HAVE you GOT MONEY?

How familiar is that phrase: and
what lot Of meaning it conveys.
It expresses a certain admiration,
though the tribute may be reluctantly
bestowed.
From the viewpoint Of anybody
who spends his earnings as fast as he
gets them, the persons who "have
money stand on different plane, al.
together superior to the ordinary run
Of folks. BY that mere fact they in.
spire respect.
II you have a little money, nobody
can bully you On tho other hand, II
you have none, you are helpless and
do not dare to speak up for your
rights.
Without money, one Is necessarily
at other peoples mercy. There Is no
escaping that proposition.
Obviously, then, the ordinarily com
mon-sensible person ought to have
the gumption to start In, as early as
possible in life. to put pennies and
dimes together and create a little
capital.

ENGLISH GENTLEMEN
DISCOVERED SECRET
FOUND OUT HOW TO BEAT HIGH
COST OF LIVING AND, PROVED
IT TO ALL COUNTRYWIDE.

Thsre were no War Savings Stamps
or Treasury Savings Certificates in the
days o? Samuel Johnson, the famous
philosopher, but the most effective
weapon against profiteers and the high
cost OF living was known and EN-
ployed AZ effectively then as now.
Boswell in his life Of Johnson calls
attention 10 the successful manner
in which Mr.. Peregrin Langdon mas
tered the art of living in the eigh-
teenth century. Mr.. Langdon seems
to have BEEN . wonder even in the
frugal coun txysDfe where he lived. Ac-
cording to Boswell he had an annuity
Of 200 pounds sear (ahout $1,000,
and while that SAN probably exceed
ed an equal amour! today in purchas-
ing power, this Is what he was able
to do with It.:
He supported hiHself, his sister
(who paid 800 yea' for her board
and his niece. Tho servants" says
the biographer, "were two maids and
two men in livery; the apEurtances to
his table we're neat ard handsome.
He frequently entertained company at
dinner and then his table was we'll
served with as many dishes as were
usual at the tables of other gentlemen
Of the neighborhood. His own ap-
pearance rs to clothes was generally
reat and plain. He had always
post-chaise and kept three horses"
Mr.. Langdon's nephew, il writing to
Or. Johnson, gave away ths secret
formula by which all this y7as made
possible. q He declared that Mr.. Lang
don was able To- do so much with so
little because he paid for everything
as soon as he had it except alone what
were current expenses such as rent
Tor his house and servants wages, and
these he paid at the stated time with
the utmost -zactness. He gave no.
ice to the tradespeople Of the neigh
boring towns that they should no lon.
ger have his custom il they let any
of his servants have anything without
paying for it. Thus he put out Of his
,ower to commit those imprudences
t., which those are liable that defer
their payments by using their money
some other way than where it ought
10 TO-"
In other words Mr.. Langdon saved
first and spent afterwards. That is
the fundamental principle which the
savings division Of the treasury de-
partmeht is seeking to instill into the
American people through encourage
ment Of thrift and safe investment in
goxernment securities.
Times have changed since Mr.. Lang
don's day but principles have not, and
his methods of getting the utmost
from his income through economy,
elimination OF waste, wise buying,
systematic saving and safe invest
ment are as applicable today as when
Mr. Johnson lived.
Mr.. LangdonS nephew knew there
Of he spoke when be concluded his de-
scription. OF his uncle's methods as
follows: "TheNa few particulars may
afford instruction and be an incentive
to that wise art Of living which he
so successfully practiced."

BE YOUR OWN CREDITOR.

Benjamin Franklin, the pioneer of
American thrift, said:
"The borrower is slave to the lend'
er, and the debtor to the creditor. If
you would know the value Of money
try to borrow some"
Be your own creditor. So regulate
your expenditures that the first
charge against your income will be
savings. Put aside certain proper
tion of your money for necessary
spending in the future.
Your savings are a safeguard
against want in old age, anti against
the rainy day. They form fund for
that golden opportunity that may be
on the way.
Your savings are safe and rec Oily
available if invested in War Savings
Stamps, guaranteed by the 60 ern-
ment and earning per cent inte SCI

An attack on the national board Of
ca,sors was stricken from the report
before it's adoption upon the sugges
ton of DR.. W. W. Landrum of Rus

what he charged was their unfair
attitude towards the Baptist de-

The newspapers and the Associated
Press were staunchly defended by

and DR.. Alex Bealer of Georgia, who
declared that the Baptists have not
been Disseminated against IN the pa

had always been fair and courteous.

Stecher; Jim Londos
Preparing for Bout

Joe Stecher. the worlds wrestling
champion, who is to defend his title
against Jim Londos, the Greek cham
pion, Friday night at the list Regi-
ment Armory, is up in arms over the
assertion of his defeated adversary,
Earl Caddock 1t seems that Caddock
claims he didn't lose the title when
Stecher beat him the other night. He
declares that he should have been
thrown two out Of three falls instead
of one, as decided the match.
Stecher replies that the conditions
called for only one fall. The onefalI
match, declares Stecher, is the proper
way to decide a title In fighting only
one knockout Is necessary to win, so
why more than one fall in q wrestling
bout? This is good logic and will be
the system that will govern matches
in this city.
Stecher probably figures he will be
satisfied If he throws Iondos once Fri
day night, for he knows he's going to
face the fastest rival he has been up
against in years. Tho "Little Giant
is just human cyclone and his plans
are to make this battle a hurricane
from start to finish. He figures that
with his wonderful energy he will
