“What will you be
doing in 1937”
The experience of 100 generations proves that every in
dividual must observe three conditions in order to become
financially independent as a result of bis own efforts. FIRST
one must save a part of ones earnings regularly and method
ically. preferable putting aside a fixed sum with the earnest
determination not to use such funds only as a last resort-
SECOND, these earnings must be invested in a safe place.
THIRD, a legitimate interest return must be demanded, for
this will soon amount to more than the money saved. You
have heard old men talk about what they would have had if
they had saved a few fennies a day. The following table will
show you how much you will accumulate with 6 per cent com
pounded annually with tirst mortgage security during the
next ten. fifteen, or twenty years if you will do what old men
regret they did not do.
7 cents a day or $2.17 monthly for 20 tears amounts to SIOOO.
10 cents a day or $3.41 monthly for 15 years amounts to
SIOOO.OO.
19 cents a day or SO.OO monthly for 10 years amounts I<h
SIOOO.OO.
$9.00 monthly for 10 years amounts to $1500.00
$5.11 monthly for 15 years amounts to $1500.00
$.‘5.20 monthly for 20 years amounts to $1500.00
$12.00 monthly for 10 years amounts to $2000.00
$0.82 monthly fro 15 years amounts to $2000.00
$4.34 monthly for 20 years amounts to $2000.00
$15.00 monthly for 10 years amounts to $2500.00
$8.52 monthly for 15 years amounts to $2500.00
$5.43 monthly for 20 years amounts to $3500.00
$30.00 monthly for 10 years monthly to $500,000
$17.05 monthly for 15 years amounts to $5000.00
$10.85 monthly for 20 years amounts to $5000.00
Study carefully these figures, decide how much you can
save and act while the future is before you. ('all on me and
get full particulars. My H per cent accumulated bonds will
interest you.

THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, bOUGLAS, GEORGIA, APRIL 28. 1917.
Dear Sir:
We take this opportunity of callingyour attention to the
recent statement of our President; "The supreme need of our nation
and of the nations with which we are cooperating is an abundance
of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs. I particularly appeal
to the farmers of the South to plant abundant foodstuffs as well as
cotton. They can show their patriotism in this way. "
The truth of this statement is borne out by the rapid advancing
price of all food products and by increasing production along this
line. Youwillnot only be of assistance to the Government but
you will also receive the benefit of the abnormal demand brought
about by existing conditions. Georgia in the past year has bought
about ninety-five million dollars worth of food stuffs; at the
present, time many articles cannot be bought at anyprice, and the
food question is rapidly coming to an acute and dangerous stage.
We expect to stand squarely behind our customers in the way of
advances and it is our purpose to assist them in every way possible
in the making and marketing of their crops. We especially urge upon ,
you careful consideration of thecrisis which we are approaching .
and suggest the planting of as large a food crop as you consistent
ly can.
It is always a pleasure to have you come in and see us when you
are in Douglas. We will be glad to have you and your friends con
sider the-present situation most seriously ana if we can be of any
assistance to you please command us.

FOR THE ENTERPRISE.
(By G. L. B.)
Just an inquiry to our City Fathers,
and Citizens generally.
Durin gthe present crisis, would it
not be a good idea, for several grand
reasons, to at once suspend the stock
law in Douglas, until the was is over,
and encourage every citizen of every
color, or previous condition, to, while
planting his backyard in foodstuffs
to cultivate one or more pigs, under
c< rtain restrictions that would not bar
any one from trying to raise enough
meat for home eonsumtion at least.
And let all cows run at large, as this
law never has been strictly enforced.
Let every merchant that does not
want his mrchandise injured by stock
keep his wares in his store where they
belong and not encroach upon the
sidewalks, na while it is tue that every
lady wants to beautify her premises
with beautiful flowers, and the writer
loves beautiful flower gadens equal
to any one, baring none. Let her
have her flow r ers securely fenced.
This is much better than to have
those of us who are not blessed as
some of our neighbors are financially,
to suffer for the actual necessaries of
life, when they could be almost self
supporting during this world strife.
The time is to commence now. The
writer well knows that the course here
asked will bring out all sorts of op
position from those who have plenty
and with no likelihood of suffering
during the world war.' But would not
God bless them more abundantly to
make this small sacrifice, that the
poorer classes might not want for the
actual necessaries to sustain life, At
lanta, Fulton county, Macon, and
other cities much more pretentions
than Douglas, are doing what is here
asked for, and w’hen the good Christ
ians of Douglas, give this matter that
serious thought it so justly deserves.
The writer feels that they wall de
cide as they have always previously
done. “We are willing to make some
sacrifices foi the betterment of Doug
las, and all its citizens.” The writer
Would be pleased to hear the opin
ions of others, through the Enterprise
along this line of thought,
