WONDERFUL ST] Cut ww ^ MISER SAVER BIG SUM BUT ONLY TO LOSE IT v.Man Did Nht Follow Principles of Thrift?Sole Idea Was to Hoard His Money, Spending Nothing. A modern Midas of Chicago, who had accumulated $300,000 by never spending anything, recently was de-: clared incapable of handling his af-i" fairs. He became incapable not because he amassed $300,000 but because 1 of the way he accumulated it. He es tranged his family, went to bed with 1 the chickens to avoid spending money 3 on lights and lived on $55 a year. Then he ran afouhof the puzzling in- ( come tax law and now his children are ; i to handle his beloved savings. Th:si< modem Midas was not a thrifty man. < He was a miser. True thrift enhances j and increases the wealth of the world. 1 Hoarding money benefits neither the 1 miser nor his fellows. Wise spending < is as essential as wise saving, and ,1 wise investment is as important as either; wise spendingf^jr the comforts m and pleasures of life as well as the j < necessities makes for the thriftiest ji life and stimulates production. Wise < investment makes possible the crea- j tion of new wealth. \ The miser saves but spends noth-:; ing. He secures only the meager sat- t i8faction of watching his pile of money , gnrow. The wise exponent of thrift and sound investment has the com-; T forts and pleasures of life and saves ' j at the same time. The foolish man ;; i j 1 spends his money for what he neither j needs nor really wants; does not at- } tain the comforts and lasting pleas- i ures of life and saves nothing. j, If the modern miser of Chicago had ! j spent wisely he Vould have had years i ] of comfort and happiness instead of , years of squalor and want. If he had saved wisely he would have had the j( love an'd respect of his family and as- ^ ; soci&tes. If he had invested wisely he would have been competent to han-, > die his own affairs. "Waste not?want not" is still the modern axiom of thrift but "want not" j, must not be interpreted to mean not ;r wanting the things that make life worth the living. Don't be a modem |. Midas.

Harriman, who died :a leaving an estate of $75,000,000. cred- v its him with one day picking up a i small steel letter clip dropped on the ! floor by a careless employee.

Co-operation and co-ordination of government departments in aid of the national movement to promote regular saving, wise buyin#, sound investment snd reinvestment are shown in a recent report to the Treasury Department. Five departments?Treasury. Labor, Commerce, Agriculture and the interior?are always carrying out plans characteristic of their special domains rf work designed to accomplish the general aim?thrift. Not only are :he same principles held in common. Dut ideas and material are interchang?d and employed to further the par;icular lines of each department's vork. In the Treasury Department the Savings Division is endeavoring to >ring home the value of sensible economy as a pr.nciple of living; to interpret thrift, not as miserliness, jut as the wise management of one's iffairs. taking heed cf present and fuure needs and steadily saving for vorthwhile pure-liases, to take advantige of an opportunity or against a ainy day. The Savings Division of'ers the Thrift Stamps and War Savngs Stamps a practical inducement :o acquring the power of a financial -eserve. Realizing that saving is greatly Simulated by having a definite object n view, t' e Department of Labor has . aunched an OWN YOUR HOME novement. The Department of Commerce, in onjunction with the Council of Naional Defense, is engaged in a BUY COW. BUT ONLY WHAT YOU s'BED. campaign. The Department of Agriculture has' mdertaken to have its county agents ind home demonstration agents, lumbering several thousand men and vomen, include the message of thrift n all their work.. In the Department of the Interior he Bureau of Education is making hrift an important part of it* Amerianization program and of its schools nd library work. The Indian Bureau ias issued material and called on all gents ts. assist in bringing home the alue of intelligent saving and saf? ^vestment to the Indian service.

The striking and delightfully original sentence stands out conspicuous'* as a slogan for advertisers in the Govington Mows: "An ad in The News is Worth I'our the Fence." The Covington News is a very; much alive and a bright and influen- i tial country weekly newspaper, typi- ! cal of the high general average of! Georgia's splendid weekly press. The bold, uncompromising deelara-j *ion that "An ad in The News is worth i four on the fence" is not only true in I ......... its literal application, but equally true ! as to the value of advertising in every j other weekly newspaper in Georgia, ' of equal circulation and standard. j Because, when all is said and done. !, or all the other publications, newspaI per and otherwise, that circulate j among the rural people, none has the ! intimate appeal and the pulling power j1 of the home paper?of the country!; weekly. i I We Are! ?
