For the City Beautiful. “Why did you give that awful-look ing tramp a dime?” “Oh, merely as a Mr. Irving Fife spent a few days sma11 contribution towards city im- ' provement. He wanted it for carfare to the next town.” Under the banner of the fourth Lib erty loan are enlisted one million wom en. Like soldiers at attention they await the coining drive, ready to talk bonds and sell bonds and buy bonds. Ever since the first bugle call sounded the women have been mobilizing their forces. Through the National Wom an’s Liberty Loan committee new vis tas of activity were opened to the women of tiie country and marching through three loans along previously unexplored roads of national finance they have advanced to a •significant place in the front lines of government endeavor. In May, 1917, the secretary of tiie treasury staked his belief in the pa triotism and ability of the women of America. At that time he appointed the Notional Woman’s Liberty Loan committee, the first and only executive committee of women in the history of the United States government. Two days after their appointments were made eleven women met and made their plans in the treasury at Wash ington. These plans were the inspi ration for an organization that has spread all over the country, until to day it readies into every city, every town, every village and hamlet aud crossroads. Fine Work on Former Loans. When (lie first loan was announced the committee decided that the work done by its members during that cam paign should be directed toward gen eral aid in the districts rather than to intensive organization work of women. Nevertheless, in the two weeks al lotted to them, women from const to coast rallied to the colors. In tills short time the women in the New York district raised more than eight millions of dollars; the women of Pittsburgh raised one-third* 1 *^ that city’s large subscription, excite poratlons; New England’s gathered group of women swell erf' the bulk of the returns; and the women of southern California outdid the rest of the country by establishing a ratio of seven women tb every three men buying Liberty bonds. The original plan of the committee had to meet two conditions. The fed era! reserve districts were the unit of financial organization but the states were the unit of the women’s organ! zntions. These two had to be cor related. Hundreds of Thousands Are Helping. To accomplish this two sets of chair men were appointed, twelve to the various federal reserve districts and 49 to the states and the District of Columbia. The federal reserve chair men are regarded as ambassadors to the federal reserve banks rather than organization promoter's. Under the di- ectlon of the state chairmen, the na tional organization has been evolved, so that in tiie second loan sixty thou sand women were working ns fiscal agents of tiie government, and In the third loan over five hundred thousand women were augmenting subscriptions. This new field of endeavor has revo lutionized tiie American women. With one million women making house-to- house canvasses, working in booths in department stores, making automobile campaigns, and talking bonds from ev ery street corner, the old idea has been eliminated that the American woman is a pampered, parasitic pet. The machinery of the National Woman’s Liberty Loan committee is already in action for the fourth Lib erty loan, and in every federal reserve district and in every state the Vnillion workers stand ready to fusillade with their energy and patriotism tiie ammu nition stores of wealth for the fighting men of the nation.

Mr. Walter Hardy is spending some time with home folks. He enlisted in the navy 17 montlit ago and has been in several of the allied ports of the east and tells some interesting things. His vessel was sunk by a submarine a little more than a month ago and he was in a life boat four days and 450 miles from a French port, with crackers and water to-eat. Prophecy Came True. A story Is told to the effect that Si mon Bolivar, when he was a child of seven, had for a playmate in Spain, a boy of about his own age named Fer dinand, the future Spanish King. One day, while engaged in a game of bat tledore and shuttlecock, a stroke by young Bolivar knocked the cap from Ferdinand’s head. Whereupon an old nurse, who witnessed the occurrence, aud who was deemed n soothsayer, de clared that some day Bolivar would knock the crown from the king’s head. Which feat he certainly did accomplish, so far us South America was con- cenwdL .$ ‘ ■< ' C, ./.‘i ’-X ,'v*’ sf- *’lx.- .• '.gt i i - - .2') .; •. - I . •.
