BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June 25, when the
first series of $750,O00,0O0 of United
States Treasury Certificates Of Indebt-
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body of men than The men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere.
They make a deep study of finance.
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies in financing
the war. and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp of approval on the
methods adopted by the United States
Government TO avoid repetition of the
Mistakes.
This plan of Certificates of Indebt-
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinvestment this fall
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country of great strain it would
experience if the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

Consumption of Sugar Goes

lion was rs pounds per capita. In
lS21-1S25 the average per capita con-
sumption was S.3 pounds and was prac-

n the five years ending with 1915 the

Reasons for the increase can be

And when you've set your mark on high.

For it's not the thing you do. but how
you do IT,
Would you find the pot of gold
With its blessings manifold,
But with it have your conscience free
from blight?
Then cut your wants in half.
Make thrift your daily staff,
And keep your credit and your honor
bright
And when the tempter offers graft, for
sake IT.
For it's not how much you make, but
how you make it.
Would you build your monument
Ere your busy life be spent;
Or would you the applause of men COM

Then purge your soul of greed,
Hear every call of need
And scatter blessings with an open
hand.
If money easy comes. do not abuse IT.
For it's not how much you save, but how

Old Age Cannot Wear Out
Its Shoes as ReckIessIy
As Does the Gay Youth

Preparing for easy old age is one of
the spurs that has transformed n
wholesome ambition into "vaultiRg
ambition that O'erleaps itself" Many
man has shortened his life Overwork-
ing to take care of the old age that he
thus snuffed out. observes writer in
the Minneapolis Journal. Any man is
remiss who does not prepare against
old age. but nature has also taken a
hand in this preparation.
Old age cannot wear out its shoes as
recklessly as does youth. The normal
old man finds better entertainment in
meditation than he could in expensive
amusement. Memory is his movie"
Society does not ask old people TO burn
expensive midnight oil nor to appear
on dress parade. Thus normal and
gratifying reduction of OutgO is equiva-
lent to an addition to the income.
Feverish preparation for old age i'm
plies the belief not only that the appe-
tite will not decrease with old age. but
that old age will be wholly helpless to
sustain itself. AS matter of fact,
but small proportion of the old are
totally disabled for gainful labor. And
few, If any, old people are as happy
when idle as when occupied with such
work as they are fitted to do.
The wise old man has learned what
rs a foolish young man he failed to
see, that "enOugh is as good as
feast" and that after all imam wants
but little here below" Sensible com
fort in old age does not come very
high.
