SAVING METHODS INITALY
Installment Plan Adopted To En-
courage General Participation
In War Loans.

The humble citizen of Italy in
sists upon doing his part to help his
country to carry her war and post
war financial burdens. There are no
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps in Italy, and there are hum
dreds of thousands of patriotic Ital-
ians who never have more than a.
dollar or two at time to offer their
government. -AGsx tIqxE
But in Italy, just as in all other
belligerent nations, a way has been
provided to take advantage of the
invaluable assistance which the small
est invester can give the nation both
in war and in peace. The Italian
government has arranged to sell war
bonds through the banks on the club
plan. A workman or small farmer
goes to a bank and makes a small de-
posit and asks that a 100 lire S2O)
war bond be purchased for him. He
then completes the payment for his.
bond at the rate of 2 Ira ($1.4O)
per month. He may secure a 500
hra band by monthly payments of
35 Ira ($7.00).
Though they have different meth
DDS of collecting the contributions
OF that large proportion Of their ci-
tizens who are unable to accumulate
500 or even $50 at one time, it will
be found that every one of the belli-
gerent nations has found it absolute
ly essential to make some arrange
ment to secure the support of the
small invester. Great Britain and
the United States are meeting the
situation by the sale of small denom-
national government securities in
the form of war savings stamps or
securities. France, Italy and others
accomplish the same result BY issu-
ing small denomination bond pay
able on some sort of an installment
plan.

Great Britain in seven weeks after
the Armistice had total of over
$40 million pounds sterling, where

 OF JESS WILLARD

They say people get tired of ex- champions of the prize ring, but the statement is not always true. Here's Battling Nelson. former king of the 133 pounders, touring the country with a lecture about the Willard Dempsey fight, packing 'em in" and turning em away" and collecting several hun dred dollars each week for his bit
 For some reason people never seem to tire of Bat Nelson. The Hedge wisch lad seems to find new admirers every year, and despite the fact they criticise Nelson for too liberal use of the personal pronoun, they pay their money to see and hear him, especially when his subject deals with the sport wherein he made both fame and for tune.
 In his talk about the big fight at To- 1edo, Nelson is not entirely compli- mentary. He characterizes the affair as a money grabbing venture and then hands Willard few jolts for en- tering the battle in such poor condi- tion and therefore unable to fight for title as a champion is generally ex- pected to fight.
 Jess Willard as a champion. He has always been friendly with the Kansas cowboy, but he was honest in his con- victions that Willard did not shape up as the champions of the heavyweight class shaped up in the past And of course, Willard's condition upon enter ing the fight with Dempsey, gives Nel- son his one delightful chance to con- tinue his attack on those in the fight sport who are more interested in mulching the public out of perfectly good money than they are in giving a conscientious exhibition of their abil- ity as fighters.
 Since he was forced out of the fight game by Father Time. Nelson has nev- CT ceased in his bombardrnent of those conditions in the glove game which are under suspicion. On several oc- casions he has faced near annihilat for his straightforward discussions but he has never ''let up and says he never will. Nelson's popularity might be called a tribute to honesty. and be taken as a sign post to the youngsters of the present generation.
