THE WASTE PRACTICED.
Present Strinsency Teaches a Good
Lesson.

Thrift depends on (D Industrious
earning : producing making sofne-
thing; ~ systematic saving ''laying
up for q rainy day." (0 wise invest
ment; ~ economic buying; (5) temper
ate living, in thought, in food and in.
dress; l6) cultivation and preservation
The U. s. is the most extravaQant
nation of all the earth. We produce
the raw stuff but we do not conserve it,
Or convert it. We comply with the
first requisite to thrift, industry, but
we wholly neglect the second. We are
not saving. And never having taken
the second step we can not take the
third or fourth, for without the cash
there can be no economic buying. But
compared with the North the South is
far the most wastefully
extravagant-part Of the whole United
States. We make and have not,
because we waste. We borrow
more, make more, and waste again.
But now we must stop. For more than
q century we have borrowed money
from Europe, but the war will stop
that. They will have no more money
to loan, they prefer to burn it. At q

lion month it will not take them long
to use up the five billions we owed them
when war came, SO we can not borrow
from Europe again soon. Since North
ern banks can not borrow from Europe
they can not loan 90 much to the South.
So all along the line the loan business
will be curtailed. What are we going
to do? There is only one thing we can
do-save, SAVE, SAVE.
Let the ways of thrift be taught in
every home and every school.
Let's follow the example of our
European neighbors in saving. Let's
get creditable standing among the
peoples Of the earth in our saving ac-
counts. Let's teach every child the
virtue and value, the duty and demand,
of a savings account.
Let's change these figures. Read
them and think. They show the numb
er of persons in each 1000 who have
saving accounts in the respective coun-
tries:

Read these figures again, and you
will lot wonder that we are borrow
ing people. Then read them again and
you will not wonder that the European
nations can and do lend US money. But
they have quit loaning us, so now is a
good time to quit borrowing.
But how can we?
BY systematically saving some of our
earnings.
The duty is upon US. Farther ex-
traxagance is sin.
Let's resolve to SAVE and DO 1T.
