A BANKER TEACHES THRIFT.

A BANKER is supposed to know about finance than
- the who wrote IT, Hence in our desire to promote
the sale OF savings stamps and urge thrift the
ton, we pleased to state that the campaign has the
Endorsement of bankers well Of press and pulpit In
particular let call attention to William G. Capps pres
dent Of the Planters State bank at Mountain Park Okla
This unassumng money lender holds that thrift is among
the most important lessons which he taught the children
Of America in peace war but he observes that the
affords an unusual opportunity to teach saving and pa
trotism at the same time
lie has the courage Of his conviction too has Mr. Caps
and offers hundred thrift cards with savings
stamp attached TO each to the first hundred children
under 10 years of who apply at his bank There
outright gift of SIS to promote his pan but he goes even
further and offers to each of these children who fill
their thrift card by their earnings by May 10 another
card with two savings stamps attached Nothing could be
iarer than that, conducive to thrift
And yet probable that this banker would contend
that his action is entirely philanthopc or patriotic He
knows other fnanciers know, that thrifty community
s in instances substantial and prosperous one and
in this encoura cement he is lending to the baby bond
paign he is only building for the government now but
he is building for the future in which he his bank will
have selfish though wholly worthy interest
When banker gives an Endorsement of this substantial
nature to thrift it is something which grown folk we'll
as children consider to their advantage As hinted
in the beginning a banker knows much about making
money and its advantages.

DOCTORS SHOULD VOLUNTEER.

THOUSANDS Of doctors have volunteered for service in
the war, and their patriotism, like that OF others who
have donned the khaki, Is deserving Of highest praise
Doctors begin their military career with the rank Of first
lieutenant while many Of equal greater ability in
other lines have gone in priyaies but for all OF that
most Of the army doctors have made large sacrifices to
their country Frequently Of large earning ca
paey their incomes almost wholly derived from per-
sonal effort Themselves withdrawn from he practice the
income ceases, and in many instances a divided family
must subss the modest pay OF lieutenant which Is
small compared with the fees Of well.esabshed ply

eudng the dressing stations just back of the line suffers
high mortality and base hospitals are liable to air
raids So war is serious business for doctors as it is for
others who undertake il actively.

mission is Of mercy and healing rather than the dread
