In the Treasury Department the
Savings Division is endeavoring to
bring home the value Of sensible
economy as pr.-lciple OF living; to
interpret thrift. not as mlserliness,
but as the wise management OF ones
affairs, taking heed CT present and fu-
ture needs and steadily saving for
worthwhile purchases, to take adrant-

From faraway Tulsa, Okla. comes
the story that War Savings Stamps
are tremendously popular among
the Indians who have grown rich
from oil wells discovered on their
properties.
"Stick-em-on" competitions are
popular among the Indian Rookie
feliers, who buy the IS stamps in
st eets, arrange their cards neatly
and start licking and sticking at a
prearranged signal.
After all the stamps had been
stuck on during a recent contest
the Indians capped the field meet
by lining up and racing to the post
office to get the stamps registered.
Blue Nose Smells-No- Meat won the
race and had his stamps registered
first. He had pasted on $4S5 worth
of War Savings Stamps in six min
utes and fourteen seconds. HIS
time to the postoffice was s6 Soc
onds fat.

MISER SAVER BIG sum
BUT ONLY TO LOSE IT
g Man Did Not Follow Principles Of
Thrift-SoIe Idea Was to Hoard
His Money, Spending Nothing.


A modern Midas of Chicago, who
had accumulated 100000 by never
spending anything. recently was de-
clared incapable Of handling his at
fairs He became incapable not be-
cause he .amassed 100000 but because
Of the way he accumulated it. He es
tranged his family. went to bed with
the chickens to avoid spending money
on lights and lived on $50 a year.
Then he ran afoul Of the puzzling in.
come tax law and now his children are
to handle his beloved savings. This
modern Midas was not,a thrifty man.
He was q miser True thrift enhances
and increases the wealth Of the world
Hoarding money benefits neither the
miser nor his fellows. Wise spending
is as essential Is wise saving, and
wise investment is as important as
either; wise spendin&Y3r the comforts
and pleasures Of life as well as the
necessities makes for the thriftiest
life and stimulates production. Wise
investment makes eossible the crea-
ton of new wealth.
The miser saves but spends moth
ing. He secures only the meager sat
isfaction of watching his pile of money
grow The wise exponent OF thrift
and sound investment has the COM
forts and pleasures Of life and saves
at the same time The foolish man
spends his money for what he neither
needs nor really wants; does not at
tain the comforts and lasting pleas
ures Of life and saves nothing.
If the modern miser Of Chicago had
spent wisely he would have had years
Of comfort and happiness instead Of
years of sQualor and want. If he had
saved wisely he would have had the
love and respect Of his family and as
sociates. II he had invested wisely
he would have been competent to han
die his own affairs.
Waste not-want not" is still the
modern axiom of thrift but want not
must not be interpreted to mean not
wanting the things that make life
worth the living. Don't be modern
Midas.

INTEREST

Here is what one man did. If you
don't know him you know some one
lust like him in your community.
Twenty years ago he owned che
clothes he stood in and that was about
all.
He saved fifty dollars tho first year;
the next year, with a little better
wages, seventy-fye.
One thing with another--a wife and
family included--he has saved an
average of nve dollars a week for
twenty years.
What he saved in twenty years Wss
about five thousand dollars. What he
has is twice five thousand-like the
man in the parable.
His dollars working foT him now
bring him more than his yearly saving.
