SMALL SAVING, MADE THROUGH WAR SAVINGS STAMPS, WAS
 START OF FUND.
HOUSE SOLD OVER HEAD
Now Owns Home and 1t Is Worth Considerably More Than He Had Contracted to
 Pay For 1t.

This true story tells how War Say ings Stamps built a sure protection around one Washington war worker and his family.
 Early in the War Savings campaign he began a smaI systematic invest ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti- mately grew until he had an invest ment of $100 He says he acquired his stamps without depriving himself or family. The investment just grew" out of incidental savings.
 Presently this incidental money be- came scarce. The war worker and his family felt the burden of the war time high cost of living, and the anx- iety and expense of extraordinary ill., ness of the two children. Then an other blow fell. He awoke one morn ing to find that he had no place to live.
 His residence had been sold and he and his family were asked to vacate. He could find no houses for rent with in his means, and was confronted with the necessity of leaving the city or buying a home for his family. He could not buy without making a sub stantial initial payment, and ready funds were seemingly beyond reach.
 Then he thought of his War Say ings Stamps. He remembered they were redeemable on ten days notice, with accrued interest. With the pro- ceeds of these stamps and such small sums as he could gather he made fire payment on a new home in the sub urbs. Recently he refused to sell it for $1,200 more than the purchase price.
 This man is a War Savings Stamp enthusiast-andh he is on the straight road to financial independence.

John Wanamaker says: No boy ever became a great man who did not, in his youth, learn to save money.
 Have you ever considered that if you are spending all of your money as il comes to you, week by week or month by month, you are working in a treadmill? At the end of the year you are no nearer the end of your am- bitions than you were at the begin ming.

AMERICA WILL
Be DOMINANT
POWER ON SEA

q +
Wilmington, \. c.. August Sec
rotary Daniels. in an address at
Wrightsville Beach, today, declared
that the United States is on the high
road to becoming the dominant mari
time nation of the world and that
never again will American made goods
be carried. to the ports of world in
foreign owned bottoms. He spoke TO
members of the North Carolina Press
association in annual session in con-
nection with the launching of the con-
crete vessel, Cape Fear built at a
local shipyard
To-day as never before the American
people realize the real meaning of sea
power" said Mr.. Daniels. .'The war
brought US to a realization of our
weakness on the sea. and never again
will we be in the humiliating position in
which we found ourselves in 1917
I'VE will build a merchant marine
which shall carry our commerce to
the ends of the earth: which shall once
more place our flag in all the sea lanes
of trade; which shall carry American
made goods, in American built bot
toms; manned by American sailors. We
will see to it that heritage of the last
country is not cast aside. We will
never again PERMIT the lrduo Oh THIS
nation to pass into the hands of 9TH
ers."
Mr.. Daniels pointed to the production
of ships in the United States during
the war as an evidence that the ma
TONS shipbuilders have not lost their
old time skill and said that while
the United States will continue to
build ships and still more ships, the
builders would take the time to place
these ships in the lead in economy of
operation, speed and cargo carrying
capacity.
Mr.. Daniels sketched the rapid rise
of the American merchant marine dur
ing the last century through the days
of the famous clipper ships up to 1855
when over 70 per cent of American
export goods was carried in American
ships. He then outlined the causes
leading to the decline of the merchant
marine to 1910 when the American flag
had practically disappeared from the
seas and only ten per cent of Ameri-
cas- export trade was carried in Amer
lean ships. He said the United States
would profit by the mistakes that
cost the nation its merchant marine
and that with plenty of ships, ade-
quate facilities for building more ships.
tremendous quantities of export goods
to carry numbers of American boys
eager to go to sea, the United States
would assume her old time command
ing position in the merchant marine
circles of the world.

ing Sailing Orders to Send
Him Home

Information received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph H. Weeks, former Pull
man residents now located at Car
ter, Montana, indicates that their
son, Vern ID. Weeks, was awaiting
orders to board ship for home when
he was stricken with bronchial
pneumonia, which claimed his life.
The young man was well known in
Pullman and his many friends were
shocked to hear of his death. He
attended the Pullman high school
and later the State College, being a
student of that institution in 1914
| and 1915, before his parents had re-
moved to Carter. The diary kept
by Weeks while in service has been
sent to the parents, the entries for
the few days preceding his fatal ILL
ness being as follows:

from home and one from w. S. G.

The following account of the un-
timely death of the young man was
published in the Carter Herald.
One more gold star will be added
to the service flag of Carter. Mr..
and Mrs. ]. II. Weeks received word
last Thursday from Washington. d.

France, February ;, of bronchial
pneumonia.

1918, in the Argonne forest battle
and since that time had been in hos

The last letter the parents re-
ceived from Vern was dated January
Is and stated that he expected to
start home almost any day, although
his lungs were still a little sore. A
letter dated January 28, received
later from his brother, Paul, who is
an inferno in hospital at Bor-
deauX, stating he had received let
ter from Vern a day or two before
and that he would start for home
very shortly and hoped to be able to
visit Paul on his way to the coast.
The death of Vern has brought
the horror of war home not only to
his bereaved family but to the entire
community Vern was a young man

and ideals, and held in the highest

Miss Maycliffe's life before that had
passed almost entirely on her fathers and
grandfather's ranches in Texas and Okla
homa. From there she made a rather
sudden jump to the metropolitan stage.
After her first marriage the Princess
came back to America in 1914 to attend
to some affairs on her ranch, while the
Prince remained behind to look after
equally urgent duties of his own. With
the immense territory between Portugal
and FL Paso to cover the young pair could
not spend much time together during their
first year of married life.
AS most people know, Portugal has been
in a state of tumult for years. The old
reigning family of BraganZa was exiled
years ago by a revolution. The heir or
this family married an American heiress,
Anita Stewart Then King ManuePs fam
lily occupied the throne. His father and
older brother were assassinated and he
became king. Then in two short years a
revolution drove him from the throne and
a republic was established.
Since that time there have been many
commissions in the little country. Portugal
entered the European war and suffered
severely. One republican movement upset
the republican government by a violent
revolution.
