ARMY OF YOUNGSTERS
MARCHING RAPIDLY ON
With Reopsnins OF SchooI, Boys And
Girls Renew Their Efforts To
{ Win Commissions.

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left!
Forward-March!
With the reopening of schools, Uncle
Sans Army of Savers has stepped out
to make new records for itself, and
to enlist boys and girls who have not
yet become members in the ranks of
this wide-awake organization. Will 1t
keep up the snappy pace with which 1t
started last April? Many members
have marched right on through vaca-
tion, and their example, together with
that of an inspiring beginning, indi-
cate that the motto will be lets go!"
A feature Of the school savings move
ment developed exclusively in this
federal reserve district, Uncle Sans
Army of Savers was organized last
spring, with youthful "officers" and
"privates" whose insignia buttons and
commissions" were awarded by the
Savings Division Of the Treasury De-
partment. Membership in the Army
may be obtained by investment in one
25-cent Thrift Stamp, and future pro.
motions in rank depend upon the num-
ber of additional stamps bought. The
fact that before last session closed
twenty-five Generals commissions
and buttons were awarded in this dis
trict to children owning 20 War Saw
ings Stamps each, indicates the rapid
ity with which promotions are being
earned as this is the highest rank
Summer banks are being opened, and
summer savings counted with an. eye
to the coveted promotion they will
bring-the Lieutenant's or 1t may be
the Captains button that will be
awarded in recognition Of patriotic
service rendered through the purchase
J of savings securities. These banks
, were distributed at the beginning of
vacation to members of Uncle Sans
Army OF Savers desiring to save money
! during the summer in order to win
promotions.
The activities of Uncle Sans Army
of Savers, will be promoted to round
out the thrift instruction to be given
in the majority of schools in the dis.
! trict. Boys and girls will learn the
principles and theory of thrift in their
classrooms, and will then be encour
aged to put what they have learned
intO practice by earning money and
Investing the right proportion OF 1t in

Practically Nothing That II Worth

out the Greatest Effort.

1t Is easy to. sit and watch others
work. But We know of no employer
who will pay you wages for doing 1t,
unless you know how to do the work
yourself, and are working hard at the
job Of supervising it.
1t Is easy to travel about the world
on steamships and parlor cars, very
pleasant and profitable to the man
with an inquiring mind. But that is
q vacation occupation, and unless you
have earned the money to do 1t by
hard work you will get little out of it.
1t is easiest of all to feel sorry for
yourself, and to think that you haven't
had fair chance In life, and that
you'd have been a big success II you
hadn't met with SO much injustice and
bad treatment. But that will get you
only unhappiness. which Is the least
desirable thing In all the world.
There are many things in life that
are we'll worth doing, but none of them
are easy.
The first-class fiction writer takes
delight In his Job, but he also works
at it harder than any man who Is not
q first-class fiction writer or ever
dreams of doing.
The great tenor, like Caruso, finds
pleasure In his job, and incidentally In
the money he gets from 1t. But he
works about six or seven hours a day
at it now, and in earlier life he worked
ten or twelve hours, receiving far less
pay for exactly as good music.
If good Jobs were to be had by little
effort practically everybody would
have a good job. The reason that they
are so few, and that so many Of those
few are not filled, Is that all Of them
demanded the hardest kind Of hard
work. not only to get but to keep
them.
Genius, which Is said to know how
to do things before it is born, has to
work just as hard as mediocrity to
gain and keep success. Nothing you
can think Of that brings real rewards
can be accomplished without more
work than most of US can contemplate
without getting tired at the mere
thought Of it. Yet people are doing
it right. along, and you seldom hear OF
any of them killing themselves In the
effort.
If you have made up your mind to
do something unusual or to be some
body of Importance learn how to work
twice as hard as you ever did before.
That is only first step. The second
Is to think hard. II you can do both,
and keep them up long enough. you
may land, but remember you will have
a lot Of competition. Even hard work
finds plenty of men to believe In and
practice 1t.
And most of them get what they ara

EQUALS Twenty Tunnels.

with Jersey City will each Of them be
$40 feet high, or 48 feet taller than
the WoOlworth building.
The upper deck Of the bridge, over
which will flow all the automobile and
motortruck traffic, will accommodate
as many moving vehicles as ten two
track tubes such as the pair soon to be
built under the Hudson river at Canal

The lower deck will carry ten rail-

The bridge is expected to cost $11O.-

SNORTINC FERNANDO WAS
SOME "HARD.BolLED" GUY
Showed Gang Who Was Boss When
Time Came To Go, But He Saved
Enough To Get Home.

Herando Cortez, the lad that took
Montezuma's marbles and his cOun.
try and his life away from him back
In the sixteenth century, was q hard
boiled guy. From the time he crashed"
his way into his first bull fight by
carrying water for the horses, he was
always inviting Old Man Troubles
youngest and brightest boy out to do
four rounds before breakfast. The
neighbors used to say: THAT Herni
Cortez is a reckless young feller. Mark
my words, he'll come to no good end. "
But Hernie used 70 get by with it.
His motto used to be: II don't know
where I'm goin' and don't care when
l get back" People used to wonder
how he did 1t until they discovered
that Cortez always had an ace in the
hole. He always had something saved
up and ready for use when necessity
demanded.
While he was snorting around the
Caribbean Sea in a steel vest and a
tin hat, he and his gang dropped into
Vera Cruz. Cortez had heard about
Montezuma and his wonderful city up
in the mountains and wanted to 60.
The gang refused. "Ill show you who
Is boss" said Cortez, and burned every
one of his ships as they lay on the
beach.
That left the gang no place to 60 but
ahead which was what Cortez wanted.
But he saved himself UP something
lor the future. Secretly he saved every
bit Of iron about those ships, collected
every nail from the ashes, tallowed
them and all the carpenter tools
against rust and said to the gang
Lets goi"
When he came back to Vera Cruz,
he cashed In on his savings. He resur-
rected the nails. built new ships and
Catoctin clarion., 1921-09-15

took the gang and the money they had
captured back to Spain. The moral Is
that it may be all right to burn your
ships but save the nails. The only safe
plan for any man to follow is to have
a reserve fund In case OF emergencies
There is only one safe and sure plan
to accomplish that. 1t is to save q
certain amount of money every pay
day and invest 1t safely where II will
be protected, where 1t will work for
you and where you can get 1t when
you need 1t.
The new savings securities Of ths
Treasury Department, the Savings
Stamps and the Savings Certificates,
are the safest and most available
means of piling up such reserve.

people have the satisfaction OF know
ing how steadily money increases at
per cent interest compounded quar-.
terly.
The fundamental characteristics OF
Government Savings Securities are
that they are safe beyond question,
easily convertible into money, and not
subject to market fluctuations. Such
merits give these securities q distinc.
tive investment value.
The securities are safe because they
are guaranteed by the United States
Treasury Department. They are easily
convertible into cash, because they
may be redeemed at local post Offices
or from the Treasury Department at
Washington, and they are not subject
to market fluctuations because the
Treasury guarantees the, price, which
increases by a fixed amount-in the
case of the Understanding securities
every month.
There are three kinds OF Govern.
ment Savings Securities: The 25-cent
Thrift Stamp and the 81 Treasury Say.

tificates.
The 25-cent Thrift Stamps and the
81 Treasury Savings Stamps are Is
sued to help people save enough to
buy War Savings Stamps, and these
latter, when enough have been bought,
may be converted into registered
Treasury Savings Certificates.
The IS War Savings Stamps cost
from $4.12 in January to $4,23 in De-
cember, increasing in value one cent
each month. The value of the $25
Treasury Savings Certificate increases
FIVE cents a month, that of the $1OO
certificates twenty cents month, that
of the $1,000 certificates 81 month
Like War Savings Stamps the certif'
icates are redeemable at their full
face value upon maturity: that Is in
