Again has death, the groat mys tory, entered the portals of our Or der's home nnd taken from our Sis terhood, an honored mombor, a wor thy sister and a true Robokah.

"Daily quota tions on Liberty Bonds which, at pre sent, show them bulow par, have nothing to do with the maturity val ue of the bonds and are of no interest to the ordinary bond holder," Gover nor Joliu V. Calkins of the San Fran cisco Federal Reserve Bank declared here today. "The United States Gov ernment will redeem every Liberty Bond at Its maturity date at face val ue plus accrued interest." The reason for the decline In the price of the Government securities Is that speculators, anxious to win higher returns on riskier Invest ments, have thrown their Liberty Bonds on the market, while subscri bers who in some cases have found difficulty in completing payments. have let go of large blocks of tlit bonds. The daily quotations on Li berty Bunds reflect the action of these forces which fix market values. .Market values, however, have noth ing whatever to do with real values. The San Francisco Chronicle, in the leading article on its financial page recently, said: "It is well known that .large a mounts of Llbertys were offered as collateral for margin accounts by speculators. Many of these accounts were forced to liquidate their collat erals in the recent break in the stock market. "The exchange of Liberty Bonds for 'wildcat stocks' has taken place on so great a scale as to cause thous ands of complulnts to the authorities. It is safe to say that the persons receiving these bonds have sold them. "The Christmas custom of ex changing gifts may, to some extent, be called a contributing factor. Never were prices so high and never was the desire to purchase expensive gifts more prevalent. People reason with themselves that there is now no pa triotic necessity for keeping their Liberty BondB so they sell them to buy silks and jewels." Liquidation of Liberty bonds by holders of small amounts for the purchase of luxuries has virtually thrown these bonds into our current sjstem, owing to their negotiability. Ibis has expanded our currency, cheapening the dollar and contribut ing effectively to raise prices generally- The man who sells his Liberty Bonds now looses money. It is good business to buy more at the present market values rather than to Bell what you have. Took Mules to Missouri. 0. D.

To think failure Is to act It. Success or failure depends on the spinal column. Those who fall have wishbones; those who succeed have backbones. A backbone means jaw set, teeth gritted and fist clinched. A backbone means the determina tion to pound your fist on the table and say "I will." A backbone means the strength to laugh at obstacles and to overcome them. The word "obstacle" is found only in the lexicon of the week. Strong men make obstacles their stepping-stones. Never say you can't do anything. Columbus didn't say "I can't", Ful ton didn't say "I can't," Edison didn't say "I can't." Do you know who did say I can't?" Do you know? They are the millions who have died and whose names are only on the blank walls in the Unknown Temple of the Forgot ten. Go to any city park today speak to any of the bench-warmers sitting there and ask him to do some simple U.sk. M He will tell you meekly "I can t. The greatest lesson in Solomon's Song is this: "As a man thinketh, so is he." As you think, so you are. If you say "1 can't," you are proba bly right. But when you say "I CAN" and fol low it up with "I WILL'jou will soon be able to say "I DID." Well, Whatever It Is, Ho can Be Sore It's Coming.

HILL The Successful Farmer Raises Bigger Crops and cuts down costs by investment in labor-saving machinery. Good prices for the farmers' crops en courage new investment, mnr- production and greater prosperity. But the success of agriculture depends on the growth of railroads the modern beasts of burden that haul the crops to the world's markets. The railroads like the farms increase their output and cut down unit costs by the constant investment of new capital. With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capital for expanding their facilities. Rates high enough to yield a fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion, which invariably results in poorer service at higher cost. National wealth can increase only as our railroads grow. Poor railroad service Is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities. advertisement i& piiblhlied by the SLttockdioa jf Railway xeartutf&, Then detiring inJorvnUion eoncerninf the railroad titu alion may obtain literature by vritin) to The Astoria Hon of Railv-ay Eztcutitet, II Broadway, New York. !llji:!!lllll!ll!lllll!lllllll!llllllllU C.
