TALKS ON THRIFT
THE BATTLE AGAINST WASTE

has prospered in America more than
In all other countries. In Boston
Hives a dealer who has accumulated
more than a million dollars. The
leading dealer In Providence, who
handles nothing but scrap iron, is
worth half a million, while Philadel-
phia has two junk millionaires and a
cluster Of near-millionaires in the
same business.
But, primarily, IL is the individual
citizen who is to blame for the ex-
travavgance, which seems to be IN our
blood The whole American public
is wild with spending. Public econo-
my is a lost art" says James J. Hill.
Extravaganza is our national curse,
says John d. Rockefeller.
! Men and women who are living on
/ salaries and whose income seems as
sured, do not stop to think where they
would be If for any reason that in
come should cease, while times and
conditions like the present incite them
to spend and spend. Living costs
much; luxuries are common-in fact
they are necessities" with many
The demand is always for more and
more and more!
If Americans economical in good
earnest for awhile they could do some
amazing things.
BY cutting their liquor bills in hal!
they would save S500,000O0O in
year.
The people of this country pay S57,'
599591 a year to foreigners for theil
supply of coffeee. Should they drink
one cup of coffee instead of two, they
would save S2S,799,795.
II Americans should bpy one-hal
the hats they do the saving would
amount to $24000,000 in one year.
Let the men smoke pipes, II thel
like, but as for cigars-well smoke
one cigar where you now smoke two
and see what happens. The aggre
gate saving would easily amount Z
S106,0 100000 in a year.
The Worlds Work" sums up th'
case In this way:
Three or four things are GER
tain: First, the problem of max
ing both ends meet, as 1t has al
ways been, a very hard problem
for the average man and the
average family; second, the aver
age American man and family
live a great deal better nov than
half a century ago; third, larger
} proportion of Americans than OF
! any other nation live we'll; and
fourth, a still larger proportion
might live we'll If we had devel-
oped thrift and good manage
ment as several European people
have. We are yet in that period
OF our national growth when we
openly or unconsciously regard
very careful management Of ones
personal expenditure as a some
{ what niggardly and belittling ac-
complishemnt.
What are you going to do about It
Evening journal., 1913-08-28

Some of our greatest indus
trial organizations have learned
their A. B. C's in waste elimina-
ton and have found themselves we'll
repaid. The time is coming when
every man who lays claim to
business ability will keep the
question of waste before him con-
stantly. Thomas A. Edison.
Professor Ferrero, the famous Ital-
ian historian, says of us:-"The
rapidity of your development and the
creation of a multiplicity of new
needs eat up the large earnings Of
the people, who, though they are liv-
ing better than Europeans, unfortu-
nately have not acquired the habit OF
saving"
1t is a very good thing sometimes
to "see ourselves as others see us"
White 1t is not possible, as Edmund
Burke said, to bring an indictment
against a whole people, there is a
great deal of truth in what this dis
tinguished foreigner said.
In New York City and at Washing
ton there have been established
Bureaus of Standards, which are
bringing about a Standardization of
quality, quantity and price in ma
terials and supplies which is result
Ing in an enormous saving of the peo-
ple's money.
The New York Bureau of Standards
has been in existence only about two
years, but already, on account of the
immense economics effected it, has
not only amply justified its establish
ment, but it has attracted the atten-
tion of persons everywhere who are
interested in the public welfare. Ef-
forts are being made to establish
similar bureaus in other cities and
for the benefit of the different depart
ments of State government. The State
of New York has a Commissioner OF
Efficiency and Economy who is ex.
pected to save thousands and hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars every
year to the taxpayers of the State by
the waste and the extravagances he
will stop and the economies he viii
institute.
Oficers of the Government are be-
ginning to realize the necessity fol
economy in this era of prodigality
Business men are waking up, too, anC
scientific management and economy
are becoming the watchwords An ex
ample is the big department store
which employs man whose sol'
duty It is to 60 around and turn of
electric lights not in use. He saveI
the store more than mis- wages.
1t will take a long time, however
for this leaven of economy to leaveI
the whole lump of our Commercial
and industrial extravaganza, which
It is asserted, costs the consume
forty cents on every dollar An in
teresting commentary on this subjec
is the fact that the humble junk busi
ness, the trade of unconsidered triies

TOMATO CROP AT ITS HEIGHT.
Kent County Expects Best Pack il
Many Years.

DOVER, Del, Aug 2s.-The tomato
crop is practically at its highest point
this week, the fruit being most excel
lent in flavor and size. Canneries all
through Kent county are working full
time, and many of them have found
it necessary to import foreign labor
as they cannot get enough in the local
tiles where they are located The pack
promises to be one OF the best known
in years. Because of the dry spell OF
the past two weeks, the tomatoes are
free from water, which gives them a
better color and much better staying
qualities for canning purposes.

The people of Vermont will be called
apon at the annual town meetings next
March to express their wishes in re

ibis referendum it is possible that the
governor viii call no special session
of the legislature until it is in posi-
ton to act in accordance with the YER
dict then rendered Between now and
next March the voters of the state
ought to be given an opportunity for
thorough study Of the primary ques-

may be recorded. If the matter could
only be put before the people in an
absolutely unbiased way, devoid OF
partisan or personal interest, it would
save a lot of hard feeling and wasted

To the student of Shakespeare. the

being recognized as Shakesparean
