Yet these men missed the goals they sought,
while one who asked no golden crown

OF serving only as no ought,
Was given both fortune and reuowu,

one toied because he wanted fame,
one saw in glory something which

Than Its reward of fame or gold;
They that the glory only ask

And give no thought unto his fate,

Whore men may walk and children play,

THRIFT SAVINGS STAMPS
 OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

Washington, D, C., March 27-The Twelfth Federal Reserve District, em- bracing the seven states and terri tories of the far west, ranked second in per capita investment in Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during 1919, ac- cording to report of the Savings Di- vision of the Treasury Department. The Fourth District, with headquart- CTS in the Federal Reserve Bank at Cleveland, was first.
 The per capita investment in the Governments Thrift securities in the Twelfth District, made up of the Stat es of California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and part of Ari- zona, was $1.07. The total cash in vestment was $7,314,442. The Fourth

District, comprisingS Ohio, Northeast ern Kentucky, and Western Pennysl yania, outstripped all of the Federal Reserve Districts by one hundred per cent and more. Their per capita in vestment was $2.14 and the cash total $17,331,597.
 The total sales throughout the Uni ted States were more than $134,00O,- 000., a tremendous peace-time contri- button to the working capital of the United States and without doubt the most effective attack on high prices, unspectacular as it was. Officials of the Government Savings Organization are confident that the 1920 investment of the public in Thrift anw War Saw, ings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates, the two latter carrying four percent interest compounded every three months and maturing in five years, will exceed the 1919 sales. Hysterical conditions immediately fol- lowing the close of the war handi- capped the Thrift movement last year.
 The Government Savings Organi- zation for each Federal Reserve Dis trict operates under the supervision and in connection with the Federal Reserve Bank of the District. Com pared with the Thrift Organization during the war, in most districts only a skeleton organization remains to carry on the movement during peace. All Government Savings Organiza- tions are working through schools, churches, fraternal organizations, women's clubs, industrial organiza- tions, and labor unions. Expensive, flamboyant wartime drives and the like have been discarded in the Thrift movement, and a steady, intelligent effort substituted through the above channels, with the help of far-visioned and patriotic newspaper editors who feel that in the wake of the Thrift movement lies great good for America.

AAaERInANS BIGGEST USERS OF RAILROADS;
 SERVICE HERE FAR OUTSKIRTS EUROPE

The railways of the United States in point of actual railway service lead the world. Americans buy more rail way service, and a greater amount of transportation is supplied and used in the United States than in any other country.
 According to statistics prepared by the Bureau of Railway Economies, the ton miles per capita carried by United States railroads in 1913 were almost Ave times the ton miles per capita car ried by Germany, which was second to the United States in this respect. The ton miles per capita carried by the United States railroads in 1913 were 8,1O1. In Germany the ton miles per
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-04-10

capita carried by the railroads were 631 and in France 447.
 Since 1913 the increase in ton miles per capita carried by the railroads of the United States was more than the total carried by either of the two other countries in that year. In comparison with the total of 631 carried by the railroads in Germany and the total of AT carried by the railroads in France the increase carried by the railroads in the United States since 1913 was 759 ton miles per capita.
 The chart below shows the trans portation supplied in the United States, Germany and France in 1913 and the increase in railroad service in the Unit ed States since 1913.
