DON'T Buy Too Bio q Bond.

Here is word of advice for tie
farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite of
more than you can chew. Your gov
eminent doesn't want you to STRAP"
Yourself or run into financial difficult
ties trying to pay for bond. Buy one
small enough so you will be able to
nav for It in the allotted time without
having to borrow money to meet the
obligation. Its value will represent
YOUR savings for that period of time.
If your circumstances won't permit OF
YOU purchasing a $1,000 bond, buy on
ly n $500 one. Don't complicate our
already complicated financial problem
by assuming debt you can't pay.

WOMEN TO THE FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the. Lines Is Being Prose.
cuted on q Tremendous Scale
Every Woman Can Help
Do Something.
(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening

(6y ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening
Post.)
The day seems to have passed when
woman's education consisted of plano
lessons and little polite French.
Now she studies biology, PSYCHOLOGY.
and all the other ologies. In this
great and radical change in the posi-
ton Of woman 1t will not do to over
look the change In her relation to
money matters. 1t Is no longer I'M
womanly to know something about
money. Feminine charm is not d.
minished by knowing the difference
between bond and share of stock.
Millions of women earn their living
today. Hundreds of thousands have
independent means and must decide
for themselves in affairs financial.
More and more of the wives, mothers.
and sisters not only spend the house
hold money, but are consulted by the
men when an investment Is to be
made. 1t matters not whether the
investment consists of victrola, an
automobile, or bond. II is said men
do not take their wives into their con-
fidence when they gamble or take a
flyer but it Is also said that deception
in these matters does not pay.
So there is every material reason
why women should do their part and
more In floating the Liberty bonds.
Indeed woman recognizes a gold
dollar just as quick as man, and
when 1t pays good interest In addition
she Is not going to turn 1t down. But
there is more than purely busi-
ness and selfish side to the women of
this country. They have surprised
even themselves with their executive
ability and powers of business organ
ization. The Red Cross and every
other variety of relief work has been
in its detail largely the result OF
womans. effort.
Behind the lines women are prose-
cutting the war on tremendous scale.
There are millions of men as well as
women who cannot fight in the
trenches, who cannot even drive mo-
tortrucks or work In munition rae
tories. There are some people who can
not even successfully raise vegetable
garden, but there is not an adult man
or woman outside the poorhouse and
the hospital who cannot either buy or
help to sell Liberty bond. 1t Is the
least they can do.
