liANY LOST FORTUNE
TRYING TO GET RICH
Hundreds Caught Under Stock Mai
Icct Landslide But Those Who
Invested in Government Se
curities Are Safe.
Whether or not many persons from
this section were "caught" in1 the re
cent slump of the New York market
probably will never be known, and
there Is no way of estimating the
amount of" money lost. But it is dfl
"aifely known that many men and per
haps a number of women were badly
"stunf" and that their losses ran far
Into the millions of dollars.
It goes without saying, of course,
that their losses came from the mar
ket collapse of certiin securities or
becsuse they were usable to weather
the storm when stocks, which they had
bought on margin, suddenly depre-
eiated. In other words, much of the
loss .was oecause men ana women
lured by the promise of great profits
matched their wits with the old wa
horses of the speculation game, and
u a result many littlo fortunes were
utterly wiped out. ,
Many business men realized some
lime ago that certain market quota
tions la Wall Street were, abnormal
af course all of them realised the
risk of speculating on vague promises
of profit and warning after warning
as issued to the men and women of
moderate means not to endanger the'r
money in any get-rich-quick scnm
whlch might be offered. .
Those persons who invented the'r
laTings in such standard securities as
Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, or
Treasury Savings Certificates or War
Barings Stamps intending to hold to
maturity, were not caught in the land
ilide. for government securities are
Hways redeemed at full face value
upon maturity. They provide the beat
Protection in the world and the m?n
or woman whose investments arj
represented by such securities and
who holds these securities is always
absolutely safe regardless of anything
that may happen in the speculative
itock markets of the country.
Of course the immediate market
talue of Liberty Bonds and Victory
Notes fluctuates, 'but holders of these
ecurities may resr absolutely easy
because the changes in the "market
prices of 'hese government securities
are far less than in other bonds and
their intrinsic worth with the Govern
ment back, of them demands that on
maturity they will be paid for at Just
actly one hundred cents on the dol
"Better safe than 'sorry." .
KING GETS THRIFT STAMP.
Somewhere in the personal effects
of King Albert of Belgium reposes a
thrift card with a United States Gov
ernment Thrift Stamp attached. The
la8 is that much ahead. There is a
u in San Francisco who is that much
cut.
As Kin5 Albert stepped into his au
tomobile afttr the official reception in
San Francisco, Richard Siprelle, elev
n Tears old. leaped upon the running
rard to sell the king a Thrift Stamo.
e thrust the card and stamp into the
klnts hand. The king looked at him
nl then said-smilingly; "Thank
you-" Then the king's car lurched for-

MILLIONS ARE SAVED
BY SHALL DEPOSITS
Banks of Country Have Twenty-Seven
Hundred Thousand Accounts Fig
urea Announced at Convention
8how.
There are 27,600.000 savings ban!:
depositors in the United States, ac
cording to figures published at the
convention of the (American Bankers',
Association here. In compiling these'
figures due allowance was made for
duplications. Investigation by the
bankers has proved that theso sav
ing bank depositors are, with few ex
ceptions, people of small means,' but
they are the people who absorbed in
large measure the war issues of gov
ernment securities, Thrift and "War
Savings Stamps, Savings Certificates
and Liberty Bonds AND ARE KEEP
ING THEM.
Not only did they buy and hold gov
ernment securities, but those invest
ments led to additional savings, con
solidated the habit of thrift and in
creased bank deposits throughout the
entire nation. These 27,000,0:00 depos
itors now own $10,573,971,000 of sav
ings. This is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities,
homes and industries of the nation.
These savers financed the war suc
cessfully, and on their continuation
of the production of new capital,
through savings, rests the solution
for financing reconstruction and for
the increase of production necessary
to check the high cost of living,
bankers agree.
The government savings securities
and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means
for the production of this new capital.
They are adapted for investment of all
sums no matter how great or small.
They are the safest security possible.
They are profitable and readily con
vertible into cash should necessity
arise. .
CHARGE OF THE STAMP BRIGADE,
Just a stamp, just a stamp.
Just a stamp onward;
Into the valley of life
Go many hundred.
Stormed at by costs and bills.
Boldly they faced their ills, J
Bravely cut out all frills,
; And bought a hundred. .
High cost to right of them, high cost
to left of tnem,
High cost behind them volleyed and
thundered.
But they kept saving on, Just as they
had begun
Till they'd a hundred.
When will the high cost fade?
O, the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
So let us fight the scamps
With more War Savings Stamps,
Stamps by the hundred.

EARN MORE INTEREST
ON CONVERTED BONDS
Government Will Receive Older Issue
in Exchange ftfr Newer Securities
Yielding Higher Rate of
' Income.
t More than S900.000 in increased in
terest will be paid within the next she
't months to owners of bonds of the
Second Liberty Loan and- Ihe First
'Liberty Loan Converted, if they pre
jsent their holdings at once for oon
' version into 4 1-4 per cent bonds.
This announcement, which of course
applies only to those bond holders
who have not convarted their securi
'ties already, has just been made by
.the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
- mond. Government statistics show
. that there are outstanding in the
' United States about $750,000,000 of
.those bonds which have not been con-
verted, a block of no small sixe being
: owned, it is believed, in this state.
, Owners of bonds of the Second Lib
lerty Loan should have them convert
red before November 15, 1919. Bonds
i of the First Liberty Loan Converted
' ought to be presented for conversion
'before December 15, 1919. These
'securities will be received by local
banks in exchange for either coupon
for registered 4 1-4 bonds. The new
rates of interest will begin on the
dates given.
! However, unless the bonds are pre
( sented for conversion before Novem
' ber 15, and December 15, respective-
ly, the 4 1-4 per cent rate of interest
will not begin until May 15, 1920, in
the case of the Second Liberty Loan
and not until June 15, 1920 on the
bonds of the First Liberty Loan Con
verted. In other words, by waiting
until after November 15 and Decem
ber 15, respectively, the holders of the
converted bonds, as indicated, would
lose six months interest at one-fourth
of one per cent, which on all the un
converted bonds outstanding of the
issues named would amount to more
than $900,000. 1
Bonds of the First Liberty Loan
originally paid 3 1-2 per cent. Bonds
of the Second Liberty Loan carried
interest at the rate of 4 per cent
Holders of the. First Liberty LJ)an
were therefore allowed to convert
their 3 1-2 per cent bonds into 4 per
cent securities known as First Lib
erty Loan Converted. A great many
subscribers took advantage of this
offer. Now those who did so and all
holders of bonds of the Second Loan
may again increase their interest re
turn by converting their holdings into
4 1-2 per cent bonds, this being the
interest rate of the Third and Fourth
Liberty Loans.

TEXT BOOKS WILL BE
FURNISHED TEACHERS
Two Courses Are Issued by Treasury
Department and Will be Sent
Free Upon Request
To further the teaching of thrift in
the schools the United States Treas
ury ' Department has issued two text
books, copies of which may be had by
any teacher desiring them. One to
designed for use in elementary
schools. It gives a suggested outline,
the purpose being to shape the habits
and character of the school child in
the formative period of his life. The
second book known as "Fifteen Les
sons in Thrift" is to be used in th3
high schools and naturally is more
advanced in the treatment of the sub
ject. The books are being handled in this
district by William R. Timmons, di
rector of the Educational Division of
the War Loan Organisation, at Rich
mond, Va. Mr. Timmons will be glad
to send copies of the books free of
charge to all principals, teachers and
instructors who are 'interested in the
Lsubject. . ' ...
In both pamphlets the lessons are
sufficiently flexible to permit the in
troduction of such local material as
has particular interest and value.
Thrift and the principle of saving
are now being taught in hundreds of
schools throughout the country, hav
ing been incorporated it the regular
work and assigned a pkee on the
schedule ranking with other more im
portant subjects, it being now recog
nized that the study of thrift is be
coming more and more necessary in
order that the pupil may be better
equipped for the problems of life.
MORE THAN ONE WAY
TO PRACTICE SAVINC
There are ways and ways of barring
the door against the wolf. But until
kix months ago David Broderick, oi
Niagara Falls, N. Y., had never learn
ed how to slip the bolt into place. Con
victed of a minor offense last January,
he was placed on probation, and or
dered to take $12 a week to the pro
batlon officer.
Broderick protested, saying that 11
was impossible for him to pay so
much, but agreed to try when he real
ized that a jail sentence was the al
ternative. Each week since that time
he has paid in his twelve dollars, and
at the expiration of the six mohtht
term he was handed $230.50 worth oi
War Savings Stamps, the result of hit
saving.
When the justice entered his couri
room the next day he found on hit
desk' a cigar wrapped in the following
note signed by Broderick. "You'ro a
friend of mine. Good luck, , Judge.
Bro&erick is now under a voluntary
probation period of indefinite length
promising to bring in $10 a week tc
continue his savings investment.

Rev. Di.. William H. Milton
The Rev. Dr. William H. Milton,
who is a member of the Joint Com
mission on the Episcopal Nation-Wide
Campaign, has been identified with the
movement . since its inception. St.
James Parish, Wilmington, N. C,
where he has been rector since 1909,
released him temporarily at there
quest of the Board of Missions that
he might head the Editorial and Pub
lication Department in the preliminary
organization for the movement. His
call came because of his reputation as
scholar and author, and because his
Church has become the largest per
capita giver to missions in the entire
Episcopal Church.
Dr. Milton began his work with the
Church in 1892 as a missionary in,
Nottaway and Lunenberg, Va. In
1894 he went to the Henshaw Mem
orial Church in 'Baltimore, and five
years later to St John's in Rapnoke, Va.
The purpose of the Nation-Wide
Campaign is to arouse every member
of the church to its responsibilities and
opportunities in the present crucial era
of reconstruction; to send out 1500
new workers' that the church may ex
pand its- educational, hospital and so
cial service work at home and abroad.
More than one hundred thousand men
and women are workers in this tre
mendous campaign. '
