THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE Investing the American Way by George Peek | Perhaps one of the greatest ex-! amples of the difference between the ! democratic and totalitarian concepts of j government is the diametrically op- J posed methods which the two use to i raise money. In a totalitarian state, the dictator, I whether his name be Hitler or Mus- : aolini, looks over the cash position of ! the banks, the insurance companies, j the business corporations and the in- j dividua's, and tells them just how j many government bonds they must buy. | In a democratic state the government when it finds it necessary to raise money, appeals to the thrift the business acumen and the patriotism! of the banker, the business executive? and the individual. There is no compulsion, no coercion. Each is allowed to determine whether he should invest or not and in what amount.

MOCHAS ZSOPOUHDSf forth a number of sound sales arguments as to why these bonds should be purchased. Thrift and patriotism are two of these, and either in itself should be sufficient to induce Americans to buy these bonds. The strongest argument advanced, however, and the one that should impel even the hardest-boiled Shylock to take the ilastic off his bank roll is that buying these bonds will help to maintain the American Way. The proceeds of the sale of these bonds are being used to build tanks, bombers, ships, guns and ammunition and other articles of war to make America strong. We didnt start this war--it was tnrust upon us--out we are going U finish it. We want to keep America a land wherf we have the high privilege of " uyinjs oonds voluntarily--we uon t .1 u have a Fuehrer tell us we have to buy them and how many. I;. In our humble opinion all the other teasons for buying defense bonds and itamps can be thrown overboard--we %ire buying ours because we love America as she has been and is and because we want Her to stay just that way. < We hold n^ truck nor trade with out by the state highway department, were in town the first of the week.

Rt New Army Meal Ticket Good News for Restaurant Owners What may prove a botfn to restaurant owners is the Army's new practice of issning meal tickets instead of cash to soldiers for the purchase of meals while traveling. These tickets allow a soldier to spend a maximum of 75 cents a meal in restaurants and $ 1 a meal in railroad dining cars--in many instances more than be would spend if he were paying cash. The tickets (one of which is reproduced below) are slightly larger than aeurrsaey note, are white and must be filled out by the issuing officer. When a restaurant operator receives one in tender for a meal, he fills in a few blanks and mails the ticket to the finance officer at the post from which the soldier traveled. When the meal tickets are received by the finance officer, they are given immediate attention and checks for the full amount are sent at! once. Now that the United States is at war, more and more, of these meal tickets will be usecL. Restaurant operators who wish to share in the' task of feeding the soldiers-will acquaint themselvea with Aa new meal tickets and be prepared to honor them.
