“Didn’t you read the paper?”
“Yea,” but I didn’t see any-
thing about investment#*,” de-
clared Sam.
"Well, didn’t you read the
war news?” askoT FT. “Didn’t
you see the great news about
the Americans and t French
knocking the • c . of the
German lines? Von v.u-' l ave
seen that list of pr so rs and
guns captured and the terri-
tory we gained.”

INVESTMENT PAYS
LARGE DIVIDENDS
“What are you grinning
about, Bill ?” asked Sam, as the
two friends met in front of the
postoffice. “Did you ffnd an oil
well out in your field, or did a
rich uncle die and leave you a
million or so? Why all the hap-
piness?”
“I’ve just gotten news that
an investment I made turned
out fine,” enthusuY'ticaily re-
plied Bill, “and I am as happy
as an elected candidate. Would-
n’t you be feeling pretty good
if you had gotten that kind of
news ?”
“What kind of an invest-
ment was it?” Sam waited to

looked mighty good, 1 ut wnat’s
that got to do with your in-
vestment?”
“Why, that's the investment.
That’s what I’m feeling so
good about. I put my money
in those boys, Sam, and I’m
getting my money’s worth,”
Bill replied.
“What do you mean? Invest-
ed in our soldiers? I don’t get
the point,” isaid Sara, looking
.puzzled.
“Of course you see it,” an-
swered Bill. “I invested in our
boys by lending my money to
the Government. I bought War
Savings Stamps, put a wad of
the money my cotton and pea-
nuts brought me in them. I
paid my W.S.S. Pledge and the
Government put it in bayonets,
rides, cartridges and food and
told those old huskies over
there to do the rest. They are
doing it mighty well, too.
Those Germans are running
over themsel.es to keep out of
the way. My War Savings
Stamps are helping lick ’em
and in just a 'Tile while the
Government v '! give mo back
my money with interest. Sure
I’m happy over my investment.
Come on, let’s go down to the
bank and pay your W.S.S.
Tledge so you can get in on the
next big drive over there.”
“I’m with you,” declared
Sam, fingering his pocketbook.
DSE GOOD PAINT--
When You Clean Up and Paint Up
Painting is an economy—the better the paint, and
its proper application, and the more promptly it is
used on places needing paint, the greater the econ-
omy. The annual loss through the lack of painting
is greater than the annual loss by fire.
Our Paint Department is completely equipped
with the best Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Enamels, Stains,
Brushes, etc. Lay plans now for the big Clean Up
and Paint Up Job.
