THE BEST DECORATION


They've hung a big Old Glory on a
rope across the street
And just to see it futter puts a tickle
in my feet
And sends a crinkle up my back and
down into each arm
1t makes me hear the bugle call and
feel wars awful charm:
1 hear the fife notes shrilIing and the
throbbing of the drum;
1 hear the yell. of battle as the thund'-
rous hoof thuds come;
see mems bodies falling, though their
spirits never lag
Such thrills as this run through me
when l see that swaying flag
Look-look. The breeze has caught it
up and holds it while the sun
Sets all its stripes a-glitter, while the
ripples race and run!
The glory of those rudy bands shut
in by lanes of white,
Flood all my dusky deskroom with a
lingering, loving light;
l drop my work enraptured; while, to
break that magic spell,
l doff my hat and wave it with a loud,
ecstatic yell
love that flag, | love il with a love
'twould dare and die
God bless those glorious stripes and
stars flung out against the sky!
1 love it as did Francis Key, who
penned tn immortal song:
1 love it with a fervor that can never
think it wrong;
I love it for the freedom it has given
unto men;
love it-for its beauty, for its grace
fulness, and then
love it with the patriot love that
never wonders why,
But sheds hot tears whene'er those
folds he sees athwart the sky;
] love it for the lessons it has taught
to men of brag-
But, most of all ! love it just because
it lis OUR FLAG.

A Slltcn IN lllle saves liibN-
This trite saying applies to every sta
ton in life. II Is especially applicable
in a commercial sense. A dollar saved
will, in time, produce nine. The prin-
cipal invested becomes in time inslg-
nificant when compared to the interest.
To illustrate this we give practical
proof by the following example: In
vest for child 500 a year for twenty
one years. At the age of p with 3 per
cent annually compounded the child
gets s.. S67 So. i. e., the principal plus
S76127. But if invested at 6 per cent
the child gets SO, 1927, i. e., the prin-
cipal plus 81, 1927. Here is where the
stitch in time" saves for the child, or
investor $1,13162. Some of our early
investors have now almost reached this
extraordinary extra saving, and that,
too. without worry, as we always give
gilt-edge security for the full amount
invested. Call and examine our way of
doing business during the past eighteen
years. or write, and we viii satisfy you
that "a stitch in time saves nine
