liquidation; to bmerst in? public by if leasing the le?tor and giving him ariotlur chance; to benefit the debtor by freeing him from the dili aenre of Lis creditors. Mr. Crabill emphasized, the following points; The debtor is j-'hen life r.new under the present law that the honest man will pay his juit debts even though he be released from doln .wo by a civil court; that the four montly clause nullifying "assignment?" during that length of time rrevlous to th bankruptcy proceediiiXs is all important; that the valu'j fjf uniformity of the law cannot ba ( f rf stiniated; that chaos would he fh" result of state instead of national bankruptcy laws. Mr. Lambert In rebuttal made tha pointed statements that "you cannot nmke laws that will prevent crook from beating people," and that "one cent on the dollar was about th ''erage dividend paid by bankrupts 1.1 this district."

Ever Offered by Uncle Sam ! War Savings draw four per cent interest, compounded quarterly. This is absolutely the finest investment the Government has ever offered so good that no one person can buy over $1,000 worth of W. S. S. T There is every reason why every American-American should buy W. S. S. and help Win the War. Aside from the patriotic reasons though is the sound business sense reason of Extra Good investment. r Another fine thing about W. S. S. is, they are bought with money saved from day to day and week to week and not with money already saved and invested. Save and Serve serve the Government and thus serve yourself.
