what it means to step out OF that in

where the men who make the mil

Big Purchase Rogers
IS 81 Si|Verware On
SALE SATU RDAY at

The Low Sale Prices Will

A. Rogers, 1881 Al guar
anteed Silverware will be
placed on sale by the Union
Outfitting Company next Sat
urday at hundreds of dollars
less than such high-grade sill
verware should be selling for
today.
The enormous saving is due
to the fact that heavy orders
were placed with the maker
early this year and previous
to the heavy advances in the
price of metals. The result is
an opportunity to buy silver
ware at prices that may not
be offered again for months
to come.
Included in the purchase
were a great many 26-piece
sets put up in lined cases.
There are also many dozens
Of knives, forks, spoons and
teaspoons which can be pur-
chased separately or by the
dozen.
The sale is just another con-
vincing evidence of the great
buying power Of the Union
Quitting Company and its
ability to lower prices because
of its location out of the high
rent district, where, as always,
you make your own terms.

Household Thrift.

The government is not losing its
interest in our methods of living,
now that the war is over. A recent
bulletin published jointly by the
Treasury department and the De-
partment of Agriculture analysed
household thrift, and gives many
reasons why the nation desires such
thrift
Household thrift helped win the
war. 1t will fortify the peace, max
ing America powerful, its people
prosperous, and its homes happy.
What one home wastes is taken
away from the nations wealth, and
makes all homes that much poorer.
THE war taught us to practice
thrift together in food, clothing and
in all goods, in order to serve Amer
lea and save the world. Our coun-
try asks continued thrift in the
home as a guarantee that we shall
remain prosperous, progressive,
independent, and dependable nation.
Thrift is permanent service
which the household can render to
the nation"

parts that might repel them He as
sures them that they are having val
liable training, as indeed they are, that
they are really doing good by renewing
the shortage of labor-and they really
are doing that, too.
Now when you are really up against

came to the United States several years
ago. and were held by banks for invest
ment
But it was the desire of Mr. Morgan
and those associated with him to make
test of American public sentiment to-
wards foreign securities of this kind. For
if an offering of $Z50, 900, 900 is easily alb
sorbed by the American public then in
due time offerings of like character may
be successfully made to the American
public In that way no small portion of
the Indebtedness of Great Britain to the
United States which is represented by
the demand notes now held in the fed
eral treasure may ultimately be alb
sorbed by the American people. If this
should prove to be the case then within
few years our own people will have in
vested permanently for a long time of
years in foreign securities of this kind
so that we will be able to maintain our
position as a creditor nation.
HONORABLE HIGH FINANCE
This proposition is spoken of as repre-
senting modern finance of the highest eff
ficiency and of the most honorable char
acter. Many of the details are of course
technical and involve a mastery knowl-
edge not only of modern methods of
financing but also of actual financial con-
ditions in the United States as well as
in Great Britain and in Europe
For instance, in addition to the safety
of the security and the tempting rate
of income which it will yield, it carries
another provision which has sometimes
been found very available in creating
new capital for large corporations. For
these securities may after a certain
specified time be converted, should the
owner of the securities wish to do that,
| into long time bonds issued by Great
britain and representing an obligation
| of that nation.
! The proposition as a whole is spoken OF
! here as the most encouraging of the
many suggestions and propositins which
have been made since the armistice was
signed. Furthermore it is regarded as
| especially satisfactory that this offering
is made at a time while the federal Sen
ate is considering the league of nations
