TALKS ON THRIFT
Great Cause for Thanksgiving Here

"America is favored above all
other nations in the world. Her
enormous crops. her capacity for
expanding industry and to supply
food products. necessaries of life
and comforts, and her resource
fulness afford her an opportunity
that seldom comes to a nation"
There ought to be a particularly
ready response this year to the
Presidents proclamation calling for
general thanksgiving.
As a nation we have much TO be
thankful for in 1914, year which
has brought untold sorrow and dis
tress to the people of European coun-

the vision of long-continued poverty.

American may rejoice most keenly
at this time.
Some cynic has said that gratitude
is sometimes only lively sense OF
future favors. If that is the case
we as a nation ought to be doubly
thankful this year because there is
every indication that we are going TO
be more highly favored than ever
among the nations of the earth from
this time forth.
But, we have also lesson TO learn
just now.
In Europe savings are being burn
ed up and destroyed at an incredible
rate. says Golfers Weekly. We can
not stop that But for purposes of
Americas future development. we
can, and must, accumulate savings Of
our own.
The one universal way in which
all can help along prosperity here is
by the practice of economy.
A prominent Western banker re-
ttntly SAID,
This country and practically tho
entire world has for about ifteer
years been travelling the highway ol
increasing extravaganza. This an
plies to Government, State. municipa
and individual expenditure.
The unparalleled war now ragin.
has brought us up with rom,
turn and economy must be the watch
word. President Wilson is now EN-
phasizing the necessity for retrench
ment in National affairs. State an,
city officials should both preach an
practice it. In Chicago municipa
officers and citizens leagues are ca
operating TO accomplish IT,"
We can be thankful that we are a
thrifty a nation as we are, but ther
is still much room for improvement
while the incentives for saving on IN
part of Americans are now create
than ever before.
