The Cockney version of war-a

season-perhsps of many seasons.
The sheer unconventionality OF

there is an unabashed amateur

its humor which carries is far. far

SUCCESSFUL DOLLARS

1t is the dollar that goes to work
that is the successful dollar. The
idle dollar is a failure. The success
full dollar brings back another dollar

something-two dollars and some
thing-a whole family Of dollars.
But the careless dollar goes of
somewhere and is never seen again.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS And STAMPS
Arc Ready to Protect Securities Of
Small Investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people of the United
States have done more than perform
a patriotic duty-they have invested
IN the soundest securities in the
world, gold obligations Of the Unit
ed States of America.
But the safeguarding Of these Sc
curities has become a problem for
many folk, Only a few persons, rel
atively, have either a safe in the
house or Office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank. Far 40
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house, in
the bureau drawer, under the mat
tress, or on the shelf And even if
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dan.
ger Of fire, and the loss of the money
invested.
There may be no further call for
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needs the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger of loss has deferred some peo-
pc from getting as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be future question as
well as a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifi-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number of his security have been
registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
sibly get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tificates may be registered through
the nearest postoffice; bonds through
the nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, of course,
ample and secure vaultA- For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
WILLINGNESS In keen thasa sacuyitiNA

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MADE HOME POSSIBLE
Man Who Suddenly Found Himself
Without Roof Over Head Was Able
to Buy Property.

This true story tells how War Saw
ings Stamps built a sure protection
around one Washington war worker
and his family.
Early in the war savings campaign
ne began a small systematic invest-
ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti-
mately grew until he had an invest
ment of 500. He says he acquired
his stamps without depriving him
self or family. The investment "just
grew" out of incidental savings.
Presently this incidental money
became scarce. The war worker and
his family felt the burden of the war
tine high cost of livia2, and the anx-
iety and expense of extraordinary i'll
ness Of the two children. Then an
other blow fell. He awoke one morn
ing to find that he had no place to
live.
His residence had been sold and
he and his family were asked to va
cate. He could find no houses for
rent within his means, and was con-
fronted with the necessity of leaving
the city or buying a home for his
family. He could not buy without
making a substantial initial pay
ment, and ready funds were SEEM
ingly beyond reach.
Then he thought of his War Saw
ings Stamps. He remembered they
were redeemable on ten days notice,
with accrued interest. With the pro-
ceeds of these stamps and such small
sums as he could gather he made
first payment on q new home in the
suburbs.
Recently he refused to sell it for
$1,000 more than the purchase price.
This man is a War Savings Stamp
enthusiast-and he is on the straight
road to financial independence.
