Buy a Thrift Bond

"A Liberty Bond is diploma in the school Of
thrift declared S. ". Staus, President Of the
American Society for Thrift, in statement to
the members Of that organization today. IA
subscription to this issue is the best way to be-
gin thrifty LIFE" Secretary McAdoo is asking
for subscriptions from 1O,000, 900 Americans. IF
he Is successful in this feature Of the loan It win
mean that thousands Of our citizens have for the
first time in their lives begun the accumulation
Of something for old age or the rainy day.
Let me appeal especially to the man or wom-
an who has gone along thus far in life with abso-
lutely nothing laid by. Not only does your
country need your help in this matter but you
need it even more. This Liberty Loan is going
to be success, for America knows not how to
fail, but you will keep on being an individual fail
ure unless you arise to this opportunity. A Lib
erty bond or two tucked away in safety deposit
vault will bring you more pleasure than the same
amount invested in any other way. Once a saver
always saver. The person who hasn't enough
moral stamina to save money for such a cause as
this is pretty apt to be failure in life. Prove
your worth and give your own future chance
by subscribing for this loan. You need it as much
as it needs you"

her eyes. took it and drew from the
envelope sheet of notepaper whose

How Daniel Willard Got Himself Out Of Rut

At the age of thirty-eight, Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
was making $500 month.
Indications were that he would never make a
higher salary. Seemingly he was in a rut whose
route was the monotonous repetition of the same
old work for the same old price.
Suddenly he got himself out of the rut. The
results of long years of hard work, hardship, self
denial, faithful performance of duty and devo-
tion became apparent. There was nothing spec
tacular in his rise.
Steady plugging, however, brought its re-
ward
In an article in the American Magazine, Mr..
Willard says:
" If really want to get along rather than to see
easy time you have you apply yourself
wholeheartedy-both during working hours and
your leisure hours-o your business. BY having your
mind work apt to learn how to do
curately and there nothing important than
curaey Then, don't after doing what you told
