500 LEFT ON DEPOSIT
60 YEARS is NOW $500
Ex-senator Depew Finds That His
Original "Nest Egg" Had Be-
come Substantial Sum

Saving money is not so hard after a
person once acquires the habit. The
United States government makes it
easy for every man, woman and child
to practice thrift. The start can be
made with dime invested in a pos
tai saving stamp or 81 will open an
interest bearing postal savings &C
count or pay for a treasury savings
stamps, with a few nickels added. or
postal savings deposit, can be con-
verified into treasury savings certifi-
cate, paying S25 at maturity. These
savings certificates are also sold in
maturity denominations of 800 and
$1,000. They yield interest at A per
cent, compounded quarterly. when
held until maturity. and can always
be converted into cash on short notice
at more than their original cost.
Chauncey M. Depew, erstwhile
United States senator from New
York, put 500 in a Peckskill, N. Y,
savings bank in 1860. 1t was his first
500. Maybe Senator Depew found,
as many do. that the first $1,000
proved to be the hardest. Anyway,
in spite of strenuous temptation, he
refused to draw upon that 500, and,
as result of later prosperity. finally
forgot about it. No long ago Senator
Depew entered the Peckskill bank to
greet some old friends and they re-
minded him of his "nest egg" On
computing the interest it was found
that the original deposit of 500 had
grown to $500. and owing to the long
period in which it had lain undis-
turbed had achieved the distinction of
being known as the banks star ac-
count.
Such a concrete instance on the
value of thrift is better than much
preaching. The cynical will exclaim
that there are mighty few Depews
who could afford to leave a deposit
undisturbed for nearly two genera
tions, but the fact remains that money
regularly deposited in the postal saw
ings or in savings bank or invested
in treasury savings certificates, which
is added to weekly or monthly from
the pay envelope or salary check, con-
stitutes constantly growing source
of financial strength and will in time
present its owner with competence
in his old age.

Women and Thrift
In The Home

Women control the purse strings in
America. Without their wholeheart-
ed support no movement for syste-
matte saving can be a complete sue
cess. The World War gave the
housewives of the nation an incentive
to save Their cooperation was one
Of the most valuable contributions to
the winning of the war. Unforto-
nately, however. millions Of women
who then gave loyal support to the
governments program have since
lapsed back into the habits Of eX-
travagence or careless spending.
Those women must be brought TO
realize that the prosperity Of the
home depends in peace-time, no less
than in war, upon thrift-upon in
dividual thrift and oupn government
thrift.
The first consideration in the in
vestment Of funds by women should
be safety Of principal, interest return
being a secondary consideration.
Women who are self-supporting and
have had some experience in invest
ing have come to realize that govern
ment saving securities are he safest
investment. They have also come
to know the advantage OF consulting
their banker before buying stocks
and bonds promising a high yield.
Too many women have been an easy
prey for the INSCRIPTIONS promoter
who offered high return which was
often more attractive to women than
safety of principal.
Recognition of the lack of system
in family financing has caused many
to advocate the budget system for
the household. MANY worries and
troubles of the American home can
be voided by some sys-
TEN apportioning the family income
to cover cost of food, shelter, cloth
ing. savings, and the other things
which must be provided for decent
and comfortable living, not forget
ting provision for education and
recreation.

POSTAL SAVINGS
NEWS BULLETIN

The total deposits in the United
States Postal Savings on December
1st were approximately $148,000, 900,
a decrease of 100000 being noted
during the month of November.
There appears to be slight but
steady increase in deposits in many
of the smaller postoffices through
out the entire country. In the ma
iority of cases til in the larger cit
les and industrial centers where with
drawals exceed the deposits.
During the month of November
Omaha, Nebraska, was the only Of
flee which made a gain of over $780,
900, with a gain of $29,4SS:
Augusta, Georgia, although not yet
in the 100000 class" deserves es-
pecial credit for increasing it's depos-
it's nearly 80 per cent during the
month. This increase is directly at
tributable to the postmaster and his
force bringing the advantages of
postal savings to the attention of the
patrons of his office.

$500 FUND is CREATED
FOR SHADE TREES IN POLL
Experts Figure That Massachusetts
Legacy Will Amount to S250,000
in 80 Years

The statement has been made in
bank advertisements that if 81 had
been placed at compound interest in
the year /, it would have grown by
now to a sum larger than all the
money in the world.
Such a statement must have caught
the eye of Alfred V. Lincoln, of
Charlestown. Mass. His will provides
that $500 of his estatemust be set
aside at compound interest for 90
years, or until the year POLL. Then
the total will be drawn out to plant
many trees in Mr.. Lincoln's home
town.
At per cent compound interest
money doubles in II years and GAG
days. In 80 years, Mr.. Lincoln's orig
inal $500 will amount to about $780,
900. Shrewdly invested by trustees,
it may turn into millions.

CHAPTER x
The Man at the Window

Ot course. the first thing 1 did, the
morning after that adventure in the
coat yard, was to tell the boss all
about 1t, and 1 was just foxy enough
to do it when Mr.. Ripley was present.
MT. Norcross didn't say much; and,
for that mntter, neither did the law
yer, though he did ask the boss a
question or two about the real facts
in the Midland right-of-way squabble
But l noticed, after that, that cur
man Tarbeli was continually turning
up at all sorts Of times, and in all
sorts of odd places, so / took it that
Ripley had given him his tip, and
that he was sort of body-guarding Mr..
Norcross on the quiet, though l am
sure the boss didn't know anything
about that part of 1.-THE was such q
square fighter himself that he prob
ably wouldn't have stood for it If he
had.
Meanwhile. things grew warmer and
warmer in the tussle we were making
to pull the old Short Line out Of the
mud; warmer in a numberaof ways,
because. In addition q tkek light for

your administration q failure, II won't
hesitate to get rid of you in the easiest
way that offers" :,
There was silence In the majors
den for a minute or so, and then the
boss said:
"As usual, you know more than you
are willing to tell me-"
perhaps not" was the prompt an
swer. perhaps l am only the on
looker-who can usually see things
rather better than the persons actual
ly involved. Hitherto l have urgeu
you to be bold, and then again to be
bold. Now l am begging you 10 De
prudent"
''In what way?"
Careful for yourself. For example
you walked out here this evening :
don't do that any more. Come IN II
taxi-and don't come alone,
couldn't see his frown of disagree
memt. but 1 knew well enough it was
there.
There spoke the woman in you
he said. "If 1 should show the white
feather that way, they'd have some eA-
cuse for potting me-"
There was a silence again. and l
got up quietly and crossed the dining
room to the big recessed window where
stood looking out into the darkness
of the tree-shaded lawn. 1t was pretty
evident that Mrs. Sheila knew a heap
more than she was telling the boss,
just as he had said, and l couldn't
help wondering how she came to know
it. What she said about the increased
number of wrecks looked like Il pointer.
Was she in touch with the enemy in
some way?
Then my mind went back in flash
to what Maisie Ann had told me. Was
the husband who ought to be dead, and
The Ordway new era., 1921-07-01

then to have a perfect epidemic of
wrecks.
The boss turned the material trou-
BILE over to Mr.. Van Britt and devoted
himself pretty strictly to the public
side of things. Everywhere, and on
every occasional dinners at the diff
ferent chambers of commerce, and
public banquets given to this, that, or
the other visiting big-wig-he was al
ways ready 10 get on his feet and tell
the people that the true prosperity of
the country carried with it the pros
perity of the railroads; that the two
things were one and inseparable; and
that, when it came right down TO basic
facts, the railroads were really part
of the progress machinery of the coun-
try at large and should be regarded,
not as alien tax-collectors, but as con-
tributors to the general prosperity and
welfare.
By this time, also, Red Tower Con-
solidated was beginning to find out
what it meant to have active COM
petition. The C. S. & w. people were
hammering their new plants into work
ing shape, and they were getting the
patronage, both of the producers and
consumers, hand over fist. Track facil-
tiles and yard service were granted
freely; and while no discrimination
was permitted as against the Red
Tower people, the friendly attitude Of
the road counted for something, as it
was bound to.
During those few prediction weeks
the New York end of US seemed to
have petered out completely. We heard
nothing more from President Dunton,
worse than an occasional wire COM
plant about the number of wrecks
we were having. though the stock
was still going down, point by point
and, so far as a man up a tree could
see, we were making no attempt to
show net earningS-were turning all
our money into betterments as fast as
it came in. l knew that couldn't go
on. Without furry of some sort, the
New Yorkers would never be able to
break even, to say nothing of q profit,
and l looked every day for a howl
that would tear things straight up the
back.
While all these threads were weav-
ing along, I'm sorry to say that
hadn't yet drummed up the courage
