This is the day of the small inToa* tor. Th* war opened the eyes of some 50,000,000 Americans to the benefits of investing in government securities; it minimized to the same extent th* 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 realise that a dollar saved while money is the cheapest commodity offered will purchase twice as much of almost any other commodity within four or five years, so that, in addition to th* in terest that War Ravings 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 ing. Amounts that seem Insignificant soon pile up into figures that are im pressive. A great Preach banker was once asked th* secret of French thrift, anu he replied, ‘’Compound interest.” Just as constant waste, even in little things, may change one’s life from success to failure, so the steady sarv Ing of money* will eventually bring independence, if not actual wealth. There afe very few rersons who cannot, without Inconvenience, lay s^de 10 cents a •Jay. Within ten year*, ^"e’s w* savings of this in- signifidaMf. ftm will amount to $365, in additfo4 to 950.36 compound in terest, making a total of 9445.36. By saving II cents a day for ten years, with Interest compounded at 4 per cent, one will have the comfort able sum of 966S.1S; 20 cents a day will net 9600.99. Save 50 cents a day for ten years and there Is 92.927.75. A dollar a day will make a total of 34,456.74 for the ten-year period. All these flgtres are based on &e savings being put out at 4 per cent compound interest. War Savings Stamps yield more than 4 per coat LEARNING TO MAKE JQNEYONLY HALF Wlae Spending Is Alee leeewtlal According to War Savings Organization. LESSONS WILL TEACH THRIFT IN SCHOOLS Learning how to •make money is only half. It is learning how lo spend wisely and save judiciously that counts. Even saving does not necessarily mean wise spending, since the pres ent day offers so many equivalents flow our money. It is only by making a careful, systematic study of the house hold administration that a proper bal ance may be found between the dif ferent items in the average budget of the home. There are items in every household on which too much money Is. spent The fact must 'be faced that U too much is spent on clothing, for ia< stance, less must be spent for other necessities of life. Saving, however, is th* item that should be most emphasized. Poor houses are full of people who did net have a savings item os their budgets, Unemployment, sickness, olfi age and many other demand* necessitate a call on the reserve fund, th* lack of which will re*£U Tn suffering and want. Skbry going enterprise is conducted system. If the %ome is to be a sue cessful institution it must also com ply with this wise rule of economics Systematic household accounting wW make a home more cheerful ana pros perous. Household accounting alone however, will never return its full ben eflt until it is backed by an intelligent family budget. One must consider the problem oi whether it is wiser to pay rent or U build a home. In a large measure thli depends on local conditions as well a< the size of the income. Amusement and recreation are so sential in family life. Th* child and the adult should have an allowanct for this, though the total be v*o small, averaging from 4 to 9 per cent of the income of the family. The wlae spender plans the needs ok the family so that the amount spent ta the "miscellaneous” items will b« as small as possible. This item should not be a “catch all” in hem* records.

C., July 2, (Special*— - Mr. Geo. C. Anderson, who lives be- tween Waterloo >and Mountvllle, was sffot through the left jaw with a pls~ tot by a negro hand on the place of Mr. Artemua Long Thursday evening about dusk. The bullet entered the jaw - r below the teeth, fracturing it and pass ing through his mouth to the right jaw where it knocked out two teeth and spent its force. It fell back into the pit of the mouth and was spit out up on the ground. The negro escaped and has not yet been apprehended. It appears that the negro, Austin Griffin by name, had been upbraided by Mr. Artemus Long several days be fore tor failure to perform his work in a proper manner and was doubtless nursing a grievance on this account. Thursday evening, Mr. Long went down to his farm, the Mandy Jones place, to look after some mules which Were fe W"pasfffTe7“ 'Mr. AWerson: with children of both, accompanied him. Arriving at the farm Mr. Long went to the pasture to look after the mules, leaving Mr. Anderson In the car with the children. Austin Griffin drove up in a biiggy with another ne gro using vile and unwarranted lan guage. Mr. Anderson told him to stop using such improper language in the presence of the children, but the negro continud without heeding the remon- stance. Mr. Anderson then got out of the car determined to put a stop to the cursing by force. He reached for the whip in the negro’s buggy, but the negro drew a pistol from his pocket and shot tw'ice. The first bullet missed its mark, but the second took effect. Mr. Anderson fell to the ground and the negro fled. 2$r. Long, hearing the pistol shot, rushed back to find out the trouble. Th?, negro was already near ly out of sight, driving at a furious pace, and Mr. Long had to glvq, his at tention to Mr. Anderson allowing the negro to escape entirely.
