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.

Tho War Loan Organization of the

of ? oours* of thrift for elementary

meet the needs of teachers, beginning
wUh chapters tor the smaJlest young

"Thrift In the Schools" contains
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
wiirs of bringing tho lesson home.
Geography, hygiene, English reading,
budget making and problems in arith
metic adant themselves to the teach
ing of thrift.
Besides these items tho pan ?hlet
contains suggestions tor morning

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.
