When you hear him shriekng. ITO who2 To who"

THE FUN OF SAVING MONEY.

The fun of saving money! Best fun
in the world, once you get started.
Great game, isn't it, where every play
err wins, always, and no one could pos
sibly lose.
What's the fun consist of? What
constitutes the fun Of any good game?
The planning, the struggle, the con-
test; the spirit of competition, emula-
ton, excitement; the rush, the climax,
the triumph Of making goal.
What's the cost, the price of admis-
sion? Just the cost of any good game ;
time, energy, the letting go of nones-
sentials for the JOY of realized am
bition and success
What's the reward? The game and
its gaining The bliss of fighting,
climbing fighting and climbing to win
What's the method? Begin and keep
going. Make a start, set a goal and
attain 1t. Start again and make the
same goal in shorter period. Set a
new and sterner goal and time limit
and beat the record again.
Uncle Sam can't be beat as a part
ner, game credits foot up before you
know 1t, and it doesn't cost much tt

"A Business Proposition
BY WILL PAYNE.

Secretary Glass said the Victory Lib
erty Loan should appeal to the patri-
otism of the people Of the United
States and not be merely business
proposition.
Isn't that so? It was no business
proposition that sent two million young
Americans to France and made nearly
two million more give up their time for
more than a year to train for going.
This Victory Loan is to pay for equip
ping them, sending them over, keeping
them there and fetching them back
VIII you look one of them in the face
and say, "As soon as you stopped fight
ing and had given you three hearty
cheers you became just a business
propositions"
But the loan is business PROPOSE
ton, too-this way:
You are Uncle Sanl-a hundred odd
million Of you, individually. Says
Uncle Sam to himself, 81 owe several
million dollars-oAve it now on due and
maturing obligations that must be met
to the last cent. My credit is prac-
tically unlimited. can borrow that
money of the banks. They've got to
lend it to me. That will mean huge
imitation of bank credit-bank loans
all swollen up with my paper-banks
consequently in poorer condition to
take care of the ordinary business of
the country.
But if | do borrow the money of the
banks I've got to pay them back some
time. There are only two ways in
which man can finally get out of
debt. One way is to sell some prop.
earn more than he spends, saving the
difference. | have no property to sell
Can't sell the White House or the ma
tional forests. The second way is the
only way for me. "Shall l borrow the
money from the banks now and there
by put off the real settlement, or shall
q hundred million individual Uncl,
Sans right now save out of their in
comes and lend the saving to the col
lective Uncle Sam, thereby enablin,
him to pay the bills and wipe the slate
with no imitation, leaving the banks il
sound condition to meet the needs o
ordinary business?"
That is the question. 1t is your debt
You owe the money. Finally you'v
got to pay 1t in some fashion. To len
in on the banks now Is the most eS
pensive way temporarily to dispos
of 1t. TO save, individually, is tn
best and cheapest way. Even waivin
patriotism, it comes down to a bus
ness proposition. Only the saving
and subscriptions of the whole publ
can take care of the loan without ii
flation.

VICTORY LOAN AN APPEAL
TO OUR BUSINESS SENSE
AS Business Proposition No Man
Can Afford Not to Subscribe to
Full Limit Of His Ability.
BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author Of MTarzan Of the Apes"

BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author Of "Tarzan Of the Apes"
There are an infinite number of ex.
cellent reasons why we should sup
port the Victory Liberty Loan.
The finest sentiments we possess
must prompt us to subscribe to this |
loan even more freely than we did to
the others. The government must get |
money or it would not ask us for it.
The man who was prompted to lend in
the past through fear that IL he did
not the Germans might get over here
and make it unpleasant for him Is
mighty yellow" If he will not sub
scribe, now that the danger is past.
Our response to previous loans indi
Gated that we were thoroughly in ac-
cord with the principles for which we
We're fighting, and by our response we
authorized the expenditure of the
sums necessary properly to prosecute
the war. These enormous expenses
must continue for some time. The OBJ
legations involved must not be repu-
dated They are our obligations as
individuals and we must look upon
them as such. It Is not only matter
Of necessity; it Is matter of per-
sonal honor for us to meet these OBJ
| legations promptly and gladly.
On the other hand, there is in the
4 Victory loan an appeal to our business
sense as well as to our patriotism.
There is the appeal to sef-interest, for
| the loan is not to be without profit to
4 us. We are given an opportunity to
| invest in an absolutely safe security,
and we will receive good rate of in
terest. AS a business proposition no
man can afford not to subscribe to the
full limit of his ability.
And there is another reason why we
should subscribe every cent that we
can rake and scrape together. 1t Is
this: If the government cannot raise
the necessary funds by the sale of
Liberty bonds, 1t must do it by direct
taxation. The government has the
power to tax us to meet these obliga-
tons, and If we are taxed We not only
will get no interest but we will never
get the principal back again.
1t seems to me that both the wisdom
and necessity for fully and immedi-
ately subscribing this Fifth Liberty
Loan must be obvious to anyone whose
mentality is greater than that Of a
child of ten. We are supposed to be
an intelligent people, capable of gov
erning ourselves and others. We pride
ourselves upon our business acumen
upon our energy and upon our patri
otism. In the Victory Liberty Loar
we shall have an opportunity to prove
to the world that we are better thar
vain Boosters, and that we are full,
deserving of the estimate which VIZ
have placed upon ourselves as people
The time is here. The opportunit.
is here. The eyes of the world ar,
: upon us-upon you. What the VOL,
, shall think of us depends not upon tn
action of others but upon what yol
do-YOU.
