URGES THRIFT TO,

Lewis Says People Should In.
vest Savings in Government,
Securities.

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 in
their every day living and help
put a stop to the orgy of spend
ing that is now sweeping this
country. This is the belief Of
William Mather Lewis, director
of Savings, Treasury Depart
ment.
Gov. Criticism Would Disappear.
Mr.. Lewis is also firmly convinced
that much Of the unjust criticism nov
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 woulG
naturally make them more interested
in government affairs, and would oe'-
tainly act to counteract much of the
Bolshevick propaganda now being
spread throughout this country. The
man who owns a $50 or 800 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 a year
Mr.. Lewis believes that the un-
rest in the United States today is
mainly bred by people who own no
property or who have savcd nothing.
If the people of New England and
the rest OF the country will lend
their aid to the National Thrift Cam
lpaign and observe the three great
points of this movement. careful buy.

GIRLS BUY $500 FUR COATS
ON SALARY OF SIS A WEEK
E~xtravagant 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 to
light that many young people
who have incomes sometimes as
low as $15.00 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 oma 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 Il week basis. These
coats cost from 1925 to $500 and in
this insurance Office they We're pur-
chased by girls earning probably
$500 a week or less. Some of the
girls will be paying on their fur coats
for three or four years. By such
reckless extravaganza as this the
prices of nxuries are made to soar
and to some extent the prices of ne
cessities.
If these girls had been more con-
siderate in their spending, and Ahad
thereby saved part Of their income
and placed it in such securities as
War Savings Stamps or Treasury
Savings Certificates, ii would not
only help them, but it would tend to
reduce the present high cost OF liv-
Ing in this country.
Leading ~financiers have brought
out the fact that if the present eco
nomic crisis this country is now pass
ing through is to be shortened in
duration, the people must be more
thrifty in their everyday living.

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
cur work. have less to ave and less
to spend in the future. Wise spending
means that we think before we spend,
but We wisely hold some money for
tomorrow or next month or nexi
year or for unforeseen emergencies.
Thrift takes you up the ladder
waste brings you down. Buy War Sa-
wings Stamps.

BREEDERs SHOULD oRGAN1zE

"A lew weeks ago an article appear
ed in The World in which the farmers
of this county who are breeding pure
bred stock were urged to get togethef
and form a pure bred stock breeders
association. This was urged on the
ground that it would be a general ben
eft to them to form such an associa-
ton for the purpose of cooperation
for both advertising, buying and SELL
ing purposes In the last issue of the
Farmers Mail and Breeze is an ex-
ce1lent article showing the benefits
which have been derived by a similar
organization by the farmers of Lyon
county, the first paragraph of which
is here quoted:
Ownership of SIC, 900 bull has be-
come a reality to group of Lyon
county dairymen and business men
who have organized a live stock inn
provement company capitalized at
| $4,000. This company has been in
operation almost a year Dairying is
in its infancy in this county, but re
| markable strides have been made in
the past few years. This last dairy
project is but one of series, each of
which has pushed the dairy industry
notch further to the front and wild
ened the interest in this line of animal
/ production
While this paragraph and the asso-
citation referred to deals with dairy
cattle only, an organization such as
we are urging for the breeders Oh
Trego county could handle eithe1
dairy or beef cattle or both of then
for that matter. The only thing
necessary is the organization and the
cooperation. 1t will pay the breeders
| of pure bred live stock in this count,
to read the article referred to ane
