START TOWARD
SUCCESS FURNISHED

When a man gets $1,000 saved up
there are always opportunities for G
good investment. It is hard to place
much less than that. That is what
healthy men who are self.made ad
wise young men to begin early and
save the first thousand.
Until we went to war, it was hard
to get started toward that $1,000 un.
less at least one dollar could be put
away at a time Small change was
restless and acrobatic' and kept jump
ing out of our pockets into someone
else's.
Now. however, there is an easy way
to get that first thousand. The
answer is Thrift Stamps. They cost
only quarter apiece and can be con.
verted into War Savings Stamps. The
government of the United States
backs these War Savings Stamps with
a guarantee of per cent. interest,
compounded quarterly. Save and sue
ceed.

THRIFTY HOUSEWIFE
MAY HAVE LUXURlES
War Savings Stamps Furnish An
Easy Way to Obtain Money
for Conveniences. ~

Although a family may not be
wealthy enough for the lady Of the
house to have all the little convent
ences she wants, through Thrift and
War Savings Stamps the government
has provided way for the housewife
to fit up her kitchen, paint the house,
furnish her spare room or embellish
the parlor.
These women who were so wise as
to begin saving Systematically early
in 1918 have nice little sums invested
in War Savings Stamps by this time.
Eleven War Savings Stamps, some
of which cost as little as s4.12 apiece,
will buy first-class kitchen cabinet.
In many instances, the housewife
would not have saved anything to
speak of, had it not been for the War
Savings Stamps.
Women are quick to grasp the bene-
fits from, habits of thrift. Numerous
reports have been received at district
headquarters of the War Loan Organ
ization of the Fifth Federal Reserve
District of women who have started
in by putting quarters In Thrift
Stamps and who have been enabled
to buy desired articles to brighten
their homes.
AS soon as War Savings Stamp Is
bought, it begins earning more
money. War Savings Stamps are
practically ready money. They are
redeemable with accrued interest at
the post office on ten days notice, but
the longer they are held, the more
money they make for their holders.

FARMERS TURN SALES
INTO SAVING STAMPS
Odd Crops of Great Aid to Thrifty
TiIIers Of Soil in This District.

Farmers who are making habit
Of getting a few Thrift Stamps every
time they market anything from
their farms are finding that they are
able to save regulaly and that they
do not miss the small amounts in
vested. The average farmer in this
section Of the country depends large
Iy on his money" crop, which he har-
vests once a year. Almost every one
Of them, however, grows something
else which he markets at odd times.
An occasional load of hay may be
taken into town and sold. The thrifty
farmers also plant peas, beans, okra,
lettuce, beets or some of the other
vegetables which thrive in the South
and for which there is ready market.
Butter and eggs form staple articles
to be marketed between seasons.
BY buying just a few Thrift
Stamps each time the farm wagon
makes haul to town, the farmer or
his wife Is providing a fund which they
will be able to turn to good account
later on, for when these Thrift
Stamps are exchanged for War Saw
ings Stamp. they increase In value
automatically. and may always be
turned into cash on ten days written
notice to the postmaster, although the
longer they are kept the more they
earn.

AS PERMANENT INVESTMENT
Secretary of Treasury Glass Shows
Values of War Savings and

have not taken the War Savings
Stamps seriously as an investment
but the fact that they may be bought
in as large quantity as $1,000 face

interest return, makes them most de-
sirable for the average man or family.
Definite plans for the continuance

ed out.
Although War Savings Stamps
sales this year do not approach the
high marks made under stimulation OF
war need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been satis-
factory.
Savings in all channels shrank dur.
ing the early months Of the year, and
it is expected that War Savings Stamp
sales, along with postal savings and
savings bank deposits, will grow
steadily throughout the year.
Cooperation is sought earnestly IN
the matter of keeping Thrift and War
Savings Stamps on sale, so that no
one so inclined may fail to have oppors
tunity to invest his money wisely.

Be Careful in sing
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkai, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsided cocoanut oil for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and soft, fresh looking, bright
fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Be-
sides. it loOsens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
