-FOUR FAIR PLAN
LOOMS LARGE IN
EXPO SITUATION
SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT ONE
CITY CAN RAISE A SUFFICI-
ENT AMOUNT TO PULL OFF
SHOW IN PROPER STYLE
COMMISSION MEETS WEDNEs.
DAY.

The four-fair plan for properly eel
etrating the Florida Purchase is look
ing large in consideration of fixin
a site for the holding of the exposi
ton. The idea first originated i,
Tampa after the business men of tina
city saw that it would be PRACTICAL,
impossible for any one city in Florid.
to properly finance the affair so that i
would be of proportions commensu
rate with the occasion.
The Tampa plan is to have a sep
arste fair held in Jacksonville, Pen
sacola, Miami and Tampa, represent
ing, as it were, the four corners of
the state. This suggestion was boot
ed at at first, but after Chairman
Brorein stated that he very seriously
doubted the ability of any one city
to finance the proper exposition, 9TH
ers came to the same conclusion.
The commission having in charge
the preliminary arrangements for
the fair will meet at 10 o'clock We'd
nesday morning in Jacksonville. On
ly Jacksonville and Pensacola will be
represented at this meeting, both hav-
ing agreed to properly finance the
undertaking.
There is some doubt as to the ex-
position being awarded to either city.
When the idea was first started by
George Massey the legislature pass
ed the bill creating the comission of
five men and appropriating $40 900 to
be used in preliminary work. AS
soon as this commission got together
the idea of breaking the exposition
up into four fairs was sprung. 1t
was pointed out that the law did not
permit of this plan. At the meeting
held in this city last Tuesday all
presen agreed that there was no use
in discussing such a plan. There
was one ,hali 4hearted voice raised
for the four fair plan but all of the
other speakers were against it.
Logan Wants Four Fairs.
Last Friday afternoon ]. j. Logan,
the present Jacksonville member of
the commission, met with number
of the advocates of a worlds fair and
told them that he wanted four fairs
and that he did Got want to vote for
Jacksonville as the site for the expo
sition unless the commission could be
shown that this city could produce
$10,000,000. Later he said that the
city should at least be able to show
the commission that it could produce
100000. After fully explaining
why the four fair plan should be adop-
ted even if the legislature had to be
forced to change the law, he left the
and said tibet he would be
bound by the wishes of the people Of

STEEL MASTER BEGAN
TO SAVE WHEN YOUNG.
Recognized That Success Ley in Sound
investment-Safest Security in
World Is Now Offered BY
Government.

Andrew Carnegie died not long ago,
leaving behind him s3O,O0O.0OO. He
had given away about $3OO,O0O,0o0 in
an effort to avoid the reproach Of
dying rich.
It is probable that the high cost of
living gave the "steel master" little
worry during. the latter half of his
life, but it is certain that in his boy
hood the prices Of the necessaries of
life were vital factors. And Andrew
Carnegie in his early years met the
cost Of living with the same remedy
which Americas leaders, headed by
President Wilson. are now putting
fortheas the bisic principle of the
fight to withstand the menace that
turks in the soaring prices of today.
That remedy is thrift-the practice Of
saving. the elimination Of waste and
sound investment.
In the days when Andrew Carnegie,
IA years old, earned s1.20\a week as
bobbin boy in an Allegheny City
cotton mill, and later when he earned
$11.25 a month as a telegraph mes
senger boy, the cost Of living meant
much to him. He had little margin
for saving. But he did save. There
were few opportunities for the small
saver to make safe investments. Sc
curities were net issued in small de-
nominations. There were no Thrift
Stamps or War Savings Stamps.
backed by the government, into which
the meager proceeds Of the Scotch
boys thrift could be converted.
But Andrew Carnegie at the age OF
10 determined upon safe investment.
The soundest securities that offered
were 10 shares of stock in an express
company worth $500. Carnegie had to
borrow part Of the money he paid.
But he was convinced that savings ly-
Ing idle were not performing their
proper function.
The American man or woman, boy
or girl of today does not have to bor-
row to add to the savings fund in or
der to find safe investment. The gov
srnment makes sound security in the
form of Savings Stamps, Trtasury
Savings Certificates, and war bonds
available to every saver who will be-
gin to practice thrift by the regular in
vestment Of sums as small as 20
cents.
Every American today has better
opportunity for success than lay be-
fore Andrew Carnegie when he faced

SAVING GROWS EASIER
AS HABIT TAKES HOLD
Young People Must Be Brought to
Realization Of What Future
Means to Those Who Spend
Wisely.

1t is easier to spend money than II
is to save. 1t is also more fun-at
first. But money that is spent does
not work for you. It is gone, and is
working for somebody else.
1t is as hard to make young people
realize the necessity Of saving as it
issto make them realize that they are
not always going to be young. 1t is
so easy to be young and reckless
But habits of thrift have to be
taught. They also have to be formed
by practice. That means that the ris->
ing generation must be taught to cap
italize its youth, and in childhood
shown how to distribute and allot such
income as it may have.
That indeed, is large part of civ
ilization. The savage lives today. The
civilized man lives today with an eye
upon tomorrow In order that tomor-
row may be as secure as today he
saves some Of today's goods for to-
morrow's use.
The war taught many people how
to save; it taught other people how
to spend. The wise spender is the
wise saver, but the emphasis is on
the wise" and not on the spending"
Education in thrift Is an educat'"1
in good citizenship and in good m~--
ais. The person who is being taught,
to save is also being taught to fore
cast. the future and to make tomorrow
better because of wise living today.
The government of the United States
is offering to men, women and chill
dren the opportunity to invest savings
in safe and profitable securities.

MANY LOST FORTUNE
TRYING TO GET RICH
Hundreds Caught Under Stock Mar
ket Landslide But Those Who
Invested in Government Sc
curities Are Safe.

Whether or not many persons from
this section were caught" in tie re,
cent slump of the New ork market
probably will never be known. and
there is no way of estimating the
amount of money lost. But it is def
nitely known that many men end per-
,;haps a number Of women were badly
"stung" and that their losses ran far
into the millions Of dollars.
1t goes without saying, OF course,
that their losses came from the mar
ket collapse Of certain securities or
because they were unable to weather
the storm when stocks, which they had
bought on margin, suddenly depre-
ciated. In other words, much OF the
loss was because men and women
lured by the promise Of great profits
matched their wits with the nld wal
horses OF the speculation game, and
as q result many little fortunes were
utterly wiped out.
Many business men realized SONS
time ago that certain market quota
tions in Wall Street were abnormal
/ of course all of them realized the
risk Of speculating on vague promises
! of profit-and warning after wdIEing
was issued to the men and women OF
moderate means not to endange: their
money in any get,rich-quick sch enle
which might be offered.
Those persons who invested the r
savings in such standard securities as
Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes. or
Treasury Savings Certificates or Var
Savings Stamps intending to hold to
maturity, were not caught in the land
slide, for government securities are
always redeemed at full face value
.Slpon maturity They provide the best
protection in the world and the man
or woman whose4 investments are
represented by such securities-and
who holds these securities-is always
absolutely safe regardless OF anything
that may happen in the speculative
stock markets of the country.
OF course the immediate market
value of Liberty Bonds and Victory
Notes fluctuates, but holders OF these
securities may rest absolutely easy
because the changes in the market
prices of these government securities
are far less than in other bonds and
+,a;r Intrinsic worth with the Govern
.uent back of them demands that on
Maturity they will be paid for at Just
Exactly one hundred cents on the DOL
