With That Amount Saved For a est
Egg Nothing Is impossible For
a Young Man.

When a man gets $1,000 saved ID
there are always opportunities for a
good investment. It is hard to place
much less than that. That is why
wealthy men who are self-made advise
young men to begin early and save
the first thousand.
Until We went to war. in order to
get $1,000 together one had to 90 to
the bank and put away a little each
month or each week. or tuck part OF
his salary away in an old sock. II
was troublesome to go TO the bank and
the sock was too handy.
Now, however, there Is an easy way
to get that first thousand. The answer
is War Savings Stamps. In them the
government Of the United States back.

WHAT a DOLLAR is WORTH NOW
War Savings Worker Shows II viii
Buy More in Five Years Than
II viii Today.

One OF the telling points being made
by w. R. Jackson, of Mexico, Mo, Di.
rector for Audrain County. In his ad.
dress before War Savings societies. is
the statement Of the value Of a dollar
today as compared with what 1t will
be worth FIVE years hence, when the
present series of War Savings Stamps
mature.
THE dollar saved today will be
worth o than $3.50 then" he said
'Of course, ! refer to the buying pow
er Of the dollar. The conditions that
exist now will have disappeared by
that time. and the normal win have re-
turned. All authorities on economies
agree that present prices cannot be
maintained and that the dollars of
1924 will go much farther, as a pur-
chasing medium, than the dollars spent
today.
History repeats itself. The value
Of all staples immediately following a
war have always been extremely high.
and these values have steadily de.
olined as business conditions readjust
themselves"
The argument is sound and the
saver Of War Savings Stamps may
reasonably expect a much greater re
turn than the interest OF four per cent
compounded quarterly, which is as
sured by the government.

HABITS OF THRIFT
EDUCATORS REALIZE THAT PRAc-
TicAL SAVING IS OF REAL
IMPORTANCE.
BUILD EARLY
Importance Of Saving and Value Of
War Savings Stamps Part Of
Education Nowadays.

Many thoughts Of real value were
developed at the recent Wisconsin
State War Savings Conference at Nil
waukee and these thoughts should
prove Of value to War Savings work
ers everywhere.
J. H. Puehcher, State Director Of
War Savings for Wisconsin. among
other things. said: The fundamental
purpose Of the War Savings movement
as far as the child is concerned is to
inculcate into its very life's blood the
thought Of wise earning and wise
spending. II is not intended that the
money used by children for the pur-
pose Of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps should be the result Of a gift
from parents and others. Money wise
~ earned and wisely spent improves
the individual mentally, morally and.
physically"
P. f.. Neverman, executive secre-
tary, touched on patriotism and thrift
by saying that. while we were at war
It was easy to be enthusiastically pa.
triotic. Wartime patriotism. while
splendid, did not have the staying
qualities so necessary for the finishing
of the job and rapidly declined and in
places disappeared altogether after
November II, 1918. 1t is the peace
time patriotism which delivers with.
out martial music that we must and
will finish the job. We are called to
lay the foundation for the payment Of
the tremendous obligations incurred
by our government during the period
of strife. We must so lnculcate in the
coming generation, those now in
school. the idea OF thrift, that they will
meet the obligations Of their time. Be.
tween these two stands the community
and industrial savings society to re-
inforce the work Of both. II Is vital
to the success Of the movement that
societies be organized in every lodge,
factory, store, Office, club and school
in the state"
Thomas W. Boyce, educational di.
rector for Wisconsin, discussed .'Op
portunity." He showed clearly the
need OF thrift education by quoting
figures demonstrating that out of ev-
cry one hundred men who died, three
leave an estate of $4,000 or over;
fifteen leave an estate of $4,000 to S1O,-
600. and eighty-two leave no income
producing property. OF two hundred
widows. eighteen are in comfortable
circumstances, ~fortyseven are Obliged
TO work for a living and t~hirty-hve are
in absolute want, dependent upon
charity. He quoted facts and figures
showing that the tremendous lndem
nifty imposed upon France by Ger
many in 1870 taught the French to
save and was a blessing in disguise
to that nation.

Leather
Britain Goes After Trade
in Leather BY Lifting
Export Embargo

An indication of the competition that
the United States will have in the
leather markets of the world was pro-
vided yesterday in an announcement
made by the Tanners Council that the
British government had lifted the ex-
port embargo on certain classes of
leather Great Britain, France and
Italy have increased their tanning ca
pacities with war work during the past
few years and it is considered here
that they are in better positions than
ever to offer competition to American
tanners.
At the recent conference between
Norman Hertz, representative of the
Department of Commerce, and promi-
nent New York tanners to consider
Mr.. Hertz's investigation of leather
Great Britain has increased its tan
ming capacity by from 20 to 80 per
cent during the war period.
The classes Of leather which are now
permitted to be exported from Great
Britain include East India tanned
hides and kips, calf leather, Russian
dressed; horse hide leather of all
classes, dressed harness leather, In
cluding bags and case hides; cnameled
and jspanned hides. dressed sheep and
lamb skins of all classes and mineral
tanned sole leather. These feathers
according to the new ruling, may now
be freely exported to all American
countries, to Allied countries and their
colonial possessions and to Spain.
Shipments to neutral countries con-
tiguous to Germany still require
licenses.
Among tanners here it is believed
that the prospect of superior grade
hides being received in this country
from Great Britain arc poor because
England is in need of these hides and
naturally will not permit them to De
exported until home consumption re-
qurements have been taken care OF.
According to reports received IRON
Washington, Great Britain also has re.
moved her import embargo on finished
leather from the Dominion of Canada
All Canadian products, including
leather. are now admitted freely INTO
Great Britain. In cases where Amer
can tanners have branch factories IN
Canada it is assumed that products
of such branch factories will find
market in Great Britain.

UniOnism Forces ReuersiOn
To Small Unit Production
Dress and Waist Makers Moving Factories Away
From Labor Troubles in Metropolitan District
but Leaders Follow Them Into Smaller Towns

establishing one big factory the larg-
er manufacturers establish several
in different towns. Thus they avoid
concentrating large working force
in any one small locality and this
makes it harder for the union to or
ganlze the operators. Again, when
new factory is located in a small
town, the wages offered workers arc
usually higher than they have re-
ccived in other lines of industry in the
sa1fc town and our manufacturers get
the best grade of help, the most in
teligent grade which usually scorns
the union and its agitators. I know
of number Of cases where union agi
tators have been run out Of these
small towns when sent there to or
ganize the workers in the dress and
waist factories"
The Lcrner Waist Company has at
least sixteen factories located in va
r'ous small towns near this city
and the Derby Waist, Inc, is
New York, the latest one being locat-
cd as far away as New HAMPSHIRE
Neither of these large firms has a
single factory in the city Other man
ufacturers have from one to ten or
twelve out of town plants. The main
offices and show rooms are still
maintained in New York, as this is the
buying centre Of the garment trade
but the waists are all made outside
and then shipped to the New York
office and reshiipped to individual Gus
toners. The cheaper rents in the out
lying towns are said to more than off

which this method of manufacturing
entails.
Union leaders assert that they are

as rapidly as possible. They report
that the 200 workers in two factories in
c,ohoes, N. Y, have been brought into
the union. Rumors of contemplated
strike for, more wages and shorter

Sales of Iron and
Steel at Lower Prices
Lack of Shipping Space Acts as
Check ON Export
Business

Reported sales of basic iron at $25
a ton, a reduction of So. nave, accord
ing to "Thc Iron Age" emphasized the
downward tendercy Of steel and iron
prices during the last week. A sim
liar decline in the price of seni-fin-
ishcd steel at $40 delivered to an
Eastern mill is also reported, while in
heavy sheets there have been conces-
sions Of S6 ton from the prices quoted
carly this year.
Merchant pig iron makers have
formally declared against reducing
their prices, unless the way could be
opened by reductions in raw materials
and labor costs.
Leading producers Of steel have held
to the opinion that price reductions at
this time will not produce the desired
revival of buying. They base their
contention on the fact that lower cop
per prices have not brought consumers
into the market, while the spelter
market, with the price below the cost
of well-equipped producers, shows lit
tie activity.
The fact that the government has no
buying programme and thus can give
no practical sanction to steel prices
that may be f:ed is cons idered a seri-
Gus deterrent to the definite settle-
ment of the steel and iron situation.
