THE sANDAeED FINGER.

The young ribbon clerk had just
been married and didn't wish any of
her fellow clerks to know about it
until the end Of the week, at which
time she intended to resign from her
place. And again she did not wish
to remove the shining new band ring
from her finger, for you see she was
rather superstitious., She worried
and worried until her grandmother
came to her relief. "Why don't you
just tie that finger up for a while ?"
she said.
So straightway the finger was tied
up and for one week the secret was
kept intact, But after the discovery
in that store there was a declaration
among the girls that every bandaged
finger would have to be examined
before its owner would be permitted
to work in that store unmolested.

Vast Aid to Augmentation.

During the war ordeal millions Of
men, women and children born abroad
have stood staunchly by the United
States. Their hearts, their service
and their dollars proved their loyalty
again and again. While sentimental
sympathy attached them to the soil of
their nativity, they chung to the land
where they had found the liberty of
their dreams.
Another duty and another oppor
tunity has come to these foreign-born
loyal millions to help uphold the gov
eminent of freedom The War Saw
ings Stamp Campaign this year af-
fords a special chance for %reiteration
Of patriotic sacrifice and service.
The participation OF the foreign
born in the nation wide purchase Of
these stamps has a special signift
canoe. Naturally the native should aid
his government, but the same aid by
the foreign-born means a double de-
votion to the Stars and Stripes in
that it requires the alien to tear
asunder the lies that bind him to his
native soil.
The son OF alien birth, through the
strength Of every War Savings Stamp
purchased, becomes Just as much an
integral part Of the national fabric as
the son Of seven generations Of Amer
lean birth. He is woven into the ma
tional texture so closely and strongly
that the completed product of the pa
triot loom reveals not where the ma.
tive strand begins and the foreign
ends. Every War Savings Stamp in
the progress OF purchase is another
movement OF the governmental shut
tie in the hands OF the treasury weav-
or. Every alien-born who buys his
stamp is OF equal fabric strength to
his native-born brother.
The cost Of the new stamp ranges
from SAP in January to s4.23 in De-
cember. The Government promises
to pay IS for each stamp on January
/, 1924. This represents a return Of
4 per cent interest. compounded quar-
terly.
Governmental expenses and govern
mental obligations mount high even
though the clash OF arms has ceased
abroad. There is a tremendous out.
lay necessary for the transportation
Of hundreds of thousands OF troops
from France to the United States.
There are social and economic neces-
stiles at home requiring immense
sums. The sum to be raised from the
New War Stamp issue will be applied
toward meeting all these necessities

will give timely, loyal and efficient aid

ROSES AID SAVING HABIT.
Washington, o. c., Woman Cot Her
Inspiration From Flower In
Florists Window.

A unique plan to stimulate the habit
Of saving among his customers has
been devised and put into practice by
F. H. Kramer, a Washington florist.
For every Thrift Stamp purchased at
his shop he gives an American Beauty
rose, and for every War Savings Stamp
six roses are given.
ut is not onl- good advertising for
me, bu. 1t oftentimes marks the be-
ginning Of habits of saving in persons
who, heretofore. have never evinced
a desire to be thrifty" said the florist
Here is an example. A woman came
into my shop some time ago, She
saw the Governments War Savings
Stamp sign on the shop window.
Then she spotted my own sign offering
roses. She bought a Thrift Stamp and
received a rose. She placed the stamp
In the regulation folder. and since that
day she has visited the shop quite
regularly. She doesn't accept the rose
any more, but she insists that il was
my inducement that lead her to buy
Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Most
folks, after they buy one War Savings
Stamp or Thrift Stamp, are not con.
tent until they iii their certificates
That seems to be a trait OF human ma

ST. LOUIS SHOE MANUFACTURERS

THRIFT HABITS ENCOURAGED
u. s. Government Practically Offering
Preferred Stock in Biggest and
Safest Enterprise in World.

The head Of one Of the biggest and
most successful shoe manufacturing
companies in st. Louis, w. F. McEl-
roy, Of the McElroy-Sloan Company,
in a lengthy interview in a recent
number OF the Republic, talks inter
estingly on the relation of the en-
ployer to the employe.
Thrift is Encouraged" is one Of
the topics he discusses. The article
says the company encourages thrift
among its employees, and has adopted
a system Of selling stock to such Of
the clerical force and foremen and
superintendents in the factories as
desire to buy it. The stock is bought
on the market by the company and
is sold to the employees on the install
ment plan. The employee who pur-
chases stock under this plan begins
Immediately to receive the dividends
on stock, and these dividends may be
applied toward the payment for the
stock. With small. additional pay
ments at regular intervals, the en-
ploye soon is absolute owner OF the
stock. and thus shares in the man
agement to the extent Of the par value
of his or her stock"
The McElroy plan is splendid. But
only 900 persons are employed in this
plant, and participation is confined to
that number. But every man has an
opportunity to become a stockholGer,
with assurance of a fair dividend, in
the greatest going nee in the en-
tire world If he will grasp 1t.
The United States of America is a
going concern" You may buy stock,
in the form Of a War Savings Stamp,
and you will, just as certain as the
sur rises or sets, receive a dividend Of
AZ per cent per annum If you hold the
certificate until maturity.
Stock purchased In any enterprise
is more or less a hazard, But with
the United States Government, hazard
is eliminated. And on the stock you
buy you become a preferred stock.
holder. with AZ per cent absolutely
