But running water is useless for power purposes unless somebody has enterprise enough to build a dam and impound the water until there is sufficient “fall” to give the required velocity in the turbine casing. - - The same Is true of the money in circulation. We have in the United States not fur from S6O per capita of “circulation” —that is to say all kinds of money-tbat passes from hand to hand. —— To get the real force and effect of that S6O per capita average—to obtain the benefit of your personal share of the total “money in circulation you must build a dam. . Saving—systematic and regular SAYING —Is the dam whereby money gains power to turn the wheelS of industry. The best dam you can build to Import “head” and force to your surplus earnings is one built of U. S. Government Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasurying Savings certificates. Stat Begin today. Every day you delay costs you a lot of power and 4 per cent compound interest to boot.
