SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uncle Sam Provides Protection for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes to
Lay Aside Part of Earnings.
This is the day of the small investor.-
The war opened the eyes of some
50,000,000 Americans to the benefits
of investing in government securities;
it minimized to the same extent the
menace of fraudulent promotions in
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are mak
ing investing safe for the small saver.
Every small investor should realize
that a dollar saved while money is
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much of almost any
other commodity within four or fire
years, so that, in addition to the in
terest that War Savings or other gov
ernment securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth sav
ing1. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are im
pressive. A great French banker was once
asked the secret of French thrift, ana
he replied. "Compound iaterest." Just
as constant waste, even in little
things, may change one's life from
success to failure, so the steady sav
ing of money will eventually bring
independence!! not actual wealth.
There are very few persons who
cannot, without inconvenience, lay
aside 10 cents a day. Within ten.
years one's daily savings of this in
significant sum will amount to $385,
in addition to $80,36 compound in
terest, making a total of $445.36.
By saving 15 cents a day for ten
years, with Interest compounded at 4
per cent, one will have the comfort
able sum of $6(f8.18; 20 cents a day
will net $890.99. Save 60 cents a day
for ten years and there is $2,227.75.
A dollar a day will make a total of
$4,455.74 for the ten-year period.
All these figures are based on the
savings being put out at-4 per cent
compound interest. War Savings
Stamps yield raon than 4 per cent.
LEARNING TO MAKE
MONEY ONLY HALF
Wiae Spending Is Also . Kaaattthlt
According to War 8avlrtga
Organization.
LESSONS WILL TEACH
THRIFT IN SCHOOLS
Learning how to make money I
only half. It is learning H&w to
spend wisely and save judiciously that
counts.
Even saving does not fieeessariljr
mean wise spending, since the ifre't
ent day offers so many equivalents ;for
our money. It is only by making 'sv
careful, systematic study of the fcoasa
hold administration that a proper bal
ance may be found between the dif
ferent items hi the average budget bf
the home.
There are items in every household
on which too much money is spent.
The fact must be faced that tt too
much is spent on clothing, for In
stance, less must be spent for otkwr
necessities of life.
Saving, however, is the item that
should be most emphasitad. Poor
houses are full of people who did not
have a savings item on their budgets.
Unemployment, sickness, old age and
many other demands necessitate a call
on the reserve fund, the lack of which
will result in suffering and vrant.
Every going enterprise is conducted
on system. If the home fs to be a suc
cessful institution it must also com
ply with this wise rula of economics.
Systematic household accounting will
make a home more cheerful and pros
perous. Household accounting atone,
however, -will never return its full ben
efit until it is backed by an intelligent
family budget.
One must consider the problem of
whether if is wiser to pay rent "or yi
build a home. In a large measure thla
depends on local conditions as well aa .
the siz-e of the income.
Amusement and recreation are es
sential in family life. The child and
the adult should have an allowance
for this, though the total be very
small, averaging from 4 to 5 per cent
of the income of the family.
The wise spender plans the needs of
the family so that the amount spent ,
in the "miscellaneous" Items will be.
as small as possible. This item should
not be a-"catch all" in home records.
Pamphlets Giving Outline Course May
Be Had by Writing War Loan
Organization.
The War Loan Organization of the
Fifth Federal Reserve District at Rich
mond, Va., has just issued an outline
of a course of thrift for elementary
schools. It is designed especially to
meet the needs of teachers beginning
with chapters for the smallest young
sters and continuing to those for pu
pils up to the eighth grade.
- "Thrift in the Schools" contains
fascinating suggestions for the teach
ing of thrift to tile little ones at the
"Mother Goose" age. Then for the
older children there are many other
ways of bringing the lesson . home.
Geography, hygiene, English reading,
budget making and problems in arith
metic adapt themselves to the teach
ing of thrift.
Besides these items the pamphlet
contains suggestions for morning
talks for-aH grades; tentative read
ing lists, with tie names of the pub
lishers of books included ; and, in each
chapter, a paragraph on the practice
of thrift. ;
The summary of the aims of the
leaflet will probably give the best Idea
of the outline
1. To give the child a broad under
standing of the ; specific facts and
underlying principles of thrift.
2. To train the child in the habits
of conservation and the wise use of
all his resources.
3. To create threugh the schools a
public sentiment in favor of thrift and
economy, and through this public sen
timent, to cultivate the national
habit of thrift.
The War Loa Organization in
Richmqnd will furnish these leaflets
in any quantity, free of charge.
MUCH JUNK FOUND BY
VIRGINIA COMMUNITY
If the frog hadn't slid back he
would have gotten out of the well.
Don't be frog. Keep om buying War
Savings Stamps.
Do you want to take a real vaca
tion? Buy W. S. S.
; Best be certain and not guess. Toi
can save through W. 8. 8.' -
Thrift and junk business are boom
ing at Emporia, Va. "It keeps me
busy running to' the post Office to get
Thrift Stamps to pay for sill the lal
vage that is coming in how,H laid
the proprietor of one of We 'Jiinli
shops, "Where all the Junk comet
from le a constant wonder. No one
would have believed that so much
stuff could have been hidden away in
a town of this size."
Under the voluntary organization
of Mrs. W. B. Goodwyn, of Emporia,
all the housewives1 of the town have
been conducting anl organized salvage
campaign, in oajavi uu" mm - w
plans outlined by the War Loan Or
ganization of the Fifth Federal R.
serve District.
Salvage so collected is sold to the
local junk dealer for its full value 'in
Thrift Stamps. According to arrange
ments already made with htort deal
ers in waste materials in the Fifth
District, wagons will call for Junk
wherever a "Salvage" card is diss
olaved. These cards have been die
tributed all over the State. -
Not only has Emporia found that
this organized campaign jto resulting
in a highly beneficial town "clesuMrp,"
but a source of economic welfare
hardly known before has thus come
to light.
The salvage campaign has proved
so satisfactory In Emporia that junk
wagons are now being run bet to the
surounding towns.
