THERE has been some heroic
buying in the sale of this ser-
ies of Liberty Bonds. We know
of one instance, a lad of some
twelve years who had saved the
money he had earned for
months to purchase a bicycle,
and just as he was ready to in-
vest, there came this call from
the government. The * boy’s
father said: ‘‘Which will you
take, son, a wheel or a Liberty
Bond?” The boy took the bond.
Have you done anything half
as big? This happened in Lan-
caster. We will give the name
upon request.

How the first American soldiers to
arrive in Paris impressed the corre-
spondent of a certain South Ameri-
can newspaper is indicated by the
following excerpt from Inter-Amer-
ica.
Large, slow, phlegmatic, the
Americans filed through the streets
of the city (Paris) without being af-
fected in the least by the “parade.”
They are dressed rather as cow-
boys than as soldiers, and they savor
of the far West. Among them there
is no display of gold lace, no fine
trimmings, and barely an oak leaf,
an eagle, or a star shows on their
collars or shoulders to indicate their
rank. They are strong and healthy,
and they are not warlike.
They give the impression of be-
ing good, frank, well-trained boys;
and they will get themselves killed—
since this is what they came for—
and they will die in the Dantesque
waste of No Man’s Land with great
valor, while seeking with their al-
most infantile blue eyes the maternal
boson) of their native heavens and
the soft horizon of the prairies.

CUSTOM MAKES HIGH PRICES
Eastern Newspaper Puts Up Good Ar-
gument for Abandonment of the
Fish-on-Friday Habit.
We Americans do not eat enough
fish, and the fisheries bureau says it
is largely because of the fish-on-Fri-
dav habit. The average housewife,
having acquired the habit, will not
buy fish on any other day of the
week.
This means that the individual
consumer must buy when everybody
else is buying, thus* enhancing the
price. And the dealer must obtain
from one day's sales enough to cover
six days' expenses. This also makes
prices go up.
The fisherman is up against the
same difficulty. His business is gov-
erned largely by wind and tide—
conditions over which he has no con-
trol. He must catch fish whenever
he can, and by expensive icing hold
them until the one fish day of the
week. Here again is a cause of high-
er prices.
Every day ought to be a fish day.
Let us try to drop th* fish-on-Friday
habit. It is one way to help win the
war.—New York HfVald.

• The numerous canals which cross
and recross much of the territory
back of the French lines have been
put to good use by the military a\£
thorities, not only for the transporta-
tion of supplies and floating bat-
teries, but as a fairly rapid means
of travel between different points.
By equipping pontoons with de-
tachable engines the French army
has secured a fleet of fairly fast and
very serviceable motor craft for
ferry service on the canals. Officers,
men and prisoners are transported
from place to place in these com-
fortable boats, and it goes without
saying that this ^?rry service has
proved of great value as an adjunct
to nsual transportation means. The
power plants are usually of about
twelve horsepower rating, and in-
clude the engine and accessories,
propeller and rudder, all in one unit,
fastened to the stern of the pontoon.
