An Investment? Why Not Ten

'"Why don't you buy her a small

gravely, "and then 60 do it-really buy

He wasn't joking. P. doesn't speak
lightly when Thrift is the subject. l
could quote a lot of his sermon here,
hut what's the use! Heaven knows, we
all agree that the squirrel who stores
I'D food for the cruel months of winter
isn't nut.
What better beginning for the young
human squirrel than an investment IN
the bonds of our own rich and great
city? So queried Jones.
Security is what you want, said }.

had never bought one, and he evidently
believed that he had done his part by
giving me the impulse to invest wisely.
Probably the Mayor could tell me how
to buy ten-dollar city bond. Borrow
ing dollar from Jones to make up the
needed ten, left him to go to the May
or's office. Let me transcribe the actual
diary record of my achievement:

from a desk to ask what | wanted.

they think that they can get one
they'll let me know. Now, if you'll give
me your telephone number I'll call you
up, say, at about one-thirty.'
A better plan, thought, would be for
me to stop in again after lunch.

greeted me cheerfully.

Just what it'll cost. Do you want it?'

Jus a minute" He used the tele-
phone again. Hello! Blanks? City

that ten-dollar piece. What's
the quotation? OH . Well,

Il don't know just what the price Is
About ten dollars. Just give me ten

away to get receipt from the cashier
"a handsome bit of light green paper,
wavily water-marked. He also brought
along a blank for me to sign, something
like the next friend" statement a SOL
der makes before signing enllSIlnenC
papers and dedicating his life to his
country's defence.
"The bond will have to be regis

"Oh, | suppose so,' agreed; but he
wasn't taken in by my assumption OF
intimate knowledge. He persisted in
explaining:
'You see, they don't issue the ten
dollar pieces in coupon form. What
name do you want it registered in?
Your own"

minor-if that makes any difference"

which he wrote on pink slip.
