IS EASIER TO DODGE,
:. elephant THAN FLEA
Troublesome Inseet-Like Extravo'
ganccs Which Attack Pocket.Book
When You Are Not Looking.

You can dodge an elephant but you
can't dodge a flea. You have to swat
the flea. The big financial dangers
that threaten to overwhelm you can be
avoided easily and safely. Unless you
deliberately place yourself in the path
Of danger by attempting to get some.
thing for nothing, or by speculative
and hazardous investment, or extrava-
gance, you are not likely to have the
financial life crushed out OF you by
one rush Of disaster.
You can sidestep the charges OF ths
elephants of dishonesty, bad judgment
and mismana cement by buying Liberty
Bonds but you can't sidestep the flea
bites Of waste which take nickel
here and quarter there and a dollar
somewhere else before you can put
your finger on them. Most people" can
avoid spending $4,000 for an automo-
bile OF $4,000 for diamond ring but
they cannot resist the Is cents for
an extra cigar Or the 81 for theater
tickets or the nickel for bag of pea.
nuts. You cannot always dodge if you
have the money in your pockets. II you
let them alone, they will make your
bankroll look as sick as kid with
measles.
The only way to prevent these small
expenditures from making an. angry
rush on e $40 bill every week is to
swat them by putting the bill out OF
reach before they light. The safest
place to put it is in government saw
ings securities. Thrift Stamps and
Savings Stamps are safe and profitable
and the greatest protection in the
world against waste money.

THEY WILL AGAIN HELP
SAVINGS STAMP SALES.

Postmasters Of the United States
have pledged themselves to continue
ucremittingly to give their fullest CO.
operation to the success Of the sav'
ings movement Instituted by the
Treasury Department, according to
news received by the Savings Diyi-
sion OF the Treasury.
At the Minneapolis convention the
National League Of Postmasters an
nounced that they would continue to
act as the principal agents for the
sale Of Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps as they have done for the last
three years.
The postmasters took this step,
they announced, because they were
convinced that the economic situation
which faced every citizen demanded
saving, wise buying, wise spendlng
and safe investment in government
securities, and they voted to enoour'
age the Savings Division movement
to the fullest extent by urging invest

A Little Love Story.

A dreamer and man of action
loved woman. The dreamer said :
'I shall write verses in her praise;
they will touch her vanity and she
Will love me for them."
But the man of action said: "How
old fashioned! I shall corner the
stock market, and that will bring
her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and
he induced friend of his, who ran a
ten-cent magazine to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other and became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the; girl married a
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud OF
his verses that he didn't care; and the
man of action was so busy that he
didn't care.

BUSY REORGAKIZ|NG
SAVINGS SOCIETIES
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Bows and Girls Who Did Such Fine
Work Last Year Soon Will Be-
Active Again,

School boys and girls in all parts OF
this State are recognizing the say
ings societies which did such excellent
work last session, and Is is believed
that even better records will be made
during this school year. In the nine
months Of the 191s-1920 session more
than $2,315,C00 was invested in Saw
ings Stamps, Thrift Stamps and other
government securities in this districe.
In order that thrift in its various
phases might be taught 10 greater ad-
vantage this session, Miss Mary G.
Shotwell, director Of the educational
division Of the district War Loan Or
ganization, last summer visited all OF
the summer schools in Maryland, Vir.
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, and was instru-
mental in having regular courses in
practical thrift incorporated In the
curriculum not only in the State sum-
mer schools but in the county schools
and teachers Institutes. In all, moro
than $50 lessons and demonstrations
in thrift principles were given to up
wards of 1000 teachers. Many Of
these teachers-most Of them, very
likeiy-will correlate the thrift idea
with their class work this session.
The savings movement is being con.
Quoted in the schools, and elsewhere.
under the direction Of the United
States Treasury Department. "Wsrk
and Save" is one Of the slogans. In
other words, effort is being made to
make everyone realize-particularly
the boys and girls Of today who will
be the men and women of tomorrow
the importance of increasing produc'
ton, of curtailing waste, Of wise
spending, Of systematic saving, and OF
investing in such securities as govern.
ment bonds, Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps.
Last session the hundreds Of sav.
ings societies in this State gave ample
evidence of the patriotism and intelli-
gent endeavor of their members. This
session, with the foundation already
laid and with the pupils knowing how
to conduct their savings societies and
clubs, record is anticipated Of which
the State will have good reason to be
proud. oH
