THE FIRST THOUSAND DOLLARS
With Tina. Amount Saved For a lest
Egg Nothing Is Impossible For
Young Man.

When man gets $1,000 saved Up
there are always opportunities for
good investment. 1t is hard to place
much less than that. That is why
wealthy men who are seIf-made advise
young men to begin early and save
the first thousand.
Until we went to war, In order to
get $1,000 together one had to go to
the bank and put away little each
month or each week, or tuck part OF
his salary away in an old sock. 1t
was troublesome to go to the bank and
the sock was too handy.
Now, however, there is an easy way
to get that first thousand. The answer
is War Savings Stamps. In them the
government of the United States back
ing those stamps with a guarantee OF
4 per cent interest, compounded quar-
terly, opens the way One can begin
with two bits"

FERTILIZERS SOLD IN
MISSOURI IN 1918

The sale of fertilizer in the State of
Missouri amounted approximately to
10000 tons during 1918. This is 25,-
900 tons more than was reached in
1917, the year with the next highest
total. This enormous sale was due
primarily to the increased acreage
sown to wheat last year. While this
years sales may not reach the high
total of last year it still promises to
be large. Users of fertilizer are in
creasing in number every year, and
its value has been demonstrated as a
business proposition to those who have
used it in the past.
The report of the chemist shows
that of all the 524 analyses of plant
food made that 81 per cent of these
were deficient as compared with the
manufacturing guarantee. This is a
poorer showing than for the two years
previous but somewhat better re-
port than was shown for 1915. An
Improvement of these conditions is to
be expected for the present year as
the industry will doubtless return to
normal peace conditions. However
for all fertilizers sold in the State dur
ing 1918, it is shown that they con-
tanned on the average $1.07 worth
more of plant food than they were
guaranteed to contain.
A full report of these matters and
the analyses of fertilizers from each
company is contained in Bulletin 100
of the Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

HOW ROBINSON cRUsoE SAVED.
DeFoe's Hero, Beloved of All Boys,
Learned Thrift on Lonely Island
and Is an Example.

Robinson Crusoe. in the story,
found a few grains of seed that had
escaped ruin in the wreck.
He hankered for a sup of porridge,
but he put off the indulgence and
planted the seed.
At the years end he had enough to
make handful Of cakes that he
craved. But he put off the indulgence
and planted again.
At the second years end he had
enough to enjoy and still plenty for
seed.
Once he got ahead of his needs,
there was no limit to what he could
raise.
Every man who has his way to
make, Is living on a Crusoe's Island
He can eat his seed in one mouthful
or save it and have all he wants.
Once he gets ahead of his needs, the
returns come faster and faster. Wait,
ing Tor harvest is tedious. But II
pays.

LAUNCHING ANOTHER
INTERNATIONAL SHOW

The Chicago Board of Trade, de-
string to stimulate and improve grain
and forage production, offers $4,000
in premiums to exhibitors of grains
and hay at the international Live
Stock Exposition of Chicago, during
the first week in December.
The management of this Exposition
promises to stage Show Of Grains
and Forage which will in all respects
be on a par with the wonderful ex-
hibits of live stock annually assemb-
led at this, "The Worlds Greatest
Live Stock Show"
BY having these powerful influences
cooperate, an exhibition of grains
and forage may be looked for, the
equal of which has never been seen
anywhere.

PRACTICE THRIFT.
GEORGE SISLER PRESIDENT
Manager Jimmy Burke Backs Govern
ment and Agrees to Buy $1,000
W. s. s. In 1918.

The st. Louis Browns, who are now
hustling in the race for the American
League pennant, have organized War
Savings Society and they are the first
aggregation of ball tosscrs in the
United States to effect such an or
ganziation.
George Sisler, who, when he entered
the big league few years ago, was
heralded as the legitimate successor
to 1'y Cobb, and who Is now battling
with that athlete for the honors, Is
the president of the new society.
Jimmy Austin, than whom there is
no better third baseman in any league,
and who is popular favorite with the
fans and players, was unanimously
elected secretary and treasurer.
Manager Jimmy Burke. who is elat.
ed over the teams showing in the pen
nant race, was one Of the first men,
bers OF the aggregation to affix his
name to a pledge card and he said he
was going to be the owner of $1,000
bond before the first Of January rolled
around
George Sisler pledged himself to
buy 800 each month and each mem
Der of the team signed the pledge card
and is enthusiastic over the plan to
help the government in its efforts to
inculcate the habits OF thrift among
! the people. Sisler IS student of f.
nance as well as being one of the
fastest and cleverest ball tossers that
ever donned the spGngles and he had
made a study Of the thrift plan even
before 1t was to planned organize the
Browns.
He made a talk to his fellow ball
tossers and explained the method
and the advantages Of systematic saw
ing. He told how the War Savings
Stamps bore interest at the rate OF
per cent, compounded quarterly, ant
how, IL it was absolutely necessary
the stamps could be redeemed not only
without any loss to the investor, bu
that each stamp would increase il
value one cent each month and tina
they could be redeemed simply oil
giving ten days notice.

turn.
There is q remedy for almost

Peruna to be that remedy as did
Miss Clara Lohr Of 81 N. Gold St,
Grand Rapids, Michigan. She writes
a friend: II don't need Peruna any
more. 1 am all well after taking
six bottles. I weighed ninety
pounds before I started and was
poor and weakly. I had such
a cough and splitting all the time
that / never expected to recover.
My friends gave me up. 1 could eat
nothing. Now I can eat and weigh
1856 pounds. I most thankfully rec

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought of
it. but this disorder is due to lack of
moisture in the residual matter Of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them trial.
Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)
