SAVINGS MADE SAFE FOR SMALL INVESTOR Unole Sam ProvldJtt Promotion for Thrifty Citizen Who WiihM to Lay Aalda Part of Earning*. This la tha day of the small invea tor. The war opened the eyee of some 50.000,000 Americans to the benefits of Investing in government securities; it' minimised to the eame extent tha 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. Kvery small investor should realize j that a dollar aaved while money le the cheapest commodity offered will purchase twice as much of almost any other commodity within four or five years, so thai, in addition to the in terest that War Ravings or other gov- I emment 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. 1 A great French banker was once asked the socret of french thrift, ana he replied, '^Compound Interest.'' Just as constant waste, even is little things, may change one's life from success to failure, so the steady sav ing of money will evontually bring independence, if not actual wealth. There are very few persons who cannot, without inconvenience, lay aside 10 oents a day. Within ten years one's daily savings of this in significant sum will amount to 9365. in addition to $80. M compound in terest, making a total of $446.36. By saving 15 cents a day for ten years, with interest ' compounded at 4 per cent, one will hare the comfort able sum of $668.18; 20 cents a day will net $890.95. Save 60 cents a day for ten years and there is $2,227.75. A dollar a day will make a total of $ 4 , 4 r> f? . 74 for the ten-tear Period. AM these fl fires are based on tiie savings being put out at 4 per cent compound interest. War Savings Stamps yield more than 4 per cent.

LEARNING TO MAKE MONEY ONLY HALF Wise 8pendlng It Also Essential According to War Savings Organization. Learning how to make money is only half. It' is learning how to spend wisely and save judiciously that counts. Even saving does not necessarily mean wis? spending, since the pres ent day offers so many equivalents for our money. It is only by making a careful, systematic study of the house hold administration that a proper bal ance may bo 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 if too much Is spent on clothing, for in stance, loss must be spent for other necessities of life. Saving, however, is the Item that should be most emphasized. Poor houses aro full of people who did not have a savings item on their budgets. Unemployment, sickness, old age and many other demands necessitate a call on the reserve fund, the lack of which will result in suffering and want. Every going enterprise Is conducted on system. If the home is to be a suc cessful institution it must also com ply with this wise rule of economic*. Systematic household accounting will mako a home more cheerful an# pros perous. Household accounting alone, however, will never return Its full ben efit until It is backed by an Intelligent family budget. One must consider ths problem of whether It is wiser to pay rent or to build a home. In a large measure this depends on local conditions as well us the sine of the income. Amusement and recreation are es sential in family life. The child and the adult should have an allowance for this, though the total be very small, averaging from 4 to 5 per cent of the income of the family. The wise sppnder plans the needs of the family so that the amount spent In the "miscellanedus" Items will be as small as nos.-.ible. This item should not be a "catch all" 1n home records.
