WAGE FARMERS GIVEN SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN sAV-
 ING FOR RAINY DAY.
SAVE MONEY AND THE NATION
Plan That Has Furnished Many Homes May Readily Adapt It. tseIf to the Third Liberty
 Loan Campaign.

Every wage earner a bondholder" Is slogan that will become an ac- complished fact if the members of the Liberty Loan Organization of the Eighth Federal Reserve District real lze their ambitions. The adoption of the government partial payment plan will make 1t possible for every wage earner to subscribe to the Third Lib erty Loan and pay in small install ments
 The partial payment plan of pur- chase, in some form or other, Is as old as history. The idea Is imbedded in the business life of the world.
 St. Louis has many partial payment houses. Thousands of couples would have delayed their married happiness save for the installment furniture pay ment plan. There Is the piano-thou- sands of them now fully paid for; the graphophone. or the gas stove, or the new rug. Every wage earner knows how 1t is almost impossible to save up enough cash to make an outright purchase of these things. But with the weekly or monthly payment in sight there is a perpetual reminder and incentive to save.
 The net result of all these efforts is to inculcate in the people the habits of thrift and economy Money that would otherwise dribble away in lux uries that last moment is saved for useful purpose. In very few years the saving of the pennies can be made to show in substantial ways. Homes are paid for. building lots bought, ad- ditions made, and all through a sys- of the thing wanted while 1t Is being paid for.
 A Liberty Bond means much more to the wage earner who wants to in vest his savings. In this there Is ab- solutely no danger of the value going out of the purchase. Backed by un- told billions of the wealth of Uncle Sam. held strong in the hands of a hundred millions of people, based on not only the present but the future re 1 sources of the greatest country In the world, such an investment Is abso- lutely safe But, more than this. such a bond pays interest in cash, and at a ! high rate in view of the absolute se- 1 curity.
 Two dollars week will buy 8 St00 Liberty Bond in year that is as good as cash at the bank. In most other purchases on this plan the thing pur- chased deteriorates and every year grows less valuable.
 It Is up to you wage earners to dig. dig and plant the pennies for your self and Uncle Sam. The partial pay ment plan is your chance to do your part or to take your place with those who drag and hold back and clog the world. those who fall short of their part In the battle
 The partial payment plan is the missionary of the business world It has taken the sewing machine into countless homes. It has brought the electric iron and range into hot places and made the work light and the body 1 NuoleI IL Hds pldNfu ldubl-SdN HE anu hrain-saving machines all over the world.
 A worker in one of our St. Louis fac tories recently said: T don't think our wage earners have yet seen this war situation clearly in its relation to them They are in favor of fighting to the finish but cannot see just how they can help. except by faithful work
 For myself. l have told my wife that here We are in q war IL may las, another year. or two or three But it is bound to be over some day In the meantime, just for the time ot the war. we can cut down our little luxuries. our nickel here and dime there. and put it in Liberty Bonds. Of course. we will live simpler and deny ourselves and be pretty dull. but when 1t is over it will all come back and We will have our investment In hand, but. better than all, we can look our children and the boys in khaki when they come back, in the face in the coming years and tell them we didn't quit when there was something We could do to win.
