lists of co-operators, aggregating 1!17.
OOO names, who report on particular
products, such as llxe slock, cotton,

directly to the salaried Held agents of
ihe bureau. The total oluntary stalT.
therefore, numbers approximately li(X),

reporters, as a rule, are fanners, Thev
sere without compensation, and are
elected and retained on the lists he
i mum' of their knowledge of local con

Interest In the work. All except coun

Roosevelt National Park as Memorial to "T. R."
TIICODOltK IIOOSKVKI.T'S first national meuiorlnl Is likely to be ltonse
velt National park. The machinery of congress has been put In motion
to make the necessary change In the Greater Sequoia National pink bill.
Senator I'helan of California, who In
troduced the Greater Sequoia bill last
.veur, moved the change of nanio In
the senate upon the suggestion of Sec
retary l.ane of the Interior department
ami Director '.Mather of the national
park service, lie said that Itoosevelt
was early Identified with the West;
that the liberalizing Inlluences of west
ern life liittliiiiiiilcil lit in for his later
tasks; thai there was no more fitting
memorial for a man of bis tastes, cour
age, generous nature and love of the
beautiful that this tiutloun! park In the High Sierras. The public lands
committee reported the amended bill favorably and the senate passed It. In
the house tho amendment was moved by ltciucsoiiinttvc Klston of California
and was seconded by ltppiesontullvo (Illicit of Massachusetts.
The present Sequoia National park contains HO." square miles. It was
created In 1800 to preserve the big trees, Sequoia Wnshlngtonlunii, which
are the oldest ami largest living things on earth. The largest of them are !!3
feet In diameter ami are about -1,000 jonrn old. The Greater Sequoia bill
adds l,:t.'(. square miles to the north ami east. Including the canyons of
Kings river and Kern river. Tohlplto and Paradise valleys and the western
slope and the crest of Mount Whitney (H,.r01). the highest point In conti

that soldiers. Thus when the time for dbpeisal from tthe prisoners' camps
came about the German bully would turn the rest loose to find their way,
unaided and sturvlmr, into Holland ami safety, but would detain tint soldier
who bad Insulted him, nnd afterwaid secretly send the man to work In his
castle or on his estate, where ho could torture and degrade him ut will.
The second reason hlntod at by my Informant Is that these men whoso
whereabouts are hitch a mystery have, by leason of their special knowledge
or adaptability, been :ut to work on undertakings thu nature of which Ger
mans want to keep secret.
Although the uctual fighting Is over, lb. trade war with Germany Is
only .last beginning, and If any of the men In question acquired, either
accidentally or otherwise, a trade secret of any value and such u contin
gency U by no menus an impossibility lie would bo kept u prisoner In secret.
The third reason Is somewhat similar. The men are being kept prison
ers tbiotigh the instruifiontnllly of Individual olllccrs or men. They have
gained some knowledge which, If disclosed, would end III terrible retribution
for the olllccr or man concerned.

BUY FIFTH LIBERTY BONDS
AND BE SAFE.
About tho snddost thing in tho
world is to undergo solf-dcnlol for
years, to sovo money and then to sco
tho "rainy day fund" wlpod out by
tho failuro of Boino "wild cot" scheme.
This happens ovory day. Widows
and hnrd-workiug mon aro credulous.
They listen to tho oily promises of
"got rich quick" promoters nnd hand
ovor their savings to slick salesmen
with "bluo sky" securities promising
Impossible) profits.
And when tho bolt foils out ot tho
clear sky tho pitiful savings of years
dlsnppcar in nn instant. "Tho
Bonanza Pntroll Co. litis gono up. Wo
aro ruined I" Thon thero Is nothing
to do but begin llfo all over and at
a time when earning capacity has bo
gun to obb and tho way is thornier
than ever boforo.
Whatever tho temptation may have
been in tho past to do this thing,
there is no oxcuso tor it now. Hun
dreds of thousands of experienced
publicity and Investment men liavo
been at work for nearly two years,
undor the authority of tho American
Government, educating millions ot
pcoplo in tho fino art of safo invest
ing. It is undoubtedly tho fact that
more pcoplo aro saving money today
than ovor beforo in all tho history of
tho world. And moro of tho pcoplo
aro interested in tho proper handling
ot their savings accumulations. Lit
erally millions have been taught to
buy Government bonds, and they bavo
lenrnod to buy Thrift and War Sav
ings Stamps as the best posslblo way
to provent tho wasto ot fugitive
quartors and dimes.
Tho Government will offer another
chance to "got vin on tho ground
fioor" during tho spring when tho
Fifth Liberty Loan is offorod. Tho
monoy will bo spent to pny tho cost
of maintaining nnd restoring to their
homes tho valiant soldiers who lnivo
won for America tho world's great
est victory. Tho bills must bo paid
and tho Amorlcnn pooplo must pay
thorn.
From the "thrift and savings" view
point tho Fifth Llborty Lonn will bo
ns good as, or oven bottor than, tho
previous Liberty Loans. It Is likely
to liavo a shorter maturity and that
will onnblo tho holder to obtain n
generous Incomo whllo ho holds them
and got his principal back, with a
handsomo appreciation during the
coming porlod ot intonso activity and
prosperity.
If anything "goes up in value" Lib
erty bonds surely will. Tho way to
get tho benofit of such advances In
value Is to buy tho coming Fifth Lib
erty bonds.
To buy thorn when they aro offorod
ovorybody should bogln saving up
now.
Sot asldo all tho monoy you can
spnro out of your wages and hovo it
in your savings bank for tho initial
pnymont on Fifth Liberty Bonds.
