TO MEN OF VISION
NEVER before bas opportunity been so ripe, to men of vision, as it is
today. Today’s low market values on bonds, mortgages, first and sec-
ond, will be tomorrow’s high market values, which means that the re-
turns to be gained on an investment today will enrich you tenfold, for
the return of higher valuations on all investments is close at hand.
Men of vision will recognize this fact and will act immediately. We
have just the investment for you, one that is sound, safe and sure.

ace to our national life and far

something is wrong when in a
single ten years, the lives of more
than half a million persons, one-
fifth of whom are children, can
be snuffed out. As bad as wars
are, if we add together all the
deaths of American soldiers on

SENATOR URGES
BONUS PAYMENT
Washington, D. C.—As a de-
pression relief measure, Senator
Thomas, democrat of Oklahoma,
Tuesday introduced a bill pro-
viding for immediate cash pay-
ment of veterans’ adjusted com-
pensation certificates.
He estimated the total cost as
$2,400,000,000 and said 3,658,427
veterans would receive money.
Based on the fact that 1,203,786
fex-service men have not applied
ifor loans, as now authorized, and
therefore probably do not need
.funds at present, Thomas added
'the immediate outlay might not
exceed $1,250,000,000.

NOT EASY
’•“It is not always easy—
To apologize
To begin over
To take advice
To be unselfish
To admit error
To face a sneer
To be charitable
To be considerate
To avoid mistakes
To endure success
To keep on trying
To be broad-minded
To forgive and forget
To profit by mistakes
To think and then act
To keep out of the rut
To make the best of little
To shoulder deserved blame
To maintain a high standard
To recognize the silver lining
But it always pays”
—From United States Depart-
ment of Agriuculture Animal
Husbandman.
Mesdames Walstein Smith, B.
F. Eitel, S. A. West, A. P. Cherry,
and Albert Buehring visited Mrs.
■Sallie Ann Brooks in a Waco
sanitarium Monday of this week,
and report that she is improving.
They also visited Mrs. E. W.
Crouch, who is also in the sani-
tarium for treatment, but is get-
ting along nicely.
more than 100 designs have been
[■offered to the United States trea-
sury. This 25 cent coin is to be
minted during the new year in
honor of the 200th anniversary
of the father of the country.
The. new quarter will not be a
“special” issue, merely to mark
an occasion that is to be cele-
brated. On the contrary, it is
meant to replace the 25 cent piece
now in general circulation.
The latter coin has not proved
altogether satisfactory. It does
not wear well. If anyone will ex-
amine any quarters he may hap-
pen to have in his pocket, he will
find that the date figures beneath
the feet of the standing image
of Liberty are partly or even
entirely worn away and effaced.
An act of congress was required
{to change the design of the 25
cent piece, because of a law for-
bidding any alteration of a coin
until it had been in use for twen-
ty-five yearsj. ft is woijtli re-
>marking, incidentally/ that in
this instance a portrait of Wash-
ington will appear for the first
time on a regular issue of Uncle
Sam’s coinage.
As fact as the quarter-dollars
now in circulation come into the
treasury through banks they will
be replaced with the new 25
cent pieces, so that the existing
issue will gradually disappear.
The latter will be melted and the
old dies destroyed while the mints-
turn out a flood of the new 25
cent coins to jingle in the pockets
of the people, as they mark the
bi-centennial of the birth of Am-
erica’s first president.
