NO one can, and that's the wry reason whv at this time when money conies f'airh- easy you should he feavhei'ini'- your financial nest : putting a secure roof over your head, so to speak. The few do; the many don't, as the hundreds of people in and around Bedford without bank accounts will prove. "We have a good .job for your earnings here at the First National.

Campbell, a fifteen year old student in the junior class of the Clinton, Iowa high school. His essay is as follows: As Horace Greely once said "Young man, go west!" we not, say, "- Young man, join the army!" Why It is tho big opportunity of the age. Are you physically weak? Health Is the first wealth, and the army is a health builder. It provides wholosomo food, clean, comfortable quarters and surroundings, proper clothing and medical attention, when necessary. Physical exercise is com pulsory, and every encouragement is given athlotics. Theso, with outdoor life, mako men straight, strong and healthy. Oo you seek an education? lYou can attend school at any army post or camp and study grammar and high school subjects. Would you lonrn a trade? The government has recently ap propriated ?2,UOO,000 Tor tho estab lishment and maintenance of voca tional schools where you can learn to be a mechanic, auto repair man, elec trician, telegraph operator, chemist or almost anything elso you wish. These courses prepare you for a re turn to civil life or continued aorvice in the army. Do you long for travel and adven ture? Join tho army. You can be an en gineer at the Panama canal, a wire less operator in the Philippines, u lineman in Alaska, or an aviator fly ing in the clouds. Whenever possible the government gives you tt choico of station. . ' In the army you can travel, learn and earn at the samo time. You may think army pay low. In addition to tho $30 a month, Uncle Sam pays for your food, clothing, rent, light and fuel. Wtih the pres- . ent high cost of living why not leave I all the worries to Uncle Sam? After ' thirty years' service you can retire on three-fourths pay plus $15.75 a month. The army is not all work and drilling. There are movies, libraries, . games, dances, and music; furloughs when conditions permit. I IDo you admire courage, honesty, squaro dealing, resolution and tenac ity of purpose? You will find these qualities' In men like Washington, ' Grant, Sherman, Roosevelt and Pershing men ; developed in . our army. This training of body, mind and I soul and these opportunities for edu cation, travel and adventure are more than sufficient reasons for joining.the army, but there is another and great er motive for donning the "Olive Drab." Do you love your country and would you be worthy of her? You must bo willing to serve hor both in war and peace. Have you, like Nathan Hale, one life to give for your country If so, join the army.
