THE HOLE IN THE POCKET.

Op'all hands we are ombarded with
the exhortation to be thrifty, to save.
And, as a matter of fact, we have had
presented to us many of the most
practical reasons for not saving. 1t
becomes increasingly evident that
there Is much to be said in favor OF
blowing In all of our money while
we can buy something with 1t.
If conditions continue along their
present course man Will soon be un-
able to buy pair of trousers at the
price which now purchases suit of
clothes. And the same price, five
years ago, would have bought a suit
Of clothes plus an overcoat.
1t seems more practical, therefore,
to stock Up in clothes and everything
else for the next five or six years.
But unfortunately fashions ohange,
and If we are at all fastidipus the ex
ira dozen suits which we buy now
will be out of date in year or two.
Still, If we do not worry over the vag
aries of fashion we might endure that
disadvantage.
But groceries will not keep quite
so long. We must resign ourselves t.
eating as much AS we can consume,
and paying the increased prices which
probably will be levied every few
months.
We have no right to blame the
grocer or tailor They charge more
because they have to pay more. The
dollar Is the culprit. 1t has derrecia
ted.
If you are a saving kind of person
five years ago yon put your money in
the bank. Perhaps you saved enough
to buy few bonds. Or perhaps you
merely kept money on deposit. You
felt that If you did ihis for few
years you would have quite a tidy
sum at the end of that time.
Instead of this, each dollar that you
| laboriously earned and saved Is now
worth sixty-fve cents. If you have
saved 81, 900, you have really only $3.50.
If you saved $1,000 you have $3,25O
left. You have lost the rest, just as
though you had dropped 1t In the sea.
The dollar Is to blame. 1t has
shrunk.
1t is the ddty of the government,
Iby some economic measure, to stabil-
lie the dollar. Otherwise, people
will quit saving. They will naturally
want to spend all of their money now,
before 1t shrinks into nothing.
Every time prices take jump, the
Idollar takes q slump. Soon 1t will
Ireach the bottom Of the CREASED skid
land then-revolution, anarchy, dis
lintegration. Another Mexico.
A nation that has lost Its habit o.
Thrift Is headed for swift economic
disaster.
