ARMY OF YOUNGSTERS [ MARCHING RAPIDLY ON With Reopening Of School, Boys And . Girls Renew Their Efforts T? Win Commissions. Y Left! Right! l?ft! Right! Left! Forward?March! With the reopening of schools, Uncle Sam's Army of Savers has stepped out to make new records for Itself, and to enlist boys and girls who have not ' yet become members in tbe ranks of , this wide-awake organization. Will it I keep up the snappy pace with which it started last April? Many members t -hare marched right on through vaca-tion, and their example, together with that of an inspiring beginning, indi- ' cate that the motto will be "let's go!"j A feature of the school savings move-1 ment developed exclusively in this j .? federal reserve district, Uncle Sam's Army of Savers was organized lust spring, with youthful "officers" and "privates" whose insignia buttons and "'commissions" were awarded by th-j Savings Division of the Treasury Department. Membership in the Army may be obtained by Investment in one 25-cent Thrift Stamp, and future promotions in rank depend upon the number of additional stamps bought. The fact that before last session closed twenty-five General's "commissions" and buttons were awarded in this district to children owning 20 War Savings Stamps each, indicates the rapidity with which promotions are being earned, as this is the highest rank . Summer banks are being opened, and summer savings counted with an eye to the coveted promotion they will V bring?the Lieutenant's or it may be me tapiams uutton tUat will be awarded In recognition of patriotic service rendered through the purchase 'of savings securities. These banks .wore distributed at the beginning of vacation to members of Uncle Sam's .Army of Savers desiring to save money during the summer In order to wId promotions. Tbo activities of Uncle Sam's Army of Savers will be promoted to round out the thrift instruction to be given ,ln the majority of schools in the dis Itrlot. Boys and girls -will learn the principles and theory of thrift in their classrooms, and will then be encour aged to put what they have learned ;into practice by earning money and investing the right proportion of it in 'safe, interest-bearing government se 'curities. i MONEY GROWS FAST AT j COMPOUNDED INTEREST Now Possible Fop Everyone To Invest j In Securities Guaranteed By The Treasury Department. ( j Government Savings Securities, whiql jmay be had at nearly all post offices j jwere issued to encourage regular sav i ling and wise Investment. Many mil \ 'lions of dollars In the United States Jhave been put into these securities <and, as a result, tens of thousands oi (people have the satisfaction of know ing how steadily money Increases at ); per cent ^V'terest compounded quar ' terly. ' The fundamental characteristics ol Government Savings Securities arc 'that they are safe beyond question easily convertible into money, and not 'subject to market fluctuations. Such; merits give these securities a distinctive investment value. The securities are safe because they are guaranteed by the United States . Treasury Department. They are easily convertible into cash, because they may be redeemed at local post offices or from the Treasury Department at Washington, and they are not subject to market fluctuations because the Treasury guarantees the price, which increases by a fixed amount?In the case of the interest-bearing securities ?every month. There are three kinds of Govern ment Savings Securities: The 25-cent' Thrift Stamp and the $1 Treasury Sav-1 / ing Stamp?neither bearing interest; i the Interesting-bearing War Saving Stamp, and the Interest-bearing $25, $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates. The 25-cent Thrift Stamps and the; $1 Treasury Savings Stamps are is- i sued to help people save enough to buy War Savings Stamps,, and these | latter, when enough have been bought,' may be converted into registered! Treasury Savings Certificates. The $5 War Savings Stamps cost from $4.12 in January to $4.23 In Do I cember, increasing in value one cert each month. The value of the $25 Treasury Savings Certificate increases five cents a month, that of the $100 certificates twenty cents a month, that of the $1,000 certificates $2 a month^ Like War Savings Stamps the certir . icates are redeemable at their full w face value upon maturity; that is in k five years from the year of purchase.

McCallum of John Hopkins University, says: "Milk is our greatest protective food and its use must be increased instead of diminished. The liberal use of milk has made us what we are. No family has the right to purchase any meat until each member has at least a pint of milk daily and this I regard as below the optimum. Milk is just as necessary for the maintenance of health in the adult as in the young. I have sought in vain for several years for a diet which was not only of a character which could support growth in a young animal, but which would maintain an adult in a state of health over a prolonged period. I am convinced that we should adhere throughout life to such diets as will induce normal growth in a child of three to five years, if we would maintain the highest state of physical well being of which we are capable. Let me request in closing that the dairy Industry has made us what we are, and that any further reduction in our composition of milk and its products, will be reflected in a lowering of our standards of public health and efficiency. o Election of Class Officers. The young men of Berean Bible Class of the First Baptist church will elect officers next Sunday a. m. at the usual Sunday school hour. All members of the class please keep this in mind and be present, also bring some one with you. Earl J. Hayes, Reporter.
