PUT LIBERTY BOND INTEREST
IN U. S. SAVINGS SECURITIES
On November IS Uncle Sam Will Pay
Out $14S,517 ,248; Keep Dollars
Working.

The United States government will
have one of it's biggest pay days on
November Is, when Liberty bond in
terest to the amount of $148,517 ,24S
will be available for the wise invest
ors who bought Liberty bonds to re-

dollar now in purchasing power is not
worth more than so cents as compared
with five years ago. That dollar, in
due season, will go back to the one
hundred cents. So if dollar is invest
ed now, it will be worth approximate
ly twice as much when the War Saw
ings stamps or the Treasury Savings
certificates mature. 1t is wisdom for
every one to keep their income in
creasing until money is worth more.
You can do that by re-investing your
Liberty bond interest on November Is
in War Savings stamps and Treasury
Savings certificates, which pay per
cent interest compounded quarterly.
All you have to do is to take your
Liberty bond coupons to any post Of
fee and almost any bank and ex-
change them for War Savings stamps.
which are nondepreciable and nom
f1uctuating. In case you ever need the
money, you always can cash them at
any post Office on ten days notice.
Each purchaser of War Savings stamps
gains sure profit and insurance for the
future. The government gains some
money and assures and stabilizes its
financial safety and prosperity by as
surfing the financial future Of its citi-
zenS.
Uncle Sam has another pay day on
December Is when $143, 533, 1858 will
be available for re-investment.
Don't forget these dates. Go to a
post office or bank and put your Lib
erty bond coupons in War Savings
stamps.

BLACK SILK IS
MUCH IN FAVOR
Trend Runs to frocks in Which
Harshness Has Given Way to
Charm and Dignity.
new TAFFETAS ARE IMPROVED
Material Does Not Split and Crack and
10 Regarded a Better Investment
Than 1t Was Some Sea-
sons Ago.

To complete ones spring wardrobe
at least one taffeta frock must be in
Guided. This may be one Of the new
and very lovely black gowns of this
crisp silk or stiff and rather simple
and quaint evening frock, but to be alb
solutely correct, declares fashion
writer, at least one taffeta frock must
be included in the seasons outfit.
None of the silk gowns for years past
has had just the charm and dignity
that the black taffetas of this spring
have achieved. Indeed, the very silk
itself has acquired a new suppleness
and a softness which gives delightful
drapery effects. Again, these newer
taffetas do not split and crack as once
they did and are therefore much bet
ter investment than this sort of silk
was some seasons ago.
RuffIes in Vogue.
Since ruffles are so much in vogue
it is interesting to note that one Of
the most advanced models developed
in black taffeta silk shows a very long
and narrow skirt with slightly hob
bled effect carried out by placing three
ruff1es one above the other with the
hens of the little frills turned up to
the waist instead of in the usual man
ner of placing ruffles turned down to-
ward the hem of the skirt. This is one
of the new fancies of the spring-this
of the upside down ruffle-and it gives
a distinctive look to all frocls and
proves them Of the latest model.
On the particular black dress men
toned, the very long front panel is I'M
broken from the square neck quite to
the bottom of the skirt, except by the
ruffies, and untrimmed except for
straight row of black silk buttons
placed straight down one side. The
back has a slightly draped hustle effect
and a sash. and the sleeves are long
and tight.
just why black should be preferred
| in this sort of silk frOck it is difficult
to say, as for long time black taffeta
silk was left for the middle aged and
for mourning gowns. Certain 1t is

Governmental Profit Sharing.

War Savings Stamps represent the
governments plan for profit-sharing

purchased for quarter each, entitle
the owner, on paying of few extra
pennies-seventeen during the month
of June-to possession of War Saw

ment bond emitting said owner to di-
rect share in the well-paying business
of the government. Five years from
date of issue this War Savings
Stamp will pay from Is to Il
per cent interest, and meanwhile it's

skirt, which is drawn in with very
little fulneSS. A sash finishes the
waist, is tied in a rather large bow
and falls nearly to the bottom of the
skirt.
AS to the bodice, it also reveals the
little short square chemisette of fine
net like the one mentioned. AS two
wide reverS finish the front of the
bodice in a sort of surplice effect, the
upper part of this waist resembles
smart little Elton jacket. The sleeves
are three-quarters long and are finish
ed with wide, fOlded-back cuff.
One of the very successful combi-
nations for this style of dress is taft
feta and georgette, happily arranged
in one instance with a long tunic Of
blue geOrgette over an underneath
skirt of blue taffeta. The bottom of
the tunic is handsomely ornamented
with an application of taffeta in small
scrolls and pieces cleverly embroid-
cred in place with heavy silken threads.
A repetition of the applique appears
on the blouse, which Overhangs the tunic
and belt slightly, and the long taffeta
sash in the back makes a good finish
for the waist. This also shows but
tons of silk in the front of the bodice
and short vestee of fine white lace
finishes the upper part of the front.
The sleeves are the curious short bebe

Evening Frocks.
Taffeta frocks are by no means con-
fined to just afternoon gowns, as this
silk is being extensively used for SIM
pie evening frockS and really offers
welcome change fro the heavier
brocades and metal tissues, the beaded
and spangled splendid robes of which
we shall doubtless grow tired in spite
of their great beauty and elegance.
A rose pink silken frock of the placid
silk has a little bertha of very rich
lace outlining the rather low decol-
letage and is without sleeves. The
skirt is very long and very narrow and
only slightly draped effect just in the
very front of the long skirt breaks
the otherwise perfectly plain lines.
The bands of silken loops, which are
being so much used, trim a dark blue
ening gown and puffs of the silk
y. tn corded edges trim another, though
ia this instance very smart afternoon
gown.
While one finds an occasional COM
bination of georgette and taffeta and
now and then some lace or satin used
in a combination with this sitter silk,
for the most part the best models and
those most frequently seen are I'M
trimmed and rely principally on the
drapery and clever lines to achieve
the distinction most women want for
their frocks. The cordings and puffs
are not entirely new, as we used them
several seasons back, but that is long
enough ago to give the idea Of an en-
tirely new style when we see them
now.

The Trouble to Keep 1t.

It's easy enough to earn money in
our prosperous, plentiful America. The
trouble is to keep it. To keep it your
self requires private bank or an
arsenal. Uncle Sam has no trouble
in keeping it safely. And while he
keeps it during the time between War
Savings Stamps purchase and matu-
rity or redemption, he pays us well
for the privilege. War Savings Stamps
represent profit of from Is to q per
cent.

WHY GO TO COLLEGE?

The average salary per year of the
non-educated man in the United
States is S400. The average salary OF
the high school graduate is $1,000
yearly. The average college graduate
of the United States received $1,000
annually. Hence for the outlay of the
four years of high school, according 10
averages. a man receives about two
dollars a day for the rest of his life,
and for money returns on the four
college years the graduate by aver
ages is due to add $500 q year to his
sucome until he dies. All of which is
reason for giving thought to the Wis
consin Colleges Associated.

Riding sixty miles within the last few days over

everywhere.
1t was so noticeable that a careful count showed
only eleven flags in sight in three hours through the
towns and villages along country roads sprnkled
with farmhouses, cottages and barns.
And it was not rainy day, either!
Not long since hardly a home building in
Philadelphia was without flag, and some buildings
flew flag from every window.
This week, with it's most notable Fourth of July
since that one when Liberty Bell, now DID, rang out
the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphians
should set the examples to the United States of
lavish and proper display of Old Glory.
Neither the United States nor the nations of the
