Thrifty Aliens.

Thrift, to become a fixed habit
must be practiced with regularity and
be given an opportunity for exercise
over an apprecfabie length Of time.
And unless 1t becomes liked as 4 habit
1t is OF comparatively little Yalne.
Spasmodic saving followed by spas
modic extravaganza makes for ruin as
surely as does habttHal appropriateness"
Frank G. Mortimer, Berkeley, CALI.
A Swiss banker, Etsiang n this
country recently, said:
II notice that ST is the custom IN
America for men 70 spend most OF
their salaries They do not appear TO
be much concerned about the rainy
day In Switzerland and other coun-
tries of Europe the people have de-
veloped the saving habit.
There is so much money deposited
in the savings banks in our country
that we have to go to foreign eoun-
tries to find investments for it.
In America the people seem to be-
lieTe in keeping plenty Of money IN
circulation. In a general way, this
policy is beneficial, but It shows lack
OF thrift in the individual.
There should be 9 happy medium
between the saving habit OK the ElFoT
peans and the spending habit OF Amer
leans. There Is q halfway ground
IN which the AQbaukAsSS "a bStA
methods may be realized"
The American people owe great
deal to the aliens, or those who quite
recently have become naturalized, for
lessons in thrift.
The average feFeign-born citizen and
the average alien is not spendthrtft.
In a single year the f0reigu-born
people of Massachusetts have sent
abroad, via one route, over $4,000 900,
In addition these same foreignIborn
people have sayed-deposited in banks
or elsewhere at home-other millions
In this respect, the old-time American
can AFFORD to take OF his hat to most
Of the foreigR-born, who are among
our most frugal people.
1t would be hard to say which are
the most thrifty. French and Italians
stand high in this matter. Thrift Is
likewise Characteristic Of the Ger
mans, the ScandinaVians and the
Scotch, and in countless instances II
has rewarded its possessors thous-
and fold. These people have learned
that the first essential in acquiring
the art of making money IS to learn
to save. Can not native born Amer
leans learn this lesson from them
In these days of electric motors
and gasoline engines we don't very
often see a 'treadmill, but most per-
sons know pretty we'll what it is-a
moving inclined platform geared up
so that the weight of the horses walk
ing on it turns the machinery
The point about it is that the horses
never get anywhere, for all their hard
work.
How many persons are occupied IN
lust the same waFi They work hard
and they accomplish things for soihe-
body else and do not regularly save
That is exactly the position you
are in if you are working for some
body else and do no tregularly save
from your income to build up some
reserve capital to fall back upon when
your strength is no longer equal to the
treadmill of ceaseless work.

ONE REASON WHY
PEOPLE ARE IMPOSED on

When it comes to looking after
their interests, from buying a legisIa-
ture to stealing a street, the rail
roads are always on the job, but the
following from the Tallahassee Re
cord shows how negligent the people
are of many opportunities to secure
or preserve their rights. The Record
says:
Quite number of railroad offic1-
ais attended the meeting on Wednes-
day last of the railroad commission
ers in regard to the short and long
haul rates. The hearing had been
postponed from time to time, and
the final date, July 15, which was
Wednesday, was the one set for the
hearing What astonished most of
the railroad officials was the abb
sence of the shippers, not one being
present to take any part in the dis
cussion One of the officials that in
his opinion, the entire agitation of
the long and short haul matter, was
occasioned by slack times and little
money in certain localities, and that
this was the cause of the entire dis
cussion. Judge w. j. Owen, who ap-
peared on behalf of the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad, went into the mat
ter at some length, and, at the close
of his mastery handling of the case,
the other railroad officials present,
stated that Judge Owen had precisely
stated the case in better words than
they could, and that his brief on the
matter might wei be considered as

ALACHUA COUNTY
FAIR ASSOCIATION

Alachua county is preparing to
follow the example of Marion in hav-
ing an annual fair. Knowing as We
do the enterprise Of the citizens Of
Alachua and the great resources of
their county, we are sure they will
have superb fair. In common with
other citizens Of Marion, We had
hoped that AIachua would join Ma
rion and Sumter in the greatest tri-
county fair in the south, but since
this plan has failed, we shall be
very glad to applaud the enterprise
that causes the citizens of our neigh
boring county to institute a fair of
their own. The date for the Alachua
fair is set a week before our own,
this giving the people of the two
counties an opportunity to attend
both, which will certainly be taken
advantage of by hundreds who live
SO close to the border line that they
take an almost equal interest in
both counties.
The officer of the Alachua County
Fair Association are as follows: ]. B.
simonton, Micanopy, president; B. F.
Williamson, Gainesville, vice7presi-
dent; Sam T. Fleming, Archer, treas
urer. The office Of secretary was
left open, the appointment to be
made by the executive committee
This committee was named as fol-
lows: J. B. Simonton, w. R. Tho
mas and B. F. Williamson.
+. The organization of the fair asso-
citation was celebrated by a big pa
rade and mass meeting in Gaines
Vile. At the meeting the principal
address was made by E. Y. Clark, of
Quitman, Ca, secretary of the
Brooks County Industrial Club. He
said that Brooks county is perhaps
9Ghe leading county in the South so
far as diversified farming is concern
ed, and that instead of sending else
where for food products, they raise
them at home. They are absolutely
independent of the packing houses
of the West, having last year raised
all the meats they needed and then
shipped out 384, 900 pounds of hams.
Corn and other products of the soil
were shipped out, and what the far
fnefs of Brooks county have accom-
9a0lished can be accomplished by the
farmers of Alachua. The people of
the South will never enjoy real free
dom, Secretary Clarke, said, until
they produce what they need.

The fact that John d. Rockefeller
has attained the age of seventy-fve
will doubtless bring out chorus of
adulation from his sycophants. The
further fact that he has to live on
his estate like a feudal lord in a
castle of the middle ages, with arm
ed guards at every hand, will not
encourage American boys to follow
his example. One of the richest men
in the world, it is doubtful that he
has the genuine love of any human

his donations with machine-like
system that is utterly devoid of soul

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The elimination of Victoriano
Huerta does not mean the pacif1ca-
ton of Mexico, but it clears the way
FOR the United States and other pow

When Huerta accepted the custody
of Francisco Madero, the lawful pres

sassinated almost in Madero's pres
ence, the United States stood close
by. Our republic was helpless to
prevent the murder and yet it was
in arms length when the blow was
struck. No other power occupied a
relative position to Mexico.
To recognize Huerta would have
been in effect to put the seal of Am
erican appreciation on the crime and
assist the criminal in enjoying its
fruits. Moreover, it would have beer
