Show "Living a Plan," U. P. Agent Invests Proceeds of Farm Sale Shelton, Neb., June 7 What a happy man .Mr. Morgenthau would be if all "good Americans" Ameri-cans" were as good Americans as Shelton's W. B. "Wild Bill" Evans, the Union Pacific Railroad Rail-road agent here for 17 years. Mr. Evans put $26, GOO into war bonds during March, April and May. "Ever since I got out of the last war," he says, "I've been living a plan." And this spring when the plan called for selling his 120-acre irrigated ir-rigated farm, purchase of which seven years ago for potato raising rais-ing was part of his plan, it also called for a smart investment of the sale proceeds. A son, Bob, 17, now is attending attend-ing Wentworth Military Academy, Acad-emy, at Lexington, Mo., but soon will go into the Navy. When he comes back, Mr. Evans will send him to college, he says, "and il I'm not here the war bonds wiil guarantee it." In addition to the $26,600 in bonds bought with his farm sale proceeds, Mr. Evans has regularly reg-ularly been buying bonds through the railroad's payroll deduction plan ,and with a few cash purchases pur-chases his and Mrs. Evans' total in bonds is somewhere in the neighborhood of $32,000. |
