woodland by removing the poorer, less
valuable trees, leaving the better ones
to grow. Many farmers who have
never before given this subject a
thought are taking real interest,
because they see how quickly nature
responds in better growth when given
a little guidance and aid.
The kinds of material to be re-
moved for firewood include trees I'M
suitable for lumber, crooked trees
crowding out straight ones, badly dis.
eased and decaying trees, small trees
overtopped and stunted by larger and
better ones, dead trees that are mostly
sound, tree tops left from former cut
tings, and trees of the less valuable
kinds where others of greater value
are present which need the room and
will prove faster money-making trees.
Handling farm woodlands rightly is
an indispensable part of profitable
farm management.
If lists of manufacturers or other
information are desired regarding
portable wood-sawing outfits, and

partment of agriculture will be glad to

practice of many growers to disk after

disks set nearly straight.
PIow Up Alfalfa Sod.
The best plan, where the alfalfa sod
is beginning to show the rayages Of
wear, is to pillow up the field and de-
vote it to some cultivated crop, such
as corn, for one or two years, and then
to reseed it to alfalfa after preparing
a proper seed bed, lining the soil if
necessary, properly inoculating the
coil or seed, and sowing the seed early
enough in the fall so that the crop
will establish vigorous root system
and produce sufficient growth to wealth
er the winter successfully.

SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Thrifty Citlzon Who Wishes to
Lay Aside Part OF Earnings.

This is the day of the small inves-
tor. The war opened the eyes Of some
50,000,000 Americans to the benefits
of investing in government securities;
it minimized to the same extent the
menace OF fraudulent promotions In
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are max
ing investing safe for the small saver.
Every small investor should realize
that dollar saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much OF almost any
other commodity within four or five
years, so that in addition to the in
forest that War Savings OF other gov
eminent securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw
Ing. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are i'm
pressive.

The War Loan Organization of the

Thrift in the Schools" contains
fascinating suggestions for the teach
ing of thrift to the little ones at the

older children there are many other
ways Of bringing the lesson home.
Geography, hygiene. English reading

OF thrift
The summary of the aims of the

standing of the apecifc facts and
underlying principles OF thrift.
.. To train the child in the habits
OF conservation and the wise use OF
all his resources.
3. To create through the schools
public sentiment in favor OF thrift and

it is the dollar that goes to work
that is the successful dollar. The
idle dollar is failure. The success
full dollar brings back another dollar

But the careless dollar goes of

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Are Ready to Protect Securities OF
Small investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

in buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people of the United
states have done more than perform
patriotic duty-thcy have invested
in the soundcst securities in the
world, gold obligations of the Unit
cd States of America.
But the safeguarding of these So
curitics has become problem for
many folk. Only few persons, rel
atirely, have either safe in the
house or office, or safc-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank Far :, o
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house. in
the bureau drawer, under the mat
ircss, or OH the shelf And even if
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dan
ger of fire, and the loss of tie money
INV ested.
There may be no further call FOR
the people 1T large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
mcnt needs the daily and weekly
sums which come i'll from the sale
IF Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger of less has deferred some neo-
pc from EettiT::: as ninny stamps Ms
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be a future question as
well as present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifi-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number OF his security have been
Registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
sihlv yet the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for Ger
j:t!carc': may be registered through
Tie nearest posto.fice bonds through
elc nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
tanks themselves. Every bank-na,
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
yi:o does not feel that he can afford
10 rent q safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
Willingness to keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.

For the sad old earth must borrow

But has trouble enough of its

But shrink from voicing care.

They want full measure of all YOUR

But alone you must drink lifc's

Feast, and your halls are crowded
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you
