A NEW KIND or ssAoxER.

We are all familiar with the man
who is afraid to don 4 uniform, with
the stay-at-homes VINO think they need
five meals q day, and with the Dusi-
ness man who complains that the war
interferes with his business. But here
comes Stacker with a brand-new
stripe of yellow-the man or woman
who thinks there Is some good reason
for hiding currency.
The movement for boarding money
received it's first impetus from the
war rumors afloat when the United
States entered the war to the effect
that this democratic country might
elect to confscate savings accounts at
Notwithstanding the assurances of the
administration that such thing not
only was undemocratic, but was un-
necessary, a great many sel1shly in
clined persons took money out Of cir
culation and hid 1t away.
Somewhat later, when the security
markets were unsettled, still other peo-
pie of this stripe foolishly thought it
would be wiser to have portion Of
their tangible wealth boarded in the
shape of currency than either to in
vest it or carry it On deposit at the
banks. To a large extent these peo-
pie were moved by the fear that some
sort Of disaster might occur which
would put them in want. Probably
very few of them stopped to consider
the far-reaching effect of such action.
For one thing, money taken out Of
circulation and boarded is always in
danger of being lost or stolen. For
another thing, it does not earn the
owner anything. Worst of all, such
boarded money cannot be- passed from
hand to hand and perform its usual
function of exchange between the peo-
pie Of the country. Such boarding
makes more difficult the operation Of
business, adds another load to the al
ready heavy burden Of fighting the
war, and puts the hOarder in the slack
err class.
How much better it would be If you
are boarding money any place to in
vest this money in United States gov
eminent Liberty Loan bonds. Any
currency you have hidden away Is SIM
ply the promise to pay Of your coun-
try; Liberty Loan bonds are also prom
Uses to pay but, In addition, will earn
for you Az per cent yearly. When
you have invested in Liberty bonds
you have set in motion a great many
wheels in very important machine.
You annually lend money to your gov
eminent with which it can carry on
the war to victory. You FREQ money
heretofore imprisoned and permit 1t
to work among business men and wage
earners. You start yourself in con-
sentative investment habit. Finally,
you change yourself from Stacker to
q patriot.
Stop boarding. Invest in Liberty
bonds.
