MODERN DAY THRIFT.

able to sit idly by and watch the
profits roll In. Such is not the case
for the keen comp etition taat 10

and requires sharp wits and attention
to details to make investments pay.
The man that Is making good fs the
man that Is plugging up every little

An illustration Of the little ways In
which successful business managers
work ia the following: A firm thai
supplies features for newspapers has
always In the past mailed out its bills
once a week and returned the receipts
as fast ag the bills were paid.
That meant two stamps each week
or four cents. This firm Is now re-
turning It's receipt whenever possible
! in patches Of two or three, thereby
saving one or two stamps. That
means saving of two or four cents a
week. That two or four cents that is
saved represents just this--the differ

business, for 1t shows that the firm

suiIdina Up River frame.

Davenport Times: There IS hope IN
the new freight barge that Is being
sent from New Orleans to st. Paul
1t ia the frs. serious evi1ence OF
desire to develop the freight business
ON the Mississippi river by the en-
pioyment Of new ideas applicable to
river traffic. The steamboats, that
have essayed to carry freight have
been merely a little larger than the
steamers that Piled on the river be-
fore the days Of railways. They are
more powerful. little more commo-
dious for passengers and, Perhaps.
little faster. But their plans are es-
sentiaIly the same as those OF the
earlier days.
Now comes a long barge, drawing
little water, capable Of carrying a
large lead. and propelled by gas
engine system which II said to reduce
the cost of propulsion to a small
amount The trip IL to be made I'M
der commercial conditions SO as to
prove that regular shipments can be
depended upon. There is only one
possible source Of trouble for these
barges and that Is their length.
Whether they can be handled safely
in low water and kept to the channel
is an engineering and navigation prob
lem which it Is presumed has been
thoroughly investigated.
The barge system, however, to be
success must be supplemented by the
construction o. proper terminal facili-
ties. Heretofore this has been the
handicap Of river traffic, and 1t will
continue to be handicap no matter
what kind of craft may employed
Davenport has set an example FOL
the river cities to follow. The I'M
provemene Of the river front under
the direction OF the levee commission
Includes provisions for the proper
handling Of freight and for the erec
ton Of warehouses on the levee. Dav
export will be in position to take
advantage Of any river tranic thai
may develop as result of the CON
struction Of the new gas-propelled
