crease it. Every bit of income that
is spent foolishly decreases the in
dividual's net worth or capital just
that much. For instance, If you
throw away q quarter twenty-five
cents) you are throwing away whole
years interest on S.. In other words,
you are destroying the earning power
Of $5 worth Of your mental and phy-
sical capital for twelve months. Every
time you save and wisely invest 25c
in thrift stamp, for instance, you are
saving IS of your capital and adding
ne wcapital to it.
This isn't nimagnary or fine-spun
theory. 1t a fact. Think it over,
as it applies to yourself.
Can you a ford to throw away
your Capital?
There is a period in every individ-
ual's life when this equipment, no
matter how carefully handled, be-
gins to deteriorate, which means q
wasting away of the individuals cap
ital. Because of the inevitable op-
Grafton of this human law, it be-
comes every individuals duty to
himself and to those dependent upon
him to collect cash and investments
that will take the place of this physi-
cal ind mental capital and will fur
nish the income to which every in
dividual is entitled.
All of this is another way of say
ing that ~ is >everyoL.'s d:ty to
eliminate waste, to save and invest
wisely so that he may always be a
capitalist and have an income.
How to save and how 20 invest
are tne rvo problems which must be
solved by the individual Right now
they are problems that must lie solv-'
ed correctly by individuals all over
America if this country is to con-
tinue full steam ahead.
Our Government needs billions to
finish its war job. The future de-
velopment of Americas enterprises
is to continue by Americans.
All true Americans will now strive
to stop wasting, to save and to first
loan the results of this saving to
accumulated capital for investment in
worthy enterprises at home and
abroad.
1t is your present business to take
a personal inventory to appreciate
your capital, mental, physical and f.
nancial, to increase that capital by
every possible means and to do your
part in making this nation a nation

FATHERS AND MOTHERS VA
We would like to say a few words
for the benefit of the citizens of Will
liston and especially the boys and
girls. We believe the biggest mis-
take is that the parents do not COM
mence to rule their children when
they are small, if they are taught
obedience when they are small and
not neglected, they will be just as
easy to rule at the age of 16 or II
years. We have heard it said "oh let
them go it will make a man of him
and learn them to care for themselv-
es." Oh what mistake, mothers and
fathers, keep your boy or girl at
home and let them know that you
love them, be firm with them with
the love of father or mother, give
them good advice, show them the dif-
ference between right and wrong:
If you commence this when they
are young you will not have much
trouble, but you must set a good ex-
ample for the children are apt to
think that whatever their fathers or
mothers do is alright for them to do.
Some will say "a child must have
some place to 60 to-" We will ad-
NIT that, but can't you talke them to
a show or an entertainment once in
a while, the extra 25 or SOC that it
would take for you to go along might
save you many headache and an
other thing make home 50 pleasant
that they will not care to 90 out so
much.
We don't believe that any boy or
girl should be allowed to run the
street alone or in crowds after eight
o'clock at flight without their parents
or guardians and 1 believe that the
citizens should see that the law is
complied with, if there is such law
for protection of children, and see
that the officers enforce it, if not
get some who will for I believe if
the boys and girls are allowed to
travel the streets and go to dances
and gather at all hours of the night
without their parents or guardians,
this is what leads them to the Grog
shops or it might be "Behind the
Bars" 1t is the small deed that
leads to bigger ones fthey are not
checked in time.
do hope that the citizens of Will
liston will take their hand in this
matter and see that these boys and
girls are taken care of and looked
after.
You may see the man who is full
grown and in his right mind stag
gering around the streets under the
