Calculating Youth.

Margaret's uncle had taken a party
Of small children nutting, and when
they were to distribute the nuts he
told one of the boys to give each child
so many handfuls. Margaret would
not accept the nuts from this boy, say
ing she wanted her uncle to give the
nuts to her. He felt a little fiattered
to think she would take them from
no one but himself and asked why she
felt that way. She came over to him

Buy q War Savings Stamp.

The greatest thing about learning
to save is to make astart. There are
very few people who have not deter
mined at some time or other in their
lives that they would lay by something
for the proverbial rainy day. Where
they fail in their plans in the great
majority of cases is that they never
get enough ahead, as they think, to
warrant them in opening savings
account at the bank or making any
definite move TO acquiring habits of
thrift. When they are in funds their
thoughts are filled with wants that
must be- met, and their desires grow
as a rule decidedly faster than they
are able to crafty them.
For people of this kind the war
savings stamps movement should ac-
complish wonders. War savings
stamps make saving easy and they
makeit attractive. Twenty-Five cents
is all that is needed to make a be-
ginning; that will buy thrift stamp
For Sab, invested now, war saw
ings stamp can be purchased. re-
deemable by the government in jan
nary, 1923. at S.. Many who buy
these stamps will thus come to COM
prehend for the first time the magic
of compound interest, will perceive
for themselves the inner meaning of
the old adage, Take care of your
money and your money will take
care of you" This is lesson which
once learned is not easily forgotten
or disregarded.
1t is gratifying to see that the war
savings stamps movement is getting
under way in South Carolina, for
there is no part of the country that
has suffered more because its people
did not know how to keep their mo-
ney from burning holes in their
pockets. They have the chance now
to learn and they can have the added
satisfaction of feeling that every
thrift stamp purchased. every war
savings stamp that is bought, is a
direct contribution to the winning
of the war.-Neus d. Courier.

is just so much work that must be
