Lack of Confidence Blamed.

"Hoarding of money is caused by
lack of confidence in available de-
positories. In furnishing an out
let for surplus funds, ll.2 Govern
ment has not only removed this ex-
cuse for boarding. but has provided
a method whereby the funds are

ing interest for their owner. Credit
mann times the amount is returned
to bNahaess channels. employment is
provided discomfort removed and
confidence restored. Surely a most
happy consummation without any
expense or risk to the former
hoarder.
my conviction of these truths has
impelled me to put such funds as I
had withdrawn back into circula-

Will Hoard Baby Bonds"

Il acquired the boarding habit
early in life, before knew anything
about banking or the science of
finance. The nabit became almost
second nature with me, SO much so
that I find it almost impossible to
break away from it. I shall keep on
boarding, but instead OF hiding my
money away in secret places, where
it does no one any good, shall in
vest it in bel by bonds and hoard
them. In that way I can still crafty
my boarding whim and at the same
time release what little money I
have and let it do its bit toward
bringing back prosperity"

was foxy. So did a lot OF other peo-

business dropped off. Her boss had
to lower her pay-just the amount
she has been saving. Friends suf-
fered the same way.
Then she began to do a little
thinking First, she saw that the
banks here did not fail. If every
one had done as she did they would
have been obliged to close their
doors, through no fault of the man

the interest she had lost and her
pay reduction and decided as a nm

Money Lost in Hoarding.

1.-TWO instances that came to my
attention cured me of boarding. The
first was an old man in this city,
who kept his life savings of $6,140
in his trunk. Some one found it and
took it out. Saved in a bank at
compound interest he would have
had over $4,000 and that. invested
properly, would support him in old
age.
THE other was woman here who
in II years time had saved $4,000
by stuffing currency in the mattress
of her bed. only revealing it to her
son after she became ILL., She lost
over 5000 in compound interest
that would have been earned in
bank-and more If she had asked the
banker for help in investing it.
Both thought they were thrifty.
Both lost about the same amount
That's only the selfish side. De-
posted in bank, the money would
have been the reserve required for
nearly 100000 of credit, and that
employed in trade would have pro-
vided jobs for a number of people
and kept business going. I'm against
boarding now"

to let my few dollars circulate.
Benefit to No One.
"If the citizens of this country
could be persuaded that boarding
their money benefits no one and In
the end only proves injurious TO
themselves, this practice with lts
attending evils would be stopped.
Few realize how far-reaching are
the disastrous effects OF taking our
money out of circulation. The banks
depend on us for their working capl-
tai, and when we withhold our
money. credit facilities are restrict
ed, merchants and manufacturers
are not able to get the loans they
need to carry on business, and we
are the ultimate sufferers, our idle
dollars making idle hands. The
Government recognizes that hoard
ing practiced by the masses is an
evil that must be combatted. BY
legislative means banks have been
strengthened and every measure
taken to restore confidence in those
institutions. For our own good and
the good Of our country let us put
our idle dollars to work.
Gold VS.. Raccoon Coat.
after reading several articles in
the papers and hearing speeches on
the radio I decided to invest the
gold pieces I had lying idle in my
safe deposit bog for several years.
Il became convinced that boarded
money is worthless to every one. 1t

not bring in interest. 1t was no good
to others because it was withdrawn
from circulation II boarding money
is not stopped, then there will not be
enough purchasing power in circula-
ton to enable business to continue.
This will result in a hot box BY
putting money into circulation
through careful purchases or de-
posit in reliable bank, every one
profits. The investor receives mer-
chandise or interest and the mer-
chant or banker sends along the
money to others. People should be
educated to the fact that money
has no intrinsic value 1t is useful
only for its purchasing power. The
newspapers and the radio are the
best teachers to bring this home to
the folks.
And SO my gold pieces have been
recently exchanged for a beautiful
raccoon coat-the kind I have al
ways wanted. OF course, the fur
rier trusted me for the balance.
Hereafter, any gold pieces I get will
not be in box, but on deposit, where
theV will earn interest "

Low Prices Stimulus.

81 have taken my surplus money
out Of the safety vault and invested
1t in buying furniture which will be
useful during the years to come. 1t
is profitable to me to do SO. for prices
are abnormally low during this time
of depression. 1t is a good invest
ment. 1t is socially beneficial as
well, for the money SO spent, when
added to the amounts which others
are taking out Of boarding, will
start the movement toward in
creased production and decreased
unemployment
The effects of purchasing goods
at this time will spread themselves
throughout the economic system, and
refresh every community from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; the increased
production Of furniture, for instance,
will help the retailer, the wholesaler,
stimulate factory production, which
in turn will provide employment for
the lumberman and varnish makers
and many others. With the revival
of business, the income of the Gov
ernment will increase, the good ef-
fects coming back to Government
employees in stopping the cutting of
expenses in Government work.
Let every one join in the move
ment initiated by the President, and
the success will be unquestioned, the
depression will be history"

Grammar School p. T. A. Tuesday
afternoon the following officers were
elected: Mrs, Ruth Heath, president;
Mrs. Opal cronander, vice-president;
Mrs. W. s, Galloway, secretary, and
Mrs. Bernlce Hansen, treasurer.
Mrs. Heath is a particularly happy
choice for president Of the circle, as
she has shown by her work during the
past years that she not only has the
interest Of the school at heart, but
has remarkable executive ability.
Two years ago the p. T. A. decided
that the school hot lunches were not
worth the effort they involved. Mrs.
Heath thought otherwise and was
made chairman Of the committee.
With the help Of Mrs. Agren, for the
past two years the children have had
hot satisfying lunches. In addition to
those who can pay for the benefit
received ten and twelve INDECENT chill
dren have been fed. Both women
have worked together in perfect har-
mony. And the materials for the
lunches have been bought out Of the
proceeds, and Mrs. Agren has received
q wage that she considers satisfactory.

King County Goes On
Warrant Basis FRIDAY

King County will go on a warrant

County Auditor George A. Grant is
negotiating with banks to accept the
warrants, but refused to reveal what
interest rate the county will pay. II
is expected, however, it will be either
S or per cent.
Unprecedented OUTLAWS for county
welfare relief, coupled with a delin-

move.
Million Deficit.
County commissioners have been
paying $l25,0oO a month for welfare
relief since the first Of the year,
whereas in normal years 100000
sufficed for the entire year.
Chief Deputy County Treasurer w
w. Shields declared these two causes
have combined to give the county a
81 100000 deficit. 1t is expected re-
funding bond issue will be relied upon
to take up the deficit, the bonds be-
ing issued by county commissioners
and retired over a period of years.
The county's current expense budget
of $2,895,40l for 1882 has been ex-
hausted by county expenses and the
welfare appropriations, Shields said
Although other funds remain in the
county treasury, among them those Of
the road and bridge and port CON-
mission accounts, the county cannot
legally use funds from such sources.
Shields declared that Of the APP

for 1882, only about sl0,oOo0oo has
been collected. The delinquencies
