TALKS ON THRIFT
Why Thrifty People Are Happy.
BY t. d. 8IacGREGOR.

"EXtravagance becomes cOnta-
giouS and affects the community,
the state and the nation, tending
to produce dissatisfaction and dis
content, while on the other hand
economy and thrift promote hap
piness and cOntentment''- Cover
nor Charles r. Miller. of Delaware.
Thrifty people are happy people, be
case their thrift brings them security
and content.
In these opening days of the year, it
is fitting for every citizen to think of
thrift in its broad aspect and remem-
Der that the prosperity of the nation
is largely founded upon the thrift OF
its people
ThSjft produces simple habits, clean
bodies and cOntented minds. 1t makes
nations great and powerful
Out of the savings of the thrifty
come all huge investments, all funds
for great public works and Industrial
enterprises. Without thrift there
would be no transportation systems,
no investments in community or in
duStrial securities no great and pow
erful financial institutions
Dividends on savings are the imme-
date material reward of thrift. But
there can be no interest without prin-
cipal, and the way to build up a re-
serve fund is not to wait until you can
put lot Of money into a bank but
to save and deposit the small amounts
as you go along.
The savings bank is the greatest
single agency of thrift in this country
and savings pass book is a badge of
honor for any citizen.

Your Thoughts.
That one who deserves to- be deemed

not in the amount but the direction of
it. Thoughts are the shaping hands
that mold his life. He obeys the wise

Thought is valuable life ammunition.

100 Years Ago Today

7 RA ALLEN, a younger brother of
Ethan Allen and one of the founders
of Vermont, died 100 years ago to-
day in Philadelphia. Born in Connecticut
in l75I Ira Allen accompanied his
brothers to Vermont at the age of 20,
and in one year became an extensive
land proprietor. He was lieutenant in
Col Warmers regiment in the Canada
and a trusted cOnfdant of
Gen. Montgomery. He was first treas
urer of Vermont and a member of the
board of war during the revolution. He
was prominent in the Haldiman negO-
tiations, and while his conduct gave
some color to the charge that he was
ready to surrender the territory of Yer
mont to the crown, the fact remains
that his action delayed the consumma-
ton of an agreement, and saved the ter
rit9ry to the United States. In the lat
ter years of his life Allen met with
financial reverses and at the time of his
death he was harassed by creditors and
lawsuits.

The Boss
, BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "At Good Old siwasb.p

IT. HE boss IS a man who comes in at
10 o'clock, and fOrgets to come back
after lunch whenever the weather
is decent enough for golf.
He is also the man who has nothing
to do when he is in the office except keep
two steOngraphers busy and raise a
Mexican Instruction whenever someone
makes a mistake.
The boss has a large roomy desk. with
nothing on it except his feet; and
whenever friend comes in he closes the
door and they go into executive session
until the latest stories have been told.
The boss rolls down in the morning in
his automobile and wears one of those
overcoats with naturally curly collars.
He gets such big salary that if he had
to carry it home in dollars it would
break his back. But all he does is figure
out how to keep the office a little buster.
This makes him so tired that in June he
goes to Europe with his family for the
summer. This compels the assistant boss
to do his work and the assistant boss
thereby gets a fine rest.
The boss is a goOd-natured chap at
long range, and it is fine to see him let
out one of those big 45-waist-measure
laughs whenever the president of the
comes in and tells him about his
last fishing trip. But when you have to
go IN on the carpet before the boss and
explain to him just why sales in your
territory are slipping down, he is
cross between Nero and Bengal tiger
Next to fancy dentistry, getting fired by
a big, fat, goOd-natured boss is about
the most painful thing on earth. It must
be fine to be boss and sail blithelv
