MARION DAVIES
—in the collegiate laugh riot!
IN
THE FAIR CO-ED
COLLEGIATE!? You’ll say she is—right down to the last
rolled stocking! For never has beautiful Marion Davies had
a role to tie this one for breezy, saucy humor and hilarious
escapades. As the campus siren in this mile-a-minute laugh
riot, books mean nothing to her—but the havoc she causes in
masculine hearts is nobody’s business- The whole country
has fallen for her.
Ycu’U join the cheering squad when Marion hits town!

“WE’RE IN THE NAVY NOW’
TWO little boys in blue.
Leather-necks who scrub the decks and peel potatoes, too!
Just imagine the humor! Sweethearts in every port. Balloon
pants. Set legs. Beans. ' Dog watch. Eight bells! And ro
mance for’d and aft!
Your ship of joy’s come in at last, and laughter rules the
waves!
Sailing, sailing—over the bounding main.
If you see this once, you’ll see it twice—and maybe go back
again!

SPEHDIHO HOHET HISEET
Every family of your acquaintance
spends about seventy per cent of its in
come just for living, according to eco
nomic experts.
Think what this means—seven dol
lars out of every ten invested in food,
clothing, household utilities and all
the multitude of things that keep a
family comfortable and happy.
It’s a big job to spend so much
money wisely and well. It requires
careful business methods to get the
best possible returns from each dollar
that leaves the family purse.
The clever woman goes for help to
the advertising columns of her news
paper. There she finds a directory
of buying and selling. She learns about
the offerings of merchants. She com
pares values. She weighs quality and
price. She takes this opporunity of
judging and selecting almost anything
she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, in
struct and generally bring up her fam-
ily.
Do you read the advertisements?
You will find them willing and able to
serve you in the regular business of
purchase.

What is life insurance? It is the
safest and most exact form of busi
ness co-operation on any large scale
known to man. It is a business for
making uncertainties certain. It
teaches the virture of thrift and
economy and the duty of saving up
for a rainy day. It creates a valu
able estate immediately. It provides
ready money in old age and secures
freedom from care. It is the sure,
solid foundation for the youth’s air
