BUILD A DAM IF YOU WANT POWER

WATER-POWER experts say that there is enough running water going to waste in the northern Great Lakes states to run all the cotton looms In the world If it could be harnessed to turbines or wheels. feut 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 far from S6O per capita of “circulation”—that Is to say all kinds of money that 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. f . , . . „„„„ Saving—systematic and regular SAVING —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 Treasurylng Savings certificates. StaI Begin today. Every day you delay costs you a lot of power anß 4 per cent compound Interest to boot. .
