SHERMAN ON THRIFT.

We wish that every boy and girl
here would read carefully what Sena
tor Sherman Of Illinois said In his re
cent Chicago speech Here are some
extracts and there Is whole big LOT
of truth in them
The day of small things was never
out of sight more than In 1914. Every,
body thinks in big figures, in large
volumes.
We require patience. Savings de-
positors are good illustration of the
net results OF patience. There is an
average of s444.72 to each private saw
ings bank deposition OF the United
States, and 1866 for each person in
the United States. There is an aver
age OF s102.17 for each postal savings
depositor and OF thirty-five cents for
each person In the United States.
France has ss967 for each deposit
tor in private banks, and 5000 for
each in postal savings banks. That
country has s1904 deposits in private
banks for each person land $3.50 pos
tai deposits for each person.
Savings are Intimately connected
with social justice; a favorable bal
ance between income and outgo is the
first step In domestic economy 1t is
the day of small things in the wealth
of nations. Have We forgotten it In
the United States?
Nothing is more unpleasant or
more unpopular than to talk economy.
Nothing Is SO inexorabIe a law. No
governmental action, no industrial or
social system can repeal the law OF
thrift. One hundred and fifty years
ago philosopher said. IF the taxes
laid By the government were the only
ones re had to par We might easily
discharge them. but we have others,
and mach more grsievons.'
IL times be hard for soms. an in.
cutrF into the reason is had by gov.
ernDentaa action Il is not popular TO
say with some that too many are Nv
ing with automobiles that ought rot
to support bicycle
TWO many come to the Offices and
places of business painfully lacking
in application and accuracy. The
boy who pays attention to both
grows, and becomes reliable. He is a
good employe. When he works for
himself he is an equally good master.
these truths are homely For them
there Is no substitute. Mere academic
drill will not do So University de-

a THOUGHT WORTH WHILE.

JAMES heeies. editor OF the Chicago
iriDune, gave voice to a thought
worth while In an address at the
Memphis Prosperity Dinner, a few
nights ago when he referred to the
caths taken by Athenian youths when
they were admitted to the army. Mr..
Kelley said:
we viii never bring disgrace to
this, our city. by any act of dsshon-
esty or cowardice. We will fight for
the ideals and the sacred things OF
the city" That oath was taken BY
every soldier of ancient Greece and
why not make 1t the rallying CRY OF
every man in every city today.
Cities must think and feel as cities
when this awakening comes. develop
ment comes along the lines of person
al character. Most European cities
have been in much better position to
begin their work than have American
cities. They have been free TIC do
what seems wisest instead of being
tied down by ancient village charters
and state laws, passed when great
cities were not dreamed of.
Thirty million aliens have been
poured into this country by the tide
of immigration. The inrushing popu-
iation has raised the price OF land. In
the cities the slums have developed
with germ diseases, sweatshops, ply
steal and moral degenerates and all
the menace TO society filthy humans
warrant. Personal discomfort bred
discontentment and that In turn
fomented agitation, and peace and
prosperity fee before the agttator.
It was when these truths began to
force themselves on the thinking men
OF the country that they began to
awaken to the fact that each man had
some obligations to his brother. Some
call this spirit social Justice It IS
more. It is good horse sense and good
business. Breaking down class feel
ing based on mutual ignorance is dif-
acult work. but it Is being done ana
me lob is paying handsome DIVIDENDS
Mr.. Kelley mentioned the public
fairgrounds, hospitals. bathing
beaches. night schools which are 70
|be found In many cities as evidences
of the growth of the advancement OF
"a kindlier feeling among all classes.
Here. then, is the real community
q. interest. he declared. The con-
nunitr o. interest will be the city in
which all the people know each other
ana believe In each other; the city OF
4 common brotherhood, of united
purpose"
Born amid poverty and rising to ms
present position by sheer OF his OWE
industry and indominable will power,
Mr. ReeIey is better qualified to
sneak these truths than most men.
long years of service in profession
which give man better under
standing OF the needs OF humanity
than any other calling makes his
suggestions doubly important.

HIS MIDDLE NAME,

HIS MIDDLE NAME.
He isn't handsome.-far from that,
AS anly beauty goes:
He doesn't sport the latest hat
Or up-to-datest clothes.
And yet he is more popular
Than all the blooming roost;
And EVERYBODY likes him, for
His middle name is Boost
He doesn't wear the latest styles
Or know the latest fad,
But he just smiles and smiles and
smiles
When things are going bad.
He talks a lot, when rainclouds pour,
OF crops they have produced;
He sees their silver lining, for
His middle name is Boost.
He makes no million bucks year,
And yet he has enough;
His charity is giving cheer
When things are looking tough.
OF friends he owns a plenty, more
Than money has induced;
Yep. everybody likes him, for
His middle name is Boost.
Get out yourself and boost a bit
And jolly folks along,
For knocking never makes hit
When things are breaking wrong.
II you should hear kicker roar,
Just bump him off the roost
And show the folks you're plugging for
Your middle name is Boost.
