The I'sh-b Ticket. Saturday Evening Post. You would have to turn back : many pages In the history of nation .. al finance to find another instance where nations comparable to Eng . land and France have hocked their valuables as security for a loan. The last English instance, we believe. was, in the seventeenth century When the British commissioners came over here a year ago to ar range an Anglo-French loan of five hundred million dollars the ques tion of specific security was raised Ur some impolite quarter. It was then explained, with an air of shock ed surprise, that great nations like England and France could not lower their dignity and compromise their credit by putting up collateral. But the hundred-million-dollar loan to the French government in July was secured by a hundred and twenty million dollars' worth of ex cellent collateral, duly hypothecated with a New York trust company; and the recent two-hundred-and-fifty-milllon-dollar loan to the British government is secured in the same way, by three hundred million dol lars' worth of first-rate stuff. In both these transactions the credit of the respective governments counts for nothing. They borrow just as Pete Smith borrows. Undoubtedly this means that, in the judgment of the bankers who handled the transactions, no further unsecured loans could be floated in this market though the total pro ceeds of the loans are to be spent "here for American goods, and sym pathy In the best investment mar kets Is strongly on the side of the Allies. - The Allies have much good collat eral left for future loans, but they are still buying goods here on a scale that win ase up collateral rap Idly. These two specifically secured loans Illustrate that, seemingly, un limited as the resources of the bel ligerents have been, there is actual ly a limit. ' Boy It Is Gastonla. tkaliliK.

The world is brighter than before. Why should one's heart be dnller? Sorrow and the scarlet fear Sad thoughts and sunny weatherT Oh, me! this glory and this exier Agreo not well together. This is the parting season, this The time when friends are flying And lovers now, with many a kiss, Their long farewells are sighing. Why is earth so gaily dressed This pomp that autumn beareth. funeral seems, where every guest A bridal garment weareth. Each one of us, perchance, may here On some blue morn hereafter Return to view the gaudy year. But not with boyish laughter. We shall then be wrinkled men. Our hours with silver laden. And thou this glen mayst seek again But nevermore the maiden! Nature, perhaps, foresees that spring Will touch her teeming bosom. And that a few brief months will bring The bird, the bee. the blossom; Oh! these forests do not know. Or would less brightly wither. The virgin that adorns them so Will never more come hither. T. W.

'Made liiijltwiilUmwwIMHlltWlllpi Joy Hiding. Charity and Children. This writer is not opposed to au tomobiles. In fact the only reason he isn't sailing over the country in a Ford is that his creditors consume all his surplus cash. But the abuse of the automobile in a peril that threatens to do us a great injury in many ways. A man was telling us the other day about an enthusiastic church worker who bought a ma chine. Gradually his interest in the Sunday school and church work weakened until finally he quit going altogether, and sent his pastor word to drop his name from the church rou: tnat ne nad round a new source of pleasure, and meant to pursue it and let the church go. He began to drink beer and do other things that go along with it and is on the way to the devil at 30 miles an hour. It is true that this man never had enough religion to hurt him and less charac ter than religion, but while this is an extreme case, it illustrates the effect of Sunday joy riding on anybody who indulges in it. We have seen church members more than one time delib erately load their families on the au tomobile and start out at 10 o'clock Sunday morning for a spin througn the country. No more sermons for them! No more Sunday schools: They have found a new avenue of pleasure which they propose to trav el. The faithful will still attend church and observe the l-ord's day. A few of the loyal and strong will maintain their integrity, but what about the weak and shallow, and what about their children! There is no law to stop these joy riders. There is nothing to be done except to appeal to the sober-minded not to be swept off their feet. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" is still in force. But those who are crazy about automobiles have no more reverence for Sunday than for Tuesday. The truth is, we have gone mad over this matter of amusement, and a multitude of our people have surrendered absolutely to its strange and subtle power! Good roads are a great blessing, but it is better to jolt over rocks and plunge into gul lies in a one horse wagon than to glide to the devil over a road as smooth as a ribbon in a luxurious au tomobile.

Women are playing a more impor Ui t part in saving Kansas' wheat crop this year than ever before. Mo tor car tourists and travelers tell of hundreds of women out in the wheat lields, and one man asserted he counted seventy-three women driving binders in a three-day tour of the .-tate. lie said he had seen several hundred women shocking wheat and oats. Around Topeka fourteen women were seen actively helping in the harvest in a drive of less than 100 miles. Only two women were seen driving binders. Practically every binder was in operation in Kansas re cently. Fine weather the past week has ripened th wheat rapidly and made it necessary to cut it at once. The labor problem is the most serious the State has ever known. Not more than 5,000 harvest hands have come into the State this year, while the original call was for more than 40.-1 ooo. The State has seven and three Muartcr million acres of wheat and nearly two million acres of oats to cut. and it must be done in the next few days in order to save it. Kansac City Times.

HOT ENOUGH CHILDREN ever receive the proper balance orfood to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands are greater than in mature life. This is shown in so many pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds, and lack of ambition. For all such children we say with unmistakable earnestness : They need Scott's Kmulslon, ami need it now.
