HOW SAVINGS GROW.

After publishing his Poor Rich
ards Almanac" for twenty-five years
and giving thirty-two years more as
thrift teacher of his county, Benja-
min Franklin put into his will a
provision to demonstrate the power
of accumulated savings.
To the cities of Boston and Phila-
delphia he left $4,000 each. The
money was to be put out at interest
and allowed to accumulate for 100
years. At the end of that time he
figured each city ought to have
s650,00O. He directed that at the
end of the 100 years 100000 should
be invested by each city ''in public
works which may be of most general
utility to the inhabitants" The rest
should then be put at interest for
another 100 years, when the accumu-
lation should be divided-one quar-
ter to the city and three-quarters to
the state.
When the first hundred years were
past Boston found that she hal
s663,923 to her credit from the
Franklin fund. Taking 100000,
Boston established a training school
for mechanics. The remaining $163,-
923 was put out at interest again.
Philadelphia's experience with the
original fund of $4,000 was about the
same as Boston's.
Now, Franklin figured that at the
end of the second 100 years, when
the fund is to be distributed. each
fund ought to amount to about $780,
100000. But Boston's fund at the
end of the first 100 years exceeded
Franklins estimate by $13,92S. So
here's a problem:
If Boston handles the fund as sue
cessfully in the second 100 years as
she did in the first, how much in ex-
cess OF $4,000, 900 will 1t be
Franklin's demonstration was i'm
pressiye: $4,000 will go into $66S,92S
how many times? Nearly 1873 times.
Wasn't he amply justified when he
said: Money is Of a prolific ma
ture."
What sort Of a demonstration can
you make? JOHN OSKISON.

WISDOM AND FOLLY.

"Thou are a fool" said my head to
my heart,
Indeed. the greatest of fools thou
art,
To be led astray by the trick Of a
tress,
By smiling face or a ribbon smart .
And my heart was in sore distress.
Then Phyllis came by and her face
was fair,
The light cleaned soft on her raveh
hair;
And her lips were blooming a rosy
red.
Then my heart spoke out with a right
bold air;
Thou art worse than a fool. o
head"
II wlsdom's height is only Olsen
chantment,
As say the cynics of a certain
school,
And sages grow more sad in their ad-
vancement,
Then folly ls the wisdom Of the
fool
Since fools know happiness through
lack OF knowledge,
And see things fair because they shut
their eyes,
Then anyone can tell, who's been to
college,
That wisdom is the folly Of the
wise.

"LIKED" THE BLACK ONE.

A street corner orator was address
ing an audience which consisted
mainly of small boys.
His subject was kindness to ami
mails. and he urged his listeners to
treat our dumb friends with human
ity. Just as he reached the end of
his harangue a lady walked past lead
ing two little dogs on a double leash
-one white and the other black.
The speaker seized his opportunity
Now, suppose those dear little an
imals began fighting" he said, loud
ly. After hearing what l have said
what is the first thing you would
do?"
A paralyzed silence fell over the
crowd. A very small boy in the front
row eyed the two dogs critically.

WALL STREET UNAFRAID.

II asst week, for the first
u time since the European
war started, the stock
markets of the country threw
open their doors to free and
unrestricted trading by the ab-
Olition of the minimum prices
on securities, which were i'm
posed when the exchanges
were re-opened in December
after a four-months' shut
down. There is now an open
market in which buyer and
seller may meet at any price
level that demand and supply
create.
This action on the part of
the stock exchanges is an off.
cial notice to the country that
business conditions are now in
such a fundamentally sound
position that no fear is enter
tained by our bankers of any
wholesale selling of our secur-
tiles held abroad and the con-
sequent draining of our gold
resources, which during the
first few months of the war re-
strained the resumption of bus
mess activity here.
1t is often said that the stock
exchanges, reflecting the con-
census of opinion of the whole
country, offer a broader and
truer gauge of conditions than
any individual opinion. But
while this undoubtedly true, in
the present instance Wall
street-which in the broadest
sense means the financial
structure of the country-has
remained blue long after the
commercial world had seen the
bright sky through the dark
clouds.
However, we are glad to
have the Wall street official
dictum in confirmation of our
previously expressed belief
that the tide has turned and
prosperity is flooding rapidly
back to high water mark

THE PRESENT POLICY EX-
PENSIVE.

7C> AVE you ever stopped to
~ estimate the cost of bad
x roads in Umatilla coun-
: ty?
This county spends in the
neighborhood of 100000 a
year on roads. 1t seems fair to
say that at least half that sum
is expended each year in tink-
ering work that accomplishes
little if any permanent good.
The average road supervisor
will work the roads when he
has the time and not neeessar-
lily at a time when work is
needed. He gives first atten-
ton to the road near his own
home and he may neglect more
important work elsewhere. 1t
is not a system to bring the best
results.
There are we'll informed
people who declare that the
county does not get rs per cent
on the dollar in the way Of val
ue from its dirt road work. Yet
we keep on spending at least
$4,000 a year in this manner.
That expense would meet the
interest on a million dollar
bond issue that could be used
in building hard surface trunk
roads that would require no
maintenance charges.
If this county can afford to
almost throw away $4,000 a
year tinkering with dirt roads
why cannot it afford as much
for hard surface roads to the
Columbia that will pay for
themselves in one or two sea-
sons through the reductions
they will bring in transporta-
ton costs. Is not a bad roads
policy more expensive than a
good roads policy?

WATER FOR PARKINGS.

mF the East Oregonian is
correctly informed the
time will come when wa
ter rates may be reduced here
through the fact operating
costs are lowered under the
gravity system.
Going on that assumption
this paper wishes to venture a
suggestion. Provide an ar
rangement that will reduce the
cost of water for irrigation
purposes and charge nothing
at all for water used in irrigat-
ing parkings.
Such a policy will promote
better looking lawns and will
help greatly in solving the
problem concerning the park
ings. The parkings are in re-
ality a part of the street. They
are not privately owned at all.
If a householder maintains his
parking in first class shape he
does enough and should not
have to pay for the water used
for that purpose.
Is this right?
