A dollar will buy 27 pounds of wheat now. What will be the purchasing power of a dollar when the war is over? Is it not probable a dollar will purchase as much wheat or any other commodity four years from now as it did four years ago? 1 If it will, a dollar saved now and during the present period of high commodity prices will be worth, in addition to the 4 per cent compound interest it will earn if deposited depos-ited in our Savings Department, twice aa much in purchasing pur-chasing power when the ww is ovar.
