POST STOOD FOR CENTURIES
Relic Recently Sold in England Is Old
Even as Antiquarians Count
Ages of Things.

Whoever bought the corner post that
once stood near the abbey at Burton
on-Trent, England, when it came up
for sale the other day in London, ac-
quired a venerable curiosity. The post
has been described on good authority
as having been first set up not later
than 1340, and the old building that
once stood beside it, and has been de-
scrihed as "the tall building in the
Market place called the Gareffes," long
since vanished About hundred years
ago somebody took the ancient relic to
the isle Of Anglesey; but in the 184Os
one of the local families Of Importance
purchased it and brought it home to
Burton -on-Trent. Undoubtedly an in
teresting thing to possess, one may
reasonably wonder what the new
owner is going to do with it.-Chris'

OREGON ELKS
TAKE CHARGE
THRIFT WORK
B. P. 0. E. President VIII
Lead Savings Drive for
$5,OOO,OOO.

Sale of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates in the
state of Oregon has been placed
entirely in the hands of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of E1ks. The
agement of the thrift and savings cam
paign as volunteer patriotic service
to the state and nation.
This announcement has just been
made by Harry G. Allen, head of the
Elks' state organization, and G. S.
Jackson, state director of the govern
ment savings organization. It is esti-
mated that existing War Savings So
cieties and school children throughout
Oregon can be counted on to purchase
100000 in War Savings Stamps be-
fore January /, which will leave ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 to be subscribed
through efforts of the fraternal organi-
zation, which has a membership of
$1,000 in the state
Mr. Allen offered the services of the
great fraternal order under authority
gwen state organizations Of the order
at Iu0 HdClOudl CONVENTION III ACldHIlC
City, which adopted resolutions pledg-
ing active support of all members to
the government thrift campaign. He
has obtained leave of absence from his
business and will devote all his per-
sonal efforts for the next four months
to organizing sales forces among the
subsidiary lodges.
During the war; said Mr. Allen,
the order of Elks has felt it privi-
lege to place at the disposal Of our coun-
try the services of it's members. There
were several thousand Oregon Elks un-
der arms, and those of us who were not
privileged to wear the olive drab, the
navy blue or the uniform of the ma
rines, have taken pride in meeting the
responsibilities of war finance and par
ticipating in all other patriotic move
ments."

KAEEN'S COMMON SENSE

Teaching of thrift and increased in.
vestment by the people of America in
government savings securities, War
Savings Stamps, Treasury Certificates
and in savings banks are methods ad.
vocated by Otto H. Kahn of New York
for relieving the economic situation en-
gendered by the high cost of necessi-
ties.
This suggestion by the eminent part
ner Of the firm of Kahn, Loeb & Co.
was made in an open letter to an un-
named government official at Washing
ton. AS a check to waste and certain
forms of useless extravaganza, Mr.
Kahn advocated the establishment of a
federal bureau of salvage which would
instruct the people of the United States
or the possibilities Of recreating wealth
from the scrap heap. He points out
that the government in the last three
years has saved over $500,000,000 in
this manner.

The road to success is no rougher,
>r harder, or more painful than the
road to failure, but there is a differ,
ence; we voluntarily choose to bear the
pains of success, while the pains of
failure are thrust upon us. The pains
of success are mental and physical as
are those of failure
The boy or girl who aspires to sue.
ceed in school pays daily penalty in
the act of resisting the impulses to en-.
joy pleasures of the moment; in fore.
ing the brain to exercise when it is
crying to quit; In doing daily mental
tasks which are just as firing as any
physical labor. The man who succeeds
pays his penalty, too. He must save
when he would like to spend. He must
work when he would like to loaf. He
must be up and doing when he would
like to sleep. He must take kicks and
not kick back. He must assume respon-
sibilities when he dislikes to add to his
burdens. He must be patient when his
nature is to be impatient He must
bring his appetite to reason when 1t
calls to be unreasonable. All of us know
men who want to succeed, but we know
that they cannot because they will pay
the penalties of failure; they cannot
avoid them although they think they
can. They will pay and pay hard. The
penalties of success are suffered for the
most part in early years. The penal
ties of failure are reaped in later years
when the rewards of success are being
plucked.- The Fortuna Magazine.

A so-called philosopher once said:
eff the rich do not spend the poor die
Of hunger
This fallacy was back of conditions
that brought on the French Revolu-
tion. Saving is spending, but it is for
the future rather than for the present
1t causes the production of permanent
goods rather than the mere satisfaction
of transient and temporary pleasures.
The trouble is that people confuse
money with what is back of it. They
see that spending increases trade, but
fail to see that investing money in
creases trade just as much. Perhaps
you never stopped to realize that every
time you deposit dollar in bank or
invest it in some legitimate enterprise
you not only help some to get and keep
job, but useful job. Every dollar
you bank or invest provides work for
somebody.
1t is sometimes said in favor of one
of the larger excesses- jewelry-that
diamonds are good investment. That
is, people think that they will be able
to sell their jewels if they cannot af-
ford to keep them. But aside from the
fact that I don't believe that anyone
ever sold a ring, or pin, or expensive
watch for as much as he or she paid
for it, there is the further fact that
money invested in jewelry earns no in
terest.
Extravaganza brings in no return.
Money saved is not only kept, but it
continues to work for its owner. The
earning power of money which is spent
is given UP for all time. 1t is de-.
stroyed.-How to Get Ahead.

TIE KING
and
THE KID

San Francisco-This ought to be
short story and it's title ought to
be ''The King and the Kid"
The King is Albert of Belgium.
The kid is Richard Siprelle of San
Francisco, eleven years old. The
King had entered his automobile
after his official reception at the
City Hall here and no doubt
thought himself safe, surrounded
as he was by secret service men,
soldiers, and police. Enter the
kid: ieaping on the running board
Of King Albert's machine, he
thrust into the Kings hand a
Thrift Stamp with card on which
to paste it.
King Albert" said the kid to
the King, don't you want Thrift
Stamp?" The boy with his natty
overseas soldiers cap in hand
smilingly awaited his answer The
King took the card and stamp; said
Thank you,' and the incident
in the Kings life and the epic in
the kids life closed then and there
with forward lurch of the auto
mobile, leaving the kid behind.
Il just wanted the King to
know" said Richard, what
chance America gives us Kids to
learn how to save so that when the
King gets back home maybe he
will make Thrift Stamps for Bel
gian kids. The newspapers said
that l wanted two-bits for the
stamp but l didn't. Lam going to
write the King letter and see if
he won't send me his photograph
with his name on it,
Needless to say, Richard Siprelle
is in the movies, so if you see a
picture of the King in his automo-
bile with a kid on the running
board, you will know all about it.

economic laws can bring us back to

to Snve, to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save

Borrowing for non-productive rea-
sons mean bankruptcy"
In the opinion of the best econo-
mists in the United States the peoples
greatest weapon against high prices
is the Governments Thrift and War
Savings Stamps. Every family should
have budget, just as every success
full business has budget. The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly income-not the amount
to be spent. Make what you save
govern the amount you spend, not the
amount you spend govern the amount
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring per
cent interest, compounded/e every three
months. Hit high prices below the
belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
will be worth twice as much five years
from now.

SLAVES OF CHANCE

"The habit of thrift tends to give
clear eyes, good digestion, efficient
muscles Young people, es-
pecially, should economize, always re-
membering that we should have every
thing we really need. 1t is folly to
skimp in eating for the sake of saving,
or to wear dowdy raiment. Have what
you need, but do not buy things you do
not need. But there is joy in going
without things-a fine tang in elimi-
mating the superfluOus.
Loving labor and thrift go hand in
hand. He who is not thrifty is slave
to circumstance. Fate says, Do this
or starve,' and if you have no surplus
saved up you are the plaything of
chance, the pawn Of circumstance, the
slave Of some ones caprice, leaf in

NOW AND THEN

What is a dollar? Foolish ques-
t1on-you say? Not at all these days
of H. G. L. and profiteering. Ger
tainly dollar isn't what it was ten
years ago. 1t isn't what it will be
five years from now.
A dollar is what you can get for
1t in beans, butterflies, or bunk-no
more or no less. A dollar wouldn't
be worth anything if you couldn't get
anything for it.
Zen years ago you bought, we'll
say, bunk at one dollar a share. Now
bunk costs two dollars a share. That
doesn't mean that bunk has doubled
IN value. 1t means that your dollar
Is worth half what it was ten years
ago.
This is, therefore, not the time to
spend your dollars. They will bring
you only half what they are worth.
This is the time to save them.
They will bring more later on.
Ihat is the history of dollars. Values
run in cycles. AS sure as you are
living five years from now a dollar
will be worth more than it is now,
probably twice as much. So when
you save dollar now you are really
saving two dollars. Treat dollars as
you would any other commodity. Buy
them when they are cheap.
Stick every dollar you can into War
Savings Stamps now. Carrying per
cent interest compounded ouarterlv a
War Savings Stamp bought this
month for $4.20, will be worth five
dollars January l., 1924. By 1924
the dollar will be worth twice as
much as it is SO you will really have
ten dollars for the $4.19.
