TALKS ON THRIFT
Absolutely Pure
Worldwide ThriffIessness

"When the masses are educated
TO understand the Importance OF
thrift, our national thrift and pros
perity will be at fioodtide. Vii
liam c. Cook. Chicago Banker.
In all the discussion and speculation
about higher living cost and the slowing
mp of business at the present time. il is
only once in while that we hear the
matter OF thrift or the lack Of il. men
toned in that connection. and yet it is
one OF the most important factors in the
situation.
There is nothing local about the con-
ditiOns which now exist They are
worldwide and the chief cause is lack OF
plain. old-fashioned thrift. II is simply
the habit of extravaganza. of wasteful-
ness, of heedlessness Of people growing
fast among al classes OF people and all
governments. Before capital can be ere.
at,d wealth must be saved. However
great the production Of wealth. il it Is
not saved il cannot be applied to TIE
reproductive process-to the creation OF
new wealth. But even If when saved
aud thus applied il 10 devoted to re-
producing wealth in new. economically ~

useless and ex. -avagant forms, it is q
burden rather than benefit 10 the livcs
OF the plain people whose necessities OF
food. clothing and shelter must be sup
piled out OF the sum total.
The American people are spending Ia
forms of luxury. pleasure and display
that are new in this generation. large
amounts that in an earlier day would
have been saved and invested. Families
in cities and the country, that formerly
would have lived economically. saved
money and banked or loaned it or them
selves invested it, now. for example,
have automobiles costing from few
hundred TO several thousand dollars an
mally for their upkcep. Instead OF
buying mortgages they sign mortgage.
Instead OF depositing money in th'
bank they are trying to borrow il for
eNtrayagant purposes.
OF course. every American is not so
foolish. There are still some who have
not bowed the knee to this Baal of EX.
travagancc. but the genuinely thrifty
man is too often a lonesome individual
in these times.
