DON'T PAY TOO MUCH
FOR YOUR WHISTLE.

Ben Franklin once got stung! on
q whistle at that
When Franklin was a child OF sew
en- he was given lot of pennies one
holiday. fastening into a nearby
toyshop he voluntarily gave all he
had for a whistle. He later discov-
cred that he had paid four times too
much for his toy Realizing how many
other things he might have had in
addition he wept with vexation and
got no more pleasure from the
whistle. He never forgot the Incl
dent. Afterwards, whenever he was
tempted to make too great an outlay
in time, energy, or money, he would
say to himself, Don't pay too much
for the whistle" Some folks willing
ly elbow in an entire months SAL
ary on one evening of frivolity, rob-
bling themselves of all manner Of
pleasure for an indefinite period
others sacrifice the best of their tall
ents in pursuing some fruitless am
bition. Still others forego the simple,
natural joys of life in worshipping a
snobbish ideal.
How is it-with you?
Are you paying too much for your
whistle? Or are there some 1919
War Savings Stamps in your life?

Interesting Comparisons Between
Systems in America and
~. England.
BRITISH PRICE ALWAYS SAME
Stamp ts Dated When Purchased ant
20 Due Exactly Five Years From
pate-War Savings Societies
- Are Popular.

Washington.-An interesting COM
parison between the systems Of War
Savings stamps in Great Britain and
America is made by the savings divi-
sion Of the United States treasury. 4
England had been selling War Saw,
ings certificates for more than q year
before this attractive form Of invest
ment was offered to the people OF the
United States. This country has had
the advantage Of the Britons' expert
ence In this field, and while the two
savings stamps are alike in most re-
spects, there are 8 few interesting diff
ferences. ~. -
The British War Savings stamp Is
dated when purchased and Is due ex:
actly five years from that date. This
enables them to sell the certificates al
ways for the same-15s. Cd. ($3.83).
The American War Savings stamps
are issued In annual series. and each
series has a uniform date Of issuance
and Of maturity. The present rate Is
kept uniform by increasing the pur-
chase price one cent each month. This
means that all Of the 1919 War Savings
stamps will mature in January, 1924.
while In three or four years British
War Savings stamps will begin coming
up for redemption in varying amounts
each day. p z"
The British System.
The British have devolved the sys-
tenn Of purchasing the regular sixpence
postage stamps, which are pasted on a
card until 81 are obtained. Then the
card Is exchanged for a War Savings
certificate. Americans, on the other
hand, can purchase 25-cent Thrift
stamp, and thus gradually accumulate
the required 16 stamps necessary to
purchase War Savings stamp, add
ing, of course, the necessary amount
according to the month, namely, Il
cents for January or % cents for De.
cember.
War Savings societies, or associa.
lions as the British term them, are
very numerous in the British Isles,
Each person affiliated with the associ.

alton contributes either fxed sum or
any amount he can at regular inter
vals, say, each week. Whenever the
secretary finds 15s. Cd. or more In the
treasury he Immediately purchases one
or more War Savings certificates for
his society, so that the certificates be-
gin to draw interest. AS soon as a
number Of persons have completed
their payments 1t is customary to draw
lots for the advantage Of the earliest
dated certificates In the association
treasury. Thus, the lucky person may
obtain certificate which has been
accommodating interest for weeks pos
sibly, while the last stamp drawn will,
Of course. be only few days old.
These associations, which are estab-
lished in churches, schools. shops and
factories. give interest and bit Of
competition to saving while the week
sly drawings add a touch Of excite
ment. ," .. :
Exempt From Taxation.
Both British Savings certificates and
American War Savings stamps are ex-
empt from taxation, and for this and
other reasons there rs limitation to
the amount that may be held by ole
individual In the early war days in
England persons with income exceed
ing $500 were not permitted to buy
Savings stamps. This condition was
later changed so that anyone may hold
Savings certificates up to about $4,000
maturity value. In the United
States one Individual may not hold
more than $1,000 Of any one series. In
both countries there is no Limitation
preventing each member Of family
from holding the prescribed limit.
