Mrs. Annie L. Snow, New

The Stamford Leader copies of
the Washington (Arkansas)
Telegraph and two Hope ARK
ansas) dalies, Star of Hope and
Herald, for which we return
thanks. These papers tell of
the terrible storm that happen
ed near Hope in April, when
many people were killed, and
which is familiar history to
people around here, but the
main idea, as we gather it, is
merely for the editor of The
Leader to see that the Washing
ton Telegraph is still in exis-
tence and going mighty good.
More than eighty one years ago
it started. 1t ran right along
through the years up to the Civ
il War and then through that ;
it got down to the announce
ment that we, us, the editor had
discovered America over there
in the sand-hills and pine
woods near Washington. 1t has
told of everything important
that has happened since 1910

RETURNED HERE
RELEASED FROM FEDERAL PRIS-
ON, HE is TAKEN IN CUSTODY
BY THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

Dan Smith was returned to
Washington yesterday and
placed in the county Jail to
face the charge of burglarizing
the H. NJ. Stephens store at
Elevins in the spring of 1919,
after serving a two years SEN
tence in Federal Prison at Ft.
Leavenworth. Requisition was
secured without trouble and he
was taken in charge by Special
Deputy Sheriff w. NJ. Stroud
as soon as he was discharged
from Federal Prison. Smith
was indicted by the grand jury
of April, 1919, and the case
will go to trial at the October
term of court. While being
held here awaiting trial in the
summer of 1919, Smith broke
jail. He was, later apprehended
by Federal officers in the north
and was sentenced to Federal
Prison, a postoffice having
been located in the building he
was charged with robbing and
stamps and postoffice funds be-
ing missing.
When interviewed by the Tel
egraph man at the county Jail
yesterday, Smith was very re-
luctant to talk about ~himself,
saying that any statement he
had to make would be made in
the court room when his case
was tried. 81 was very much
surprised to be again taken in
custody on receiving my dis
charge from Federal Prison"

Smith is about 40 years old
and is of very good appearance.
He stated that the Federal pris-

Judge has ever been a most
charming character to us--the
true Southern gentleman in
every particular. It's some step
back to the days of pine trees
200 feet tall, but there were
few around there that might
have been that tall. In those
days the Judge stood head and
shoulders taller than many OF
his fellows, all of whom have
long since been laid low by the
unerring sickle of the Grim
Reaper.
THE Washington Telegraph is
refreshing-refreshing like the
wine that has gone on and aged
and comes out for usage in the
mellow, not scar days, to cheer
us on and make us understand
that the race is not always to

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT.

At the present time it is particularly vital that
careful thought be given to the problem of-correct
spending as we'll as correct saving. says IS. W..
Straus, president, American Society for Thrift.
The statement recently was made by a govern
ment official that $3,00O,o O0,o 0 of the. %country's
ing carried around in pockets. While it is necessary
in a nation OF 10000 200. people to Use a great
amount Of loose cash and currency, it is likely that
a considerable portion of the So, 900, 600, 900 referred
to is concealed III obscure hooks and corners, and
thus kept out OF circulation.
The hiding of money under carpets and mat
tresses and in other places where, it is supposed to
be safe from burglars and thieves, does not CON
,stltute constructive thrift, which means not only
saving money but. putting it to some good use.
When funds are saved and deposited with a
bank or are invested prudently we are practicing
constructive thrift, and our savings are helping keep
the general business of the country going, but when
our savings are hidden away they represent Just so
much idle capital.
In studying thrift we should consider, there
fore, not only the function of saving money but the
equally important, one Of spending it.
If all the money that the people of this country
earned from day to day were kept out of circulation,
the wheels of industry would stop Immediately and
business would go to smash. All progress would
cease and we would find ourselves in the midst Of
economical chaos -. ,=
Money must be kept in circulation and the
thrifty mans expenditures or savings go through
channels that are of constructive value both to him
self and to society. @
1t is for these reasons that thrift should be Civ
en- careful study, for it can be abused as we'll as
used. q
To be truly thrifty means to be progressive.
Neither miserliness nor improvidence have a place
in the practices of the truly thrifty man.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-12-06
BILLION IN INTEREST.

The largest item in the federal budget on which
congress must act at the present session is $975, 00O,-
900 for interest on sthc public. debt. This immense
sum, just a fraction short Of a round billion, is equal
to the total annual appropriations by congress short
ly before the war. By far the greater part Of this
indebtedness on which interest runs to such a ire
mendous figure is tor war expenditure. Within
these few years, therefore, a single war has placed
upon the people of this country an annual burden on
account of a past war which approximates it's en-
tire former expenditure for all purposes. And it is
to be remembered that the payment of interest does
not extinguish any part of the debt. Unless addi-
tional sums are levied in some form or other to re-
tire the principal, the payment of interest must con-
tinue until the end Of time. In that case future gen
%erations all down the ages would have a forceful re-
Twentieth century had done for them. And even
if the principal is paid, as it will be paid some day,
its payment will require the energy of some genera
ton or generations, energy which might otherwise
have been devoted to some other purpose.
1t has often been said that a war must be car
ried on with the means at hand, and that one gener-
alton cannot draw on, its successors for this purpose.
In one sense this is true. In the prosecution Of a
war a nation must use the munitions, the food, the
material generally, and the man power, which it
then has. 1t cannot draft into it's armies men who
are unborn, or feed its troops in grain not yet grown.
But in. the prosecution of human labors it has been
found essential to the comfort and happiness of the
race to create accumulations of wealth in the form
of commodities of every conceivable kind which
may be drawn on i'll all emergency, and which in
their turn facilitate the daily operations which con-
duce to human welfare. And a war draws on, and
in time, exhausts these accurnulations. and the new
generation must begin anew the work of accumula-
ton. There is destroyed the property which it has
been the custom Of each generation to leave to it's
successors, and those who follow must put forth
|redoubled energy and suffer ul1warrantcd privation
before the world catches up. .
