PUT MICHIGAN IN THE LEAD
Pct veur- Money In War Savings
Stamps and Place State Where II
should es Among the Leaders.

Michigan occupies a paradoxical po-
sition among middle western states
In che War Savings campaign.
In the past Ave years it's thrift hab-
its, asrsshown by savings deposits in
banks, have grown faster than any
others statesin the great middle valley.
The year 1918 showed the total saw
ings had increased 65.4 per cent over
those Off 1914. No other middle west
ern state comes close to this figure
OF remarkable gain in wealth.
From this positions Just cause Of
prids--Michlgan slips away to the foot
Of the ladder, when a showing is made
of the sale of War Savings stamps.
According to figures compiled by the
American Banker, a publication OF
standing in It's field, the holding Of
stamps In Michigan Is only 1915 per
capita, rs against $14.54 for Ohio,
S12.%0 for Indiana, 1892 for Iowa,
t1I60 for Missouri, $1O.42 for Wlscon-
sin, and smaller totals for Illinois and
Minnesota.
Michigan's total savings in 1914 were
906.l8 per capita, and In 1913 S150.47.
This shows" says Luman w. Good
enough, state chairman Of the War
Savings committee Of Michigan, that
there II no field which offers so ex-
ceptionsl an opportunity as our own
state. This state not only has pros
porous farms and factories where the
good wages paid -proverbial but
II has the saving instinct.
"Once the people OF the state realize
how good a medium Of thrift War Saw
ings stamps are. have no doubt that
cur totals will show a gain that will
be. the surprise Of the 1919 campaign.
All we need 10 to get the current Of
public support with U.S.

Lansing.-State officials believe the
coming Of prohibition will aid the sale
Of War Savings stamps. While Michi-
ran Is sdry." there has been a great
deal Of rum-running. II is interesting
to note that the national liquor bill
S2,OO0.0O0 annually-would more than
cover the years quota of War Savings
stamps,, which is $1,000 100000 With
July LIST coming on, it Is believed much
of this cash will turn stampward.

CHANGED to come under his personal
observation
Mr.. Larned was approached in the
Lansing State Savings Bank by .
stranger who had an $4,000 check to
deposit against the time when he
could find suitable farm to purchase.
The bank president talked over the
land values with the man who ex.
planned that he had become wealthy
on Ohio farm land and had come to
Michigan to purchase . farm for his
son who had just been married. Only
a few days elapsed before the stranger
appeared again and called for his
$4,000. He explained he had found
just the place he was seeking, close
to a small town In the Immediate
vicinity OF Lansing and wanted the
money to pay for the farm and get
title In his sons name
Roads Make The Difference.
Mr.. Larned was curious to know
why a man who had become wealthy
working farm In Ohio should come
into Michigan to buy . farm for his
son. 1t was very simple. Farm lands

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
