MagaZine)

How many of us give thought to the
Misunderstanding, spine-stiffening
value of Liberty Bond or Thrift
Stamp?
Generally speaking, the man or
woman who cannot save money is a
failure. and those who can save are
successes.
Thrift is an insurance policy
against utter failure and the process
OF saving is generally of more real
value to the individual than the
amount saved. If thrift meant mere
ly saving money. Benjamin Frank
lin would have gone down in history
as a successful miser, and Lincoln
and Gladstone would have borne the
stigma that comes to the ayaricious
man.
When you buy Liberty Bond or a
Thrift Stamp, you are making your
self part of one of the most colossal
movements for the benefit of man
kind since the dawn of history and
quietly, modestly, assuredly you also
are developing within yourself a
strength of character that has not
been yours before.
In the years that are to come, how
many prosperous citizen looking
back to these stirring days, will say
Il laid the foundation OF my fortune
when | bought my first Liberty Bond
back in 1918"
Give me a boy who is buying Lib
erty Bonds or Thrift Stamps today,
and | will give you successful man
in ten or twenty years. For the
process of selfdenial will give rigid
ity to his back bone, sQuareness to his
jaw and clearness to his brain, and
he will fight his way onward and
upward to succeed in the fact Of ev-
cry adverse circumstance that the
evil genius of ill-luck can contrive.
Let our teachers our four-minute
orators, our preachers and all others
who are valiantly working for the
success of these war issues, point out
the fact that when a man saves
money for these purposes he is put
ting in one good lick for Uncle Sam
and two for himself; for the nation
will march on to victory, the cause
of true righteousness and justice will
prevail and he who fails to help is /
cheating himself.
Suddenly we have rushed into an
era demanding individual efficiency.
The heyday of the slip-shod person is
gone forever Thriftlessness is a
word written on the page of a book
that is closed, The day of doing
things to the very best advantage is
here. We have reached the period |
when thrift has come into its own
The whole world has frightened up its
belt.
The man who succeeds from now
on is he who can do, and do, and do!
Individual camoufage will no longer
bring success. Hereafter only the
man who can do things best will be !

Mother and Son Suffocated

The heavy beams and brick walls
fell through the building, enveloplng
the chambers occupied by Mrs, Ford
and her son. They were thus I'M

them to the first floor, and then, after
another pause, to the basement They

lives in an air raid on London.
The two upper floors of the house
were occupied by another family, all
of whom were killed. Mrs. Ford's
mother, Mrs. Brown, occupied a room
on the first floor directly under Mrs.
Ford's chamber, while beneath her.
in a small basement bedroom, was
Mrs. Ford's maid, Annie Coxall.
The maid, whe is a strong English
country girl of twenty-five, amid the
sound Of splintering timbers and
crashing brickwork ran up the mar
row basement stairs, her first thought
being for the safety of the aged Mrs
Brown, to whom she was deeply at
tached.
