SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uncle Sam Provides Protection for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes 10
Lay Aside Part Of Earnings.

This is the day of the small inves-
tor, The war opened the eyes of some
100000 Americans to the benefits
Of investing in government securities:
it minimized to the same extent the
menace Of fraudulent promotions ia
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are max.
Every small investor should realize
that a dollar saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much Of almost any
other commodity within four or ave
years, so that, in addition to the in.
terest that War Savings or other gov.
eminent securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power Of the dollar saved

LEARNING TO MAKE
MONEY ONLY HALF
Wise Spending Is Also Essential
According to War Savings
Organization.

Learning how to make money is
only half. 1t is learning how 70
spend wisely and save judiciousiy that
counts.
Even saving does not necessarily
mean wise spending, since the pres
ent day offers so many equivalents for
DER money 1t is only by making a
careful, systematic study OF the house
hold administration that a proper bal
ance may be found between the diff
ferent items in the average budget of
the home.
There are items in every household
on which too much money is spent
The fact must be faced that If too
much is spent on clothing, for In.
stance, less must be spent for other
necessities of life.
Saving however, is the item that
should be most emphasized Poor.
houses are full Of people who did not
have a savings item on their budgets.
Unemployment sickness, old age and
many other demands necessitate a call
on the reserve fund, the lack Of which
will result in suffering and want.
Every going enterprise is conducted
on system. II the home is to be a sue
cessful institution it must also com.
ply with this wise rule of economies
Systematic household accounting will
make home more cheerful and pros
porous. Household accounting alone,
however, will never return it's full ben
eft until it is backed by an intelligent
family budget.
One must consider the problem Of
whether it is wiser to pay rent or to
build home. In large measure this
depends on local conditions as well as
the size Of the income.
Amusement and recreation are es-
sential in family life. The child and
the adult should have an allowance
for this, though the total be very
small. averaging from to per cent

CAMP MEADE WILL BE A
PERMANENT ARMY SITE
Secretary Baker Announces that Pur-
chase of Land will Continue

Secretary Baker Announces that Pur-
chase of Land will Continue
Washington. July 15-The war de-
partment's original plan of making a
permanent army post and encampment
site at Camp Meade, Md, will not be
abandoned. 1t will be carried out as
proposed by the Department two
months ago, when orders were issued
for the outright purchase of the areas
needed. but which later was held up
when Congress threatened to intervene
by withholding further appropriations.
Secretary Baker announced yester-
day that the land purchases at Camp
Meade would be resumed and that the
project would be carried out on the
same basis as proposed in the first in
stance. The same applies to Camp
Lee, Va, to Camps Custer, Devens,
Dix, Didge, Gordon. Grant, jackson,
Sherman, Taylor. Travis and Upton.
The Secretary also directed that the
construction heretofore authorized for
permanent army posts On the Mexican
border be continued, but that all con-
structlon work and the purchase of
real estate for aviation fields and bal
loon fields or schools be discontinued.
1t was the original purpose of the
War Department to acquire for per-
manent army purposes large number
of military cantonments and aviation
fields. This list included Camps Meade
and Lee and many others which were
regarded as necessary for the mainten-
ance of standing army of $4,000 or
more men.
When the House Military Affairs
Committee took up the Army Appro-
priation bill. however, the committee
refused to carry any appropriations for
these purposes and warned the War
Department to stop the purchase of
lands and construction upon such areas
as already had been taken over APP
proximately 35 per cent. of the area
needed at Camp Meade had been sur
viewed and decided to the Government
when this warning was given. The tt
ties to the remainder of the tract were
being examined by Government at
torneys, but when the House Commit
tee announced that it would recommend
legislation going so far as to bar the
use of unexpended balance for this pur-
pose. work at Meade was suspended,
along with that at other environments.
When the matter reached the Senate,
however, the War Department was
able to induce the upper house to so
amend the Appropriation bill as to al
low the department to proceed with
the acquisition of such of the canton
ments as were imperatiYelY necessary,
not naming the camps, but leaving
them to be selected by the department
officials.
The significance of yesterdays an
nouncement, therefore, is that the War
Department has found that Camp
Meade is among the group of camps
found to be imperatively necessary to
the army and that the work of acquir-
ing the real estate and of converting it
into a permanent military post pro-
ceeded.
