OPPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —_———— JOHN WANAMAKER John Wanamaker rose to eminence in mercantile success because, starting as a boy, he more than “made good,” in what- ever role he was called upon or chese to fill. He was not one of the common run of men who 'seem to be satisfied if they “get by.” Rather he was one of the few who at every stage of his career, filled the job he was at, and kept his mind alert for the bigger job to come after. Efficiency, of course, was not the only rung of his climbing to greatness in the business circles he representéd. To effici- ency he added the policy of being “on the square;” of having respect for the other fellow’s just claims; of giving value re= ~ceived in service and goods. In other words “he laid broad and firm the groundwork of that which- brought him the confidence of “those with' ' whom he had dealings. == The great Wanamaker mercantile insti- “tutions in Philadelphia and New York he onceived to be something more than mere media through which to make money. He ade them in smoe respects semi-public in “stitutions wherein shopping was the major I:business, but only the major business, there being incidental features that had a defi- “‘nite relationship to the public welfare and to the cultivation of some of the finer “human impulss, He was a merchant- Zprincé,” with the’ true princely spirit and “he also was a philanthropist. His great “stores were made -to contribute to those ~phases of his activity. = Mr. Wanamaker might have come into “prominence in elective public service, but ““he chose to exert his influences as a private citizen for a better ordering of the social =.and political affairs of his state and the country. Beyond serving as Postmdster ‘-~ General under’ President- Benjamin Harri- -=son, he kept himself aloof from public of- -fice. He was an aggressive Christian gen- tleman who nailed at the masthead of his “business ship the motto. “Tell the truth and let it be your witness to the world.” “When the people get down to the fact sential for safe foun- TODAY IS THE LAST FOR = PAYING INCOME TAXES |front of every window there.

Treasury-offici als estimate that no less than 15,000,000 Americans own these war obligations. Are you one of them? If so, when you “cash;in” you’ll realize that the safest investment in, the world is Uncle Sam. Hundreds of thous’ ands of spendthrifts and stock market suckers ‘are wishing they had invested in war savings stamps and certificates. A million doesn’t look as big as it used to. Most of us talk of a million as if it were a dozen eggs. Nevertheless; $625,000,000 is considerable of a figure. That’s the total value of the war savings stamps and certi- ficates maturing Jan. 1, 1923. If everyone insists on cash payment, Uncle Sam will have to turn a few financial handsprings and his loose cash in the national treasury will be rather low at the end of the year. So he hopes that most of the holders—half at least—will trade for the new five year treasury certificates. Wise investors will. It’s as good as mony in the ~bank—some ways better. If you want to cash your war saving stamps and certificates in full, you can de- posit them with the postoffice any day now for collection, or turn them in to your bank on or after Jan. 1. If you have, say, $25 of maturing war savings certificates, you can exchange them for a new $25 treasury certificate maturing Jan. 1, 1928, and get $4.50 cash to boot. And.so on, in large quantities. The new certificates will be is- sued in denominations of $25, $100 -and $1,000 each. No individual can get more’ than $5,000 worth .of these certificates. - They're tax-exempt by the way.——Ex. —F THEIR PAPER 'AND OUR CASH For what we furnished the allied nations during the war we hold their paper prom- ises-to pay. For what the allied nations furnished us they hold our cash. No can- celation scheme that has yet been propos- ed suggests that the cash be handed back in return for the wiping off of a like amount of paper promises. The allies found it convenient to refer to the material we furnished a$ being for the common object of winning the war, inti- mating that we should expect no pay for it, but the services and material furnished by them, for the use of the American army has already been recompensed with good American gold. There is no suggestion of the common object for which that was used. & COWS HELP BANKS ] Although 1920 was a short crop year, the seventeen members of the New Salem, - N. D., Farmrs’ Breeding.
