FATHER DID THE BEST HE
 E(lUvn

',What was good enough for father i. good enough tor me" is no motto to hang on the wall of any nome or even to tolerate in ones mlnd The reason is, it isn't true. Anyons who doe sn't feel he has progressed with the world sufficiently to desire ctter things than father could nope to enjoy is fit for stage coaches, sail boats and communication by carrier.
 Some farmers are apt to be too con servative. It 5 these that subscf4De to the Chinese eospel that one should not improve on the system followed by ones ancestors. Many Farmer sports along the country roads Tn an automobile but has no modern equip ment in his home. This is manifest ly wrong. because mans flrsl thought should be for the comiort Of his home folks.
 We live in a perpetual cycle o. change, ond the man who lnglor- iously says what was good enough for father is good enough for me- IS advertising his backwardness through a megaphone.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
A MESSAGE TO SALARIED MEN

1 Systematically laying aside portion of our earnings, dur ing prosperous times, for less fortunate day, is as ancient in principle, as it is de5irable."- Franklin Pierce This conversation between an cx- ecutive and a subordinate asking for more pay is recorded in The Satur- day evening Post:
 own your own home?' 1No."
 ''Any investm cnts?' Never been able to make any salary too small"
 "If you can't manage such things for yourself, how can you for the house?"
 A word to the wise is sufficient.
 As far as saving and making money is concerned, therc are two kinds Of people in this wcrld-those who are always getting ready to do some thing, and those who go ahead and do it.
 The average salaried mans prob lem is hard one. He must adjust his living expenses very closely to his income.
 He has a fixed use" for every penny that comes into his hands.
 Each year his salary may be in CT eased a few dollars, but these few dollars quickly f;rd themselves "fix- ed" among the expenditures.
 He still lacks a surplus.
 Of course this system is wrong!
 We all know that. But the ques- ton is how can the system be chang ed? How can the average salaried man "get ahead" without unco:nrort- ably changing his way of living?
 There is way. Not a mere theory, but real way that other salarie d men are now using successfully.
 You can save dollar or two week if YOU assume an obligation to put this aside in a savings bank ac- count. You can adjust this amount t. your cost Of living and never miss it. You will no: inconvs nience your self. All that s necessary is to agree with yourself that your savings ac- count d posit will be a "fixed charge" the same as your rent or your trades mems bills or your insurance prem irans, all of which you manage to meet because you plan for them in advance. Will you do 1t? T. D. MacGREGOR.

lAs the outside of the house, so the inside. when folks are educated to the point where they like to have the outside of their homes looking as delightful as the circumstances will permit, they likewise will look after artistic effects on the inside.

Ebert H. Ferguson, Addressing
Commerce Chamber Lunch
con, Advises Body to Take
Care of the ''LittIe Things"

'No city can prosper unless the men
within it br"rt a get-together spirit
and pull for ne city as a whole"
Such was the theme OF the argu-
ment adv need by Ebert II. Fergu
son of G. ago in his defense of the
commerC club. before the Chamber
Of Com .ce at its regular weekly
luncheon 1T the Oliver. Mr.. Ferguson
held uD the commercial clubs of the
country as the new voice in civic
progress and one that must be reckon
ed with.
1T is the blockhouse Of the com
mercial world today" he said. we
are still in a pioneer state, but thank
heaven We have a vision. that takes
US far into future" This vision, he
said, is the one that is teaching men
the value of working, striving and
laboring together for the common
cause of one community.
''It is the only proper. foundation
and starting point for a successful
community" he said. Get men into
your commercial clubs who put their
individuality into il rather than their
money Individuality will go much
farther towards the success of an or
ganiZatiOn than the money. This in
dividuality must be permeated with
patriotism. Patriotism for the city
and the men who are in the city IL
will grow bigger men and that is what
a city needs. Get into the spirit OF
watching men grow rather than popu-
lation. and you are on the right track
towards commercial advancement"
In advocating cooperation Mr.. Fer
guson advised a reduction of organiza-
ton. He held that many a city goes
on the rocks because of too many or
ganiZationS each of which pulls and
works against the other Get down

said "and everybody in it pull for the

too, things about their own city. A
great ailment of many cities, he held,
is that the people within them do not
know anything about what is going
on industrially. 1t is the duty. he
said. of a commercial organization TO
conduct some kind of an educational
campaign whereby all citizens may
learn to know what it's manufacturers
make and how they make it, Moving

solving this problem.

LONDON. Jan. 21 - Although the
newspapers are minimizing the inn
portance of the Zeppelin raid over the
Norfolk coast. in which four persons
were killed and 81 wounded, the Brit
ish war office is taking more drastic
measures TO safeguard London against
attack from the air.The use of lights
for outside advertising purposes or for
the illumination of shop windows is
now prohibited entirely. Houses must
be darkened and automobiles must
not carry headlights. Instead small
red lights will be placed upon the rear
of motors and other vehicles and the
drivers are warned TO move slowly
and cautiously through the streets at
night Most OF the street lights are
now extinguished at night and Lon
