GOVERNMENT'S PEACE-TIME SAVINGS
'" ' " -r-.' '-
"Owing to the vast destruction of capital in connection
with tho late European war,-estimated at more than 300 bil
lions of dollars, the necessity for, saving is almost as im
pelling now as during that tremendously devastating pe
riod," is the statement of Theodore Hardee, of San Francisco,
oireo.tor of .the government savings organization for the
Twelfth Fodcrar Beservc district. .
Mr. Hardee goes on to say,: "The appalling waste of eco
nomic resources in that great conflict echoed a summons to
tho world to bend its energies toward tho re-accumulation of
capital aa rapidly as it can be saved: So far as tho average
American citizen is concerned, ho will find no safer method
ot doing this than that now offered bv the nniW stnr0a

amazing . ability of picking tilings up

small owiu He had developed enor
mously when he got away among new
people and cleverer people. He had the
instinct for seeing the best thing to
imitate, and then to imitate it ..until, .it
was natural to him.
Sometimes he went wrong. He was too
easily led, too mneb impressed by super
ficial people.. Sometimes he forgot and
became unbearably rude as he had done
just. now. . ,
Then he wonld turn again, with that
irresistable, winning manner that was
nautral to him and that was his greatest

He did it this time.

"Xow .let's be sensible and come to

we were on tlie way to a definite settle

Win looked ashamed of his remark. He
ran over a list of names.

"Water!" yelled some on on the
other side of tho road. Erlo picked up
the bucket ami hurried over. "Sorry
to disturb your royal hlR-hness," said
the man, vlth on elaborate bow, "nut
