OAISFOUD, JR.. ..EDITOR THE NATION'S PAY CHECK Nearly .forty-four million people, two-fifths of the population, arc (ainfuily employed in thi country. They and the businesses nil pr-fetwiorm pr-fetwiorm in w hich they engage earn more than !(!(;0,0K),(JX),(KM) yearly. The handling of the expenditure of this $60,000,000,000 American pay check, is the country's biggvat and moat important business. It has been estimated that approximately $50,000,tKX,000 of the annual national income represent experwes. The remainder represents profits and; savings. Of the amount in excess of expenses mora than $lt5(jO,OOO,0OO is placed in the waving banks by the some 3S,O0OT00O individuals wlio have savings accounts. About $2..r0(),0K),000 is contributed annually in life insurance premiums by 55,000,000 policy holders to the funds for the protection of their dependents. More than $H(M),HH),(KM) pops into the building and loan aHsociations, and many more millions into real estate. A great portion of the amount in savings accounts, life insurance and other forms of saving eventually finds its way into sound securities, the stocks and bonds of our industries and the investment in-vestment offering of American states and municipalities ami foreign governments. i( The $(i,rOO.(M'M),0O invented directly or indirectly by' the. American public in honest securities Inst year represents money working steadily stead-ily day after day to produce, new forms of capital and greater wealth. The nation's pay check for 1925 will be considerably larger as more men and women are realizing that eonswtent saving ami common . wMse invetting mean a greater diffusion of wealth, and a xoundor. more lasting" prosperity for the individual; That part." of the national income turned back into productive enterprise is the important part of the nation's pay cheek. It is the reason why our annual, national income has increased approximately $50,000,000,000 in 75 years. if a John Wanamaker Said: V -If vou want to know whe!i,ryeu " a failure in life,, the answ ?" - ' No man who doe nut le;i and live on less than In anvthin'g right to PKE. expect u to deny !i i ;iri." has iiuy s than FAlfj- TWO KINDS OF DISCONTENT Discontent rules the world. It is the inspiration of success-. If plays polities. It guides the advance of civilization. Upon its shoulders should-ers rest responsibility for the world's crimes and achievements. Without With-out it there would be no progress, no invention, no discovery, no expansion, ex-pansion, no development and life would become stale and decadent. "There are two kinds of discontent in this world." said (!ordn (Jraham, "the discontent that works, and the discontent that wrings its hands. The first gets what it wants, and the second loses what it lias. There is no cure for t ho first but success; and there is no. cure at all for the second." Not all of the discontent of today is of the second kind, as the works of the twentieth century bear witness, but though it mav not predominate in numbers it succeeds well in making known to the ears of the, world that it is represented. Better serene and uncreaf ive contentment con-tentment than a discontentment that only voices its dissatisfaction and movfts not a muscle nor a brain cell, toward the betterment of its-position. its-position. Never before has the United States harbored as many malcontents of the want-to-be-helped and won't-help-themselves kind as- today. Thousands of men .and women are dissatisfied with their lot and expect ex-pect their government to improve it to their liking Instead of putting aslioulder to the wheel for the improvement oP both government and self, they expect government to 'diminish their labors and increase their possessions and pleasures. For the future prosperity and advancement of America, it is well that the greater number of Americans believe with Phillips Brooks that, "Bad will.be flu day for every niai when he becomes absolutely contented with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing, when there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger,'' eels We 'n, ;t nn iTcrK- word Jtti l it i( t han !T sounds.

October 12th to explain and launch a drive for funds for the1 year Why Monuments Every time a new movement start for high officials and others the question ques-tion arises In my mind that if the person has done something - worth while he will never die. No monument Is needed for such men as Emerson, he made his monument monu-ment in nobleness of beautiful thoughts. The average monument that you travel miles to see usually means nothing unUl someone explains ex-plains it to you and then you always knew the fact in the case. Thoughts never die, good deeds never are, men ana women wpo ao ieal things never die, they go on and on. Money spent in cold, sUll marble could be usefully spent in uplifting work. A Subscriber.
