INDUSTRIAL FUTURE
BRIGHT IN FEDERAL
BOARDS FIRST REVIEW
Returning Prosperity Ausurs Well for
Thrift Stamps.

Indications of a smooth transition
from war to peace basis; conf
dence in the industrial future of the
country and evidence of little incon-
venience in the readjustments of labor
are high lights in the national sum-
mary of business conditions recently
issued by the Federal Reserve Board
at Washington.
The report has been found hearten-
ing by the Treasury Department off,
cials who are planning now to sell
$4,000. 900, 100000 of War Savings
Stamps in 1919.
''In general" says the summary,
s'the transition from war to the peace
basis has thus far proceeded with de-
cided lack OF friction. Such slacken-
ing Of business as has occurred is de-
scribed as due to conservatism and
hesitation, the outcome of the desire
of producers to know more of public
policies and the probable trend of
business. There is some unemploy-
ment, but the situation is improving.
Taken as whole, the situation is one
OF waiting for more settled condi-
tons. From practically all districts
comes the predictions that the slow
ing-down will be temporary.
Labor Again Employed.
~Thus far the process of readjusting
labor to the new conditions has
caused little inconvenience or difficult
ty. Labor set free in war indus
tries has been steadily absorbed by
general business so that the principal
supply has been merely to relieve a
previously existing shortage. There
is still an excess demand - many
points. Costs have altered "a. little,
and the enhanced expense Of living
has made employers feel that it is in
cumbent upon them to maintain
wages, so far as practicable, pending
distinct revision of prices for neces-
saries.
"In some cases It is reported there
Is a tendency to settling down upon
n higher level of prices and higher

some time preceding the war. From
the productive standpoint. conditions
continue satisfactory in most staple
lines. Agriculture, in particular, Is
reported to be in an exceptionally
promising condition.
Farmers In Fine Shape.
1.-The farmer is said to be in the
best financial shape for many years.
In the south he is holding his cotton
for better prices and is marketing his
output conservatively. Excellent crop
prospects are reported. not only from
the cotton region, but also from the
wheat states of the west and from
California. On the Pacific coast the
prospects for excellent crops for the
coming year are exceedingly bright"
This report of the Federal Reserve
Board is compiled from twelve reports
sent in from the twelve Federal
Reserve Districts of the country.
These sectional reports are made
monthly and are careful and ac-
curate presentation of the status OF
business in each district.

Insuring the Children's
Education

One of the most important success
assets and requisites is a good educa-
ton. Every good father desires this
for his children. But goood educa-
ton costs money, and the money, es-
pecially when there are several be-
loved Youngsters In the family, fire.
Quently is needed in inconvenient de-
gree or season. The day of an infants
birth is none too early to begin prep
arations for its educational start in
life.
One Of the best and newest ways of
insuring chilG'J educational rights IS
by means of the War Savings Stamps
system. To set aside a weekly sum
for the special schooling of every en-
bryonic citizen entails little effort, no
sacrifice worth noting, and means the
safe and sure attainment of the de-
sired object. Small sums foot up sur
prisingly, and long before the little
one Is ready for the music lessons,
the course in business English or the
college matriculation the financial de-
pertinent shows satisfactory balance
And to buy War Savings Stamps is
the simplest Of all known saving prop
ositions. 1t literally is almost as easy
as falling Oft log.
Begin now to save for the education
of your children. Organize a War
Savings Society or join one, since the
spirit of competition provides safe
stimulus. It's good patriotism, good
business. 1t won't be long before you'll
be thanking the Government for hav.
ing afforded the War Savings Stamps
opportunity. Children grow up
amazingly fast!

Saving Beats Earning;
Too Bad E.sau Didn't
Live to Enjoy 1t All

II Esau and Jacob, who lived
some six thousand years ago, were
still alive, and IL Esau had earned
$40 every day, and had saved 1t
all, he would have $21,9OO.O0O. On
the other hand. II Jacob had de-
posted 81 at / per cent interest,
compounded every 100 years, he
would have today .$576. 460, 1852, 303,-
423, 4SS. Can anyone figure out how
much Jacob would have had he
purchased one S. War Saving
Stamp then, which pays interest
at the rate of 4 per cent, COM
pounded four times every year?
There Is an idea In all this: How
much would every child have II its
parents should start 1t out with
SIS stamp, and then encourage the
youngsters to save?
