A Vell-to-Do Farmer Who
Used to Talk About What
he would do if he were rich, became heir to a con
siderable sum of money and soon after stopped
working and set about, as he said, "enjoying his
money." He bought, right and left, .expensive
things for the home, horses and carriages, changed
his mode of living 'and squandered a large part of
his unearned wealth this the writer knows as a
fact giving nothing to the things he talked of
giving to if he were rich.
The man who does not learn to give early in life
Is generally stingy to the end. The boy or girl who
wants to begin his,life right by learning to give and
grow up as a giver can earn something these days
and put it into the Red Cross work. He can do
errands,' carry packages, deliver newspapers, save
carfares by walking. If he docs not do something
at this time of the country's need, he will be a selfish
and stingy man, sure and certain.
The boy or man who works and cams what
he spends is on a safer track for a happy and
useful life than if he is only the heir ta what his
parents earned and saved.
This applies most particularly to the duty of
today, for every one of us, oldest to youngest,
richest to poorest, to do our best for the Liberty
Loan. Those who haven't the money to lend can
give their time and influence, and to make up for
any shortage they might double their day's work
in doing this.
This store grew out of savings of small coins,
worked for.

A Statement About Silks
Important to Read
Every customer of the Wanamaker Store (and of
other stores, too) should be informed that the greater
part of the American silks now coming on the market
arc not so high in quality as in former years.
The weave is not no fine.
The dyes urc not quite what then uettl to be.
The duvablUty is not so much to be relied on in some cuscs.
We prefer that our customers should know this rather than .
be disappointed in any expectation.
The reasons are these:
Men who ran the looms on which the finer silks used to be
made have nearly all been called into war work. This was to be
expected they wei-e men more than ordinarily efficient and could
be made most useful in munition woik.
Workers called in to replace them (where, it was possible
to replace at all) were inotJy untrained women, and they have,
not yet learned how to get the best work out of complicated and
delicate machinery. They cannot yet weave the beautiful smooth
textures that we used to pet.
American dyes hac been pioduccd with amazing success,
but the work is new, and theiclire sometimes, mistakes.
And, to add to these difficulties, it i so hard nnd costly to
Ktep the factories joiiiK oven at half-pioduction that prices are
going up almost maddeningly. They go up and go up, and there
is no help for it. '
This is not intended to discourage the buying of silk
which ought to be bought, because silk is the only fabric not
heavily used for war supplies but to suggest that you buy very
carefully, and with a determination to get at least the best that
is to bohad for your money.
We believe it will be found that in our large stocks there arc
at this moment:
Mora of the earlier bought, reliable silks,
'More of the best selcctioti of the new silk,
And lotver prieis all urountt,
thnn in any other establishment. In fact, we can prove all thiee.
Japanese wah silk? are still perfectly safe
to buy without doubt as to their quality, and we
have an abundant stock of these on hand.

What Man Will Fail to Step Forth

Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now

their histories that on September 2S
191S, Pershing's army carried on its
glorious advance, and that on the same
day the American people at homo be
gan to raise the almost uncountable sum
of six billion dollars as a Liberty Loan
to make the victory certain.
And the little children will ask, "Do
you remember that day. daddy?"
And you will remember that it was
a fine fall day, and that you had ,iust
put on your new Fall clothes, and that
you were a leader in the enthusiasm in
the Liberty pageant.
