Every once in a while you read in
the papers about savings bank ac-
count which has lain dormant for a
number of years. The depositor has
died or moved away and forgotten all
about the account he started in the
bank. Then a claimant for the ac-
count comes to light and it is found
that compound interest has doubled
or trebled the original account and,
in some cases, what was only a small
surplus has, by the lapse of years and
the steady operation of compound in
terest, become modest fortune.
Did you ever stop to consider why
1T is that there are laws prohibiting
banks from paying interest on such
dormant accounts after a certain per-
iod-in most states around twenty
years? Do you know why it is that in
no state of the Union nor country in
the world are interest-bearing finan-
cial trusts permitted in perpetuity, or
even for any considerable length of
time?
The reason is simply this, even one

money in the world!
That gives you some idea of the
strength of compound interest. The
illustration is perhaps a pretty big
one to grasp. Here are few simpler
ones. Money earning four per cent
semi annually compounded interest
will double itself the first time in
about seventeen and half years. One

THE TRI-COUN1Y FAIR
To be Held in jerome First Week in
October.

We do not want our readers to feel
that we are burdening them with mat
ter pertaining to the forthcoming Tri-
County Fair to be held at Jerome the
first week in October, but the import
ance of this event makes it necessary
that as much publicity as possible be
given to it. We have heretofore call
ed attention to the deep interest that
is being taken throughout the three
counties in the way of exhibits, and
from present indications the magni-
tude of the affair is going to surpass
the most sanguine expectations of the
officers and board of directors, and
other loyal supporters, and it goes
without saying that it will be the
greatest event of the kind ever held
in southern Idaho.

DEMAND THIS LABEL

The Times believes that right now
is the right time to start a movement
for permanent fair association and
the purchase of fair grounds Twin
Falls has been flirting around with
the fair proposition for the past seven
years, while the price of land about
this city has steadily risen in value to
the point where it is real financial
problem to raise sufficient funds to
buy the forty acres needed within
right distance of this city or on a car
line. The Times believes that unless
something is done within the next
year that a fair ground will not be
possible for this city and that it will
eventually go to some other part of
the county. The Times is willing, to-
gether with the business houses OF
this city, to start next month on q
campaign to raise money for that pur-
pose. By getting each business man
to pledge certain sum each month to-
ward stock start a corporation for buy
ing fair grounds and running an an
nual fair. Make the shares ten dollars
each and as fast as man pays in ten
dollars issue stock to that amount to
him and keep on issuing stock up to
the total amount of his yearly sub
scription as it is paid in In a short
time by this method the money for an
optional payment on forty acres could
be made before railroad DEVELOPMENTS
start land prices soaring again. The
fact that carnivals do not interest and
attract the farmers should be appar-
ent to all and it should be patent to
all that it is the farmers who are real
ly making this country and tract what
1t is now and the wonderful country it
Is destined to be. Therefore some
thing that will interest the farmers is
what the business men should work
for. A good county fair will create
that interest. There is no question
but what a great many farmers will
subscribe to stock for such purpose.

ment that the state land board has de-
clded to put the Boise Basin timber
on sale in accordance with the terms
laid down by the Barber Lumber COM
pany, of which Lyon Cobb, son of Cal
win Cobb, editor of the Boise States
man. is the general manager. Just
why this action was taken while Mr.
Lafferty, who left here last Saturday
and Mr.. Bush and another engineer
are in the Basin cruising the timber
we cannot understand. Just why the
report was not awaited in order that
the board could form some idea wheth-
er the timber is worth the price offer
ed by the Barber Lumber company or
three times as much is a question the
members of the board instead of the
Signal will have to answer.
The Barber Lumber company de-
manded that the timber be sold in a
body and not in forty-acre tracts, and
the board will sell it that way. This
will preclude the possibility of smaller
companies bidding and will leave the
way clear for the big fellows. It is
announced that the sale is to be adj
vertised in couple of timber Jour
nails, but it is doubtful if this will
help matters. The Big timber men are
together and there is little possibility
OF their competing with each other,
especially as the Barber Lumber com
pany already has large holdings in
the Boise Basin.
There are some members of the
state board for whom the Signal has
the highest regard, and as they have
reserved the right to reject any and
all bids, we will await the outcome
before saying some things, but a
word of warning at this time may not
be out of place. If John M Haines
expects to be renominated and re-
elected governor via the Barber I.um-
Der company route he will be sadly
disappointed man. The same thing is
true of others who will likely ask a
return on their record. If the timber

thousand, what it is actually worth.
well and good, but if it is to be sold
at $500 an acre, less than one-third
of what it is worth, the day of reckon
ing will come as the people of Idaho
are growing tired OF our industries
and resources being exploited for the
benefit of few.

Now, the question for each reader
OF this article to ask himself or her
self Is, Have l any compound inter-
| est working for me?
II you have been earning money for
some time but have not yet seriously
considered this matter of saving. sit
down at home this evening and figure
out how much you would be worth to-
day If you had saved Is per cent or 25
per cent of your income from the be-
ginning, and had put your savings
where they would have been profit
ably at work in your behalf with the
aid of that tireless worker-compound
interest.
Such introspection is good for one,
1t is SO easy to follow the line of
least resistance that many men have
not the strength Of character to do
anything else. For most of us, spend
ing, not saving, is the line of least re-
sistance.
A good way to save money is to
imagine that your income is smaller
than it really 1t and put away the diff
ference. For example, whatever your
earnings are, conduct yourself as if
they were one-tenth less, and save the
