Show 9 THE NATIONS GREATEST NEED When great sums were appropriat- ed for the conduct of the war, and many drives started to get the money j to put over tlrst one thing and then i another, we all began to talk about millions and billions, and other sums' in a rather easy manner. The habit of thinking of vast sums, and more money for everything seems I to have gotten into ttie system of ev- . eryone, and it will be slow to eradicate. eradi-cate. The "small change" and prices of n few years ugo are now forgotten, and everyone is out for the "big money." This condition may lie very nice, but j ' it in not the kind of a thing that the j foundations of the nation and state were built on. The "spenders" may have helped scatter the money, but it has always been the "savers" who had the money to put into enterprises and I helped build up the country. There is a greater need of saving today than ever, and the government is conducting a campaign for thrift, and is offering Thrift Stamps and Hahy Bonds, is giving the people an opportunity to put something away against the day that is surely coming when a savings account means the difference between want und plenty. The sky is blue now and everything prosperous and that is why there is all the more need for regularly buying W S. S. and putting them awav for the future. |
