r. 3. JONES, RECENTLY DIS
CHARGED, BECOMES ATHLETIC
DIRECTOR, RELIEVING JULIAN
OLSEN, RESIGNED.

F. B. Jones has been secured as the
physical director Of the local Y. NJ.
C. A, to succeed Julian Olsen who
resigned a short time ago to- accept
a similar position with the associa-
ton at Augusta, Ga.
Mr.. Jones for several years previous
to the war made his home in Pen
sacola. and only returned a few weeks
ago from active service overseas.
While in France he saw active service
on the Meuse-Argonne front. He was
in this sector at the time the armis-
tice was signed serving as top SER
geant.
He was born in hartford. Kent Coun-
ty, England 80 years ago and received
his education in the high schools of
that place. He came to the United
States in 1906 and has been active in
athletics of all kinds since that time.
He has been a member of the Y. NJ. c.
A. most of his life and has been a
member of some of the winning ath-
letic teams of the local association.
Mr. Jones was exempted from the
draft, but being true American he
applied to have his exemption can
! celled and enlisted as a private. In
his company he had charge of ath-
letics and in this he had valuable
experience for the work he is now to
take up. He is good baseball, volley
ball and basket ball player and also
also a boxing instructor. The asSo-
citation feels fortunate in securing the
services of Mr.. Jones at this time.
He will enter at once upon his duties.
and will be ready to make announce
ment within the next few days of his
schedule for classes and opening of
the fall work of his department.

RETURN OF THE DOLLAR.

If you spend a dollar today you lose
so cents on it. In spending 500 you
lose $50. A thousand spent today
shows a real loss of $500.
The same dollar put away for five
years will show a profit of 20 cents.
Your 500 will earn $40 for you. The
$1,000 will grow into $1,000, netting
you $500 profit without risk or effort
on your part.
Further and much more important
every one of these dollars should then
buy about twice as much as it will
now.
If you want to make a safe invest
ment that will net you real profit of
about 120 per cent in five years. or "a
per cent year. put every dollar you
can possibly spare into your savings
account or Liberty bonds.
The biggest mistake any of us can
make. says the Grand Rapids Press,

At present we are at the peak of a

There is but one way to relieve a
coal shortage and that is to dig and
ship coal. That IS what Kansas is do
ing. This action on the part of the
state. under the direction OF Governor
Allen, is not pleasing to Howat, dis
trict president of the miners union.
He prefers to let the people freeze.
He vigorously denounces the governor
for his efforts to protect the people
from suffering. But why doesn't he
jump on to the supreme court. 1t was

for sheriff of this county in 1893 have
not started their campaign yet. don't
suppose they are more than half a
dozen men in this town who knows
who the next sheriff is going TO be.
And the funny thing about it is they
don't seem to care. You go out on
and try to talk politics to somebody
and he thinks you're crazy. Or else
he thinks maybe you want to talk to
MIN about the situation in the Balkans
and he goes ahead and tell you what
Rumania ought to do, or maybe he is
