PROSPERITY WAITS ON LOAN.
When Government Pays Contracts
and Allows Factories to Resume
Pence Will He Real
The peace wo have won must bo fi
nanced, just as the war had to be fi
nanced. War conttacts weie made by
the Government. Not all of them had
been filled when peace came. What
was the lcsult?
Gieat factories had to cm tail ex
penses when the armistice stopped
their machinery. Many industries had
added expenses inonler to meet con
tract requirements: With the con
tracts fetoppedynyork stopped; those
indusrics, unless the Government
promptly pays its obligations to them,
will be crippled and labor will suffer.
Prompt financial settlement of Gov
ernment obligations will benefit labor
and make an automatic readjustment
of business. It will insure prosperity
and prosperity must follow peace.
What America wants now is to get
back to business and forget war. It
does not want to forgct nor can it
afford to its war heroes. Instead, it
must create a healthful business and
commeicial life in which to install the
returned soldiers. Such a state of
business can exist only when the
debts of war arc paid. Peace can be
real only when it is a paid-up peace.
That is what the Victory Liberty Loan
is for.
Every man, woman and child in
Rcl Cloud will be economically bonc
fitte'd by a successful Victory Liberty
Loan. Webster county has kept at
the top in the past drives and must
do it again.

JOTTINGS
From a War Corre
spondent's Notebook
By ADAM BREED12
To those who have never been
abroad, but contemplate a trip to
I' ranee, a little inside information rel
ative the tips might not come amiss.
or instance, it 13 customary not to
give tips during the voyage, but to
five them at the end of the trip.
It is considered quite tho proper
thing to give the stewurd $2.o0, the
bath attendant $2.o0, your waiter $3,
and the saloon waiter $2.fi0, providing
you have been in the habit of indulg
ing 111 refreshments.
It seems that the tip habit has not
gotten thoroughly introduced through
out Ireland, and when a tip is given
there it is usually very smnll.
But in England the habit is very
much like it i3 here in the United
States.
However, when you reach Prance
you will have an opportunity to make
up for all the tips that you happened
to lose out on in England or Ireland.
In Prance you are supposed to tip
every person who performs the vcy
slightest service fort you regardless
of the fact that they receive a regular
stipend for performing these duties.
For instance, you. take a ride in a
taxi. At the end of the journey you
look nt the meter and note, tho amount
charged. Besides paying the taxi
driver the full amount you are sup
posed to give him a tip. Should you
fuil to do this he will climb out of his
scat and remonstrate with you in such
a manner as to cause a scene in a
hurry.
When you secure a meal in a cafe
or hotel you are expected to add ten
per cent to the amount of the bill for
the wnitor. Should you fail to do this
he will immediately call your attention
to the "oversight." Then should you
fail to give the necessary ten per cent
he will reject what you offer.'
When the Americans landed in
Franco it did not take them long to
find this out, and it was then that they
started the bad habit of giving a tip
after every order of refreshments was
served. This caused the French wait
ers to think that all Americans wove
millionaires. However, the American
soldiers soon changed their system, as
they had taken a 'jointer from tho
French t'xat is, they would on!""
their refro?hmcnti, get "repeaters"
and not pay tho bill until they were
about to deuart. In th-tt way the"
saved no smnll sum, and at tho same
time kept in the good graces of the
waiters.
'All-
Recently I received a Itjttct; in which
it was said that "tl'e writer" had been
informed thnt mo-.t of the cities up to
lfiO.000 inhabitants were without sew
erage. '
No. such is not the case. Most of
the citi?3 of that si"o have sewage sv
tcms, but many of the smaller cities
are not so far advanced in that re
spect. In nnothcr letter this question was
asked: "Is it true that the French
girl3 have poor teeth because of tho
wine they drink 7 I have boon told
that thoy lose their teeth in their
teens."
No, the French girls do not hnve
poor tenth. On the contrary, they ap
pear to be proud of their teeth, .13
they urually respond with a smile that
disnlays an even row of "penrh."
We have hoard of witm hurting tho
stomach, and the head, but this is tho
first time that we ever heard of it
hurting tho teeth.
t
The French aro a thrifty people and
thoy look upon Americans as spend
thrifts. Perhaps tlijs accounts for the
excessive prices thoy charged tho sol
diers. But tho Aiicrican3 have no
body to blame but thomrolvos, for
they stirted the price-boosting shortly
after their arrival. They brought .'t
about by shoving the smnll change
back, or leaving it on the counter.
There wero many wealthy sons in
the rnnks, nnd there wore many very
wealthy officers and they wero tho
ones who were really responsible for
tho high prices.
Someone has said thnt there are as
many types of young girls in the world
as there aro flowers. That is true, and
each typo has its individual beauty.
So it is with the girls in France.
There are all kinds of beautiful girls
In Franco, but most of them aro cen
tered in Paris, as the cnpital of Franco
seems to bo the magnet that attracts
beauty.
The American soldiers who hnve not
had the opportunity to see Paris have
expressed themselves as being greatly
disappointed about the attractiveness
of the French girls. But it must bo
remembered that they have not hnd
the opportunity to see many of the
French fair sex, consequently their
Judgment Is based entirely upon tho
few maidens they did boo.
There are plenty of beautiful French
girls, and they certninly do have most
charfnLur manners.
i Tlwflnro tho brunette girls with
the big, brown, dreamy eyes nnd an
olive complexion. Then there are tho
'golden-haired maids with the light
blue, self-conscious eyes. And there
are plenty of the other kinds. But,
take them as a wholo, tho French girls
are fair to look" upon even if tho
tosos on their-cheeks are of the hand
painted kind.
Deep Sea Creatures.
An intorestlng'llttle creature of tho
deep Is the lencelet. It ranks nbout
hnlfwny between n llhh and an In-
vertebrate. Among Its ninny peculiar!
I ties Is the absence of u distinct bind.
I The month is in the middle of the body,
and Is surrounded by tentacles. At '
J great depths Mirluips have been found
: that have luminous bodies. When put
I Into the aquarium, thoy lose their
, light-giving properties. Scientists be
. Hove tho Creator made those crea
tures luminous to give them light in
tho dark depths of the sea.
