ELECTRICITY WILL BE MANI GREATEST
 AID FUR ALL TIME

The electrical household appliance is at the threshold of a growth so great as to literally stagger the i'm agination.
 Yet this fact is not realized by those who are arctually in this line of busi- ness, the very ones who will reap the profits of such a situation. To get complete grasp of what lies 1 ahead in the electrical household ap- pliances field it is necessary to con- slider three phases. 1. The place that electricity occu- pies in relation to every business of living condition.
 2. The place that electrical appn- | anoes occupy in relation to the use of electricity for every purpose
 3. The place that the home occu- | pies in relation to the use of electricity and electrical appliances.
 Electricity is the greatest power for mans aid discovered since the world began. The harnessing of this mar vicious force to every conceivable use has transformed life and living con ditions throughout the world.
 No other single thing, possibly all other discoveries put together, equals
 in importance the use of electricity Vast as has been the development il
 the field of electricity in the past, i is dwarfed to insignificance by th' development which immediate futur' holds

SAID EVERY SOLDIER
KEPT TRENCH SHOVEL
Engineer After Viewing Battlefield
Makes Interesting Commentary
Gould Find Everything
But One Trophy He
Wanted.

An eminent engineer recently re-
turned to Washington after traversing
on government business much Of the
western front. He went over the bat
tie area before the army salvage corps
had removed the signs of conflict
Il saw pretty nearly everything
there" he said Lots Of rifles. bayo-
nets. machine guns. helmets. soldiers
packs. water bottles, and even hand
kerchiefs and socks all over the
ground.
Il didn't want any Of them. Be-
cause I'm an engineer, Id set my
heart on trench shovel. Id seen
thousands of them back OF the lines,
but l wanted one from the battlefield.
I looked and looked. without finding
one lying around loose. Wherever
there was a shovel, the man who'd
used II was lying beside it.
Then / understood. The soldier,
dislodged from a position, might loose
his pack. his extra clothing. even his
rife. in his escape, but he never let
90 his shovel.
"He knew he had to have 1t, to dig
himself in again"
War Savings Stamps are trench
shovels for digging in against adver-
sity.

SOLVING WAR PROBLEMS
TAUGHT PEOPLE THRIFT
Gained Through Lesson Of Saw
ing Learned Last Year.

Fellowship in the fastest growing
socisty In the United States is open
TO everybody. In every state in the
union it is gaining members daily,
since 1t Is a society In which the good
Of the country is served as we'll as
that of the individual.
From all walks Of life its millions OF
ever increasing members come. No
one can be a member and keep the
pledge he takes without receiving
lasting benefits and aiding the United
States OF America to maintain the
proud place it has already attained
the peer Of any nation that has ever
existed. ~
When the treasury department Of
the United States began the attempt
TO solve the financial problems that be-
set the country al It was entering the
war, the United States was debtor
nation. Only on understanding that
it is the greatest creditor nation in
the world today can one realize what
m achievement has been won. With
out q direct tax on the people money
has been raised to pay for the sue
cessful termination Of the war, and
this cost more than 10000, 900. 900:
Beside this enormous amount OF
money there Is now more money in
the banks than before.
This, Of course. was done through
the Liberty Loans, principally. But
these loans have ceased, and those at
the head Of the nations finances are
seeking to clinch the lesson already
lsarnsd, and are urging the perma-
nent establishment Of War Savings
Societies.
The Treasury Department is doing
4 service for the small investor in ac-
eepting so small an amount-as twenty
FIVE cents and giving the same Securi-
ty that the holder OF $4,000 Liberty
Bond enjoys-the entire resources OF
the United States Of America. Could
anything be more safe?
