WORKING AND SAVING
Now lmperatively Necessary II Ma
ton Is to be Steered From 6hoAis
Of Hardship.

Perhaps at no other time In this
nations history is the appeal Work
and Save so necessary as at present.
Manufacturers, financieYs, economists
and many others, including the conser-
vative labor leaders, realize that I'M
less we work and work hard, and save
and save hard, we are headed Tor a
period of unprecedented hardship.
This is not the mere mounting OF
lingo or professional pessimist. It
is a fact and is supported by innu-
merable signs everywhere. Every
hour wasted and every dollar spent
needlessly is like dagger thrust at
the heart OF this country. Enough at
these dagger thrusts win finally
reach the heart itself
The fact that we are e1tzaordt thar
lily rich furnishes no immunity from
ultimate disaster If we waste these
riches The thing to do Is tor each
and every one Of Us TO pun IN the
same direction, towards national
economy. Without 1t we are lost
With it we can assure our national
future Odd Lot Review.
