CAN CHOP OVERHEAD

We joined with glee to celebrate
the birthday anniversary OF Wash
ington, who, when boy, chopped
down his fathers cherry tree. and
later, though but still youth, sur
veyed the trackless forest waste,
and always practiced simple truth
In every project he embraced. Then
when the Revolution broke out
George stepped bravely to the fore
and threw aside our foreign yoke,
and saw us safely through the war.
No adjectival flourish here could
tell in full his epic life, but this we
know and hold it dear, he won our
nations primal strife; he fought,
he built, he sagely taught, he loved
this land of liberty, and what his
sacrifice then bought is handed on
to you and me. To him we owe I'M
lying debt, to keep our nations
honor bright, and emulate him so
that yet we travel holding Free
iom's light; we cannot all chop
cherry bark, but we can chop the
overhead" and, cutting out some
costly lark, buy w. S. S. instead.

Law To Compel Aliens To Lear
English.

Law To Compel Aliens To Learn
English.
The bill by Senator Kenyon, OF
Iowa, to compel Americanization by
educating illiterate and aliens In the
English language has passed the u
s. Senate by vote of thirty-six to
fourteen. The bill carries an ap-
preparation of $6,500,OO0, which is
to be expended by the federal gov
eminent in cooperation with the
several states, through the bureau OF
education.
The measure is an outcome of the
investigation by subcommittee
headed by Senator Kenyon of the
conditions in the steel districts short
ly after the commencement of the
late steel strike. When the sub
committee visited the homes of the
steel workers and the percentage Of
illiteracy among the workers. especi.
ally those of foreign birth, was found
to be alarmingly high.
The bill requires all citizens OF
the United States of 16 to 81 years
of age, not mentally or physically
disqualified, and all alien residents
between the ages of 6 and As who
cannot speak, read or write English
to attend school not fewer than 200
hours year.
The measure requires that the
sum appropriated be apportioned
among the states in ratio to the num-
Der of resident illiterates, providing
however, that the state appropriate
an equal sum for the same purpose
Not less than $4,000 would be allot-
| ted to one state in any year.
In the closing speech on the bill
Senator Kenyon said:
"Our purpose is to do something
you cannot accomplish by deporta-
tions. You may deport your Gold
mans and Berkmans, but you cannot
deport ideas. We must combat with
ideas. It is strange that the strong.
est opponents of Bolshevism ON this
floor should be the most persistent
antagonists of education. Only edu-
cation can meet the doctrines of the
| l. w. WIS and the Bolshevists. We
want to meet the gospel of despair
with the gospel of hope. We want
to meet the falsehood with truth and
the alien-born can only understand
the principles of our govrnment thru
education"
He said that statistics showed
there are 100000 people in the
United States who cannot read OF
write the English language.

SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uncle Sam Provides Protection for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes to
Lay Aside Part of Earnings.

This Is the day of the small inves.
tor. The war opened the eyes Of some
50,000,000 Americans to the benefits
of investing in government securities !;
it minimized to the same extent the
menace of fraudrAent promotions ip
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are max.
ing investing safe for the small saver.
Every small investor should realize
that dollar saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much of almost any
other commodity within four or five
years, so that, in addition to the in.
terest that War Savings or other gov
eminent securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw.
ing. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are i'm.
pressive.
A great French banker was once
asked the secret of French thrift, ana
he replied, Compound interest" Just
as constant waste, even in little
things, may change ones life from
success to failure, so the steady saw.
ing of money will eventually bring
independence, If not actual wealth.
There are very few persons who
cannot, without inconvenience, lay
aside 10 cents a day. Within ten
years ones daily savings of this in.
significant sum will amount to 1865,
in addition to $80,36 compound In.
terest, making total of $445.36.
BY saving Is cents a day for ten
years, with interest compounded at 4
per cent, one will have the comfort
able sum Of se6S1S; 20 cents day
will net $S90.99. Save so cents a day
for ten years and there is $2.22T.75.
A dollar day will make total OF
$4,d55.74 for the ten-year period.
All these figures are based on the
savings being put out at per cent
cors2ound interest War Savings
Stamps yield more than 4 per cent.

HOW SAVINGS HABIT
HELPS EVERYBODY
Money Invested This Year In Thrift
Stamps Returns In Five Years
Vastly Increased.

On New Years day 1923, there will
begin remarkable series OF divi
lend payments to American people
Hundreds Of millions Of dollars OF

terest.
These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can this money
the product OF thrift, be mobilized for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department to
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there is a wide range OF
thrift institutions that will take
charge of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings. AS
the government plans to borrow by
general education OF thrift in every
kind, so the banks and thrift institu
lions can aid the government by en-
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One Of the first steps to be taken by
bankers is that of spreading informa
ton about banks, life insurance, build
ing and loan associations, federal farm
loans, and all other thrift institutions
The best way to meet Uncle Sans
borrowing needs is to promote thrift
on the broadcast possible lines.
Every dollar deposited in a savings
bank becomes available for national
finance. Every life insurance policy
sold is equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Every obligation
assumed by thrifty people such az a
building mortgage is stimulus to
production and saving, and therefore,
as much national service as the di.
rect purchase of government securi.

before everybody in his community
the banker will live up to his opportu.

new thrift movement. When the bill

CARRY ON!

Uncle Sam is releasing from his
service the men who went "over
there" to free the world from au-
tocracy. Thousands of soldiers are
daily receiving their honorable dis
charges; they pocket their pay, bid
farewell to their comrades and sal
ly forth-civilians.
There Is one army, however,
which must not be demobilized.
That Is the army of War Savings
Stamps buyers. More recruits are
needed to carry on the campaign Of
readjustment which follows the
