WOMAN FOLLOWS SAFE PLAN
Saves and Buys and Holds Her Invest
nnents--Estate Grows by Aceu-
muIatlng Safe Bonds.

This Is the story Of Miss Mary Il.
Hallam. who for forty-five years pre-
ceding her death worked in a Chicago
department store:
When Miss Hallam began to earn
her living she had the same Qualifca-
tions for success that everyone has
average health and average intelli-
gence.N Capital she had none. But
she had something else as good IL not
better-an appreciation Of the advan-
tages Of thrift and an answering am
bition to succeed.
Department-store salaries are not
generally regarded as the best stepping
stones toward prosperity. Yet Miss
Hallam prospered. She saved a, part
Of her wages each week and invested
them well. She never speculated. She
put her money only into such invest
ments as would yield sure interest
return. Upon her death she left an
estate valued at $4,000.
Had Miss Hallam. during the earlier
years of her progress toward pros
perity, had the advantage Of investing
In Liberty bonds, her pace would have
been still more rapid. In her younger
days there were no government bonds
available. In order to be sure that
her investments were safe she care
fully studied the investment field and
accepted a comparatively low rate Of
interest. But she succeeded In spite
Of that.
American men and women. starting
out today, have great advantage.
The war has for the first time since
1855 made government bonds Of the
United States available to the small
investor. Before 1917 the small gov
ernment issues were snapped up by
the banks for their own special uses.
But now Liberty bonds may be bought
by everyone and at higher rate of
interest than would ever have been
possible had 1t not been for the war.
The government soon will offer to
the people one more chance to partici-
pate In a great loan. BY that time
the nation will have contracted float
ing debt of more than $4,000, 900. 900.
which must be provided for.
Miss Hallam's story shows that any
body can save and accumulate. And
common sense shows that everybody
who is saving can find no investment
quite as good as Uncle Sans Victory
Liberty bonds.

come when all economic problems,

attention. There should be estab-
lished national agricultural policy
which would be controlled by men
who understand farming and not by
officials who only have theoretical
knowledge of the great subject. SEN
