Dollars Have Wings
It a^Hfly said that “Dollars have
witfgs.” pyfid&t lit true. They get away so
easily that fTs hard to keep them with us long.
The very best cage for the flighty dollars is
a good reliable bank like ours, where they may
be safely housed and are subject to release only
on your personal check. It’s the safe, modern,
successful way. If you have not already
adopted this plan, we invite you to open an ac-

Wasteful Methods of Texas People.
Georgetown, Texas, 5.—Hon.
Lee J. Rountree, veteran news-
paper man and president of the
National Editorial association
has addressed a communication
to President H. N. Pope of the
Texas Farmers’ union urging the
need of economy among the ag-
ricultural population of the state
and deploring the wasteful meth-
ods obtaining on the Texas farms
as compared, with the economy
practiced by many foreign na-
tions. Mr. Rountree states that
not only in Texas, but in many
other agricultural states of the
Union there is a lack of system
in utilizing and conserving the
products of the farm. Mr. Roun-
tree’s communication says in
part:
“To my mind the greatest
question before the people today,
those who labor and toil in any
trade, profession, or avocation,
is the ‘Saving Habit.’ It con-
fronts the farmer, the laborer,
the mechanic, and every person
who must earn a livelihood, and
especially the farmer.
“In Texas we allow our agri-
cultural implements to remain out
in the weather, our cotton to lie
on soggy ground, and our corn
to catch the winter rains through
a leaky roof. We do ¬ save
what we produoe, hence when
strenuous times come we cry
hard times.
“Our bankers, merchants,
farmers, cattlemen, manufactur-
ers, laborers and business men
should not only advocate the
saving habit but practice it. Ev-
ery bale of cotton, every bushel
of corn, every cow, horse, mule,
automobile, wagon, cultivator,
planter, reaper and binder,and
all farming implements must be
housed. We must make perma-
nent investments to protect our
earnings. The American peo-
ple individually and colieotively
are too extravagant.
“Germany is not as large as
Texas, but she supports 70,000,-
000 people and is worth $60,000,-
000,000. Nothing^is wastedj in
Germany.
“Texas and Americans must
meet the issues. Landlords,
tenants, bankers and laborers
must save the pennies and the
dollars wiil grow. In the days of
plenty we must build houses and
granaries and cotton warehouses
and places to protect our ma-
chinery from the storms of de-
struction.
“Too many of us are wasteful.
To illustrate: In a s Texas
city I saw ten automobiles of a
high power pass, and they did
not average two persons to a car.
One person was burning up gas-
oline, tires, and machinery whioh
could be used by six orj seven at
the same prices.
“We are living too fast.}|Our
per diem does not pay our per
nocturn. The high oost of living
has slain its thousands while the
cost of high living has slain its
tens of thousands and we as a
nation are burning the candle at
both ends. Let us atop it today.”
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.
Next Sunday night there will
be service at 7 o’clock. Bishop
Kinsolving, of Austin, will preach
and administer the Rite of Con-
firmation. You are oordially in-
vited to come and worship gwith
us.

Catch the Idea T
The Voice of Now
It is the present, the today, the
NOW in which we are interested.
Shakespeare wisely says:
“Tomorrow never yet
On any living mortal rose or set.”
It is the printed page which deals
most intimately and with the great-
est detail in the movements of the
present. It is THE VOICE OF NOW
proclaiming to the world the things
that are happening today. The Gov-
ernment of the United States is NO w
gravely concerned in certain as-
pects of the war in Europe and has
had thrust on it several serious in-
ternational problems which a*re
NOW in process of solution. The
American farmer is NOW interested
in this titanic struggle, for his in-
terests are being affected by it to-
day and will be tomorrow, and he
wants to keep in close touch with {
it NOW.
EVERYBODY is interested in the |
cotton erop from the time of its |
planting to the days of its harvest- jj
1 ing and marketing. They want to \
] know “the NOW’’ in all that per- \
| tains to the great Southern staple; |
| they want to know “the NOW” of
jj all other agricultural markets, the
* latest in modern farming, ’the facts
of the warehousing problem, and
l all else that pertains to the prog- j
| ress of the times in every theatre
\ of life.
jj The tens of thousands of men and 1
jj women who know the Semi-Weekly
jj Farm News know it is “THE VOICE
f OF NOW,” telling in direct and pos-
I itive tones what is going on at
| home and abroad.
