INVESTING MADE SAFE
FOR THE SMALL SAVER
War Savings Stamps Minimizing
the Menace Of Fraudulent
Promotions Which Wipe
Out "Ralny Day
Funds"

This II the day. Of the small invest
or. The war opened the eyes of some
100000 Americans to the benefits of
investing In government securities; II
minimixed to the same extent the men,
ace of fraudulent promotions In which
many life's savings have been sunk.
War Savings stamps are making In
vesting safe for the small saver.
There 10 nothing more dishearten-
Ing than to undergo self-denial for
years, to save money and then to see
the rainy day fund wiped out by
the failure Of some wildcat scheme"
says Luman w. Goodenough. director
Of the War Savings Organization for
Michigan.
"Widows and hard-working men are
credulous. They listen to the oily
promises Of 'get-r1ch-Quick' promoters
and hand over their savings to sales
men promising impossible profits.
"When the crash comes the savings
Of years disappear In an instant and
there Is nothing to do but begin life
over again-often at q time when
earning capacity has begun to ebb."
Whatever the temptation for wild
cat" speculation In the past, there Is
no excuse for II now.
Every small investor should realize
that q dollar saved while money Is the
cheapest commodity being offered will
purchase twice as much Of most any
other commodity within four or five
years, so that. In addition to the In
terest that War Savings or other gov
eminent securities yield. the investor
really has earned 100 per cent In the
purchasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw
Ing. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are Inn
pressive.
A great French banker was once
asked the secret Of French thrift, and
he replied, Compound interest"
Just as constant waste. even In little
things, may change ones life from
success to failure, so the steady saw
Ing Of money will eventually bring In
dependence, II not actual wealth.
There are very few persons who
cannot, without any inconvenience
whatever. lay aside 10 cents a day.
Within ten years ones daily saw
ings Of this Insignificant sum will
amount to 1895. In addition to 5000
compound interest. making a total Of
$445.36 to show for ones saving just
10 cents day for ten years.
BY saving Is cents day for ten
years. with interest compounded at
per cent, one will have the comfort
able sum Of $68S.1S; 20 cents day
will net $800.99. Save 80 cents a day
for ten years and there Is $2.227.75. A
dollar day will make total Of 81
455.74 for the ten-year period.
All these figures are based on the
savings being put out at per cent
compound interest. War Savings
stamps yield trife more than 4 per
cent.

Reading The Ads

A noted newspaper publisher said
in an address the other day that a
newspaper or magazine can best be
judged by the character, the quality
and the quantity of its advertising.
There are a class of readers-and
it is no small class at that-which
reads advertisements in a newspaper
or a magazine before giving their at
tention to the reading matter in the
news columns. We know several of
them here in Belding, for on occa-
sions we find subscribers who tell
US that they never. miss anything in
the paper-even to the ads. We be-
lieve that this class of citizens is the
ruling class of the country. There
10 as much or more information in
the advertising columns as in any
other section or department. of the
paper or the magazine. Take the ads
out of the magazines and the public
would consider them as great a fail
ure as the publishers would find them
to be.
To the person who does not read
the ads in the newspaper, let us sug-
gest that you begin doing It. The
news of a special sale at a store or
the arrival of car of hog-teed, the
message of an auto dealer, or One
about groceries, guns or gimlets,
clothing, carpets or capsules-these
things are real news, looked at in the
right way. And not only that-they
are things which save you enough in
the long run to make you glad you
took our advice and read all of the
ads you had a chance to read.

BEAT KNOCKERS
.ISFIRST DUTY
q. c. RILEY, DIRECTOR GENERAL
EXTENSION DIVISION, UNtvER-
sHTY OF FLORIDA, TELLS OF
WORK.

"Our first duty is to run out all
Knockers, build for permanent pros
perity, make Florida the best place
in which to live, and devise the best
means for telling the world what we
have" B. C. Riley, director of the new
general extension division of the Uni
versity of Florida, told the members
of the West Palm Beach Rotary club
at the meeting held at noon Tuesday
at the keystone hotel. Mr.. Riley
came to Florida recently from the
University of Arkansas, where he or
ganized the largest extension division
in the south, with the exception of
Texas.
To make Florida first in agriculture,
first in education first in health and
first in recreation, Mr.. Riley gave as
the goal of the general extension
division of the University of Florida,
which is the third division worthy of
the name in the south and the twenty
eighth in the United States. He gave
examples of how it could be made such
without difficulty and visualized the
Florida of tomorrow.
Florida is the logical leader of the
great southeast. and with her tre-
mendous natural advantages and her
possibilities for trade and commerce.
we can put her in the lead and keep
her there he said. "All we need is
a focalization of effort on a recog-
nized state program by all the people
of the state in this one end. We must
pool our resources aud efforts and we
must have a Well defined plan in
mind.
States, like men, must figure ahead,
and a state whose plan projects far
thest into the future is the most eff
fective. With one purpose and one
idea, let us make Florida the greatest
state in which to live. Florida first
should be our slogan and we can win
by the power of suggestion an eff
cient morale; that is why it is so
necessary to drive every knocker from
the state. If we do this we have pro-
gressed twenty-five years with our
program.
I'VE have put over the idea that
Florida is a good place in which to
spend a vacation and to fish; now we
must put over the idea that Florida
is the only place in which to really
live. Let us put that idea across by
