with Intelligent creation of a monej
surplus to meet emergencies, if un ,
Ihrlfly, the concern Is bound fol
Imnkruptiy, which will arrive ioonei 1
or later.
Thrift goes far beyond the eiecu i
live office, and so does lack of It. A
thriftily managed buslnnsB will havi j
sti-atly, skillful employees, working li
pleasant surroundings, with evory ad

The unthrifty I uslness is too familiar
II attracts chiefly the driftwood amoni
workers. Unpleasant surrounding!
anil poor equipment make work drudg
ery. Waces are below good stand
arils, ami the year Is usually marker
by periods of idleness. If not labo
troubles.
Thrifty managers bare learned It
recent years that thrift facilities ex
tended to their employees are part ol
general thrift In management. Th
employee mutt set aside his surplus
too. He Is more than willing to miv
if he Is the kind of man who values s
job with a thrifty concern. But II
has not always been easy for him tc
put his weekly savings in a s-cur
place. Savings Institutions may U
far from the pay window. Employer,
have overcome thla handicap In manj
cases by accepting depoelta to bs
transferred to a bank, by sailing s
curltles in their own boarnese to em
ployees on the Installment plan, mid
In other ways. They have also takes
pains to see that employees are Dot
victimised by loan sharks or blue-sky
promoters.
Since the Thrift Stamp and Wai
Savings Stamps came into existence
there has been a wide development of
this thrift movement for employees,
an part of the management of a thrifty
business. Employers know that thrift
decreases labor turnover and also In
creases output. The worker who
saves is not worried by debts. Hs
thinks well enough of kts Job to set
tie in the community, buy a homa,
raise a family.
War Savings Stamps offer the best
medium for group savings In business
organisations. Thousands of faring!
clubs or societies formed during the
war to help finance the government
have been found so valuable th.it
thousands more wilt be organised. The
best proof of the he:ttth, stability and
usefulness of any Industry is Its
hearty teamwork with the Treasury
Department in organising savings to
etetles for the regular purchase of
Thrift and War 8.ivlngs Stamp.

Your Village And Mine
It is Just a typical American vil
lage perhaps yours or the one in the
next county. It has two churches and
a hotel and there 1 the "corner"
where the men gather after supper
to consider politics and "the state of
the Union." Its population is about
8.000.
..When war was declared It gave It
sons with a glad heart, and they
marched away bravely -many with a
sob in the throat, perhaps, but with
a splendid vision guiding their feet.
Prom the training camp these boys
went to rrance and were moved np
Into the battle ltne. The Hun was
making a desperate effort to destroy
civilisation In a bloody drive on Paris.
Then
The richest man In the village met
the hotel barber and they gripped
hands In silence. Their two sons lay
dead In the Argonne.
The village butcher boy red head
ed and Irish smiled for the last time.
He died fighting that freedom might
not perish. The town's Beau Brum
mel he had never amounted to
much won the Croix da Guerre but
lost both eyes.
Oas claimed the son of the widow
who lived in the little green cottage.
At first she could not speak when
she received the brief telegram. Then
"John waa all I had. I hoped ha
would come back. It I had two sons
I would give them too." That was all.
.But
America as a whole never felt the
real hand of war not a France felt
It nor a England nor even as Can
ada. Why!
Because our dollars stopped the
war. They mad possible those tre
mendous preparations for a long war
that resulted In a short war. Never
was such a stupendous assemblage of
munitions. Germany wilted. Thou
sands of millions of dollars were
saved. But best of all, tens of thou
sands of American boys were sated

The war Is over. Victory is ours.
America escaped the frightful burden
of debt which would have been ours
If the war had lasted two years long
er. We sUll have those dollars in our
pockets.
And the boys are coming home.
But tho debts the government did
contract the debts that won the war
must be paid. They will be paid.
America has pledged Its faith, and
the faith of America has never been
questioned.
We are now asked to lend the gov
ernment some of those unpaid dollars
we atill have in our pockets, and. to
secure the loan, Victory Liberty
Bonds will be Issued the safest In

Then let our hearts and our purxi-e

were saved.
HE HAD THE GRIT
THAT WON THE WAR
Carter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, copied the following note, anion
others, from the note book of a Red
Cross nurse when he waa In Trance:
"One boy I shall always remember.
Ills right shoulder was practically
shot away and he had a liig wound
In his back and one In his left eye.
But he sat straight up ami wouldn't
let anybody help him. He didn't Hay
a word while they pulled off tho tight
clinging gause from the red, raw, wet
flesh that quivered In spite of him.
When the nrst wound waa finished all
ba said was:
"Do you think I could rest a minute.
Doc, before you do the second one!"
"Red, raw, wet flesh" Americsn
flesh. It waa not yellow. Think of
that when you are asked to buy Vic
tory Liberty bonds, you who think
you bar don enough.
