get. When the income is ap-
proximately known in advance, it
is possible at the beginning of the
year to apportion it to different
uses, and to include in that ap-
portionment specific weekly
saving to be placed in the bank.
Two families living side by side
and apparently in the same gen
raj style may at the end Of the
year show the difference Of q
good savings account for one and
nothing but unpaid bills for the
other. One has lived systematl-
cally and carefully. The other has
spent without thought.
Today the savings accounts IN
the United States, according to
figures quoted at the bankers
convention, amount to almost the
incredible sum Of $10,573,971,00
which is approximately an aver
age Of 800 per individual or $500
per family, if we reckon families
as consisting Of five persons each.
The annual interest on these ac-
counts is $400,000,000 or 500 to
the family, the great bulk OF
which is added to the savings ac-
counts and not drawn out for eX-
penditure.
This war lesson Of the posi-
bility and the desirability of saw
ing money and not living up the
full amount Of our income, no
matter how inadequate that in
come seems to be, should remain
with us. If it does, we shall be a
happy and more prosperous peo-
pie, individually and collectively.
We shall feel more Independent
and being so we shall be better
citizens. The savings account is a
bulwark of individual freedom
which every man and every wom-
an should erect.-St. Louis Globe
