Before deciding on the use of their surplus funds, investors or business concerns should give careful thought to the unusual opportunities now pre sented by bonds. Interest rates are already tending to lower levels and with the passing of high interest rates investment bonds will no longer be obtainable at present low prices, or yield present rates of interest. Our July bond list has been designed to be of the greatest convenience to those who wish to consider or compare investment opportunities. It con tains over 160 of about 300 issues we now have on hand, all carefully investi gated and approved, and therefore suitable for conservative investors. Our unusually wide assortment assures any purchaser of a selection, with our help, if desired, suited to his own particular requirements. These issues are arranged in groups of short and long maturities, bonds exempt from taxa tion, and partial lists of our Government, Municipal, Railroad, Public Utility and Industrial issues.

It Is a parade that should not be permitted, for It la a defiance of the law. and every one who paradee can be looked upon aa a taw-breaker. At the present tlmo I have a friend from a foreign country vlslt liig at my home, and he said to me: "It has been my privilege since coming1 to your country to spend about three months In va licuo cltlrs situated between San Francisco and Washington, nnd evory day I have marveled at the sobriety of your dtliena and the abeenco of objectionable street scene. So Impressed am I that again and again I have found myself asklns the aues tlons 'How l It your cltlrs differ from other countrls?

Fop the life of me I cannot understand ny citizen of good standing wishing to re peal a law which makes for the elimina tion of drunkenness, the lessening of crime, the protection of tho weak and which en courages Bood citizenship, prosperous busi ness and happy domestic life. I expect tho brewer to oppose prohibition because his tested Interests aro Jeopardised. I am not surprised at the saloon-keeper opposing It. because It outlaws his business and compels Mm cither to shut down or to change tho "bill of faro." llut for the decent fathers nnd good mothers and respectable and honorable eltl 7ena to take part In a procession of pro test to weaken tho enforcement of a splen did natlon-bulldlnit movement well, it la surprising, to say the least.

Why Youngsters Come to City To the Editor of tin EvenUa Public Ledger: Sir Much has been written on why the yrur.g folks leate the old farm and seek life's opportunities elsewhere, when. In the end, tho farm would prove best for them, presenting more real opportunity for a com retenco and happiness than do the cities. Ihe question Is not hard to answer In the main. Too often parents ara the reason. They fall to vltuallre the needa of their children and that tho boys and girls ot to day should not be expected to follow exactly the footsteps of their parents when the were young. One reason whv tho boys want to leave the farm Is the long hours that they aro ex pected to work. If there Is any placo where child labor netds to be regulated, it is on tho nvoraso farm, where the children nrc stirred out nt 4 A M. and are at work by 0 A. M. nnd continue until 0 P. M . and then have the chores to do nfter that. The expectation of any monetary reward for this arduous toll Is frowned upon, and If a lltte money Is asked for on a Saturrlay evening It Is given with tho reminder that "money In hard to get." Tho svstem of work on the form pre cludes any possible social life, especially In the summer season. Ros and girls hate no time to associate with the neighbors' children, and life Is a dreary round oi drudgery. It's work trim daylight to dark, with never a chance for a Uttlo ball game In the evening for the boys nor a little visit between girl neighbors. In nnswer the farmer will say that this long, hard labor Is necessary to success on the, farm. I denv It. It Is the farmer's fault that his condition Is such as to make necessary this life of drudgery. Why doesn't he. through co-opcraUon with other farmer-, bring about tho change of condi tions that will make farm life moro tol erable? It Is up to him to Improve lltlnr conditions on tbo farm. Nobody elso can or will do It for him The workers In the rlties, through concerted action, have im proved their condition Wby not the firmer? W. L. PUG It. Pottstown. Pn., June 2S, 1921. Keep 'Em Sweet To thr Editor ol thr Evening Public Ledgrr: Sir As ono Interested In children who aro unspoiled, who are content with being and acting ns children, nnd who are being trained for good Americnn citizens, I wont to enter my protest agnlnst the cpldmlo of fan v dinclng for children that seems tn be sweeping the country. Each da jb I rend mv favorite paper or magazine. I see pic ture after p'cture of darling little young sters, clad In outrageously scanty oostumos, and standing in on affected poso. No won der tho reformers today are crying out against Immodesty In women's actions and clothing. How can little girls grow up to bo sensible women when they have been trained to dress and act In such a way ns tn gain the plaudits of cnnuled men and wi men. The practice of nllowing four and flo Mr old rhlldren to eutertnln at men's banquets, late ut night, In smoky hotel bajlro, ms. Is one which makes u thoughtful person gasp to think about Of course, the children enloy the plnudlts, but If they grow used to such applause, how will they ever be able to "get down to brass tacks" and prepare for the real duties of llfoT I do not believe In the old adage that children should bo seen and not heard, for I believe that the kiddles nre most Im portant; that their opinions should be lis tened to deferentially nnd tint their nctlvl tlei should be commented upon frequently. Dut I do think that they should be allowed to lead the slmplo life, not breathing the breath of crowded ballrooms late t night, with enthusiastic applauso as their nightly diet Let them learn dancing early, by all The People's Forum will appear Uallr In the Ktenlnc l'ubllo Ilger, nnd ulso In the hiindar Public ledger.

Ordinarily there Is something tuperclllous about this greeting. It does not sound genuine. I do not object to the Informality of It. There Is no good roason for tho stiff formali ties in present-day relationships. But "Hello, merer- seems to indicate that the nerann who uses it has wholly forgotten one's name ana aoesn't much care that ha has dono so, Aim no satisfactory excuse can be found for not recalling at least one of the names of persons whom ono Is familiar enough to greet with a "Hello."
