SAVE YOUR PENNIES The old adage Save your pennies meaning to hoard them is hard to practice these times when oventhing runs to uneven cents and a penny comes In handy to make out the price without giving the dealer too much advantage advantagePossibly Possibly the government realized this when it coined TJ8OOO0 M pennies during the past year and put them into circulation This is a pile of cop ¬ per when It is counted out but it is all needed In the pricemaking market The custom of dropping all pennies into the babys bank will have to stop until such times after tlie war as the high cost of things is regulated There is nothing that a nickel buys nowadays unless a few cents are added to It so that the little fivecent piece has become but tin humble servitor In the buying world and the penny is the necessary coIIalM rator when a pur ¬ chase is made madeThe The best way to save pennies now is to keep them in circulation If the Treasury Department had not realized this it would not have coined the largest copper output in its history It behcilvcs us all to be pennywise and to cut iiit the pound foolishness of the adage Memphis Commercial Appeal
