LEARNING TO MAKE
MONEY ONLY HALF
Wise Spending is Also Essential
According to War Savings
Organization.

Learning how to make money is
only half. 1t is learning how to
spend wisely and save judiciously that
counts.
Even saving does not necessarily
mean wise spending, since the pres.
ent day offers so many equivalents for
our money. 1t is only by making a
careful, systematic study of the house
hold administration that proper bal.
ance may be found between the diff.
ferent items in the average budget OF
the home.
There are items in every household
on which too much money is spent
The fact must be faced that if toe
much is spent on clothing, for in
stance, less must be spent for other
necessities of life.
Saving, however, Is the item that
should be most emphasized. Poor
houses are full of people who did not
have q savings item on their budgets
Unemployment, sickness, old age and
many other demands nscessitate cal
ON the reserve fund, the lack Of which
will result in suffering and want.
Every going enterprise is conducted
en- system. II the home is to be a sue
cessful institution it must also com
ply with this wise rule OF economics
Systematic household accounting will
make home moro cheerful and pros
porous. Household accounting alone
however, will never return its full len
eft until it is backed by an intelligent
family budget.
One must consider the problem o.
whether it is wiser to pay rent or tc
build home In large measure this
depends on local conditions as we'll az
the size of the income.
Amusement and recreation are es
sential in family life. The child ant
the adult should have an allowanc.
for this, though the total be verJ
small, averaging from 4 to per cen
of the income of the family.
The wise spender plans the needs o.
the family SO that the amount spen
in the miscellaneous" items will be
as small as possible. This item should
not be catch all" in home records.

MUCH JUNK FOUND BY
VIRGINIA COMMUNITY

Thrift and junk business are boom
ing at Emporia, Va. ut keeps me
busy running to the post office to get
Thrift Stamps to pay for all the sal
wage thai is coming in now" said
the proprietor of one Of the junk
shops. where all the junk comes
from is a constant wonder. No one
would have believed that so much
stuff could have been hidden away in
town OF this size."
Under the voluntary organization
OF Mrs. W. B. Goodwin, Of Emporia'
all the housewives of the town hSve
been conducting an organized salvage
campaign, in accordance with the
plans outlined by the War Loan Or
ganization of the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District.
Salvage so collected is sold to the
local junk dealer for its full value in
Thrift Stamps. According to arrange
ments already made with most deal
ers In waste materials in the Fifth
District, wagons will call for junk
wherever a Salvage card is d-s'
played. These cards have been dis
tributed all over the State.
Not only has Emporia found that
this organized campaign is resulting
in highly beneficial town cleanup,
but a source OF economic welfare
hardly known before has thus come
to light.
The Salvage campaign has proved
so satisfactory in Emporia that JUNK
wagons are now being run out to the
surrounding towns.

SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uncle Sam Provides Protection for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes to
Lay Aside Part of Earnings.

This is the day of the small inves-
tor. The war opened the eyes of some
10000, 600 Americans to the benefits
OF investing in government securities;
it minimized to the same extent the
menace of fraudulent promotions in
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are max
ing investing safe for the small saver.
Every small investor should realize
that dollar saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much Of almost any
other commodity within four or five
years, so that, in addition to the in
terest that War Savings or other gov
ernment securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
pu chasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw
ing. Amounts that seem Insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are i'm
pressive.
A great French banker was once
asked the secret of French thrift, anu
he replied, Compound interest" Just
as constant waste, even in little
things, may change ones life from
success to failure so the steady saw
ing of money will eventually bring
independence, if not actual wealth.
There are very few persons who
cannot, without inconvenience, lay
aside 10 cents day. Within ten
years ones daily savings Of this in
significant sum will amount to 1855,
in addition to sSo.36 compound in
terest, making a total Of $445.a6.
BY saving Is cents day for ten
years, with interest compounded at q
per cent, one will have the comfort
able sum of s66S1s; 20 cents day
will net sS90.s9. Save so cents day
for ten years and there is s2,227.75.
A dollar a day will make total of
s4,455.74 for the ten-year period.
All these figures are based on the
savings being put out at per cent
compound interest. War Savings
Stamps yield more than per cent.

LESSONS WILL TEACH

ing of thrift to the little ones at the
Mother Goose" ege. Then for the
older children there are many other
ways Of bringing the lesson home

netic adapt themselves to the teach
ing of thrift

talks for all grades; tentative read
ing lists, with the names OF the pub
lishers of books included; and, in each
chapter, a paragraph on the practice

OF conservation and the wise use oi
all his resources.
