Your Money
A Veterans Story Of Saving.

per cent interest. He sold the hay
from the land for enough to pay the
taxes and interest on his loan. and
after a few years put the land under
the plough.
Today the 100 acres rents for $500
a year cash, and could be sold at
any time for $1,000. The owner Is
not anxious TO sell, for the land Is
right next to a small railroad town
aEd will probably be valuable later
as town lots.
When bought. this land was S5
miles from the nearest railroad and
four miles from a town. Few Of the
buyers friends agreed that he was
doing wise thing; In fact, they
thought he was throwing money
away. No need to say now that his
judgment was good!
In view of this mans success,
what he has written to me Is worth
passing on to young men today who
are looking toward the future:

answer TO President Wilson's last
note. When the note was made pub

was = sharp slump In securities and
general disappointment On the de-
cline however there was good buy

some way . diplomatic break would
bs averted: the very evident willing
ness Of the German government to
conciliate American opinion being
the basis Of this hope. The Mexican
situation has much improved. and
this served to lessen the general ap-
prohension against which the mar

headlong expansion. The total mer-
chandise shipments from the United
