vision Of the United States Treasury
Department for the Eleventh Federal

Miss Annie Webb Blanton, State Su.

ings Division, assigning a Supervisor
to prepare material the Savings Dr.
vision will furnish teachers.
Representatives of the State Depart
ment of Education have presented the

the first week of September. 8. M. N.
Mars, Chief Supervisor OF High

Earn, save and invest" said Pey-
ton Irving. ST.. Directors assistant for
Education for the Division, "is the slo-
gan. Pupils are taught how to care for
their bushes affairs as well as their
language. their morals and their ply
steal welfar. They must know it is a
privilege, blessing as we'll as duty.
to work. They must come to feel in.
tuitively. that they must live on less
than they earn, and put away SAVINGS
for future needs; otherwise they face
dependency or crime. Il is the duty
of teachers to see these teachings
fruit into action. Savings Securities,
Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps
of the government, and savings banks
are to be recommended for pupils to
use in preserving and increasing their
savings"

WISE YOUNG MEN AND
WOMEN MAKE SAVINGS A
PART OF ENGAGEMENT

Every young man should be very
careful In choosing the young woman
he wishes to marry; and no less eau
ton should be exercised by a young
woman in accepting seriously the al
tentions of young man..
The girl who permits and encour.
ages her escort to spend money un.
necessarily and extravagantIy upon
her will seldom make good wife.
Good wives are economical, careful
of expenditure and capable Of max.
ing the dollar go long ways. Girls
who do not have this trait before
marriage seldom develop it after mar
riage. Marriage is q partnership, and
a badly managed partnership is sell
dom happy one. The young man who
does not save, who is not building up
. reserve fund, but who Is throwing
his money at the birds" will seldom
do any better after marriage.
Some young couples in this state,
instead Of spending all they earn on
meaningless pleasures. are wisely
building their savings funds together
with War Savings Stamps. More than
likely. theirs will be . happy mar
riage.

Grin.

Grip usually starts just the same as
a cold with watery discharge from
the nose. You are much more likely
to contract the grip when you have a
cold. For that reason when grip Is
prevalent you should go to bed as soon
as you feel that you are taking cold
and stay in bed until fully recovered
which should not be long if you take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Three
DAYS in bed now is better than three
weeks later on.

Financial Loss Due to cold.

1t is estimated that the average man
loses three days time each year from
inability to work on account OF having
a cold. Much of this loss can be avoid
ed by treating every cold as soon as
the first symptoms of the disease ap-
pear. Chamberlain Cough Remedy
has won a wide reputation and immen-
Sc sale by its cures of this disease.
TRY it. You are certain to be pleased
with its pleasant taste and the prompt
relief which it affords.

The available supply Of money for invest
ments Is limited. The opportunity and de-
mand for new capital is unprecedented.
The telephone business must compete with
all other businesses. public and private. for
this money
The investor will put his money In the en-
terprise which assures him the best return.
To protect the rights Of the public TO receive
adequate service, the profits Of the Telephone
Company must be suflcient to attract the In
vesting public.
To do this the Company must earn as much
as ten per cent upon Its Investment
The Companys investment Is all physical
property: poles. wires and equipment exciu-
sively used In furnishing telephone service No
franchise, going value or any intangibles are
included. nor is there any bonds. stocks or
other forms Of capitalization involved.
The amount Of the Companys investment il
what 1t originally cost to construct its physi-
cal property; the "bare bones" Of It's telephone
plant. Practically all Of the plant was con-
structed at low pre-war prices.
Its present value today Is much greater than
its original cost
TO reproduce the Company's plant at today's
ent condition. would cost 80 per cent more than
the investment.
Ten per cent return upon tia investment Is
less than per cent upon the vdtde Of the Com
pany's property
No one questions the right Of the Company
to earn a fair and reasonable return upon the
rdlue OF Its property.
Measured by the profits earned today in other
business In Louisiana, the return the Com
pany Is asking to earn Is fair and Just profit.
