HOT WEATHER SWINDLING

When days grow hot
As these are now,
And thoughts do not
Infest my brow,
When work becomes
A grind, and |
Just twirl my thumbs
And sit and sigh
And dream of scenes
Where rich men play
Meath shady greens
BY lake or bay.
While | must face
The column still,
The stretch of space
That / must fill,
Then / resort
To artifice
And cut it short
With stuff like this.

HAVE YOU GOT MONEY?

He's got money.
How familiar is that phrase. and
what a lot of meaning it conveys!
1t expresses a certain admiration,
though the tribute may be reluctant
ly bestowed.
From the viewpoint of anybody who
spends his earnings as fast as he
gets them, the person who has
money stands on different plane.
altogether superior to the ordinary |
run of folks. He Tor she) by the
mere fact inspires respect.
Everybody looks upon capital with
respect that is extended to its pos
SCISSOR. Though 1t be small, its pos
SCISSOR is the subject Of thought by
those who have laid themselves aside
nothing.
If you have a little money. nobody
can bully you. On the other hand,
ii you have none, you are helpless and
do not dare to speak up for your
rights.
1t is not agreeable to be at any
body's mercy. Nay, more. 1t is ratE-
er dreadful. If there were no other
motive for saving, the wish to escape
from such a situation ought to be
sufficient.
without money, one is necessarily
at other peoples mercy. There is
no escaping that proposition.
Obviously, then, the ordinarily
commensurate person ought TO have
the "gumption" to start in. as early
in life as possible, to put pennies and
dimes together and create little
capital.
The little capital thus created will
mean independence perhaps the most
precious and worthwhile thing in
life.
So much for the thing that ought tc
be done, if one would achieve bappi-
ness. But how about the way to dc
it?
There are many ways. But un
Goubtedly the best and safest way tt
begin is to buy the Thrift Stamps anc
War Savings Stamps which the gov
eminent now offers for sale at al
postoffices. banks, etc. They may b
obtained from letter carrier in citiei
and on rural routes. Thousands Q
stores and factories sell them.
War Savings Stamps are interest
bearing securities behind which stant
the whole credit of the United States
In effect. they are bonds in miniature
To buy them is to insure your fu
ture comfort and prosperity.

PROPOSAL. MEETS
WITH APPROVAL
Many More Support the Memoir
ial Project.
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
l have read with much pleasure
the proposal that a memorial be
erected to the boys of Garrett county
in appreciation of their services in
the World War, and as a means of
preserving a record of such services,
and it is extremely gratifying that
the responses of the people are COM
ing in support of the proposition. I
have always retained my citizenship
in Garrett county, for it is home to
me, and l want to be identified with
any movement looking to it's welfare
and the progress of its people, and /
appreciate an opportunity of joining
with our people in giving concrete
expression Of! gratitude to the boys
Of the county for their sacrifices for
home and country. -~a- -
Let the good work go on until all
the people are identified with the
movement; let everybody help and !
feel that nobody will refuse sto aid
in the work, and when the funds are
in hand, build the memorial and ded-
icte it to its intended purposes, and it
will stand for all time, silent testi-
monial of the love Of the people for
the boys of Garrett county who aided
in overthrowing autocracy and Civ
| ing liberty to the World.
Sincerely yours,
N. U. BOND.
