u. S. GOVERNMENT AND SAVING

and thrift are qualities which need not be extolled
Their worth has been proved time after time. 1t
is the thrifty person and the saving families that
succeed. In fact it has been demonstrated again
and again that the road to success is reached by
saving.
The United States government has taken hold
OF saving IN a practical way and has provided
plan which makes it easy for people to save in
small sums and to make their small savings in
crease until fair competence is acquired. The
manner in which this can be done is told in book
let on saving issued by the United States Govern
ment Savings System. Not only are the lessons
of thrift told in clear and concise language, but
the facts about Treasury Savings Certificates, the
gflt-edged Government savings security are given
IN such form as any reader readily understand
it. This little booklet is sent free to anyone who
will write to the Government Savings System in
The Treasury Department. at Washington

Mothers Day

Plans are already made to give wider
publicity and more general observance
to this day than ever before. Miss
Ann Jarvis of Philadelphia, is the orr
ginator of the day and the date is the
second Sunday in May. The emblem
chosen for wearing as a token of re-
inembrance on that day is the car
nation but that flower being little
costly and more rare in places, the
usual plan adopted is the wearing of a
red flower to honor the living mother
and the whit one to honor the one
that is gone. Many churches have spe-
cial exercises or singing in Sunday
school and all who attend services that
day receive the flower at the church
door either on entering or leaving. In
many families the custom is to have
a letter or telegram reach the mother
from each absent child on that day
and needless to say the family circle
e> erywhere has its own splendid way
to show the tenderness and apprecia-
ton for the best living friend that
they or any may ever have.

standing among nations, DR.. Kate:
Waller Barrett, national president of
the American Legion Auxiliary, de-
clared in a recent address before the:
Montreal Women's Club.
There cannot be rivalry among wO-
men in these fundamental things, for
what is good for the children of one

DR.. Barrett acclaimed the Internal
tional agreements which have come
about between Great Britain and the
United States following the war, in
which they have been held together,
not by psychology of fear, as some as
serted, but by "the great cement of
racial instinct and social ideas in COM
mon."

DANCE CRAzEs AND CRAZY DANCERS

OF course its an entirely different proposition,
but we wonder how long the young lady who
broke the long distance dancing record could walk
the floor carrying collicky baby.
And again, we wonder how long she would hold
out In long distance dish washing contest.
We wonder what your own individual opinion
is OF these foolish girls who wear out several Or
chestras and half dozen male partners apiece to
get the title, Endurance Dancing Championship
Of the Word?"
What possibly can be the outcome? It's flu
tile pursuit that will take its health toll later in the
young dancers lives. Over-exertion always pre-
sents its bill and it always collects-in full.
AS we see it there is just about as much sense
IN endurance dancing there is in long-distance
running, prize fighting weight-liftng auto racing
and other equally foolish over-exert contestings
It's interesting to watch this dance craze with
ITS hundreds of crazy dancers and wonder where
it'll end

The newspapers say there is sur

25,00G000 as the number. That seems
like saying there are too many when
the truth OF it is that there are not
the right nuuEer OF men, due to the
holocaust OF war. Not only the wild

led. Have we often thought what ii
nlcart to millions OF young girls that

less, that home, husband or children
could never be theirs. Roumania is
said to be the only European country
that does not show this deficit.

How man men and women too
have cherished such tender recollec-

the wish ito buy it back? Not always
is this practicable or even possible
but President Harding has his wish

means and SO his birthplace, a farm in
Morrow County, Ohio, has passed in

BUY AT HOME-Much time and attention has
been devoted to the all important question OF
buying at home" by the Leader Enterprise, and as
time goes on one can slowly see the fruits OF this
continuous campo gn.
Il AS mentioned several occasions, Buying at
aiome" is not merely plan to increase new>pap-
Il Srs, revenue through increased advertising. II
iasans increased prosperity in every line OF busi-
Thess in Fitzgerald, to the population as whole.
How many people realize that thousands OF dol
lars are sent out OF Fitzgerald annually or goods
purchased through catalogues which could more
probably be bought here.
1t is of course trait of human nature to wish
to get something which cannot see and tins
accounts tor the gambling spirit which enters into
catalogue-buying. When buying by mail, people
send money out OF town for something which is
not seen, and eight times out OF ten the article
proves disappointment but the people perseverc
IN the search for excitement, and are naturally
very much induced to do so through well illustrat-
cd catalogues and florid advertising.
Do people realize what good this money spent
out OF Fitzgerald would do il circulated here? Do
the merchants realize what this money would
mean to their business? Few apparently realize the
AhhlellSe DellelltS WhCh would accrue, this
money kept in Fitzgerald too few unfortunately il
one looks the columns of the Leader ENTERPRISE
and sees the small percentage of advertisers who
tell the people OF what they have to offer.
The matter rests chiefly with the merchants
themselves, but serious wrong is being done the
city, and the Leader Enterprise will do it's utmost
to remedy this lack of economic foresight.
1t is confidently felt that the people of Fitz
gerald Will agree with us, that more buying at
nome VIII eventually mean more prosperous city,
'ower taxes and better place to call your home.
