SAYINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uffel* ^Tm Frovradi* Protect!on for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes to
Lay Aald* Part of Earnings.
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.

SHOT BY NEGRO

Call.
Laurens, S. 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

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

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

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

pace, and Mr. Long had to glvq, his at

Good Habit to Get Into
MUCH JUNK FOUND BY
VIRGINIA COMMUNITY
Tbs War Loan Organization of the
Fifth Federal Reserve District at Rich
mond, Va., has Just issued an outline
o< a course of thrift for elementary j
schools. It is designed especially to
meet the needs of teachers, beginning
with chapters for the smallest young
sters and continuing to those for pu
pils up to the eighth grade.
"Thrift in the Schools” contain*
fascinating suggestions for the teach
ing of thrift to the little ones at the
"Mother Goose” age. Then for the
older children there are many other
ways of bringing th# lesson home.
Geography, hygiene, English reading,
budget making and problems in arith
metic adapt themselves to the teach
ing of thrift.
Besides these items the pamphlet
contains suggestion# for morning
