~ as mental perspective--the ability to adjust
action TO the element of time.
Everyone Is boru with Just two things upon
which to base activities in life. One of these things
is u certain allotment of time in which to work for
whatever ends the individual may wish to reach.
The other thing is the ability to utilize the time 10
the best advantage.
Young people, those in the twentics and early
thlrtleS, have the most time al their disposal, but
unfortunately they usually possess the least ability
20 place real value upon II. Generally the men and
women who achieve brilliant successes in early ,fc
are those who have been able to place AN accurate
estimate upon the value of the time nj their disposal
am TO use that time accordingly.
Guy Hubbart, one of the men who has enlisted
in National War Savings work and who is aiding
the nationwide effort to maintain interest in say.
inps. even though the actual fighting is over, tells
this story
About forty years ago a father gave his
son two clocks. one with u handspring of nor
NAL size and one with a handspring the same
length. but made of thinner aud narrower
steel.
The boy was to wind the clocks every night
for a month and record the relative positions
of the hour hands every day ut noon. lie was
to receive a dollar if the clock with the weak
spring ever caught up with the other clock.
Naturally he never got a cent although he vas
careful 10 do the winding every day.
The father finally pointed out TO the son
that only the strong-springcd clock really meas.
urcd time, because il utilized IFS main spring
ITS p0wcr-accurately and fully.
The father then likcned the boy mind %
the mainsprings of the two clocks, showing
HIM that in twenty years the weak clock would
be at least five years behind ;hc good clock.
The son was about twenty years of age nj this
time. lie is now a very wealthy and useful man
because he began 10 use his mind every day
for all IL was worth.
One of the things this young man did. the War
Savings worker points out, was to begin putting
money into interest paying investments. lie nor
only hogan the saving system, hut he kept il up.
These investments gave him Il regular income while
he used his mental and physical power to do other
things. The investments worked. in a sense, while
the owner slept or rested. Interest. like time, never
stops.
Between now and thirty years from now all
the interest in the world will grow just thirty years
worth, One thousand dollars, at six percent. for
thirty years, amounts TO $500, interest and prin-
cipal.
Aud while the ~ 1000 is earning ~ SOC the
owner of 1t can use the thirty years for other aetiv-
tiles, useful and interesting. You can figure out
The compound interest for yourself.

STAMP BUYERS
 DIGGING DEEP

The true test as to whether the gov ernment's War Savings plan is sue cessful. is indicated forcibly in the character and variety of receipts at the various postoffices throughout Ari zona, taken in exchange for purchases of War Savings and Thrift stamps. Arizona people are quick to take ad- vantage of the governments securities plan designed to help defray the cost of the war.
 In Tucson. during some of the "heay iest9 War Savings Stamp days, very small proportion of the receipts were In the form of checks. The variety of money turned in on stamp purchases included many pennies, hundreds of nickles, dimes, quarters and coins of other denominations, in addition to quantities of currency.
 It is impossible to make the Phoenix post-office authorities or State Direc- tor Harry k. Tritle believe the War Savings plan is not bringing money out of socks" and from beneath mat tresses. in one day the Phoenix post office received a 8 bill of 1858 date; the bill was so old it nearly fell into bits through handling. The same day a school boy presented S3 gold piece in payment for Thrift stamps It was the first piece of this denomination seen at the Phoenix postoffice in many years.
 Very emphatically the Phoenix post office officials deSis-e the War Say ings Stamp plan Is meeting the gov ernment's expectations in relation to its appeal to the states preponderant population of moderately circum- stanced people Unquestionably, they say, it's operation is bringing into cir culation additional money" money that has been secreted for varous mex plicable reasons.

SAFETY FIRST

With every last officer and man in suerd for sl0,000 which is the maximum amount permitted under the govern ment's plan for insurance of men in the service, the 340th Field Artillery, in training at Camp Funston, Kansas probably holds the insurance record over that of any other unit in the army or navy.
 Ninety per cent of the membership of thes340th Field Artillery is composed of Arizona men, and feeling certain that this record would be d matter of pride to all Arizona people, Captain Joseph E. Brown, insurance officer, yesterday sent the following message to Governor Hunt:
