TALKS ON THRIFT
What Is Thrift?

Economy no more means saving
money than 1t means spending money;
1t means administration of house;
Its stewardship; spending or saving,
whether money or time, or anything
else, to the best possible advantage
RuslSin.
There seems to be a mistaken idea
abroad as to just what is meant by the
word thrift. It means. more than the
average person thinks it does
When in these talks we speak of
saving money. we do not for an in
slant want any reader to think that we
advocate miserliness-grubb cheese
pairing, squeezing and saving every
possible cent, at the expense of self
respect. comfort and health.
At times, spending, instead of saw
Ing. may be the wisest course Thrift
at once earns and saves. with view
to wholesome and profitable expendi-
ture at a fitting time.
But the actual accumulation of
money is the outward and visible sign
that a man Is really thrifty. and al
though thrift means more than just
saving, to large extent saving is the
measure of mans progress.
Money isn't everything. 1t can't al
ways buy health and happiness, but if
by your present thrift you are able to
get into comfortable circumstances and
Danish the worry of debt, will you not
be doing something that will surely
make for health and happiness?
While saving alone is not thrift. it
IL an indispensable part of it. How

R. Smith of Cleveland. president of the

Brewer over the telephone this morning
and asked for 300 convicts at once. or

The question as to the right of the
governor to use the convicts on the levees

subject. The governor called for this
opinion this morning and the attorney

CUMM|NS APPEALS
TO SUPREME COURT
Decatur Man Fined $500 and
Given Six Months for
Vagrancy

Minis, we'll known as Bud" was found
guilty of vagrancy here in the law and
equity court and fined $500 and was SEN
fenced to hard labor on the county roads
for six months He has taken an appeal
to the supreme court.
Cummins is said to own property here
and is also said to have a considerable
amount of cash in bank. He was indicted
few weeks ago along with several other
soft drink stand men on the charge of
vagrancy. The case against cummins Is
regarded as rather peculiar one.
Fred Lindeman was fined five days in
the county jail and $50 for the alleged
violation of the state prohibition laws
He paid the fine and served his time.

ever. we do not wish to encourage any
one to be stingy. Between saving
money sensibly and being a genuine
"tightwad" there is vast difference.
Thrift is more than prudence, which
is merely good judgment and foresight
In the practical affairs of life. 1t is
more than economy which is dispo-
sition to save. 1t is more than frugality
which is prudent economy in the care
of money or goods.
Parsimony is excessive and unrea-
sonable saving for the sake of saw
ing.
Miserliness denies ones self and 9TH
ers the comforts and even the neces-
stiles of life for the mere pleasure of
boarding.
Industry earns, economy manages,
prudence plans, frugality saves; but
thrift earns, plans, manages and saves.
As w. I'll. Kniffin, Jr., puts it in his
new book, "The Saving Bank and Its
Practical Work." "The thrift habit
teaches a man to earn largely, that
he may save wisely, so as to be able
to spend advantageously in the time
of need or opportunity, when the need
will be greater or the opportunity bet
ter than that of the present"
Lord Rosebery, the famous British
statesman, said whatever thrift is, it
is not avarice. Avarice is not gener-
Gus; and after all, it is the thrifty peo-
pie who are generous. All true gen
erosity can only proceed from thrift,
because it is no generosity to give
money which does not belong to you,
as is the case with the unthrifty. And
/ venture to say that of all the great
phillanthropists, all the great financial
benefactors of their species of whom
we have any record, the most generous
of all must have been thrifty men,
