I fh f '"5i?'jTs BANKS ORDERING HAND GRENADES ' Over 175,000 Children In Fifth District Will Be Routing Enemy, Waste, - During Summer Months. Richmond, Va. According 'to the latest available figures orer fire hun dred banks In the JHfth Federal Reset-re District have or&ered supplies of hand grenade pennynsavings banks that are to be used by the children for summer savings. The total number ef hand grenades that have been or dered exceeds 17S.000. The plan of the hand grenade bank originated In the Treasury Depart ment, j and the banks are being dis tributed in this district byV the ''War Loan Organization here. Every school child under the age of seventeen years may, by applying at the local bank, re eeive one of these hand grenade penxy-banks as a loan for the vaca tion period. If, during the summer, enough money is saved to purchase ae or more War Savings Stamps the fcank becomes the property of the tfcild. The banks are made out of real hand grenades that were to have been used against the Huns. With percussion eap and high explosive removed, and slots cut to receive and take out coins, they are now doing service . against the enemy, waste, as hanks for sav ings. School officials all over the district are enthusiastic about the plan, as they feel that it will not only keep alive but strengthen the thrift ideals that already have been implanted in the minds of the children. J. H. Bmf ord, assistant superinten dent of public schools here, has en dorsed the scheme, in a recent letter expressing the hope lhat all the banks in the district would co-operate by get ting supplies of the hand grenades, as the school children are enthusiastic" about securing them. OBJECT IS TO MAKE PEOPLE PROSPEROUS Government Much Interested In Series of War Saving Societies That Are Rapidly Being Organized. ' Ooverninent officials at Washing ton are watching with no little Inter est the growth of a series of societies springing up all over the United States. They have .already attained a membership that reaches well up into . . me millions. Treasury department official! are particularly Interested in this move meat, and it is fostered by that de partment. As soon sft a society is formed the names . of the "president, secretary and each individual mem ber are placed in the treasury depart ment archives. These societies are War Savings Societies, 'and the motive of each so ciety is Thrift. The government, in favoring these organisations, has not only in view the replenishing of the United States treasury through the sale of Thrift and War- Savings Stamps, but the big idea Is to cause eaeh individual member to learn the value to himself of being thrifty. The -government is not seeking to divert capital from legitimate com mercial enterprises. It does not want to tie up vast sums. It is the person who has never saved systematically that it is the most apxious to reach. This person . can put ' aside the small , amounts that he has been accustomed to spend,' and this, drawing four per cent compound interest,, will in an. to J credibly short time grow into a large enough sum to make the first, pay ment on a heme, or to provide a sum . with which, one may make a perma nent investment - AGENTS CARRYING MESSAGE OF THRIFT Harold Brsddock, Director of 8ivlngs Division Writes Letter of Ap preciation to Each of Eigh teen Hundred Workers. First-hand - information and sugges tions as to how to obtain increased efficiency and prosperity may now be obtained by women . on the farm. In any part of the country, from the horn demonstration agents of the depart ment of agriculture. , Entering into the national savings movement with a sest that characterizes all their work, some eighteen hundred of these home demonstration agents have been carry ing the message ot thrift into the farm houses . all over the United States. In appreciation of their voluntarily undertaken work, Director Braddock has written a letter to each worker, of commendation, which, reads in part: "Thrift is primarily the people's con cern. If thrift is to become a perma nent national asset; the people's agen cies and organizations must; definitely, assume their share of responsibility for inculcating thrift by including it in their program for action. Schools,, churches, business and labor organisa tions, fraternal societies and women's organizations, as well as agricultural workers and agencies, are already un dertaking this work and, are, in close co-operation with. the treasury de partment." According to Mr. Braddock's letter, plans for the creation of savings facile lties in the -home are outlined as, fol lows: . "1. Habit of saving first some part of income for future needs and of spending wisely for present needs. "2. Home betterment fund, to se cure, ' for, example, running water In the house. "S. Savings plan for every boy and; girl. "4. Savings fund in government se curities for every family. "5. Keeping of accounts to pro mote, wise- spending, and to Increase savings. "6. Safe investment of savings CNos. I, t, 4) in government securt ties until money is needed; War Sav ings Stamps as a desirable tnvesi ment." EASY TO SAVE . By the same token that the best way to have anything is do it yourself, the! best way to get ahead in the world is save regularly and invest wisely. Your children may be buying Thrift fi tamps but the nickels and dimes and quarters they are able to save won't buy a new automobile or a home or -a cultivator. The money to do that will not be saved unless you save it. It's easy enough to. save if you do it the W. S. S. way. Quarters planted in Thrift Stamps- grow- into War -Savings Stamps, and - the , Interest maktf them grow like rain does a summer flower. Save for that happy opportu nity. If you're not in a War Savings Society get in one. Be with the crowd. ' . . "Nothing is final!" said Napoleon fter the -battle of Jena. In days of prosperity insure against emergencies.
