New Highlander Pioneer in Scheme
Of Conserving Water for Use
in Summer Months.

Present-day interest In the develop
ment OF water power has recalled a
modest. old-fashloned episode In the
history of New England when, some
time in the forties. Judge Nathan Cros-
by drove round Lake Wlnnepesaukee
in his carriage and made rough calcu-
lations of the effect upon local agri-
cultural land If the lake level we're
raised few feet. Out of that car
riage ride grew plan by which Lakes

and others have since been used as
storage basins, conserving water for
the summer months, and thus becom-
ing modest pioneers OF the more i'm
pressive plants for water utilization
that will doubtless be feature OF the
United Suites In the not distant fu-
ture. Judge Crosby, however, may
have had no more idea Of the trans
mission of water power in the form
of electricity than his buggy had OF

STATE TREASURER
ADVISES INVESTING
MONEY IN W.S.S.

Two big reasons why every per-
son should invest in War Savings
Stamps are given by John w. Ba-
ker, State Treasurer of Texas who
was County War Savings Chairman
in the 1918 campaign. Here is what
he says:
Thrift is the foundation upon
which success is built. Thcse who
save succeed.
THE people who take advantage
this year of the opportunity offered
them in the Government Savings
campaign to acquire the habit OF
saving sanely and spending wisely
through the purchase of War Saw
ings Stamps will be building for fu'
ture prosperity and power. Thrift
is power.
Intelligent saving looks to future
wise spending and is therefore, post
poned enjoyment with interest.
United States Government War
Savings Stamps are the best and
safest securities that money will buy
Those Treasury Bonds pay four Der
cent interest, compounded every three
months. They increase constantly IN
value and thai constant increase is
guaranteed by the Government.
There are two big reasons why
every person should save and inVest
In w S. S. First, it is to every
ones financial interest to become the
owner OF as many War Savings
Stamps as ne can acquire. Second
