What's Your Business?

Jt is often so much easier to advise somo one
ht.w to spend his money than it is to spend your
own.
You know what the other fellow ought to
spend but with you it's different. Now any ad-
vice we may have to offer will not be along this
line at all. Our advice is not along the lines of
.spending money but rather in saving it. Any-
body can spend money but it takes ri wise one to
save it. There is nothing like opening an account
at a reliable bank to assist you in saving.
Add to the account regularly and you will be
surprised how easy itvill grow. Start now no
matter how small.

The final report of the results of
tho sale of Third Liberty Bonds In
Beaver county shows that we "went
over tho top" with plenty of margin
to spare having more than reached
our quota two nnd one-half times.
Tho following report shows the
number nnd amount of Biibs'nptlons
as placed through the various bunks
of the county. Any subscription that
was pjaced otherwise nnd there were
mnny'whlch went to bnnks lu adjoin-
ing territory could not be credited to
Beaver county. Had every dollar sub-
scribed by Beaver county residents
been pioperly credited to the county
our record would have been even
greater but many living near tho lino
placed their subscriptions with banks
outside tho county with which they
do business nnd thus those counties
got the credit. Our people should re-
member this In the future not that
Beaver county cares so far as tho
