COMPOUND INTEREST YIELDS AMAZING RESULTS. Newspapers recently told of the return of sllO after its equivalent in merchandise had been lost for ten years. A poor office boy had lost the material. There was no obligation on his part* fq^inajce restitution but as to matter of honesty fio did so.

The incident furnishes a com-, mendable example of honesty. It also may be made use of in emphasizing one phase of thrift. The man who received the money objected to,, accepting it. If, instead of being generous, he had h&en one to insist »n the last penny duq him, he coiild have asked for $198.67 for that is the amount the

I sllO would nave grown to be had it been invested at 6 percent interest compounded semi-annually. Haa the former office boy waited one 'year and 263 days longer it would have been necessary for hiqi to have ' Ikaid s22p or just twice the original amount, taking into > consideration the normal earning possibilities of money. I Figures illustrating the power of ' money to reproduce itself are always illuminating to those who have an appreciation of thrift and invest

ment. I On August 16, 1819, $lO was deposited in a New York Savings bank. On the 26th day of August the following year, a deposit of $5 was made. No other addition has beeii made to these deposits excepting accrued compound interest yet tue bank recently announced that the amount had grown to $2,539.60. In a little over 100 years, the original deposit had multiplied 168 times. The sum of $5 was deposited in a certain savings bank in 1836. No trace has ever since been heard or the original depositor. The account now amounts to $382.16 or more than 76 times the original deposit. Any person who can save S9O a month during a period of 2 5 years, investing the savings at 6 percent compounded semi-annually, will l ave the modest fortune of $61,975. The lessons are obvious. Put your money to work. TOWN DEVELOPMENT It used to be frequently said in 1 smaller towns, that it is the busi- § ness of a good citizen to mind his 3 own business, keep out of debt, and avoid breaking laws. ,it was commonly thought that if he did that. * it was about all that could be ex- j I pected of him, and he was conform- g ing to the ideals of good citizenship. 9 I But a community's development cannot be promoted in these times | on anj such limited basis. The fact 9 that so many small town people I still have this spirit, and expect’ to " get along without doing anything particular to boost community movements. is one of the principal reai sons why some towns do not get ahead faster. Some must take hold and carry on the work of churches and fraternal societies. Some of the men with a special head for business need to । work in some organization for the commercial and other needed development of the community. Some need to work in clubs for education।al purposes, ond for more interesting social activities. There is some- , thing that each one should do and we must all take hold to do something in these public linos, if we expect that a town is going to keep up with the game. I People should not act as if they were making a great sacrifice if they devote a little of their time ।to such purposes. We should love our home town so much, we should be so ambitious to see it go ahead. •we should he so conscious of the gains that people who have inita ; five or ability or industry, should | |be willing to give some time each ] ‘week to helping forward such 5 causes ' B‘ Our idea of a har'd boiled custom- | < jg ier is an eligible bacheloi who has . ! 8” ‘ successfully resisted the sal s es,forts of a hundred attractive worn- 5 en. , - Hl_ • 1 > Business exists to serve custom i ers, and unless it does that it fail v
