THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND
Diamonds? Why Not w. S. 81

Diamonds? Why Not w. S. S.?
Diamonds to the value of $2,O0O,OOO,-
OGO-more than half the available
world supply and value-are owned in
the United States of America.
Pretty things, diamonds, fascinating
to watch, pleasing to wear, of high
commercial value. Diamond prices
rise every now and again, truly, but
the rate of increase cannot be pre-
cisely calculated, and the risk of own
ing diamonds is large-unless they're
tucked away in the safety deposit
vaults where no one ever sees them.
Now $2,OOO,OO0,OOO invested in gov
eminent securities, War Savings
Stamps. for example, would mean
much better times for the country.
Why not, for the sweet girl graduate,
the bride, wife to be honored, War
Savings Stamps instead of a diamond?
Bright thought! The War Savings
Stamps now and the diamond five
years later-out of the War Savings
Stamps profits when they mature.

Hold On to Your Stamps.

DO not sell your War Savings
Stamps. The government borrowed
the money for specific purpose. If
the securities are not retained your
purchase will have been of no perma-
nent benefit to the government. The
men who buy and save, who follow
the principles OF thrift, are the people
who will shape the destiny of the
nation.
SAVING is THE QUICKEST

Patrons or the Oem IneaCre,
will welcome Dustin Farnum in
in his big United superfeature.
THE Light of the Western
Stars" which will be shown
here Saturday and Sunday.
This famous stage and screen
star will be seen as the wild,
but loveable Gene Stewart, ace
cowboy of the South Western
border. With Dustin Farnum's
virile, convincing talent and the
most thrillingly, fascinating of
Zane Grey's mastery stories the
picture teens with exciting in
terest. The plot deals with
the adventures which arise out
of Gene Stewards wild wager
that he would marry the first
girl who blew into the little
Western town. When he has
carried out his wager further
than he knew and the girl
proves to be the sister of the
rancher whose foreman Stewart
is, things happen quick, and the
audience swings between hope
and fear right up to the final
picture. In his staging of the
production Charles Swickard has
caught the authors wonderful
inspiration. The photography
is magnificently beautiful in
subject and in execution. Wini-
fred Kingston is a fascinating
leading woman ana the support
is excellent throughout.

The child's allowance, it may be
added, should be for necessities mainly,
with but a fair and modest margin for
personal luxuries and pleasures. 1t

mental securities. 1t should be care
fully adjusted, rigidly adhered to on
both sides of the bargain. Such re-
spect and observance not only will
teach the child good economic habits,
but will abolish many too frequent an
noyances for the financial head of the
family.
Each child given an allowance will
understand that this sum, with his
support and other parental provisions,
represents his fair share of the fam
fly income, and that, as a decent citi-
zen, he must not ask nor expect to ex-
coed it. An adequate allowance sys-
tenn, moreover, will obviate the evil
habit of crying or pleading for special
indulgences and more funds.

 Fred loved Maddie because. she was different from the girls he had known, different from one who had broken her engagement with him because she thought his money had slipped away from him. So, of course, he and Maddie were married, but instead of her dream of the jay city life coming true Fred took her to live in beautiful country home near his mother.
