INTEREST . . .. . . 21 years
On the day I was born my grand
father put $100 in a savings bank
to my credit. It was to become
mine when I was 21. At that time
Eastern saving banks paid 7 per
cent interest. My $100 accumulated
at that rate, compounded annually,
for nine years. Then the interest
rate was cut to 6 per cent and
stayed there until I reached my
majority. ,
A few days after my 21st .birth
day I drew a little more than $550
from the bank. My grandfather's
$100 gift had multiplied itself more
than five times! That was my first
practical lesson in the breeding
power of money.
Nobody can make money at that
rate today except by taking risks
of loss. Most of the banks that
used to pay 6 per cent now pay
2l2. A hundred dollars" in a sav-

is cheaper than it ever has been
in my lifetime which is another
way of saying that prices are higher.
SAVINGS . . . . . . . f
The safest investment for the or
dinary citizen is a. savings bank
account, , especially in a "mutual"
bank, such as those of New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania and
some other states. No depositor in
a mutual bank has lost a cent, I
believe, in fifty years or more. And
nobody makes a cent profit out of
mutual savings bank deposits ex
cept the depositors.
There are more- depositors in
these banks now than ever before,
wrth more money saved up, and
the banks have more assets than
ever. I've just seen the annual re
port of the National Association
of Mutual Savings Banks for the
last year. They have nearly W2
million depositors, with average de-.
posits of $700 each. I call them
our fourteen million smartest citi
zens. Nobody gets rich quick 'putting
money away in a savings bank, but
nobody' who does that goes broke
quick, either.
TAXES . . . ... you- pay
You and I and each of our chil
dren and grandchildren are paying
$100 a year in taxes. The Twentieth
Century Fund reports that is what
the levy of Federal, State and local
governments upon every man, wo
man and child would come to if
the tax burden were evenly distrib
uted. The. Federal Government takes
44 cents of each tax dollar, the
states 20 cents and local govern
ments 36 cents. '
'But I don't pay any such
amount of tax," you may say. Lots
of folks think that . taxes are paid
only by the rich and the big cor
porations. But ask yourself where
the people whose names are on the
tax lists got the money to pay
their taxes..
You and I pay them. The tax
payers can get their money lor
taxes only by selling things to you
and me and all the rest. Every
time you spend a nickle, the store
keeper of whoever takes your
money, is an unofficial tax-collect
or. Your money pays his taxes the
taxes of the people who make
whatever you buy, and the taxes of
your landlord arid all the other
property owners. Think that over.
WORDS . . . . meanings
In my work I have to be careful
about the use of words. Like every
one else, in the writing trade, it is
important for me to be sure, not so
much to se words which every
body understands as that the read
er will understand the word to
mean just what I intend it to
mean. It's no literary crime to
send readers to the dictionary;
that's good for their intelligence.
But when .1 write a word which in
all my experience and by all the
dictionaries means one thing, and
find that its meaning has been
changed in the public mind to mean
something quite different, that's
serious.
I'm thinking now of the word
"Liberal" in its political sense. It
used to mean in politics what it
means in other relations generous,
tolerant, reasonable.
That old meaning seems to have
been thrown away, and men call
themselves Liberals today who are
narrow-minded, intolerant and cer
tainly not respectful of minorities
and their rights.
DEVILS . . . . . . . . ?
It is human nature to believe that
an evil spirit actuates everyone
who does not agree with one. From
that it is but a step to regarding
such persons as devils, and the next
step is to personify groups and
classes of people as devils.
I have heard about the "Money
Devil" ever since boyhood The
Money Devil was a collective term
for all bankers , and others who
tried to collect their interest on
their loans to farmers. The rail
roads were the pet devil for years
of those who blamed them for their
personal, misfortunes. It is. an easy
way to shift responsibility, to blame
everything that goes wrong on an
imaginary devil.

A frown demands a greater ex

50 muscles being brought into ac
tion while frowning, while only 13
are required for a smile.
The yields of soil-depleting clops can be greatly increased by grow
ing them in rotations with soil-conserving and soil-building crops, said
E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State college. The'picture above
shows the results of a 30-year experiment, with the increase in yields
gotten 4)y growing corn, oats, wheat, and clover in a four-year rotation.
No fertilizer or manure was used.

The 60-horsepower Ford V-8 engine
was first developed for Europe, where
fuel costs are high. Two years usage
there proved its unusual economy.
When the "60" came to this country
this year, the Ford Motor Company
made no mileage claims waited for
facts, written on American roads by
American drivers.
Now Ford "60" owners are reporting
averages of 22 to 27 miles on a gallon
, of gasoline. That makes it the most
economical Ford car ever built!
Best of all, the Ford "60" is Just as
big and roomy just as handsome,
sturdy and safe as the famous 85
horsepower Ford V-8. And it sells at
the lowest Ford price in years.
If you want a big car for a small
budget a car you can drive with pride
and profitsee the thrifty "60" soont
