ALBANY, OREGON, MONDAY. JANUARY 12
THRIFT FOR ALBANY PEOPLE
Two things are essential factors in strengthening our
national financial situation and in promoting individual pros
perity: First It is highly important that the millions of people
who bought Government securities during the war should
be shown the wisdom of holding them until maturity wher
ever possible, and the folly of disposing of them below the
market price or in exchange for speculative stocks.
Second It is most desirable that there be an ever-increasing
number who invest regularly in Government se
curities of whatever type suits their requirements: 25-cent
Thrift Stamps, $5 War-Savings Stamps, $100 and $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificates, Liberty Bonds, and Victory
Notes. .,.,
Our people must be neither .miserly nor spendthrift if
we are to develop the greatest national strength. We must
cultivate habits of care in the use of money; we must learn
the principles of intelligent investment; the power of reserve
funds; the freedom which comes with fulfilled financial
obligations.
These things the Treasury Savings Movement is en
deavoring to bring before the public through the widespread
distribution of Government securities.
In these times of high prices, high salaries and high
wages it is necessary for the individual to exercise care and
judgment in his expenditures and, while not being too par
simonious and everlastingly clinging to the almighty dollar,
to buy only what is needed and buy goods of good value.
But above all, one should save, and there is no better
examole for the American people to follow than to profit
by the government's tender of thrift and War-Savings)
stamps or treasury savings certincates.
This is Thrift Week. Let's all save something.

THE RELENTLESS WHOLESALER
Wholesalers are presumed to know something about the
trend of prices. They stand near the strategic middle of
their industries. They are in touch with the manufacturer
and with the retailer, and they themselves presumably have
at least a little influence over prices. 1 here may be genera
interest, then, in the results of a canvas of big wholesale
firms made by a New York newspaper. According to the
wholesalers:
Men's clothes and hats will be higher in the spring.
The peak of shoe prices is not yet reached. '
Women's clothes will go higher, particularly silk and
wool.
Groceries in general will not be materially lower in
1920. Coffee will go up. Tea may go down a little. Canned
goods are still going up. Flour will remain about the same.
The only possible bright spot in the gloom is sugar, which
may ease a little.
There is no sign of any material decrease in meats.
- Any consumer is entitled to all the hope he can extract
from this report. '
To make the evidence conclusive, however, the manu
facturers and retailers should be heard from. And after
that, disinterested experts should be heard from, to deter
mine how much of this high-price level is inevitable and how
much of it is due to exorbitant profits, preventable waste
and industrial slacking. Surely the wholesalers have not
spoken the last word. '

not the first people that have refused "redemption."

Saturday that he woild not be a can

"My many friends among the news

office of Secretary of State, and I
have already received, without my
solicitation, the endorsement and prom

throughout the state.
"This, of course, is extremely grati

appreciative of the kind things that
have been aiid about me. This is the

a protprctive candidate for public of
