Mrs. Richard Van wy,

l. t = I. H. lI
In period of high cost Of living
like the present, 1t behooves every
man to look well to the purchasing
power of his dollars. not only as in
Dictated by market reports, but more
particularly the skin and wisdom
with which This dollars are expended.
Over market prices he has little, IL
any control, while the other is quite
within his province to regulate.
The dollara man spends should
buy Its full measure Of value; the dol
lar he saves should earn its full meas
ure oftinterest.
The dollar of today can buy no
more than sixty-fve cents ten years
ago. In other words. had you placed
dollar in the savings ibann ten years
ago and left it undisturbed, you
would find, upon drawing it out to-
day and going to market, that even
with Its increase in value due to the
working Of compound interest, it
would be no more effective in satisfy
ingsyour wants than was the original
sum. While 1t was growing in size,
IT was contracting in Its power to
buy.
We are apt to get the notion that
thrift is merely the saving Of money,
and judge mans thrift by the num-
Der and frequency of his visits to the
savings bank, forgetting that thrift y
Just as much proved by the way dol
lar Is spent as by the number of dol
lars earned. Spending Is, perhaps, q
thnersarti than earning; for all can
earn, but few can spend wisely. Given
an equal income, some will live we'll
and prosper, while others will run in
to debt. 1t is simply the knack of
knowing how, and when and where to
buy, and-having the cash to pay.
Witness the very poor. They are
proverbially thriftless, perhaps of me-
cessity in good many cases. Coal
by the pail, meat by the ten cents
worth, clothes and furniture on the
installment plan-the most costly
method.
Granted that a man is thrifty and
has surplus at'the weeks end, what
shall he do with 1t? Buy lot in
tsome deserted section dollar
down and dollar a week for fifty
years? Listen ia; the lure of the get

per cent. stock? Buy a house and
stop paying rent and begin to worry i?
mo, nonegof theseyet. The pathway
of thrift leads straight to the savings
bank, for therein is profit and safety.
The savings bank and the savings
departments Of other sound banks
Ewere instituted for the small saver.
Their fundamental purpose is to as
Esemble the savings Of the masses. In

goodly share Of the profits by

fHobson and the NLasterly Retreat.

SHobson and the Mastery Retreat.
The King of France was not unique,
or rather he would not have been in
theEpresent time. In fact, marching
up The hill and then marching down
again, Is rather common pastime in
these progressive by psychological
times. Last December Captain Hob
sonaassembled an army Of several
thousand men and women on the
plaza, and as many as could be ac-
accommodated marched up the east
steps of the capitol, and there in the
bright sunshine of winter day,
presented to Captain Hobson and
Senator Sheppard petition to the
Congress of the United States, pray
ingsfor the adoption Of a resolution
Ito submit to the states IA amend
ment to the federal constitution that
woald forever prohibit the manufac-
lure for sale or all alcoholic bever-
ages,within the confines of the United
States and all the territory under the
American flag.
1t was an inspiring spectacle. as
was the scene in the House when
Captain Hobson read the memorials,
Including one indorsing him as the
prohibition candidate for United
States senator from the great state
OF Alabama. The press gave more
space to this march Of the prohi-
bitionists UP the capitol steps than
It did to the performance of the
King of FEancepand his 30, 900 men.
The nat went forth that Captain Hob

political cunning and declared "of
cavil and feyasion. I'VE have had
enough. They must have the de-
cision and action of the statesmen.
The hearings before the judiciary
committees of the House and Senate
were also inspiring and convincing.
+ The army was present to enforce the
decree. Represenators and sena-
tors began to cultivate chewing gum
and mediate on the coming of the
dry season when nothing stronger
than grape juice would be be known
north of the moonshine districts OF
North Carolina and Tennessee.
But when the Judiciary committee
I began to get down to the business OF
4 reporting the Hobson resolution to
the House. the modern king Of pro-
ihibition began to study that most diff
iAcult of military tactics, the master
,ly retreat, and when the committee
onprules met Wednesday, June TO- to
8 prepare a rule to give this Hobson
resolution the right Of way in the
House. the gallant captain and the
inyincible Dinwiddie. appeared with
able arguments to show that the time
was inopportune for action. The
army that had marched up the hill
with the moving picture machines
clicking off the dramatic poses OF
generals. colonels. majors, captains,
Slieutenants. coroprals, sergeants
and privates, had played fits part, and
retired to the ease Of private life
again. Captain. Hobson was left like

no movie artist present. TO record the

cation Of the grand. gloomy and Pc

LIST, 1860, died Dec. IL, 1914. From an ac-
cident in early life, she was debarred
from many things that young people en-
joy. Later she suffered from many af-
flictions, and for several years had been
"shut in." She has fully appreciated
what her friends have done TO bring a
little sunshine into her life of pain and
encouragement.
Her firm faith, which was in the life i'm
mortal, where she would be free from
earthly afflictions greatly sustained her.
AS she lay in peace, with fragrant
flowers around her, brought by loving
hands, none could wish for her a longer
life of suffering, only thankful. for her
sake, that she had gone into that life

Herm Kinds is man, am glad to know
Because he made that Turnip grow.
He planted the seed with tender care.
Then watched to see what would grow
there;
For he thought maybe be might be able
To raise something good TO put on his
table.
Soon he saw a small green sprout;
T0tn the leaves began to grow out.
Next Turuip long and slim
Was making "goo goo eyes" at him.
The Turnip grew large and round,
SO Herm pulled it out of the ground.
He carried il up TO Maxfield's store,
And said to Bernard soft and low,
81 bate to let that Turnip go,
But slice 1t up fine and thin
And give each customer as they come 10,
A generous piece with my good will"
So the inquisitive ones will now keep

And give poor Herm a chance to rest

1t is the desire of the League to make
this an occasion of giving, rather than of
receiving, time of comprehending the
meaning of Christmas. We request that
no one make a display of giving or show
of gifts. We suggest that those children
who may be favored with an abundance
of gifts, receive most of them at home,
rather than at the tree. We ask this out
of consideration for those children whose
presents may be few. The Gift Com
mittee will try to provide little re-
membrance for every child. No one will
be sighted Intentionally.
While NOT neglecting those at home
who need help, we will also give to those
far away. A box will be provided to re-
ceive gifts for the Belgians. Help us to
fill it. Bring clothing of any kind, pro
vided that it is clean and wearable-un- |
