THRIFT AND PROSPERITY.

The natural and usual conclusion of
observers is that the prosperity en-
oourages thrift and that the progress
or civilization makes for a steadily-in-
aoreasing and accumuIative storing up
or wealth. The spread Of popular edu-
cation teaching people to realize the
necessity of saving for a rainy day
and the responsibility for providing
xor future needs of family and de-
pendents should strengthen the ten
dency to thrift. The increased securi-
Sy OF property and the certainty of its
preservation for future enjoyment and
ahe more easy and safer opportunities
of investment irrespective of varia-
'4ions in the rate of interest, should
likewise operate to increased saving.
To combat these considerations,
however. several factors are presented
as exerting an influence to restrict and
retard thrift. 1t is argued, for exam
pie, that inability to invest under
ones own eye" or to employ savings
In business under ones own direc-
rtion," owing to our present methods
of aarge-scaie production through huge
corporations. weakens the thrift incen-
tive. The acquisition of land, formerly
supposed to be the most powerful
stimulus to thrift, is now almost out
eof reach of the multitude
An attempt has also been made to
: show that what the average man will
save depends largely upon the prevail
ing standard of living, and that the
higher the standard of living the less
will be the ability to save. In order
ITO keep up an appearance and main
: tain the level reached by successful as
asociates, we are told, constantly larg-
er percentage of income must be ex-
pended Such demonstration is de-
-cidedly unconvincing because its re-
rversal leads to the. absurdity that the
less man has and the lower his STAN
'tdard of living, the more he will save,

WORKS ON VALUABLE PATENT
REV. MR.. HUTZLER WILL MAKE
PROFIT FROM DEVICE.
Will Enable Mail to Be Taken From
Moving Trains Without Dangerll
of Pouches Being Injured.

Rev. C. w. Hutsler pastor of the
United Brethren church of Williams
port, and formerly of Martinsburg, is
working on patent by which mail
can be taken from moving trains with
Eout danger of being damaged. The
patent is something the government
has been looking for and II it proves
successful Rev. Mr.. Hutsler's ingenui-
/ ty will yield him goodly profit Under
the present plan of kicking mail
pouches from trains very often the
pouches strike some object and re-
bound and fall under the train and
are ground to pieces and the contents
destroyed. Rev. Hutsler has conceived
the ldea Of removing the pouches from
trains going at any rate of speed by
ia device which will prevent any
chance OF the pouch being damaged
He has mail clerk, who has been
in the service for years and practi-
cal man, assisting him to perfect he
patent. He recently went to Washing
ton to get some information concerning
his device and was told at the postuf-
fee department that such patent will
be hailed with delight, Int ti:at he
was up against a hard proposition. HI
thinks, however, that his device will
be a success.

Policy of Retrenchment Being Follow

The Western Maryland railroad has
adopted a policy of retrenchment SINH
lar to that of many of the leading rail-
roads of the country, and during the
last two weeks has laid off a number
of men. In addition the company has
reduced the working hours at its shops
located in Hagerstown, Union Bridge
and Elkins from 10 hours day to 8
hours, so as to give employment to as
many as possible. The men who have
been laid off were employed in the
shops and on the road. They lived at
various points along the Western
Maryland between Baltimore and Ell

has this matter been brought to the
attention of the department that we

relieve the situation If possible. The
governor of our state has become very
much interested in the matter and has
advised the cooperation of this depart

some plan might be devised to secure
emigrants that come over to this coun-

Cumberland. Md, where he has en-
ployment as operator for the Baiti-G'
moro G. Ohis Railroad Co.
Mr. Emory Lopp says that his tor
mato crop yielded him In 1905 23
cents per bushel, s55 per acre, and IN
1907 80 cents per bushel or sS615 per
acre. This we think a reasonable
crop for old Morgan county land.
Corn husking is the leading work
at present, the crop being still light
,on account of the tomatoes using the
labor.
