first thing I have done, and I want you to have it, boping thnt when ever yon look at it you will remember thnt I am always at your service. Grate fully yours, Robert Savarin." I handed the note to Lillian. "I do not deserve this," I said. -"I renlly did nothing for him." Lillian read the note slowly. When she finally looked up I saw that there "were tears in her eyes. "It is like him," she said. "There are few souls as highly tuned and delicate as his in the world." She stopped and looked at me scarch ingly. I knew that she was on the brink of the confidence she had promised me when Robert Savarin's story was first discussed between us, and I trembled lest some word or look of mine should turn her from her purpose.
