DON'T CASH WAR STAMPS
BEFORE THEY ARE DUE
Means Throwing Away Persons Saw.
ing and Running an Excellent
Investment.

Every holder of a Wal Savings
Stamp certificate should examine
carefully the table of interest payment
on the back of the card. John H.
Meyering, director of organization for
the central committee, called atten.
ton to the table today and pointed
out that while the stamp bought for
$4.13 this month increases in value
one cent a month until Dec. 81, 1923,
that brings it to a value Of only SAT-
on that day. Blu the next day, Jan
uary l, 1924, when the stamp is pay
able, the wner gets SIS for it. The
over night from December 81. 1923,
to January l. 1924. This amounts
practically to one-third Of the entire
interest payment, but this final third
is never received by persons who cash
in their stamps at the postofflce be.
fore they fall due.
"Cashing in War Savings Stamps
now is not only throwing away a per.
sons savings, Is running an excellent
Investment by seriously damaging the
rate of interest payment said Mr..
Meyering. 1T is that final 20 cents
added to the value of the stamp that
makes it a good investment.
Even more dangerous than losing
the interest is the scattering of care,
full saving. The man who could ave
$4.12 to s4.23 in any month last year
is seldom forced to have the money
back today. Unless he must have the
money back it is a mistake for him
to change the stamp, where his saving
is safeguarded, into the form of cash
It's too easy to spend loose change
The whole history Of savings shows

WHERE SANTA WAS BORN
How He Came to Be Known rs
the Children's Friend.

Very many years ago there lived in
Russia nobleman and his wife, who
had little son named Klaus. He was
such good boy that everyone used to
call him Saint Klaus. In course Of
time his parents died and left him a
large fortune, moi the least part OF
WHICH was three large bars of gold.
Saint Klaus one day happened to be
passing house, and overheard a
father telling his daughters that he
had lost all his money, and that he
didn't even know how he was going
to buy food for them. This worried
Saint Klaus very much. and he won
dered how he could help them. So
that night he took one of the bars of
gold and threw it through the window.
The next night he threw the second
bar, and crepl quietly away, but on
the third night when he was about to
throw the third bar, the man who
had lost all his money came out and
caught him. He tried to thank Saint
Klaus for his goodness to him and his
daughters, but Saint Klaus told him
to pay his thanks to God. whose serv-
ant he was.
And there, boys and girls, you have
the story of Saint Klaus Cor Santa
Claus as we call him).

J. @. Emery on the Bond Issue.

4 Ns
Mr.. j. @. Emery of Albion has, upon
request of Judge E. Ray Stevens for
his views on the bond issue for high
way purposes in Dane county, written
letter, parts of which we take pleas
ure in printing below:
You want to know my views relative
to the proposed bonding of Dane county
for the purpose of constructing state
and county trunk highways, of con-
crete, gravel, etc. My views on this
subject are the result of not a little
careful thought.
Good roads cost great deal these
times: but good roads are worth a
great deal these times, worth great
deal more to citizens of Dane county
than their cost.
/ vote eyes" for bonding Dane county
for the proposed construction Of good
roads, because I think the present gen.
GRAFTON have been so long and so Sc
verely afflicted with miserably poor
roads that they are entitled to enjoy
some of the benefits of good roads be-
fore shutting off this mortal coil. i
For about three score years and ten
| have known by personal observation
and experience the abomination of the
poor roads of Dane county. The meth
DDS and practices OF the past, except
in very recent years, in the So called
construction of highways, have been
the most wasteful and extravagant of
any public expenditures in this state.
within my observation; and | have
spent sixteen years in the state capitol
as an administrator of state law, where
/ had an opportunity to observe the
methods of expenditure of public funds.
For the first time in our history the
voters OF Dane county have presented
to them comprehensive plan for con-
secutive years for road construction.
Instead of the past haphazard, hit or
miss, hand to-mOuth practices, year
after year, we have offered to us a
we'll considered plan prepared by COM
petent experts, for constructive work
from year to year, for the next five
years, when the completion of this
splendid system of state and county
trunk highways should be reached.
Meanwhile, the towns as units being
relieved from the construction and up
keep of the much used trunk highways,
can direct their efforts to the improve
ment of the less used highways making
connections with the trunk highways,
thus affording every citizen ready ac-
cess to good roads.
Following the old practices, we should
expend nearly or quite as much money
in The next twenty years, and in The
end have the cause for poor roads as in
the past.
We have been spending our millions
and billions freely to make the "world
safe for democracy" that is, to i'm
prove the old world conditions of living.
| vote to expend few million dollars
to make Dane county highways safe
for business and neighborly communi-
cation; in other words, to improve the
conditions of living for the citizens of
Dane county.
To have these benefits, we, the tax
payers of Dane county, must pay for
them. Others will not pay for them
and give them to US. But the plan
proposed wisely provides for extending
the payments over series of years, so
that those who are to come after as
and share the benefits of these per-
manent improvements, may also share
| in their cost of construction.
