THE RECRUITING
PARTY Of NAVY To
Be HERE A WEEK

In order that the many advantages
Of the navy may be brought to the at
tention of the young men of this
section of the United States, the navy
department has authorized a travelling
pcblicity and recruiting party for the
Atlanta recruiting district.
This travelling recruiting party, with
Chief w. G. Burgess in charge, under
command of Lieut. H. r. Keller. of the
Atlanta recruiting district, is visiting
cities in Georgia, and not within easy
reach Of permanently located re-
cruiting tase, in interest of advertis-
Ing and recruiting for Uncle Sans
irst line of defense--the navy.
The members of the party will reach
Americas on March 22nd and leave on
March 29th, spending seven days In
the city.
The party will consist of two sec
tions the first to consist OF an advance
publicity man; the second to consist
of the recruiting force proper. The
advance publicity will distribute liter
ature, interview public officials with
view to securing their cooperation.
md give publicity to the fact that the
recruiting party will be in town to give
preliminary examinations. These par
ties will follow a fixed itinerary dur
ing their tour of the district.
When the main recruiting party ar
lives 1t will establish offices In To-
cation previously secured by the ad-
vance man, who will interview all eli
gible young men who desire inforrna-
lion, secure applications, and conduct
examinations.
The procedure will be as follows.
Any man wishing to be examined will
apply at the Office; make out an apph-
cation; when he will be given the
preliminary exaDination. If he passes
this physical examination, he will be
given ticket to Atlanta and told to
report to the navy recruiting station,
at that place for the final physical ex-
animation. Upon the completion OF
this final examination; if the applicant
passes, he will be enlisted and sent to
the training station at Norfolk, Va;
should he fail to pass, he will be given
ticket good for return trip to his
hcme 1t will thus be seen that eve
rything has been arranged for the con
venience and welfare of the applicant
and that the government stands all ex-
penses.
The greatest obstacle the navy de-
partment has to overcome in securing
recruits for the navy is the old time
worn tradition that the navy is made
up of men taken from the lower strata
Ct life, the down and out bum. who is
without character, honesty and integri-
t., the "grog-man" the old-time sea-
dog of the Captain Kidd sea story; and
that the navy is no place for the hon
est, upright young man of good re-
pute. This travelling publicity recruit
iig party is sent out to impress upon
the public, the good clean, healthy life
of the modern man-o-warsman, and
the high morals of the enlisted person
pel of the present day navy.

Among thrift arguments none il
stronger than this; II pays 70 save
and buy home.
We say that buying a home on
the installment plan is one Of the
iustifiable debt burdens you ought
TO shoulder. Let me illustrate:
In the first five years Of your
working life you can save 81 900.
About that time ycu may reason
ably expect 10 be married. You
know that it win be cheaper 10 live
IN your own home tlan 10 pay rent.
But 1000 won't buy much Of a
home. II you had 50, 900 more,
however, you know where YOU could
get one that you want. Very we'll;
borrow the $1,000 and make the
purchase. Borrow on condition
that you are to pay the loan OF in
monthly installments. Move into
the home and begin to make il at
tractive. Start a garden, plant
trees, keep the house painted and
looking like the home Of a prosper
Gus man. Il will increase in value
il you do.
Before you know il the borrowed
money viii be repaid.
There is, however, a contingency
which must be thought Of. You
may die before the mortgage Is paid
of. What them
Il is going to leave a knotty prob
lem to your widow. She may BE-
able to carry it on and retain the
home. Cold statistics, however.
show that she is more likely to lose
the home.
AZ this point in your eontempla-
ton Of the future You ought to
listen to the arguments Of the life
insurance companies. They are
worth considering too.
A good company will tell you that
when you undertake to buy the
howe on the terms I have suggested
you ought to take out a life policy
for $4,000. II you are normally
healthy md around thirty years old
his policy viii cost you about $50
! Sear-$5 a month.
Your problem then is: Can You
Iiford to pay s. a month in addition
o the payments on the mortgages
In case you died before the house
8 paid for the money from the in
Iurance company would save the
Tome for your family. That Is
'lain. But suppose you live on to
'omplete the paymentsY
After the home is your own and
he mortgage is satisfied you still
ave $4,000 Of insurance on your
ife and an obligation to 20 on pay
ng IS a month. The longer you
old the policy the more valuable
will be as a resource against fnan-
ial adversely. You can borrow
gainst it; you can surrender it for
cash value; you can get a fair pro-
ortion Of paid up insurance.
That is time when you can well
ford to talk insurance.-John n.
