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 |.

FIVE DEPARTMENTS
ARE AIDING THRIFT
/
Government Bureaus Are Co-operating
to Promote Widespread Savings
Among All Classes of People.
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.

INTEREST
Here is what one man did. If yon
on't know him you know some or.e
ist like him in your community.
Twenty years ago he owned "the
lothes he stood in and that was about
11.
He saved fifty dollars the first, year;
i? next year, with a little better
^ges, seventy-five.
One thing with another?a wife and
imily included?he has saved an j
verage of five dollars a week for
wenty years. j
What he saved in twenty years was I
bout five thousand dollars. What, be
as is twice five thousand?like :he
lan in the parable.
His dollars working for b;m now |
ring him more than his yearly saving. |

THE COUNT!
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.
