Thrift.

Thrift is a great thing. SPUR

Thrift means getting ready for
trouble before it comes. 1t
means storing away one nut if
YOU have two. Many people live
too much from hand to mouth
They consume each days honey
as it is picked. When it SHOWS
they are ont Of wood. When
they loose their Jobs The Hour bin
is empty. 1t is too trle that
many pprsonS earn So little that
they can barely exist At best.
But it will be observed 1hat others
earning no more. fare better
when the evil times come. One
class is thrifty and the other is
not. Hand-to-mouth living $
this: When you are making two
dollars a day you eat beefsteak:
on a dollar day YOU eat SOW
bosom: on no income at all. bread
and mnlaSseS. But thrift means
to live on d dollar and half a
day when you are making two
dollars. SO that a mOlaSSes diet
will not be necessary during the
few days you are idle between
Jobs. There are families with
incomes of hundred and fifty
to two hundred dollars a month
who are as much in need as soon
as the job is lost as the dollar

through their ierrymander prac-

teen member Of the state 5
congressional delegation Oh j
basis Of $4,000 voters and the
Republicans have only three
mem bers for $50. 900 voters. On
the same basis the Democrats
have given themselves twenty
two members of the state senate
and allowed the Republicans but
twelve This is not the Demo
cratic idea of fairness. but of
political fness. The Democrat
politicians who are responsible
for this condition. do not defend
it on any ground of justice; they
will even admit that they have
abused a party power for parti-
san advantage, and laughingly
ask: What are you going to do
about it,. AS long as the au-
thorty to make the congression-

the Democratic politicians moth
ING can be done about it. even
though their party may be in

Tins OF this partisan injustice
believe that the spirit Of political
fairness is not dead among the
voters Of Missouri, and that if
they over get a direct chance at
it they will knock out the gerry

imposed upon them Therefore,
the Republicans are making IN
