The Business World}of today rests upon the the bank account. If all banks were to close up, the business of the world would be set back a hundred years.

Are you doing busi­ness as other progress­ive men are? If you have not a bank account you are behind the age. Better open one at once.

More than 150 years ago Benjamin Franklin wrote: "Keep your shop and It will keep you.” The stamp of great­ness Is on Franklin’s philosophy be­cause R was not alone of his time; It holds for all time.

Our ways have changed a bit in the economic life of this republic which the great Franklin helped to build. No longer may every man be his own

I shopkeeper. Most of us help keep ; some other fellow ’s shop atjd a certain j element among the assistant shop | keepers have become restless because I they have no shop themselves and call j themselves I. w . W „ Bolsheviks,I other names.

and

Nevertheless Franklin’s homely say Ing is as true today and as easy to comply with as it was the day he ut tered It. The United States govern ment provides the way.

War Savings and Thrift Stamps conceived as a war measure and nov backed by the government as a per manent policy, give every man, woinai and child in Ame ica the chance tc keep shop. Each person Is allowed to put $1000 a year into the business— the business of American government. The business guarantees 4 per cent per annum compounded quarterly, [t is the biggest business in the world. One can invest as low as 25 cents.

The wonderful thing about it is that the investor helps his country as well as himself.

The Mission in the Vale

BY EVKI.YN SHEPARD

There’s a vision, there’s a vision, That will ever with me dwell ;

O f the Mission o f San Carlos,In the Valley of Carmel.

O f a dreainv, peaceful valley, Nestled in the violet hills,

W here the meadowfarks aresinging T o their mates in wondrous trills.

Where the gentle kine are grazing On the slopes o f tender green.

And the Mission of Sap Carlos Breathes o f peace and loveserene,

W here the hoiv I at,her Sena In the far off din s of old,

Brought a vision of the future T o the children o f his fold.

Where he heard the fair larka s ing­ing,

F elt the blue o f sky and sea,And lias left tbis glim pse o f heaven

In the hearts of you and me.

“ I f you are a i'alatkan and did not know this inan, then you have missed forever one o f the joyous experiences which grow out o f a man's relations with his fellow men. His short life among us was a spiiit- uai fragrance which blew in from the everlasting hills. He was the soul o f gentleness and kindness and cheerful ; he was thoughtful o f others, charitable, and his spirit was sweet. I he News will miss his weekly visits with his church an­nouncement. We will never forget how he wan wont to breeze into this office with a smile that drove dull care away and a cheerful word of inspiration.”

Victory Liberty Loan quotas o f th e Twelfth Federal Reserve District a re to be determined in some measure by the amounts loaned the governm ent by each district in War Savings Stamps during January and February. If a district oversubscribes its W a r Savings Stamp quotas for the f ir s t two months of the year, Its V ic to ry Liberty Loan quota will be decreased to the extent of the oversubscription. Conversely, if a district fail3 to rea ch its January and February Stamp quo­tas, its Liberty Loan quota w ill be Increased.

When Lewis B. Franklin, d irec to r of the War Loan Organization, was in Jan Francisco recently, he revea led hat on the day the armistice w as igned there was in progress in W ash - ngton a meeting to formulate p lana ,'or the continuous sale of L ib e r ty Bonds— such a plan as governs th e sale of Thrift and W ar S a v in gs Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty B on d and War Stamps work was to be losely coordinated.These plans were immediately d is ­

carded When the Germans signed the armistice and when Secretary o f the Treasury Glass took office he a a _ nounced that the Victory Liberty L o a n would be the last. In the face o f su g ­gestions that the Victory Loan be p u t on a cold commercial basis, he addled that the men making these sugges- tions were discounting the patriotism of the American people and he w ou ld depend upon the patriotism o f the American people rather than place se­curities of the United States g o v e rn ­ment upon a plane with the paper o f private corporations.

The banks used to buy United S ta tes bonds bearing 2 per cent interest be­fore the war. That's how good th e credit of the United States is.

The $100 you put Into a Victory L ib ­erty Bond will be worth $125 plus In ­terest when prices settle down, a d o l­lar Is worth what you can buy w ith t t

Better have the bonds of the U n ited States in the handc of 30,000.000 ordinary citizens than concentrated inthe hands of a few rich men. T h in k of that when Uncle Sam offers y ou a Victory Liberty Bond.

Don't think you have sacrificed be­cause you may be paying for your in . tere st-bearlng Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds. These fellows back from F ran ce legless, armless or sightless don’t th ink they have sacrificed. They sim ply think they did their duty.

The Victory Loan coming In April Is the last Liberty Loan. Then th e war is over for yo l. It will be still going on for 1,000,000 Americans in France.
