PAYING THE PRICE OF FOLLY

Folly is sweet while it lasts, but
the taste is bitter when we pay the
price.
While our troops were fighting for
victory in France the rest Of us were
fighting for our dollars at home
at least the majority Of Us were.
Money literally poured into Amer
lea from other countries in return
for our munitions and supplies and
foodstuffs. There seemed 10 end to
the stream of gold.
Prosperity came with a leap, profit
eering with a bound, and insanity
outstripped them all.
Everybody made money-big money
and apparently the question upper
most was how to make it fly.
|, And it flew.
People who before the war could
hardly afford a sewing machine sud
denly blossomed out in their fine raj
ment and rode in expensive automo-
biles.
Nothing was too good or too high
N price.
Money was the only thing that was
cheap.
1t came easily, went swiftly, and
forgot to return.
I'm the early days the foolish vir-
gins went out without oil in their
lamps, and had no light.
The five wise virgins filled their
lamps and had light.
The virgins remind us of our own
people in the ~profteering days.
Foolish heads Of families spent
money like water. Now they have
water, but no money.
Wiser mes saved their money and
now live in comfort and plenty.
That is the difference between wis
| dom and folly.
III the people had saved their money
instead Of squandering it in riotous
living they would not be feeling the
pinch of want.
Wise men saw the reaction that was
lsuc 10 comc. They accumulated all
