SUCCESSFUL DOLLARS

But the careless dollar goes of

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS And STAMPS
Are Ready to Protect Securities Of
Small Investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people of the United
States have done more than perform
a patriotic duty-they have invested
in the soundest securities in the
world, gold obligations Of the Unit
ed States Of America.
But the safeguarding Of these So
curities has become problem for
many folk. Only few persons, rel
atively, have either a safe in the
house or office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults Of the bank. Far 10
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house, In
the bureau drawer, under the mat
tress, or on the shelf. And even If
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there Is the ever present dam
ger Of fire, and the loss Of the money
invested.
There may be no further call Cor
the people at large to subscribe 20
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needs the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger Of loss has deferred some peo-
pc from getting as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be future question az
we'll as q present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifi-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number of his security have been
registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
sibly get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tifeates may be registered through
the nearest postoffics; bonds through
the nearest bank.
And the second method Tor safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, Of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent a safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many Of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness to keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.

REMEMBER THE ANT
Save and have!

Remember the story OF the
ant and the grasshopper? The
ant worked and saved. The end
of each day found him with a
little more added to what he
had the day before. The grass
hopper danced and sang and
fiddled his time away. Winter
came; the ant had plenty. The
grasshopper had nothing; he
had not saved. He went to the
ant and asked for help. Said
the ant: "While 1 worked, you
fooled your time away. You
can dance now for all care"
Are you an ant-person or a
grasshopper : person? Some
time are you going to have to
ask for help and will someone
tell yoa to dance; or will you
be independent?

Equality of Opportunity,

It is the pride of every American

Where Wives Arc Cheap.

What is the market in wives? 1t is
said that among the Anus the price
of one is a bear ham. The Kaffir fig
ure varies from four to eight oxen,
according to the competition for the
particular bride.
A score of cartridges buys wife
in Uganda, and the Australian black
gives the weight Of his better half In

estan get as many wives as they want

WORTH A PLACE IN MEMORY
Commonplace Jingle Carries a Sentl-
ment to Which More OF Us
Should Subscribe.

Every once in awhile someone with
a genius for rhymes jingles a great
big chunk of truth into verse. These
are the unknown and perhaps uncon-
scious poets. You see their outpour-
ings on picture post cards, scrubbed on
dead walls and in other unlocked for
and wholly unexpected places.
A friend sends US one of these wan
dering vagaries, and we have so much
enjoyed reading 1t that we herewith
pass it on to you. 1t runneth thus:
LET the howlers howl,
And the GROWERS growl,
And the providers prowl,
And the gee-gaws go it.
Behind the night
There is plenty of light,
And things are all right,
And-I KNOW IT."
One hundred rhymes Of this nature
put into q book would constitute far
greater and an infinitely more impor-
tant philosophy than Plato's or Emer-
sons or any other produced by either
ancient or modern sages.
In the eight lines Of that crude and
homely Jingle here reproduced there Is
all the philosophy that any man needs.
1t is declaration of faith. 1t is pro-
found expression of belief in the good
ness and the wisdom Of God.

rhyme please accept our very great
thanks?-Los Angeles Times.

through the deal, but it was by no
means certainty.
Back of this seemingly suicidal pol
Icy was the French government plan
to make France as nearly self-sustain-
ing as possible, to keep French money
at home and to keep the rate of ex-
change as favorable as possible to
France.
1t did not occur to the French Off
cials that reconstruction problems
could be solved more easily if the Lille
people and others in the same predica-
ment were permitted TO buy factory
machinery abroad and thereby hasten
the day when the textile mills would
resume production.
Would Help Labor.
With production started, even
with factory reconstruction started,
the French economic system would be
benefited, because such an outcome
would give employment to French
workmen. And expectation of tex
tiles-which have to be manufactured
before they are shipped--would auto
matically push the French exchange
rate into a position favoring France.
Yet the whole chain of reconstruc-
ton was blocked by the prohibition
on importing foreign spindles and the
French textile people themselves were
obliged to oppose a government policy
that hurt their business.
American business men In France
during the peace conference shook
their heads when they were asked
about the possibility of immediate
trade between France and America,
and the optimistic ones took the view
that tight government control of trade
as put into effect by the French in
January as reconstruction measure
could not last long.
What happened to the textile indus
try during the war was only repe-
tition of the sad fate of the brewing
business and the mining industry. as
well as the sugar business.
All of this wreckage cost the French
something like $500, 0oo, 000-that's the
first official estimate.
Dream Of Prosperity.
In the midst of this despollation
France has a dream OF future indus
trial prosperity to be realized only /
by protecting all national industry
against foreign competition. Never
before has she thought seriously of
taking the Germans place In Europe,
and nnu she hpliayas that with only
a comparatively small amount of IA
voritism she can compete for many Of
the German markets. /
From the despairing days of July,
1918, when 1t seemed certain the Ger
mans would take Paris and that
French public opinion would not stand
behind continuation OF the war, to
the exaltation France feels today in
the joy of victory is far cry, to say
the least
The tables are completely turned.
Politically and economically the
French have made tremendous gains
and they can only be expected to make .
the most of their bettered position in
the world
If they happened to work at cross
purposes to England and America, we
can expect some compromise measures
and some heated headlines perhaps in
case the censor gets off the job some !
time in 1919, but scarcely anything
more serious.
