LET'S CLEAN HOUSE.

There are already too many Bolshevists
of one or another sort in the United
States. Why is it that more of them
are not deported? On this point the
New York Times says:
''It must be remembered that aliens
who have been convicted of offences
against the Government, also many sus-
poets who have been proved undesirable,
have not been deported as the law re-
quires. This scandalous Incidence of JUS
tice is well known in Europe, and it is a
reason why the European Bolsheviki re-
gard America as the land of opportunity
for them, the soil in which to sow their
poisonous seed"
Let US have done with leniency toward
the dastardly plotters who wish to Rus
sianize America. There is, or ought to
be, no room for them in republic whose
basic principle is wholly hostile to the
abominable tyranny which the Bolshe-
wiki advocate. -PTovidence Journal

PEOPLE SAVE, MONEY

"How can l save money, gosh,
it costs me all [ can get hold of
to live decently in these days of
high prices" How often now-a-
days do we hear this in every
day conversation. Is it true that
in these times Of high prices il
is impossible to save money ?
Let the thousands of people in
New England who are at this
present time saving money an
sWer this question. They will
say, one can save money despite
the high cost of living.
Reports received by Mrs. c. r. Bur
lingame, Statistical Department of the
Savings Division, First Federal Re
serve District show that for the cur
rent year up to October 1, the people
of New England have saved alone in
Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates the
amount of s6,924,45S.02. During this
time millions of dollars have flowed

New England-and then people will
say 81 can't save money in these days
of high prices"
Another factor which shows that a
large number of the people of New
England are grouping themselves to-
gether for the express purpose of be-
ing thrifty is shown by the fact that
$500 War Savings Societies have been
established in these states to date
in the little state of Rhode Island
which has 1925 of these societies, the
members of them have boosted the
sales of Government securities up to
the amount of $945,412. 46.
Not only are the people of New
England learning to save money, but
people throughout the country, de-
spite high prices, are today investing
large amounts of money in Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. Recent

If the people of New England
and the rest of the country are
to lend their aid in shortening
the present economic crisis this
country is now passing through
they must be more thrifty il

ment.
Gov. Criticism Would Disappear.
Mr. Lewis is also firmly convinced
that much of the unjust criticism now
being hurled against this government
would rightly disappear if the people
would take more interest in their
government and invest their savings
in such safe securities as Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates.
He explains that the partnership in
the government so established would
naturally make them more interested
in government affairs, and would cor
tainly act to counteract much of the
Bolshevick propaganda now being
spread throughout this country. The
man who owns $50 or s1OO share
in his government, says Mr.. Lewis
will not be eager to try t. overthrow
it. At the present time if we were
to get the people to save ten percent
of what they earn to-day profiteers
could be put out of business in year
MI. Lewis believes that the un-
rest in the United States today is
mainly bred by people who own no
property or who have say d nothing.

the rest of the country will lend

The Thrift Stamps which sell for

proving a popular medium of invest

Then again, War Savings Stamps
whose face value is SIS at maturity
are also owned by many of the chill

new Treasury Savings Certificates
whose face value is $100 and $1,000
are now in popular demand by the

Extravagant Spending on Part of Thought
less People is Boosting the H.C.L.

In these days when every
thinking person from President
Wilson down, is advocating that
the people of this country be as
thrifty as possible in their every
day living, the fact comes tc
light that many young people
who have incomes sometimes as
low as $500 per week are spend
ing their money foolishly and ex-
travagantly for unneeded lux
uries.
-Four Years to Pay for Coats
1t was in Hartford, Connecticut,
that a woman representative of one
of the stores reported that she took
orders for $50 fur coats from girl
employees of one insurance company
on a dollar a week basis. These
coats cost from $125 to $500 and in
this insurance office thew were pur-
chased by girls earning probably
$500 a week or less. Some of the
girls will he paying on their fur coats

reckless extravaganza as this the
prices of Injuries are made to soar
and to some extent the prices of ne
cessiGes.
If these girls had been more con-
siderate in their spending, and had
thereby saved part of their income
and placed it in such securities as
War Savings Stamps or Treasury
Savings Certificates, it would not
only help them, but it would tend to
reduce the present high cost of iv-
ing il this country
Leading tinanciers have brought

Flowers and their Message

The November number of the Star in

terest:
MAINE STATE PRISON
Warden's Office
Thomaston, Oct. 4, 1919
Mrs. Annie M. Frost. Belfast, Me.
Dear Mrs. Frost Yours of recent date
asking for copy of the note sent to the
W c. 7. U. of Rockland and Thomaston
for the inmates of this institution is at
hand and herewith enclose the same.
For several years the ladies of the W.
c. T. U. of Rockland and Thomaston
have made it a point to furnish flowers
for the inmates of our State Prison at
Ihomaston for one Sabbath in the sum-
nler, thus bringing cheer and hopefulness
to the unfortunate. These expressions
OF interest and thoughtfulness have been
appreciated more, perhaps, than many
have realized. | think it safe to say that
never have they been more fully appre-
clated than this year, and it is certain
that Sunday, August 10th, 1919, will
stand out as a red letter day in more
ways than one, for on that day every
inmate not only had beautiful bouquet
of flowers, but all at the chapel service
l70-had the pleasure of listening to Miss
Lucy Hutchins, parole officer for Middle
sex County, Mass, who told of her work
for the Is years she had filled that po-
sition
On the following Monday p. m. there
were placed on the chaplain's desk the
following lines, composed by one of the
inmates, and they express the feelings of
many, if not all.
FLOWERS FROM A FRIEND
They're Just bunch of flowers
That smell of Gods pure air;
I'm sure the ones who picked them
Have hearts that are pure and fair,
And filled with Christ's forgiveness
For His strayed sheep everywhere.
Your tokens. friends, will gladden.
These hearts that are full of woe,
And tighten, some, the burden
We mortals often know.
1t will make the cross seem lighter
And perhaps the heart won't grieve.
Knowing the road now brightens
With hearts ready to forgive,
Wen treasure then the flowers, friends,
And at night when lights are low,
Well sing a song of gladness
And not dirge of woe.
Trusting you will pardon the seeming
delay in sending this note, | remain, with
best wishes for you and yours,
Respectfully,
H. W. NORTON, Chaplain

WISE SPENDING AS FOUNDATION
(By Secretary of Treasury Glass;

Wise spending is the foundation of
intelligent saving. We must spend to
live, just as we must work to earn.
If we spend foolishly, we get less for
our work, have less to save and less
to spend in the future Wise spending
means that we think before we spend,
but we wisely hold some money for
year or for Unforeseen emergencies
Thrift takes you up the ladder
waste brings you down. Buy War Sa-
