ment from Washington that the
United States Employment Service
would withdraw its cooperation and

priation with which to further meet
the costs of this valuable function,

Savings deposits in 5S savings banks
in the state of Vermont showed
gain of more than 100000 in the
period from April Is to June 80, ac-
cording TO figures recently made pub
lie. Credit for the increase in savings
by the people of Vermont is given by
bankers and state officials to the edu.
cational work conducted by the gov
eminent in floating war loans.
Vermont is now congratulating her
population upon their habits Of thrift.
Going to the bank to buy Thrift and
War Savings stamps has been the
direct cause of many new savings &C

Now Vermont is getting ready to help
combat the high cost of living by urg-
ing more and more savings and great
er and more systematic investment

still offering the people-War Savings

old automobile license place. In Pet

Up to October 1, $4,000 owners had
bought license plates, and Secretary
of State joni L. Sullivan, had turned
into the treasury to the use of the
"Good Roads Fund" the sum of ST.

DUVALL'S MONEY DID
NOT CO UP IN SMOKE
He Set Aside His Cigar Appropriation
and Fund Now Approxmates
Three Thousand Dollars.

Too many persons know the power
of a bad habit. Also, too few know
the power of good habit. Here's
concrete example of the value of
turning a bad habit into a good one
When a boy was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. w. F. Duvall of Butler, Mo-, some
"a years ago, the fond father was
man who liked a good cigar time
or two a day. He was also one of the
oldfashioned fathers who liked to
fondle the children. He found that
babies and tobacco aroma didn't mix
to the benefit of the babies. So he
quit smoking.
That isn't all. Being of a sensible
mind, Mr.. Duyall decided to put away
his tobacco money at the rate of 10
cents per day so that the boy could
have it when he was grown. At the
end of each year there was $3.50 &C.
cumulated which Mr.. Duvall loaned
at per cent. Four years later an
other son was born and similar saw
ings account was begun for the Junior
Duvall.
A couple of months ago the elder Of
the Duvall sons returned from France.
He had learned to smoke-a habit
easily learned in army life. His faith
err, without criticizing his son for the
habit, took him into his office in the
Farmers Bank Of Bates County, of
which Mr.. Duvall is president, and
showed him the ledger carrying today
a balance of more than $1,000 to the
credit of the son and more than $4,000
for his younger brother, accrued from
the quitting of the smoking habit,
You can guess the rest. The next
cigars the elder son of the Duval fam
lily declined with thanks. 1--WE seen
in black and white the results Of fore
going a spending habit" he told the
boys "l'm OFF the smoking business
for good"
Quitting a useless habit and begin.
ming a useful habit, such as buying
War Savings Stamps, is the wisest
! turn q young man can make.

THE NEW PSALM OF LIFE
with Apologies to LonefelIow.)
BY r. N. Coglin.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
All the things you might have been;
Ventures past that were bad blunders,
Sped, in parting, the long green"
Life is real, life is earnest,
Idle living claims its toll;
Tickle fate may do her durndest,
If you've saved your little roll"
Not the money that we borrow,
Smooths the kinks on life's broad
way;
What's spent wrong starts Friend
Tomorrow
Looking scared at Rainy Day"
Save, invest, for Time is fleeing,
Lest waste-hypocrite and knavc-
With soft tread, muffled drums beat
ing,
Marches Success to her grave.
In the worlds great field Of battle,
Many soldiers lose good ground;
Listening to the schemes and prattle
of the con man" going round.
From the Futures lucky crescent,
Magic letters glow, bright red;
w. S. S.-They started Present
On the home run, Defeat fed. e.
Lives of great men all remind US
Worth means save while in our
prime;
Ger the limits that confined us,
With set purpose we mrst climb.
Pass the good word on, my brother,
TITS not hard to make it plain;
In the world there is no other
Investment that brings SURE gain.
Let us then be up and doing,
Swat the troubler who talks hate;
Start our coin Sans Bonds pursuing,
And don't wait till it's too late.
Moral: Buy War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
the worlds best investment.

Castor oil has proved to be the best
