quality Undtr'this law the pr°Priati°n for that institution

the present price and production soldiers and sailors
that portion which will go to the
support of the state government
will amount to more than two
million dollars annually and will
take care of over one-half the
cost of the entire state govern-
ment If not referred this law
will become effective in ninety
days
Financially there are just two kinds of men In the world those
who constantly figure upon the principal of their money and thou
who deal with the interest on the principal
The one kind of man throws away ten dollars carelessly and
says “What's tbe difference It is only a ten dollar bill”
The othcr holds on to that ten and says “Ten dollars 1s the
Interest at 5 per cent on a capital of two hundred dollars”
1 One man-figurcs on how much ten dollars will bay The
other man figures on how much it would cost him to buy ten
dollars
A difference of principal and interest— that is &1L
Yet the principal-figure is not the principle figurcr in life
Indeed he counts for very little except when he is spending that
ten No one comes to him with opportunities No one considers
him as a possible investor in anything good Money always
passes him quietly by
And yet this is all a simple habit of mind The difference
between financial success and financial failure is only a litt
trick of the brain
And the habit of figuring interest — the habit of figuring
every dollar you spend as the interest on twenty times that
amount at five per cent is very easily learned
Try it now in the personal things you are going out to buy
you need a suit of clothes look through the advertising in this
paper See where you can save five dollars and then say to
yourself “I am not merely saving five dollars by buying a suit o
clothes from this advertisement I am saving the amount which one
hundred dollars would earn if it worked at five per cent interest for
a whole year"
That’s the thing that brings you to your muttons That’s
the thing that makes you stop and think
Now these good sales are going on all through this paper
You can save money on anything you buy Your clothes your shoes
your shirts your household goods — all offer money-saving oppor-
tunities in these sales
Why you can save the interest on at least five hundred dol
lars if yon will only go at it right And show me the man to
whom five hundred dollars is not a capital worth considering
Interest — that is the thing to figure on always And the way
to save the interest on a lot of money is to watch the advertising
in this paper day by day and do your buying from these sales
