Make Your
Money Work
For You

The reason some people seem
so prosperous under all con-
ditions is often because they
have money at work for them.
They have saved a reasonable
portion of their earnings and
placed it in the bank on inter-
est. They are then assured
of a certain definite income
every year.
You have to work for your
money. Then make your
money work for you. Two
dollars per week placed in a
savings account every year for
ten years will amount with in
terest to over $13OO.00. Can
you not save two dollars per
week?
We pay four per cent interest
and compound the interest
every six months. We would
be pleased to have you open
an account with us.

National Legislative Committee Outlines Legislative Pro
gram-Calls For Passage of Resolution Submitting Ma
tional Prohibition and Prohibition For District of Colum
bia At Short Session This Winter.

Tho committee Is highly gratified
at the reports received. Prohibition
has taken another great leap forward.
Michigan has voted for Statewide pro-
hibition by 5000 majority. Nebraska
by $4,000, Montana by 10000. and
South Dakota by $4,000. Idaho has
adopted a prohibition constitutional
amendment by majority of to /.
Utah has probably elected a Legs-
lature pledged to enact Statewide
prohibition. Washington. Iowa, Colo
RADIO, ARIZONA and Arkansas have de-
feated attempts of the liquor people
to secure the adoption of proposals
which would nullify their prohibitory
laws. Thus, twenty-four States out of
forty eight--one-h of the States of
the Cnion--have now declared for
Statewide prohibition, and over so per
cent of the population and IS per cent
of the area of the country is now
under prohibtory law.
In view OF these facts. Congress at
the approaching short session, should
pass promptly the resolution now in
the committees of both houses giving
the several States of the Union the
right TO vote upon a national constitu-
tional prohibition amendment.
furthermore. as majority of the
people of the United States are now
living in dry territory Congress should
pass the bill providing for prohibition
in the capital of the nation and the
District Of Columbia The law govern
ing the capital city OF the nation
should be in. accord with the senti-
nent of the majority of the citizens of
the nation.
These two measures should be pass
cd by. Congress without delay and
other legislation. such as prohibition
for Hawaii and for preventing the use
of the mails for liquor advertising in
prohibition territory should also re-
cevc prompt and favora bic considera-
ton from the national law-making
body
We call upon the patriotic citizenry
OF the country to urge upon their
representatives in the Senate and in
the House Of Representatives the
speedy passage Of these measures.
