INTEREST *1 Tears
On the day I was born my
grandfather put SIOO in a savings
bank to my credit. It was to be
come mine when I was SI. At that
time Eastern savings banks paid
7 per-eent interest. My SIOO ac
cumulated at that rate, com
pounded annually, for nine years.
Then the interest rate was cut
to 6 percent and stayed there un
til I reached my minority.
A few after my 21st birth
day I drew a little more than $550
from the bank. My grandfather's
gift had multiplied itself more
than five times! That was my
first practical lesson in the breed
ing 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 percent now
pay 2Vx- A hundred dollars in a
saving bank at that rate would
grow to only $167.58 in 21 years.
Money is cheaper than it ever has
been in my lifetime—which is an
other way of saying that prices
are higher.

account, especially In a "mutual"
bank, such as those of Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania
and some other states. No deposit
or 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 except the depositors.
There are more depositors in
these banks now than ever before,
with more money saved up, and
the banks have more assets than
ever. I've just seen the annual re
port of the National Association i
of Mutual Savings Banks for the
last year. They have nearly 14 ;
million depositors, with average
deposits of S7OO each. I call them
our fourteen million smartest cit
izens. i
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 pay- ;
ing SIOO a year in taxes. The (
Twentieth Century Fund reports j
that is what the levy of Federal
State and local governments upon \
every man, woman and child .
would come to if the tax burden \
were evenly distributed. The Fed- ]
eral Government takes 44 cents (
of each tax dollar, the states 20
cents and local governments 36 j
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 for
taxes only by selling things to you 1
and me. and all the rest. Every

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 use words which
everybody understands as that the
reader will understand the word
to mean just what I intended it
to mean. It's no literary crime to
send readers to the dictionary;
that's good for their intelligence.
But when I 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.
"Liberal" in its political sense. It
used to mean in politics what it
means in other relations—gener
ous, tolerant, reasonable.
That old meaning seems to have
been thrown away, and men call
themselves Liberals today who
are narrow-minded, intolerant
and certainly not respectful of
minorities and their rights.

DEVILS . ?
It is human nature to believe
that an evil spirit actuates every
one who does not agree with one.
Prom that it is but a step to re
garding 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.

CO Seed Beds
BREED IN MILD WEATHER
Small maggots have been found
in many North Carolina tobacco
seed beds this season.
They are the young, or larval
stage, of a midge that looks like
a gnat or a very small mosquito,
said Dr. B. B. Pulton, research
entomollgist at State College. |
These maggots attacked plant'
beds in the spring of 1933, but
were not found again In appre
ciable numbers until this year, he
added.
Mild winters seem to aid their
breeding.
In 1933 it was found that naph
thalene flakes scattered under
the seed bed cloth at the rate of i
one and a half pounds to 100
square yards would kill the mag
gots.
Napthalene, a chemical by-pro
duct of coal tar and inexpensive
to buy, gives the best form of con
trolling the maggots, Dr. Fulton
continued.
Tobacco growers *vho wish .to
treat their beds should buy the
material under the name naph
thalene flakes, which is the chem
ical name, and is not patented, he
said.
If it Is offered under some other
name, the buyer should find out
what proportion of the product is
naphthalene, and determine
whether he is paying more for it
that way than he would be by
purchasing the naphthalene in its
! regular form.
Dr. Fulton said the midge mag
gots are harmful only to very
small seedlings, and then only
when the maggots are numerous
enough to powder the surface of
the soil.
