"You take In a let of money young man"
says Samuel Savelt "but you spend it all. There
is a constant stream of money passing through
your hands. If you ''Would 'dam that stream you
would soon get ahead. I'll tell you how to dam it.
Bimply run it into a good bank and check it out as
needed. This will retard the flow."
This bank sanctions the foregoing advice and
invites you to deposit your whole Income here and
then check it out as required.' That's one sure
way of retarding the flow ' the stream of ex-

"Flu-ey" ones for Beaver and the
surrounding territory. The epidemic
which slightly abated two weeks ago
seemed to take a new lease on life
and the number of cases has been
multiplying at a tremendous rate the
past week. In many cases the mal-
ady Is of a more malignant form than
formerly and a number of deaths
have occurred throughout the coun-
try. At the rate it Is now going It
looks like the epidemic would soon
run out of material tor there are very
few who have not been stricken or
are now Buffering with It.

That the necessity for a success-
ful campaign was ncvor moro urgent
In tho history of the American Red
Cross than during the Christmas Roll
Call drive on December 16-23 was
clearly demonstrated recently at tho
most enthusiastic meeting or Red

lips stato committeeman eighty
three out of eighty nine field rep-
resentatives and chapter chairmen as-
sembled to hear the plan of campaign
outlined by George Waverly Brlggs

and Joseph Dickson Jr. executlvo

"This will not be a campaign for
money but for membership" declared
Mr.. Phillips today "good' live mem-

port of all Amercisns was never
greater. Tho boys have done their
work many of them He wounded. Our
allies have borne the brunt of the
battle many of them He sick and
starving. With the awakening of a
world liberty new and more sacred
obligations fall upon the American
people which may only be fulfilled
through the ministrations of the Red
Cross. We at home must not falter
now.
Recent plans have demonstrated
that practically a full per capita sub-
