Bra? APPERSON Leader for Twenty-Six Years QINCE1093 Appenon Brothers c? have been building motor cars at Kokorao, Indiana. Those years of experience and experiment have found fulfillment in an Eiftht unapproachable in beauty, balance ana power. Specific inatances^follow: The FIRST mechanically successful American &asoline automobile. Built by the Apperson Brothers with their own hands in 1893. How in the Smithsonian Institution in Washin&ton. The Apperson picks up from 1 to 40 miles in 20 seconds in hifch. And without jar or sudden jerk. Less parts, less friction?more acceleration. The result of 26 years of "knowing how." The Apperson will come to a dead stop from 40 miles in 4 seconds? 40 yards. A&ain?no jolt. Quick * stans and stops without shock?a characteristic born of long, constructive experience. ^T^^FZRST motor car with float fed carburetor?built by the Appereons. Th Apperson makes a 38#-foot turn smoothly- although it has a 130-inch wheel base. We believe no other car will do this. .Another evidence of mechanical genius matured by nearly three decades of achievement This feature represents only one of the many unusual mechanical superiorities found in the Appersoft. Combined, these superiorities feftuk in remarkable performance* T)u FIRST motor car wixh *lm> trie ignition?built by th? | Apptrtons. THeApperson develops full hone* power, yet responds to the lightest pressure. Does not weave or sidesway at hi&h speeds. And the Apperson delivers hi&h speeds with fluent ease.

The total number of hand grenades that have been ordered exceeds 175,000. The plan of the hand grenade bank originated in the Treasury Department, and the banks are being distributed in this district by the War Loan Organisation here. Every school child under thp aire of seventeen years J may, by apply ::g .it the local basik, receive one of these hand grenade I n?nnr.hanks as a loan for the vaca tlon period. If, during the summer, j ; enough money is saved to purchase i one or more War Savings Stamps the bank becomes the property of the child. The banks are made out of real hand grenades that were to have been used against the Huns. With percussion cap and high explosive removed, and slots cut to receive and take out coins, they are now doing service against , the enemy, waste, as banks for savings. School officials all ever the district are enthusiastic about the plan, as they feel that it will not. only keep j alive but strengthen the tnrift ideals that already have been implanted in the minds of the children. J. H. BInford, assistant superinten; dent of pvblic schools here, has endorsed the scheme, in a recent letter | expressing the hope that all the b&nka ; in the district would co-operate by getting supplies of the hand grenades, as I the school children are enthusiastic shout securing them. I , OBJECT IS TO MAKE PEOPLE PROSPEROUS ; ? I Government Much Interested In Scries < of War 8avings Soaletiea That Art Rapidly Being Organised. > Oorernmeat officials at Washington are watching with no little interest the growth of a series of societies springing np all over the United States. They have already attained a membership that reaches well up Into the millions. Treasury department officials are particularly interested in this movement, and it is fostered by that department As soon as a society is ' formed the names of the president secretary and each individual mem1 ber are placed in the treasury department archives. These societies are War Savings Societies, and the motive of each society is Thrift. The government, in favoring these organizations, has not j only in view the replenishing of the ! United States treasury through the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, but the big idea is to cause j each individual member to learn the ' value to himself of being thrifty. The government is not seeking to divert capital from legitimate commercial enterprises. It does not want to tie up vast sums. It is the person who has never saved systematically that it is the most anxious to reach. This person can put aside the small ! unounts that he has been accustomed to spend, and this, drawing four per sent compound interest, will In an in' irediblv short time grow into a large enough sum to make the first pay1 ment on a home, or to provide a sum with which one may make a permasent investment. "Nothing is final!" said Napoleon i ifter the battle of Jena. In days of j prosperity insure against emergencies. j . Buy financial safety with War Sar- j ' mgs Stamps.

AGENTS CARRYING MESSAGE OF THRIFT Harold Braddock, Director of Savinga Division Writes Letter of 'Appreciation to Each of Eighteen Hundred Workers. First-hand information and suggestions as to how to obtain increased efficiency and prosperity may now b? obtained by women on the farm, in any part of the country, froib the home demonstration agents of the department of agriculture. Entering into the national savings movement with a zest that characterizes all their work, some eighteen hundred of these home demonstration agents have been carry- ( ing the message of thrift into the farm , honses all over the United States. ( I In appreciation of their voluntarily I imdprtAken work. Director Braddock has written a letter to each worker, of commendation, which reads in part: "Thrift is primarily the people's concern. If thrift is to become a perman<*nt national asset, the people's agencies and organisations must definitely assume their share of responsibility for Inculcating thrift by including it in Aheir program for action. 8chools, churches, business and labor organizations, fraternal societies and women's organizations, as well as agricultural workers and agencies, are already undertaking this work and are in close co-operation with the treasury department." According to Mr. Braddock's letter, plans for the creation of savings facilities in the home are outlined aa fol- 1 Iowa: " c "1. Habit of saving first some part of income for future needs and of spending wisely for present needs. "2. Home betterment fund, to secure. for example, running water in the house. "3. Savings plan for every boy and girt. "4. Savings fund in government securities for every family. "8. Keeping of accounts to promote wise spending and to increase savings. "6. Safe investment of savings ("No*. 2, t, 4) in government securities until money is needed; War Barings Stamp# as a desirable investment" EASY TO SAVE Br the ume token that the best way to hare anything is do it yourself, the best way to get ahead in the world is save regularly and invest wisely. Tour children may he buying Thrift Stamps but the nickels and dimes and quarters they are able to save won't buy a new automobile or a home or a cultivator. The money to do that will not be saved unless you save it It's easy enough to save if you do it the W. S. S. way. Quarters planted in Thrift Stamps grow into War Savings Stamps and thtf interest makes them grow like run does a summer flower. Save for that happy opportunity. If you're not in a War Savings Society?get in one. Be with the crowd. ++ ? a ; |> Did You Ever Say: o ! 1 "IF I HAD THE MONEY?"
