THRrF.

The y. S. Treasury Department
in urging the purchase Of U. s.
Saving Certificates sends out argu-
ments proving that saving is worth
while. We know that II is. We
reproduce this editorial for the bene-
fit of those who may be wonder
ing how to start saving or how to
safely invest that which they have
already saved.
Eating Ones Cake.
Long ago the observation was
made that one can not eat his cake
and have II too Neither time nor
circumstances has diminished lin one
whit the truthfulness and signifi-
canoe Of its import. II one spends
all that he makes there is nothing
left. Spending uncurbed and undi-
rected, will eat away the cake of
savings, and rapaciously devour the
contents Of the pay envelope.
Most dollars spent now pay for
sixty cents value or, stated another
way, articles that cost a dollar
three or four short years ago now
cost 81 40. Things move in cycles.
Within three, four or five years
from now, the purchasing power of
the dollar will have again risen.
The question everyone should de-
cided for himself when it comes to
spending, is whether the article
which will cost him $40 now or
only a dollar five years from now,
is worth It. Spent today that dol
lar has only sixty cent purchasing
power; saved and spent FIVE years
from now II will have hundred
cent purchasing power. and the
owner will have the interest II
has made for him II he has wisely
invested i in War Savings Stamps
for instance
Those who now form the habit
OF getting one or more War Saw
ings Stamps at the postoffice each
pay day will soon have good cause
to congratulate themselves upon the
exercise Of good judgment and long
headedness. Too many people in
slst they can not save because they
fail to analyze their expenditures
and know exactly where their money
is going. These people, II they will
be frank with themselves, will find
after a few days use Of pencil and
paper In keeping track Of their ex-
penditures that they can easily add
to their interest-bearing War Saw
ings Stamps collection every month.
Saving is decidedly worth while
A personal reserve fund is necessary
II can be had only by saving
