R. P. KILPATRICK, Brewd
Andrew Carnegie died not long ago,
leaving behind him $30,000,000. He
had given away about $300,000,000 in
an effort to avoid the reproach of
dying rich.
It is probable that the high cost of
living gave the “steel master” little
worry during the latter half of his
life, but it is certain that in his boy
hood the prices of the necessaries of
life were vital factors. And Andrew
Carnegie in his early years met the
cost of living with the same remedy
which America’s leaders, headed by
President Wilson, are now putting
forth as the bisic principle of the
fight to withstand the menace that
lurks in the soaring prices of today.
That remedy Is thrift—the practice of
saving, the elimination of waste and
sound investment.
In the days when Andrew Carnegie,
14 years old, earned $1.20 a week as
a bobbin boy in an Allegheny City
cotton mill, and later when he earned
$11.25 a month as a telegraph mes
senger boy, the cost of living meant
much to him. He had little margin
for saving. But he did save. There
were few opportunities for the small
saver to make safe investments. Se
curities were not issued in small de
nominations. There were no Thrift
Stamps or War Savings Stamps,
backed by the government, into which
the meager proceeds of the Scotgh
boy’s thrift could be converted.
But Andrew Carnegie at the age of
80 determined upon safe investment.
The soundest securities that offered
were 10 shares of stock in an express
company worth $600. Carnegie had to
borrow part of the money he paid.
But he was convinced that savings ly
ing idle were not performing their
proper function.
The American man or woman, boy
or girl of today does not have to bor
row to add to the savings fund in or
der to find safe investment. The gov
ernment makes sound security in the
form of Savings Stamps, Trtasury
Savings Certificates, and war bonds
available to every saver who will be
gin to practice thrift by the regular in
vestment of sums as small as 25
cents.
Every American today has a better
opportunity for success than lay be
fore Andrew Carnegie when he faced
the world.
It is easier to spend money than it
is to save. It is also more fun—at
first. But money that is spent does
not work for you. It is gone, and is
working for somebody else.
It is as hard to make young people
realize the necessity of saving as it
is to make them realize that they are
not always going to be young. It is
so easy to be young and rcckless.
But habits of thrift have to be
taught. They also have to be formed
by practice. That means that the ris
ing generation must be taught to cap
italize its youAii, and in childhood
shown how to distribute and allot such:*
income as it may have.
That indeed, is a large part of civ
ilization. The savage lives today. The
civilized man lives today with an eye
upon tomorrow In order that tomor
row may be as secure as today he
.saves some of today’s goods for to
morrow’s use.
The war taught many people how
to save; it taught other people how
to spend. The wise spender is the
wise saver, but the emphasis is on
the “wise” and not on the “spending.”
Education in thrift Is an educatif'n
In good citizenship and in good mor
als. The person who is being taught
to save is also being taught to fore
cast the future and to make tomorrotr
better because of wise living today.
The government of the United States
is offering to men, women and chil
dren the opportunity to invest savings
in safe and profitable securities.
Have You a Home?
If you do not have a Home,
:ome and let us sell you one.
If you do own a\Home, come
and have us INSURE it.
Two of the most sensible things
that you can do: secure a [home
and protect it.

NOW AND THEN
What is a dollar? Foolish quee-
tion—you say? Not at all these
days of H. C. L. and profiteering.
Certainly a dollar isn’t what it was
ten years ago. It isn’t what it will
be five years from now.
A dollar is what you can get for
it in beans, butterflies or bunk—^no
more, no less. A dollar wouldn’t be
worth anything if you couldn’t get
anything for it.
Ten years ago you bougM, say,
bunk at one dollar a portion. Now
bunk costs two dollars. That
doesn’t mean it has doubled in val-
It means th»t your dollar is
worth halt what It was ten years
aso.
This is, therefore, not the tim'6
to spend too many of your dollars.
They will bring you only half of
what they are worth. This is the
time to ave them.
They will bring more later on.
Tliat is the history of dollars. Val
ues run in cycles. As surely as
you, live five years a dollar will .be
w0t^ more than it is now. Maybe
twice as muh. So when you save a
dollar now you are perhaps saving
two-collars, v Treat dollars as you
would any other commodity. Buy
them when they are cheap.
Stick every dollar you can into
War Savings Stamps. Carrying 4
per cent interest compounded
quarterly, a War Savings ' Stamp
bought this month for $4.22 will be
worth $5 January 1, 1924. By 1924
If the. lollar is worth twice ae much
•as it -<» now yoij will really have
ten dollars for^he^i.22.
ARE YOU A CAPITALIST?
The dictionary defines a “capital
ist” as one who has a “pecuniary
surplus.” The dictionary is wrong.
A capitalist is one who has a pecu
niary surplus “which is invested.”
Are you a capitalist?
You are if you are buying War
Savings Stamps or Treasury Savings
Certificates. They represent “pecu
niary surplus” or, in simple English,
“savings,” and they make your money
work by bringing to you 4 per cent in
terest, compounded quarterly.
Are you a capitaist?
Secretary of Commerce Redfield re
cently said to the Cleveland advertis
ing men, “There are 64,000,000 sub
scribers to our Liberty Loans. I sus
pect that many a fac%>ry is manned, as
I know some government services
are, by a force from top to bottom of
capitalists, in varying degrees, but not
the less really.”
Don’t kick about the high cost of
living. Beat it by trimming your sails
and buying War Savings Stamps. The
capitalists are not kicking about the
high cost of living.
Why?
Because they have money at work.
Cut your expenses to the bone. In
vest in War Savings Stamps.
Be a capitalist.

SCOTCH SONGS TO DATE
If a body meet a body
Coming through the rye:
If a body save a dollar
Why, then, bye and bye.
When the shiftless people holler
“Money’s Scarce and tight!”
He who saves the nimble dollar.
Will come through all right!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
An4 never come to mind?
Why, no!—unless he is a sot
And better left beht&d.
But one thing you mast not forget,
A thing more true than funny;
"When your mind on saving’s set
It's easy saving money!”
