waves break over tbe deck. If you

imagine tbe heigbtb of those breakers. Water, tben water makes tbe

Frank A. Vanderlip, former assistant secretary of tbe treasury, wae
commissioned by tbe federal government to devise some plan whereby
small investors might place tbeir
savings at the service of the government. He bas evolved a plan, now
in operation, tbat promises to be a
great success. Not only will it place
a large sum in the aggregate at the
disposal of tbe government, but tt
wili probably accomplish mucb along;
tbe other line bad in mind, that of
transforming a nation of (spendthrifts
into savers. It is a fact, often commented upon, tbat the national debt
of France has been beld by tbe French
people and in comparatively small'
sums. Out of a total population ot
about forty millions, twelve millions
bold the b-*-ncs of the government,
while herein tbe pa_it witb a population
of one bundred ten millions, mucb
less tban balf a trillion beld tbeir
country's obligations.
Tbe government now offers a war*
savings certificate stamp wbicb
during tbis month and January next
it will Bell for 84.12 This is in effect
the government's cote for 15.00, dne
Jan. 1, 19*2 i. The purchaser in effect
gets 4 per cent on bis investment,
compounded quarterly. After January, the price of tbis certificate will
be one cent more eacb month, tbat
is $4 13 in February, $4 14 in Marcb,
and so on. No individual may hold
more than SI,000 worth of these certificate at a time, Iu case one might,
need the monev invested in these
certificates, be can at any time take*
tbem to any post office which will
redeem them, paying in addition ta
their face one cent a month for the
time they have already run. Th©
name of the purchaser ia written on
eacb certificate so tbat if he loses the
card no one elBe can cash it save by
committing forgery.
Besides this form of certificate, the
government isissuing a"thrift"stamp>
of the value of _5 cents ar.d thrift
card to which 1« of tbese may oa
attached. When thia ia filled, representing thus $4 00, by the payment of
a few cents additional it may be ex-
I changed for one of the saving certificates.
It is hoped by means of these smail
ioans to raise the immense sum ot
two billion dollars.
