THE s. P. U. G.

1Cedar Rapids Ga2etteJ
The S. p. U. CTS are getting busy IN
New York, and they expect to exert
their influence all over the country. A
"Spug' IS a member OF the Society for
the Prevention OF Useless Giving OF
Christmas Presents. 1t hasn't been IN
existence as society for very Ions
time. but It already has proved It's
right to live.
One fine thing about the society Is
that a membership in 1t costs nothing
in fact membership means a saving
to the participant. The person who
joins the society has no initiation fee
and no dues to pay. He or she simply
agrees to be sensible about the be-
stowal Of gifts on friends or relatives
or employers or employees at the
Christmas season.
The society doesn't oppose giving;
far from it: II encourages sensible CIV
ing; but 1t does discourage wasteful
giving-the giving that means the
financial erippling Of the giver; the
bestowal Of useless articles, and the
making Of presents to people who have
no right to expect remembrances.
A lot Of Christmas giving has been
overdone. About the Only merit some
OF It has had has been that 1t helped to
dispose Of stocks OF Christmas goods:
but in the long run that has been OF
no appreciable benefit to the business
world. because the money spent fool
ishly would have gone into some other
channel OF trade, and the mercantile
world would have reaped fully as great
business.
1t is gratifying TO believe the pur-
pose Of the New York 8. P. U. G. has
become generally prevalent during
more recent years. People are becom-
ing saner In their Christmas giving.
They are getting into the real spirit
Of the Christmas season.

Gecry it. They would stuff their ears

ragtime and more ragtme; musicians

With ragtime came the songs that
are unfit for the ears. And then, as
if to fit the song. came the dances.

sicians tell it. but they keep on play
ing the stuff. Why? The excuse IS

make good with the people, or the
people will hire some musicians VINO

; And the dances? Heavens! They
fit the music well and that is all that
can be said for them. On what kind
of day have we come? Today we have
You Great Big, Beautiful Doll''; only
yesterday, 1t seems, we had Silver
Threads Among the Cold; today we
have Somebody's Coming to Our
House" only yesterday. we were filled
with sentiment on hearing the sweet
strains of "Just a Song at Twilight.
Where are our ears? And where are
our feet and our bodies going in these
days Of bunny hugs, tangoes, Texas
Tommy. ETC.? The song and dance was
popular in the opera. But it was danced
properly and there was a real tune to
the music at first. 1t was quite thing
and meant success if q composer were
able to set a piece Of music that the
audience whistled on leaving the the
alter. The simple strains, can YOU
not hear them now? How would
Donizetti, Verdi. Schubert and Blzet
reconcile themselves to the music OF
the day? They couldn't listen.
The musical comedy has done its
share to desecrate music and to start
us off on the turkey trot and the
bunny hug. Oh. for return OF the
minuet, the Virginia reel, etc.? or
a return Of the Wagnerian period in
music when the composer wrote: Pill
grim's Chorus, Evening Star. Swan
Song, prize Song, Those were the
days Of real music and real dances.
We can not go on. 1t will lead to
great evil and the American public al
ways turns about face, when that time
Is approaching. 1t Is beginning to see
its mistake now. Things have got away
from us and have gone too far. Second
rate musicians have commercialized
music and are saving and blowing
away with perfect abandon: while the
peoples minds are whirling with the
stuff. It is but an epidemic. It needs
only that sane people look about them.

COMPULSORY SAVING.

lWalerlOO ftepOrter.
It Is human nature to dream Of sue
cess. Some persons turn visions into
the matter OF getting ahead in the
world financially systematic saving is
| the most practical method Of turning
| realities Others keep on dream In
dreams into actualities
The savings habit win increase your
income. provide for your future. estab.
fish your credit, enhance your daily
comforts, promote your general pros
perity. and give you better outlook
on life.
notwithstanding all these advan-
tages Of saving many persons will
not save unless in some way they are
compelled to do SO.
For instance. If you are buying your
own home and have monthly payments
to meet, you will take care of them
| first before you spend all your income
In other and perhaps. foolish ways.
1t is possible to put yourself in q
position where you will feel that you
owe savings bank account at least
certain amount every week or
every month. And compelling YOUR
self to maintain such a systematic
/, plan Of thrift will be a good thing for
You In every way. The results at the
end OF year will surprise you if you
have never tried this plan before.
Soon after Christmas last year. a
local bank started a Christmas club.
the ostensible object Of which was to
provide money for the next wears
Christmas shopping. The beginning
was made SO easy that hundreds were
attracted to the plan. Gradually the
amounts were increased until a very
respectable saving was compelled each
| week Now the time specified for the
return Of the funds accumulated. with
interest, Is almost here, but three more
weekly payments being necessary.
Many are astonished at the ease with
which they were enabled to keen I'm
the club requirements and at the
amount that Is now credited TO them
Mt the bank.
| There will be a lot OF cash money
available for Christmas SHOPPING In
Waterloo thru this saving plan. but
much Of it will be retained as a nucleus
Tor a larger account and eventually
for permanent investment.
The installment plan Of home build
Ing Of home furnishing works best
| when the installments are first paid IN
to savings bank account. Then cash
and the interest earnings increase your
buying power. When you buy first and
save afterwards you are burdened with
the interest you have to pay in addi-
ton to the purchase price.
Regular and systematic saving helps
you to resist the temptation to i'll
advised spending. and it develops the
capacity OF turning the capital saved
into remunerative channels for your
benefit

had set trap with trigger so that
"nen the thief came into the chicken
mousse he set off the trap which pulled
the Trigger and caused a shotgun to be
olscharsed towards the door. But
nothlng was ever said of the accident.
Even some OF the farmers nearest
nelghbors and some of the wounded
tniefs relatives don't know about 1t to
this day. In the first place, it wasn't
the right thing for this farmer who laid
the trap, to do. People have funny
ideas Of justice sometimes Because a
thief gets shot does not in any sense
annul the duty of the man who shot
him to turn him over to the law. And
1t isn't the decent humane thing to do
anyhow to shoot chicken thief. With
hatred for a chicken thief, or any
other kind OF a thief second to none,
Sidelights still maintains that It is
neither humane, decent nor sensible.
| We would be in favor Of licking the
| thief. tarring and feathering him, rid
Ing him on a rail, failing him, putting
him on rock pile, or anything else
but taking his life away or trying to.
And the man who does this will find
in the great beyond that taking an
other mans life for chicken stealing
counts more black marks against him
than thieving does against the thief.

THE WORLD MOVES.

AW, cheer up, old top. Perhaps
things have not reached so startling

Men may turn and follow after false
gods for time but the love OF Right

always in their hearts. latent some
times. but requiring little to awaken it
to the fullest measure of activity.
The very quest for novelty only
shows lively dissatisfaction with in
stitutions and activities seemingly in

some OF US 1t seem as tho only now
the church is beginning to throw off
