The dollars roll in now, and it would be a mighty wise thing to think about a thrifty investment of these dollars. There is no ques tion about the dollars being invested. But are they going to purchase un necessary luxuries, extravagant liv-' ing, worthless' bauoles, or will they be placed so that when the time com es when money is not so. cheap, the possession of some real, hard cash,' liberty bonds, or a home,. will be the" supreme thing.
