brought about by one and the same
agency--the War Savings Campaign
There are hundreds of thousands OF
these societies over the United States.
People of all classes are members.
For the man of ample means the War
Savings Stamp offers an investment,
and he may buy up to $1,000 of the
1919 series. But it is to the masses
that this thing is most appealing.
The factory or farm worker, on
the smallest salary, may take advan-
tage of the plan. He may buy, a
Thrift Stamp for rs cents, and when
he has sixteen of them he may ex-
change them, by paying seventeen
cents additional, and receive a War.
Savings Stamp-a "Baby Bond
for $500, payable January /, 1924.
He may buy as many Thrift Stamps
or War Savings Stamps as he can, up
to 100000 and his money is as Sc
cure as the Government.

the money in circulation, guarantees

Saturday. Among those present were:
Frank Cunningham, president Citi-

Francis M. Curlee, E. H. Menoist and
other st. Louisans. The st. Louis
party is returning from a tour OF
levee- protected lands in Mississippi
Arkansas and Missouri. Caruthers
vile men were guests on part of the
trip.
The Houck monument fund will b
in charge of Cunningham, who will re
ceive all donations. Jones, Cunning
ham and Curlee made initial contri
buttons. The monument will be erect
ed in Charlottesville, the county sea
of Pemiscot county.
Houck is a pioneer railroad builder

BIG SHOE MANUFACTURERS
WANTS THRIFTY EMPLOYEES

The head of one of the biggest and
successful shoe manufacturing COM
panies in St. Louis, W. F. McElroy,
of the McElroy-Sloan Company, in
lengthy interview in a recent number
of the Republic, talks Interestingly on
the relation of the employer to the
Thrift is encouraged, is one of
the topics he discusses. The article
saws: "The company encourages
thrift among it's employees, and has
adopted a system of selling stock to
such of the clerical force and fore
men and superintendent in the fac
tories as desire to buy it. The stock
is bought on the market by the COM
panv, and is sold to the employees on
the installment plan. The employee
who purchases stock under this plan
begins Immediately to receive the DIV,
idends on his stock, and these diVi'
dends may be applied toward the pay
ment for the stock. With small ad'
ditional payments at regular inter
walls. the employee soon is absolute
owner of the stock, and thus shares II
the management to the extent OF thu
mar value of his or her stock"
Tic McElroy plan is splendid. Bu
only 900 persons are employed IN thi
plant, and participation is confined tt
that number. But every man has al
opportunity to become a stakeholder
with assurance of a fair dividend, IL
the greatest going concern in the en-
tire world if he will grasp it.

and materials. The farms fiourished
and the factories were busy.
Wages shot up and up, orders in
creased, raw material prices advanced
They crammed prosperity upon US.
The average man made money mighty
easily, compared with the effort he has
put forth in the past. We have been
accustomed to better than usual times
now for little more than four years.
There is no genuinely good reason
why these good times should not con-
tinue. But they won't if we short
sightedly fail to support the Govern
ment that is rying bring about their
continuance.
We have a far better opportunity
to keep going at the old pace than any
of our friends or our late enemies.
There is no reason for us to let the
bottom fall out of things. We are
too nearly out of the woods now to
permit that to happen.
Blu in order to make the most of the
opportunities it will be necessary for
us to make the most of the present
chance. Money is required to go on
with the ship building. We want the
ships to carry our meat and our grain
our lumber and our steel, our cotton
and our dairy products to foreign
countries. ,
The Victory Liberty Loan helped
Here were four and one-half billions
of dollars placed at the Governments
disposal. But this was exhausted by
Certificates of Indebtedness issued ii
advance Of the loan.
Secretary Glass and the Treasury
Department are doing some tall plan
ming these days to keep the smoke
going up the chimney. The Govern
ment still needs money, but it does no
need money so badly as the American
people need practical lessons in thrift
As planned, and as now being exc
cuted, these two things are being
