WARNING FROM A GAINES
VILE READER.

I, God we trust, has shown by the
spirit of e. ]. Jones. a great dis
truction, which will reach over the
land soon.
This destruction will be either ten
or twenty times greater than in
fluenza, a part Of it will be by tor
nadoes and storms, the other part
will pierce the people Of the land as
they draw their breath.
It is very necessary that we claim
part in Christ to brighten our way
as we have become an abomination
before our God.
The third part of this grade dis
truction will be a great war. We
think we have seen hard times, but
we've never seen it.

that Of the Welsh miners; they have
demanded n six-hour day, full wages
out of state funds for the miners re-
leased from the army and not absorbed
in the mines and 30 per cent advance
over their present wages.
It is not only the workmcn who arc
affected hosts Of small and large
manufacturers have been on war work,
either on what we would call the cost
plus" basis, or at fixed prices which
insured profit. These men have not
had to count pennies through all these
years; whatever they made was already
sold, and by no known method could
they lose money. Just as the miners
and workers generally are asking
the government to continue to borrow
money and promote artificial peace in
dustry, so are the smaller manufacture
ers asking for the same royal road to
prosperity. They say that the old
economic idea that public credit could
not sustain war has proved false; the
nation has financed war without the
gold standard, so why not finance peace
in quite the same way and have plenty
of work for every one and forever?

ANY scheme to promote thrift
must, in the first place, make it at
tractive and then feasible for the
great number of employed. 1t is my
belief that such a scheme could
+ ore fully succeed if supported not
only by those who employ labor but
by the organizations of labor as
we'll. 1t must be handled by an or
panization which shall be, in a
sense, nationwide. For such an or
ganizaton to succeed there must be
that incentive of possible profit and
at the same time an ultimate posi-
bility that will make it a business
proposition.
"The results Of this widespread
irculcation of the thrift idea can
hardly be summarized in few
words. Increased purchasing power
is but one, but it is of extreme
Importance. 1t follows that, with
the inevitable reduction of prodi-
gality, productive effort will in
crease, automatically stopping short
of the point Of overproduction."
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-03-02

In order to overcome the natural
competition between them, saving
should be made a buying process
and should be so easy as to be auto
matte. The thrift idea must be sold
must be sold just like household
furnishings or personal ornaments. "

Knox Motors Company. of Spring

necessity may be made permanent
only by a system convenient, accessi-
bic and attractive to the wage-earn-
er, and also giving constant solicita-
ton and solicitation by men who
have more than a mercenary inter
est in their work. but who are never
theless kept at it by regular compen-
sation. believe such a system to
be not only highly desirable, but al
most essential.

While the shops are full Of luxury
articles descended from pre-war times,
they are short of anything which one
really needs. 1t is far easier to buy n
silvcr-titted dressing case than a
woollen shirt and bead bag than a
solid leather one And as for getting
any repairs done, that is out Of the
question:; trousers go Impressed and
watches unmendcd; when the laundry
leaves no one even ventures guess
as to when it may return or what as
sortment of articles the laundry may
allot. Coal is rationed and extremely
hard to get at any price; electric light
and gas arc consequently ratloned, and
Of course beef, mutton. sugar and but
ter arc to be had only on cards. In
fact, there is shortage of nearly
everything that normal human being
wants and surplus OF those things
which he does not want if he is pursu-
ing an -tenored way

Habit of Saving Can Best Be
Perpetuated by Commercial
Organizations Always on
Job, Leaders Say

Can the conventional savings banks
and building and loan societies in
their traditional form take over the
work of government loan workers
when their task is done, and is it
desirable that they should? Much of
the circus side of the nations war
finance was perhaps superfuous. Ex-
actly how far the loan campaigners
overstepped the needs of the occasion
is a question of mass psychology
which has not yet been answered.
1t might be argued that the best
way to make the saving habit per-
manent would be through q series of
popular campaigns conducted with
due notifications after the fashion
of the Liberty Loan drives. Perhaps
it would. But would the nation,
lacking the stimulus of acute ma
tional need halt it's industries dur
ing thrift campaign? Would work
ers and employers in thousands Of
instances give up their regular toll?
Would newspapers without stint turn
over their precious white space to
the drives? Perhaps. But the best
judgment is that they would not.
The men who contributed ideas to
this discussion concurred that to
make thrift lasting in America it
would be necessary to lift the sub
ject-or, if your prejudices are the
other way, pull it down-out of the
amateur, volunteer stage, and place
1t on commercial basis, giving Ger
tain groups in the community the
Incentive Of profit TO drive them to

both the objections to individual ac-
counting, to pay envelope deduction
and to placing the employer in the
position of a savings institution.

The Thrift Bond Corporation pays

TINT per cent ought TO be paid the
small savers. Referring to the thrift
bond iden, he says TINT he Ia not Ger
tain that it meets the problem, cN-
planning: "ln n large part of this
country the savings banks have
well settled rate Of interest at 4 per
cent. ! am not convinced that
bond put out to induce savings would
fill the requirements fully unless its
rate should be equivalent to the in
terest paid by the savings banks. No
doubt bonds at less rate would find
some market, but while a 3 per cent
bond some years ago might have
been the best rate which could be
offered under the circumstances, |
cannot but feel that, with present
and prospective high interest rates
on securities, it is possible to put
out a thrift bond at the per cent

they cannot consider until the restric-

ing that these restrictions shall be re-

the problem of dramatizing n
