More Interest.

The one million persons and
corporations ia the Sixth Fede-
raj Reserve District who bought
Third Liberty Loan Bonds will
have an opportunity of turning
interest into more interest on
September 18th. H. n. Skies
Postmaster of Starkville, Miss.
said to-day.
On that date the Government
Will make semi-annual pay yment
on the Third Liberty Loan
Bonds. amounting to the sum Of
S88, $50. 981 81. The Treasury
Department IS urging that bond
holders reinvest their interest in
Thrift and War Savings Stamps
and thus keep their dollars
working.
MAKING a wealth heap has
two processes--addltlon and mul.
tlpllcation."
Saving is additional dollar and
a dollar and a dollar. 1t comes
easier as one goes along but the
increase is no faster next year
than now.
When you set the dollar to
work that is multiplication.
Your pile grows slowly this year,
a little faster. still a little faster,
then faster and faster, until
interest outruns saving.
WAR Savings Stamps do more
than add dollar to dollar. They
begin to multiply. No better
Investment could be found for
your interest cupons. Remem-
ber this on Sept. 18TH"

Tom Moore, Saturday

Tom Moore makes his appearance as a
star in Goldwyn Pictures Saturday in GO
West. Young Man." by Willard Mack.
Chosen carefully to present him to his
admirers in new gulse, there seems little
doubt that he will surprise and please
them in the story of scion of wealth
who quarreIs with his father and starts
out to see the world. 1t is not from the
window of parlor car that Dick Latham
does this, but from the ''blind baggage"
of freight train in company with a
crowd of hoboes
In far Western town his real adven-
lures begin, however, the first of which is
when the office of sheriff is thrust upon
him by scheming politician who plans
to use Dick as tool to mask his own
nefarous doings. The actions of the ten
derfoot sheriff constitute the most anus
ing moments of go West, Young Man."
But Dick is as true to himself as he is
to the responsibilities of his new job and
when the time comes he refuses to heed
the warning sent him by one of the men
associated with his supposed patron. In
stead, Dick becomes a real reformer,
cleaning up the town, seeing to it that a
certain girl, whom he wins for his own, is
not done out of her property.
