Don't Be Careless
Ih Your Dress
Big men are busy and haven't time to make
a life study of men's characters ; they look them
over and decide' maybe not positively but if
you are well dressed and look successful, you come
first toward a favorable decision.
Rid your mind of the idea that it pays to buy
anything cheap. The very act may save a little
at the time but it cheapens your standard and
destroys your capacity for doing big things.
Stetson Hats cost more than ordinary hats,
because they are worth more. Don't hesitate
over the price just regard the purchase as a
part of the plan to make sure you are at least
"headed" right.

THE FIRST
OF A SERIES
OF WEEKLY
Messages from the
United States Gov
ernment to the
American People.
These Messages will ap
pear in The Independent,
with which is incorpo
rated Harper's Weekly,
each week beginning Feb
ruary ninth. Prepared by
George Creel
Chairman of Committee
on Public Information
Appointed by
PRESIDENT WILSON
It is your privilege and
duty to know and under
stand more clearly what
your Government is doing
and why. America's
ability to take her full
part in winning the war
depends first of all upon a
thorough understanding
of her problems by every
American citizen. Presi
dent Wilson says :
"The war is biinginp; to
the minds of our people
a new nppicciation of the
problems of national life.
. . . These and other
lessons of the war must
be learned quickly if we
arc intelIip;ontlv and suc
cessfully to defend our
institutions. When tho
war is over we must ap
plv tlie wisdom which we
Itavs acquired in purfjinp;
nnd ennobling the life of
tho World."
Here, in the Govern
ment's message week by
week in The Independent,
you will find clarified and
explained the problems we
must think clear through
and the lessons we must
learn by heart.
Says President Wilson:
"The whole Nation must
be a tenm in which each
man must play the part
for which he is fitted.
Wo must all speak, net
'and sene toe;ether."
But first of all we must
tltinlc together and it is to
give you a true Basis of
Fact for your thinking
that these Weekly Mes
sages from the Govern
ment are presented.
As the files of The Inda
pendent and of Harper's
Weekly are recognizee! as
rontainini; the best interpreta
tion of the times that tried
men's pouls from 'Gl to '63
so today these two weekly
journals, now united as one,
ate doine; a similar public ser
vice not only for this genera
tion, but for thoc to come.
No greater or more welcomo
opportunity for service has
come to Tho Independent than
its authority from Washington
to carry each week to the
American people Chairman
Crecl'i. message fiom the
United Stares Government of
vtoik that is being done, and
plans that are being nrule to
carry the war to Victoiy.
