ISN'T 1T TRUE?

What is nickel worth?
OF and by itself not much, you may
think
Nevertheless, a nickel SAVED gives
you, without waiting, the interest earn
ings of a whole dollar for whole year.
And a nickel WASTED means dollar
put in an old sock, hidden away, made
useless for at least 365 days.
saving is the foundation of thrift.
Thrift stops waste, increases wealth
and builds prosperity.
These are some of the things the
War Savings division of the Ninth Dis
trict War Loan Organization is trying
to impress upon the people of this and
other Northwest communities through
general publicity and the organization
of War Savings societies.
These thoughts make us who have
had little respect for nickels and dimes
and dollars stop and think. 1t should
make US take a personal inventory and
decide if there are not ways i'm which
we can save. 1t should make US cut
out some personal aste and put the
result into Uncle Sans stamps.
This thinking in interest and the saw
ing Of money leads to endless and help
ful reflection.
For example, if every person in the
United States saved only one magnifi-
cant, little nickel in one day by doing
without some useless and perhaps
harmful thing, what would it amount
to?
1t would mean that at night on that
day the people of the United States
would be just Five Million Dollars
richer.
Suppose the people keep this up for
me short month. What would that
mean?
1t would mean that at the end of
that thirty days the people of the
United States would have saved One
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars.
Ahio ''OoAO NC SIChCp ouo AOt
keep it up for the rest of 1919? The
result of this combined and continued
saving would be that we, the people of
the United states, would have saved
for investment, between now and jan
uary lst. over One Billion, Five Hun
dred Million Dollars
This immense sum- if invested in
War Saving Stamps, would, earn for us
savers approximately sixty-four Mill
ion Dollars in 1920. This would have
been done without a single sacrifice,
with hardly an effort and all from a
nickel savings.
Just think of the result if individual
saving and investment were carried in
to dollars and hundreds of dollars, as it
should be.

The spiral cut gears make it run
so easy that practically no exertion is

Dear Folks:
have had one OF the best times OF
my life since coming to AK Les Bains
and have seen so many old hostoric
places, / can hardly remember them
all. Arrived here a week ago and
have been on the go every day see
ing the sights. This town is just
beautiful as you can Judge from the
postcard | am sending along with this
letter.
Today is Monday and we leave here
for our division again on Wednesday,
so you see l still have two days left
OF my furlough. Will be kind OF glad
tc get back as l don't get my mail
here and letters from home are a big
factor in this life.
This town Is surrounded by noun
tains and the peaks are covered with
snow Makes one shiver TO look at
them. Am going up on one this after
noon and IL it is clear l will be able
to see Mt, Blanc in Italy.
Saturday went up to Chambrey,
but don't like that town near as
well as this one. although the scenes
are just as beautiful there. Went
through an art museum there, and the
paintings and statues were beyond
description.
Friday | was out to an old Abbey
called the "Hautcombe Abbey" and
tnen | saw the tombs OF generation
after generation OF kings and queens
and princesses OF Italy. This Abbey
belongs to the king OF Italy, and his
ancestors and relations are buried
there 1t also had many beautiful
paintings and statues. The ceilings
were covered with paintings by the
painter Vacca. There were pictures
OF the Lords Supper" and other
Incidents OF the last years OF Chrlsts
life. The Abbey was started I'm 1926
and completed In 1885, so you can inn
agine its size and also the age of
the paintings. II is located on the
largest lake in France, called Lake
Bourget We went to the Abbey in
small steamer.
Then | was up on one OF the noun
tains and saw "Hannibal's Pass"
where Hannibal led his army through
the Alps in an attack on Rome in
21s b. c.
Just think have seen the things
used to study about in ancient his
tory.
Thursday | visited the "gorges"
which are formed by the mountain
streams washing through the rocks
forming canons hundreds OF feet
deep. In one place there is a monu-
ment in memory OF a baroness who
slipped on the rocks and was washed
away by the waters and whose body
was never recovered This happened
in 1913. and the monument was plac-
ed there then. imagine this place Is
similar TO the Colorado canon.
