WOMAN FOLLOWS SAFE PLAN
Saves and Buys and Holds Her Invest
ments-Estate Grows by Accu-
muIatino Safe Bonds.

This is the story of Miss Mary e.
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 qualinca-
lions for success that everyone has
average health and average lntelll-
gence. 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.
Departments 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 we'll. She never specialized. 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 a great advantage.
The war has for the first time since
1865 made government bonds of the
United States available to the small
investor Before 1917 the small gov
eminent 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 it 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.

TELLS Of THRILLS
WHEN SHELLS FLY
MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR
FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH
MANY TIMES WHILE sERv-
ING SOLDIERS.

Chicago.-More than TOO Y. M. g. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
of the American expeditionary force in
the front lines during the last months
Of the war.
Frank M. Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as 7. M. @. A.
worker In the Argonne, told Of some OF
his experiences in talk at the Y. M.
G. A. college here: ,...u
On the way to France last April on
the Oronzo, Van Epps and So other
"Y" men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-boat.
Van Epps was divisional secretary
Of the Y. M. G. A. outfit. He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed. He was dressed up In
a doughboy's uniform when he arrived
here. A limp and a kitbag slung over
his shoulder containing what Is left of
his equipment complete his couvenirs
of more than six months service over
seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
in France and Alsace, serving in the
flrst-line trenches on two Of them.
When the Oronzo was torpedoed on
April % 60 miles off the coast of
Wales U-boats "got" two out of con-
voy of seven steamships. The Oronzo
went down in IL minutes after she was
struck. and Van Epps and other ~"
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by q torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at HOllyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the first-line trenches and
at st. Mihiel, when the drive opened,
he became a stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the Argonne, he Travelled all
night by train, on trucks and afoot
and spent the next three weeks sleep
ing in shell holes and trenches when
he was not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October ID,
Van Epps and Thomas F. Hadley Of
Iowa, another Y. M. G. A. man, set up
shop in an old barn. All but three Of
the twenty-five ~" workers went back
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days. but
Van Epps and Hadley decided it was
good enough to sleep in. They built
q bed of boxes of jam, with tub Of
chewing tobacco for a pillow and lay
down. .~-... .rEs
Half a mile back, an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side of
the barn. Soon came third, which
struck the roof. bringing down mass
of rafters and beams and scattering
shrapnel. A splinter was driven
through the calf of one of Hadley's
legs and piece of shell tore through
both Of Van Epps' thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitfalls had finished with them they
spent half a day in an ambulance and
then were put aboard a French hos
pital train, where they remained an
other two days. One of these days was
Sunday, so Van Epps, at the sugges-
ton of some Of the doughbOys, put
on" a service, conducting it propped
up in his Stretcher.

LAST THOUGHTS
OF ROOSEVELT
Desired Republicans to Close

to Domestic Issues.
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF WISH.
Colonel Harvey In North American Re-

Theodore Roosevelt's last thoughts
were Of the great domestic issues OF
his country, issues whose determine

next generation. He saw In a united
Republican party, just given a vote OF
confidence and commission to formu-
late and carry into action policies OF

Hours Before He Died.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
Of this interesting document which car
ries message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh." In the leading
article of the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import of this
last penciled notation of Mr.. ROOse-
welt. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl-
edged leader of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
ton as Chairman of the National or
ganization he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above in
facsimile:
"'Hays s.s.
see him; he must 90 to Washington
for 10 days; see Senate, and House;
prevent split ON domestic policies
"Here is evidenced as clearly as If the
few words filed volume Mr.. Roose-
velt's realization Of both his response
bility and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the Inauguration
of definite party policy, to be carried
through to a no less definite conclusion.
It was more than passing thought or
q mere suggestion. 1t was Message,
signifying the need Of immediate and
unremitting vigilance in achieving
complete unity of action in resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those of wider range soon to be thrust
upon the country-a true soldiers call
first to close the ranks.
"Nothing could be more characters
tic or more clearly illustrative of the
breadth of vision, the foresight, the
dlrectness in method and the painstak.
ing attention of the man. Nothing.
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
it is to reconcile oneself to the decree
of Divine Providence that the re-
moval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimely, we cans
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestlge Of animosities which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he so
ardently desired against all things un-
American was attained.
''Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full legislative authority
thoroughly united and invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which SO often
carried it to victory In former years. "

especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:
