What Harding Says
"This government should make its
Liberty and Victory bonds worth all
its patriotic citizens paid in purch­
asing them.”
This is the language of Senator
Harding to recent callers at Marion,
Oblo.
It means that Senator Harding be­
lieves the bonds the men and women
and children of America bought in
the war period and which have gone
below 100 cents on a dollar should
be brought back to 100 cents on a
dollar.
Of the first Liberty Loan your gov­
ernment bought in 125,115,000 of
Liberty Bonds for $23,841,677.60,
with a profit clip of $1,273,322.40
from the fleece of the bond buyers.
Of the Second Liberty Loan your
government bought in *371,215,000
for *353,346,965.55, with a clip of
*17,868,034.45.
Of the Third Liberty Loan your
government bought in *278,635,000
for *267,661,398, with a clip of *10,
976,602.
Of the Fourth Liberty Loan your
government bought tn $368,115,000
for *348,513,485, with a clip of *19,-
601,515.
In other words your government
has trimmed the purchasers of its
promises to pay out exactly $49,716,-
473.85 which is quite a tidy sum.

We confidently look for a heavy

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
There are unmistakable indications
of a coming change in our economic
condition, and this, we hope, will
bring many thousands of our wand­
ering boys back to the farms. .
Banks throughout the country are
tightening up on loans, and are cal­
ling in those made for speculative
purposes.
The public is ceasing to buy as ex­
travagantly as of yore, with the re­
mit that manufacturers are of neces­
sity curtailing their output.
This is throwing thousands of men
out of employment, and many of
them are experiencing difficulty in
finding other sources of earning a
livelihood.
As a rule the farm hand who rush­
ed off to the city is the least exper­
ienced in those trades, and it is but
natural that he should be among the
first to be laid off.
• What more sane course could he
pursue than to return to the farm,
where he is an expert and employ-
fent is always awaiting him?
Speed the return of the wandering
boy. He is welcome before he ar­
rives.

HE unusual regard in which

its home is, of course, the re­
flection of unusual qualities in
the home itself.
