MORE THAN BILLION HAS BEEN PUT INTO SAVINGS SECURITIES REDEMPTIONS ARE GROWING ?MALLER AS WISE INVESTORS RECEIVE INTEREST ON THEIR MONEY Moro than one thousand million dollars ha\3 been invested in Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates by wise and thrifty persons iii this country, ac cording to an official report recently compiled. Of this amount, over $730, 000,000 is now outstanding, and In vestments are steadily increasing. The banner year, of course, was 1918, when there was a strong patriotic appeal. Total sales for 1918 wore $971,913, 000 During 1919, when the sales cam paign was based on national thrift rather than patriotism,, $165,300,000 was brought into tho Treasury, and in 1920 the total was $43,892,000. Re demptions to date include $378,254,000 of the 1918 series, $33.441,000 of the 1919 series, $8,080,000 of the 1920 is sues and about $135,000 of tho 1921 series. Ofllclnls of the savings division point out that by far the greater pro portion of the redemptions are of tho 1918 series, which Indicates that the moro recent issues are being pur chased by individuals who plan to hold them to maturity. The certificates pay 4 per cent in terest, compounded quarterly, which is equivalent to approximately 4 Vi per cent, if held for the full five years. Thoso who present the certificates for redemption prior to the maturity date receive about 3 per cont. Interest. Sav-a tho "small change" usually .pout; it may mean a "big change" In your later life.

(Rest) STOCKS AND BONDS ARE NOW USED FOR WRAPPING BUNDLES BUT WORTHLESS RUSSIAN NOTES ARE JUST AS VALUABLE AS MANY FAKE SCHEMES OFFERED HERE Destitute peasants at Milau, Laiivia, are carrying home lood wrapped lu thousand -rouble securities, but they are not a bit elated over the facL When an American Red Cross unit reached Mltau recently and opened up headquarters in u vacant bank build ing, bales of formerly valuable securi ties were lound heaped in a cornel-. They vere beautifully engraved on tine bond paper, but their value was absolutely nothing. As paper was scarce, the crisp bonds and slocks '.vero utilized as wrapping paper by the lied Cross workers. If the safe deposit boxes and bureau drawers and trunk trays of America were emptied, thousands of bales ol securities equally valueless would be uncovered. Millions have been in vested by Americans within the last year in stocks which are worth no more than the securities of the de funct government of Imperial Russia. Some investors are continuing to buy beautifully engraved certificates good for nothing but wrapping paper a!, the price of prod table investments. Warnings by the hundreds have been Issued against Cake steck sales men and fraudulent promoters, but lt is often difficult to determine between a fake investment and one which has a chance of success and profit, and vic tims continue to lose their hard earned savings. One sure method of protec tion is to invest in the securities backed and protected by the govern ment of the United States. Treasury Savings Securities (War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certi ficates) will return a sure profit,, are proof against loss or depreciation, and may be had at your post office. The stability of the (Jutted States, not of Russia, guarantees this and the prom ise to pay of this nation, never yet broken, is a better surety than the promise of any "get rich quick," sales man or promoter. HARDING URGES THRIFT AS AN IMPERATIVE DUTY SAYS RIGID AND SANE ECONOMY MUST BE PRACTICED BY NA TION TO RESTORE NOR MAL CONDITIONS Tho note struck by President Hard? ing In his address relativo to the nee essity of putting "our public house? hold in order," is one fraught with meaning to millions of individuals in this country who have made iittle ef fort to put their private households in good shape. The urge of thrift and economy is strongest with too many only when a financial pinch comes. Yet this pinch will seldom be felt if, as President Harding says, we prac tice "a rigid and yet sane economy attended by individual prudence and thrift which are so essential to this trying hour and reassuring for tito fu ture." Thrift ls commendable at all times. Individual financial emergencies aro continually arising and to set one's household in order by planning a pro ginni of "rigid yet sane economy, at tended by individual prudenco and thrift" is to ward off tho serious con sequences of such emergencies. Among the millions of American wage-earners those who were thrifty havo been least concerned about high prices or busi ness depression. In getting a good work started, there Is no time like the present. And in getting the good work of thrift and economy started, there is nothing like getting interested in the Savings Movement of the United States Treas, ury Department. The home of every American citizen who neods to have his household put in order will be hap pier in all that that work can imply, when tho message of thrift and econ omy of thc Savings Movement reachea lt.

Without uniform standards for farm produce there is no recognized bnsls ; for the business of buying and selling, says the bureau of markets, United States Department Of Agriculture. Standardization of products gives seller and purchaser a common lan guage and a set quality upon which prices may be compared and fixed. Ex ! porlence has shown that the products which are sold by grade find a better market, bring letter prices, and can be handled at less expense than thostvsold without reference to standards. Stand ards have already been fixed for many farm commodities, such as American j Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat, i .atts, and for small fruit containers. j These Federal standards apply only j when the product is intended for In j terstate or foreign commerce. It ls I highly Important to secure state co i operation so that the provisions that j apply to a few products will apply to nil that are offered for sale. DIARY OF MUCH IMPORTANCE Well Adapted to Cost-Accounting Rec ords When Information Wanted on Few Enterprises. A diary is well adapted to cost accounting records when Information ls wanted on only a few farm enter prises, soy specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. If the diary ls written up each day lt takes but a moment to enter the hours and minutes spent In working the crop, and the necessary notes regarding the eost of seed, fertilizer, and equipment. The common form of diary ls a book containing n blank page for each day's record and with space In tito hack for financial accounts. Another form has a page for each doy divided to give space to the records of two yearn. A similar type furnishes space for a five year period. Business Failures Decreasing.

The home gardener who- cnn get a load of well-rotted stable manure need not worry about fertilizer, anyone who has ever done any gardening is well aware. Manure contains humus In plenty and all the necessary plant materials, as well ns bacteria which put these materials into the most usable shape for crops. To get the full benefit of stable manure, however, it should be balanced with acid phosphate, which is comparatively inexpensive, garden ers at the Iowa state college of agri culture say. An application of one ton of stable manure, which is about an average two-horse load, ls not too much for a garden 30 by 00 feet, and 50 pounds of ach? phosphate muy be used with lt. Fresh stable manure should not be applied in the spring. It contains too much readily available nitrogen and may cause in some plants a growth of stems and leaves at the expense of fruits. This ls especially true of to matoes. UTILIZATION OF FARM LAND Value of Plaoe Depends Upon What Proportion ; of Total Area Can Be Made Productive. Kffcctlve utilization of farm land mentis a high percentage of income producing area, say specialists of tho United States Department of Agricul ture. The value of a farm depends upon what proportion of Its total area ls productive. Compare a farm of 100 acres at $200 an acre, 0& Acres bern* in simile to yield available products, with another fa i'm of the same acre age at $150 an acre, but With only Of? productive acres. If all the other fea tures of tlie two farms are similar, tile former should be the most prolit able because its profit-producing land costs but $120 an acre against $280 an nore on the second farm.
