of the twenty real battle tanki now
touring the Kiftti Federal Reserve Dis
trict In the Intereet of the Victory

Tlteae tan kg. manned by crews who
Haw active aervloe on the Western
front, are of the aii-ton whippet type,
the kind that proved to efficient in
battle. They are In full battle rega
lia, even to the camouflage coat of
paint.
The turrets, from which the machine
guns project, are arranged to revolve
so that the guns may be quickly aimed
In any direction. This feature, coupled
with the great agility of the whippet
tanks make them unusually effective
In action. "
These agil steel terriers Just "eat
up" sticky spring; roads, so even the
red!y areas of the Fifth District
may eipect to sm these battle
veterans..
The commander of one of the tani
Hquudronfl that aaw service during the
lat drive before the signing of the
armistice was recently telling of an
instance of heroism he witnessed. The
Germans were holding a position al
great cost to the allies. A detachment
of British tanks waa sent out to taks
the place. It failed. Then American
volunteers wets oalled for, and twenty
tanks went over. Only six came back
but they took ths position.
That is ths kind of stuff the Ameri
can troops are made of. Let's show
them that we, too, will see the job
through that "can't" is left out ol
our vocabulary as wll as theirs. Wi
must put this Victory Liberty Loaa
over way over to do that. America
expects every man to do his duty.

Gold la th basis of all credit The
United States I now about to enter
a fifth great popular campaign tor the
sale ot government bonds to th clti
ten of- the nation. America has con
tracted more than a6.000.0U0.0tH) of
debt lnc last November In paying
war bills, and this money must be rais
ed by th people,
Every reader of this paper knows
that United State government bonds
are th safest Investment on earth.
But many of them do net. perhaps,
know Just how to explain their belief.
On of th reasons why United
State government bonds are the saf
et investment on earth Is that the
United fltatat now possesses one
third of the world's gold. This has
come about as a result ot th war. It
had large gold holdings before the
fighting began la 1H. but lnr then
th nation of th sarin have been
forced to get needed supplies and
maintain trad relations.
Th Federal Raeerv banks do not
hold, probably mora than two-thirds
of this nation's supply of gold, yet
lhy have in their resanras more than
one-halt a much at th Stat banks
of th nit fourteen most wealthy na
tions, and abroad th Stat banks have
collected practically Try gold ple.c
that the people possessed.

GET THE HABIT
This yar, with battles fought
and won, with Peace the lead
ing Paris style, there comet the
urge to spend tor fun, to fall
for Folly's glided guile. I know
myself th day I heard the ar
mistice waa really signed, I or
dered up a nice hot bird and sat
right down and dined and
wined but Just a w are crea
tures all of habits w allow to
grow, my conscience started to
recall some better way to use
my dough. It's got me. You
have guessed it Thrift the
yeast that swells the penny's
size, that teaches us to make
short shift ot things In which
no value lies. Each morning
when 1 seek my Job, I phmg
at least for on Thrift Stamp;
perhaps I buy it from a gob,
perhaps it's from a baby vamp
I do not car so long as they ar
working toward th self sstaa
end for Thrift, th thing,
which day by day Informs u
what we ought to spend.

Have you ever heard this?
"My baking powder," says the
smooth solicitor, "costs less than
Royal."
But he omits to say that it often
leaves a bitter taste, that food made
with it is likely to stale in a day and
that it contains alum, which is con
demned by many medical authorities
for use in food.
England and France prohibit the
sale of alum baking powders.

About the Hrst question our salesmen will ask you when you
try on one of our new
Is "How does it feel?" In other stores they ask "How does
it look?" The difference is thai we will first select a hat thai
will become you, and we know that a "Mallory" Hat will look
right, so what we want to know is whether the hat feels right
on the head. Be sure to have a look at our window this week
and come in and prove what we say.
