Savings Deposits and the Victory Loan
Savings deposits always increase enormously
in war times. What is the explanation?
The reason is that the carrying on of war
brings into use an unusual element of credit.
The government stretches its credit twenty or
forty years into the future turns into "means of immediate payment" the wealth that the country will produce for years to come. How is this done? By the issuance of large amounts of currency based on the borrowings of the Government; or, by the creation of a great volume of circulating media based on business transactions. How are these operations kept safe? By the more careful employment of the stock of reserve metal in the country. For instance, our government has collected a stock of gold exceeding two billion dollars. The government vaults now contain more than two-thirds the entire known stock of gold on the American continent. What is the effect of this flood of new money, brought into existence as a result of the state of war? It is almost empossible to catalogue all the effects. The most important effect is to raise
the average of earnings and to put more money into the pockets of breadwinners. Incidentally, of course, all prices rise. And when a manufacturer can get more for his product he is stimulated to produce more and sell more. This means more labor employed. Larger demands for labor means higher wages bid for labor. Higher wages
means more money in the Savings Banks. Why' Because in by far the greater number of Ameri
can families, the women take care of the pay envelope. Instinct teaches women that if they
do not save when the money is coming in, their children are likely to go hungry when the money stops coming in. That is why women are the great patrons of savings banks. Keep this fundamental fact clearly in mind. Savings deposits always increase in war times even in Germany at the most critical period of the war savings deposits increased. Exceptions to this rule are rare. Savings deposits increase because the government provides a vast amount of new money, based on its credit, and because the government is a heavy buyer of all th.o i't 1'n.ts of industry hence a great bencf-tcto:- to ::icn and women who work. The American people have more money in the savings banks than they ever had at any previous time in the history of the republic. As we have shown, this fact is due to the financial operations of the Government for the conduct of the war. Now the government needs that money.
But the government does not want it as a gift. No, the government merely wants it as a temporary loan. Your government your treasury wants to borrow the money you have in the savings bank. It does not want the money for an excessive time. It wants the money for short periods, ranging from one to five years. It i3 willing to pay you better interest than you are receiving from the savings bank. It is willing to spare you from some of the tax burden that falls on money in savings banks and other securities. What is the patriotic duty of Americans in the light of these facts?
The patriotic duty of every citizen is to support the loan. Take the savings money you have in the bank and pay it into the U. S. treasury for the Victory Liberty Loan. If it had not been for the government's war activities you would not have as much money in the bank, anyway. Hence it is only fair to use that money for the relief of the government in this emergency. More than that, it is your duty to sign an application for as much of the Victory Liberty Loan as you can pay for out of your current income during the next six months. Here are the government's preferred payment terms. They are easy I 10 Per Cent with application 10 Per Cent .. .July 15 20 Per Cent August 12 20 Per Cent September 9 20 Per Cent ... ..October. 7 20 Per Cent .November 11 With the last payment, of course, is due all accrued interest on deferred installments. And payment can be completed on any of the installment dates with the accrued interest to that date. Could any salesman ask for anything easier to offer in the way of terms? The first real stiff payment doesn't come until August and the last payment is set way off there in November.
The Proposed War Memorial Building The opposition expressed by the veterans of
the great war to the selection of the old market house site for the proposed memorial is a reflec
tion of the sentiment of the community generally. South Sixth and A street has few advantages to recommend it for the location of the structure. The site of the proposed memorial should be
one that will be adaptable for the carrying out of a plan of civic improvements. The future development of the city must be kept in mind. If the structure is designed to be the starting place for other improvements of a lasting nature, the location, first of all, should be selected with that
purpose in mind. The veterans of the great war seemingly acted on this theory. Their opposition can be accepted as a criterion of the judgment of the whole county. The architectural effect of many public buildings is ruined because poor judgment was used in the selection of the site. A notable exception to this criticism is the Preble county court house
in Eaton. Here the location and the approach enhance the beauty of the structure, "setting it off" to marked advantage. The building gains immeasurably by the location. A memorial building on the site of the old market house would be a mistake from an architectural standpoint. It offers no inducement that could be used by an architect to create a beautiful and artistic approach for a handsome structure.
THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK MONEY In Itself, money la a pretty sordid thing, but like the rafters that hold up your home, It warms and shelters you in weather both fair and foul. Money Is able to lead you to your best desires. But the first and foremost and most important element about the earning and making of money should become your friend and servant and not your master. "Riches," once wrote Charles Lamb, "are chiefly good because they give us Time all one's time to one's self! for which alone I rankle with envy at the rich. Books are given, and money to buy them is therefore good but to buy Time in other words Life!" Money must feed us, clothe us, take us around the world, Introduce us to trees, and strange cities, and interesting people and wonders and fantasies if you will but it must not browbeat us, it must not threaten us, it must not uneducate us. Money Is very good to us if we are good to it. But the great ambition in money-getting should be that it may place us in the position to forget money. For only as we recognize the means of money are we able to Influence the power of our personality and good works on the world. I have always noticed that with the great massing of wealth, people seem to have more comfort and greater pleasures, but less happiness, so that after all, wealth is but a means a track, as it were over which to travel, and not to own.
Get money! Earn it! leave it after you are dead.
Live off of it! But drop it as you go not

Civic pride used to fight as bitterly with the "knocking" spirit of Richmond of the early days, as it does in the days of 1919. A hundred years ago, when the village had 453 Inhabitants, pessimists, the slang word for them then was "croakers," were predicting the early decline of the village.

The more hopeful citizens pointed to the abundant water power, says John Plummer's city directory of 1857, to the healthfulness of the inhabitants, and the materials for building. What more, they asked, could any reasonable community desire? "All this is true," said the croakers, "but when you have raised your corn and your hogs, and ground your grain, how are you going to get them to market?" The answer to this was the National road, perhaps the greatest single factor in the city's remarkable growth. The road was built in 1828, and Richmond was given an outlet to the east and west. Says the chronocler of 1857: "Little did any of us dream of well-made turnpikes leaving Richmond at every
point of the compass and of railroads connecting us with all the large cities of this part of the county, and indeed of the Union." Just as the old "croakers" would be amazed if they could see the present city of 30.000, with concrete roads built and building to carry traffic undreamed of then, electric lines and
railroads, so 100 years from now, in the greater Richmond of the future, perhaps there will be inventions and communications undreamed by the croakers who have existed until 1919.

The conditions in the trenches were dreary In the extreme after the dreching and long-continued rainfall, but the irrepressible spirits of Uncle Sam's boys were not entirely quenched when the order came to leave the trenches. "Hurry up out of this, my gallant soldiers," was the cheery call of the sergeant to his waist-deep and rain sodden men. "Soldiers!" came the derisive answer from one of them: "I'm not a soldier; I'm a blooming bulrush."

The New League Covenant
From the Chicago Tribune. THE summary of the covenant of the league of nations given out as official by the Pari3 conference reveals that an agreement which could not bo amended has been amended to. its advantage. The Monroe doctrine is recognized. The right of nations to sovereignty is recognized and their right to a free hand in their domestic legislation and administration is not vitiated. That means that the United States may deal with such questions a3 Immigration as it wishes. It
means that the United States does not surrender its championship of democratic government In the western
hemisphere.
The document is one to be studied, not In the sum
mary, but in full text and to be studied by the United
States senate as it will be. Offhand it could be pointed out that several unsatls
factory statements are contained In the summary. II is provided, for instance, that nations shall reduce their
armaments with the advice of the council of nations and that, having reached a point of military equilibrium, whatever it may be, they shall not increase armament without the consent of the council. The United States may wish, as a matter of citizenship training, to adopt universal service. No plain, sensible interpretation of this provision regarding armament a3 contained in the summary, would permit the United States to do so without the consent of an international council of nine. Great Britain is traditionally opposed to universal eervlce, being devoted to navalism. Consequently Great Britain does not favor universal service in any other country. A reduction of armament may be the sine qua uon of an effective league of nations, but it would be poor policy for the United States to subject its own peculiar teeds to the dictation of a group of nations. As we have Insisted from the beginning of discussion I
of universal service, a military system such as Germany maintained the iron fist is not the system the United States 13 implored to adopt for its own good, not for the hurt of any other nation. Yet the prohibition against armament, aimed at the German system, will prevent the establishment of the American system unless suitable reservations are made. We are for the league of nations If it is understood for what it is, if its real virtues are the virtues which cause America to accept it, if illusion does not warp Amercan policies because we have joined a league of na
tions and if the wording of the agreements into which we enter is so clear and so well understood that no possibility of error or misunderstanding exists. The great value of the league of nations, we believe, is that it offers a sign of progress to war tired people of the Atlantic Europe. They are very tired and restless. If the order of society to which they have submitted cannot offer them any better guaranty against International tragedy than it has done their inclination will be towards
the violent social revolution which has been a greater disaster than war. Therefore a league, contained within practical terms ond expectations, will be a stabilizing influence where a stabilizing influence is needed most But the United States ought to sacrifice nothing to this, nothing of its own essential importance and security. The amended form of agreement protects us much better than the form which President Wilson said could not be changed. It has been changed. It may have to be changed further. We hope it reaches the senate in an amendable form. It ought not to be presented to the treaty ratifying authority of the United States in a fashion which offers only acceptance or rejection. All wisdom has not been In Paris. Much more wisdom, for America, has been in Washington and in other American cities. More wisdom may still be here.

"I talk it up all the time and I am very enthusiastic, too, because I believe it is a marvelous thing for the stomach and nerves. "For several years I suffered with my stomach. Almost everything I ate disagreed with me and caused gas to form and a burning feeling in the pit of my stomach. "I became so nervous that my rest was often disturbed.

Pepgen is composed of oils and Juices of a vast number of leaves, roots and bark, each recognized for its value in treating stomach, liver and nerve diseases. Thousands recommend It. For rheumatism, lumbago and neuralgia, try Pepgen Liniment. It is made from mustard, red pepper, sassafras, menthol and ammonia. It penetrates but does not blister. If constipated, take Pepgen Laxative Tablets. They thoroughly cleanse the liver. They are different from anything you have ever tried eaten like candy.
