to make the world safe for democracy
hereafter.
No sympathy was expressed in the

to convert the war into one of con-
quest, but it insisted that restitution,
reparation and also certain territorial
readjustments are necessary if the re-
newal of ornaments and war is to be
avoided.

Character Building in Thrift Stamps

called to sit among the mighty.
The war has brought about so much
waste and destruction that there is
no place now for the idler, the incom.
petent, and the spendthrift. II you
are a young man with ambition for a
successful career, say to you, above
all things else: Learn Thrift" And
the way to learn thrift today is to buy
a Liberty Bond or collection of war
savings stamps.
Billboards by day and blazing cleo
trio lights by night are flashing the
message to us that thrift will win the
war. The very air is surcharged with
it 1t is easy to start the opening
wedge of thrift career now Bands
are playing, the boys are marching,
the flag is waving.
A hundred million Americans can
read their duty as clearly as the sun
in the sky. Be thrifty, stop waste,
buy a Liberty Bond The man who
cannot become thrifty today with all
this encouragement; with the whole
civilized world, as it We're back of
him, urging him on in his worthy en-
deavor, is indeed a hopeless drifter
and an incurabe spendthrift
None of us ever will see again days
such as these. Never again will
there be the stirring encouragement
to practice thrift that we have today,
and in the midst of it all, let us
grasp its complete significance.
If you have never saved before,
start now Not only will your Lib
erty Bond bring your country step
nearer victory, but it will open up
to you a new life. 1t will impart
new viewpoint. 1t will bestow upon
you the real secret of all success
self-mastery.
