TALKS ON THRIFT
No. 17.-EXAMPLES OF REAL
THRIFT

Our people should be taught
to be more thrifty and saving,
and this to a large extent
would solve the question OF in
creased cost of living.'-Gover-
nor Brewer of Mississippi.
Miss Anna Barrett, fourteen, who
lives neal Grand Forks. recently won
the North Dakota pork-producing
contest by making a profit OF
$256.22 on a single litter of pigs,
She attained the championship in
competition with several hundred
boys and girls throughout the state.
She put the money into the bank
and will reinvest it as opportunity
offers. Her motto is not Pigs is
pigs" but pigs is money"
From eighteen cents to half a mil
lion dollars is how Edward Ulseth's
capital has grown in a few years. He
is a Norwegian who arrived in Calu-
met, Mich, with eighteen cents in
his pocket. He applied for a job at
a grocery store and found the grocer
about to throw away a tub of spoil
ed butter. Ulseth asked for and was
given the rancid butter, which he
proceeded to sweeten it by mixing it
with milk, having invested his CAPT.
tai of eighteen cents in that COM
modify. Then he turned salesman
and sold all his butter, realizing
enough to keep him going until he
got work at his regular trade as a
carpenter. He saved his money and
became a contractor. Now he has
thousands invested in real estate,
railroad bonds and copper stocks.
The garden season is at hand
again, so there is special interest in
the story of a Worcester, Mass,
youth who at twenty years of age
has to his credit $4,000 made from
his vegetable garden in half an
acre of land in the rear of his faith
er's house.
He started in at 10 years of age
and was not very strong or healthy
at first. But his efforts were re-
warded. At the age of IT he bor-
rowed $500 from a trust company
and built a green house. The next
year it was necessary to add fifteen

CRUEL JOKE IS
PLAYED ON MAN
JACK HILL COMPELS TONOPAH-
AN TO SHED HIS CLOTHES
AND HIKE

Jack Hill, prospector and mine OPP
orator, at present concentrating his
activities in. the Gold Mountain dis
trict southwest of Goldfield, lately
evinced a grim humor in playing a
practical joke as demonstrated by a
recent trip to Tonopah in which he
entertained a friend in such a man
ner as to have a warrant sworn out
fer his arrest. The warrant was
served on Hill by the local officials
and he was taken back to Tonopah
last night by auto in the custody or
Chief of Police Evans of the silver
camp.
Hill is the possessor of a big Pack
ard seven passenger automobile, and
after putting away many drinks he
Eenevolently embraced his comrade
and told him he vas going to take
him Tor a ride. The proposal was
accepted joyfully and the %eventful
Journey began.
Several hours later, in the wee
sma' hours of the cold morning, the
friend" clad only in the garb sup
posed to have been the fashion in
the days of Adam and Eve, namely
without a stitch, limped painfully
over the hill going into Tonopah,
f%ootsore, weary and chilled to the
bone. Who first discovered his
plight is not known, but it was a
man who loaned him clothing suf-
ficient to pass the board of censor
ship. With the added confidence
of clothes the friend" quickened
his steps and after reaching police
Headquarters told his almost unbe-
lievable story.
He said that when about three or
four miles from Tonopah, Hill sud
denly stopped the "a drew an ugly
licking revolver and commanded him
to shed his wearing apparel. Hill
didn't even let him retain his shoes
and trousers and when he was strip
ped told him to get out of the ma
chine. Upon doing so, Hill threw
opel, the throttle and continued on
to Ccldfeld, waving his arms in part
ing adieu to the discounted To-
nopahan, who could do nothing but
start back TO the silver camp. Hill
When arrested refused to discuss the

feet to his fifty-foOt greenhouse be-
cause shipping fine vegetables to
Boston was so profitable.
Now this youth has, it is said,
$500 in the bank and a greenhouse
and stock which are estimated at
$500 more. Here is n who be-
gan badly handicapped, but who has
his business, health and working
capital well established.
There is a man in n of the New
Jersey suburbs of New York City
who has built there an average OF
20 houses a year for the past eight
years. This builder started out as a
wheelwright and carpenter in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, handicapped by the fact
that his book larnin was very
limited. But he was a superior
workman, and it was not long before
his skill and industry were reward
ed. He was made a foreman in the
shop where he worked. Then he
studied nights and with the aid of
his good wife prepared himself for
something better. He became equal
ly adept at figuring interest and he
made up his mind that it was better
to receive interest than pay it.
When he had saved a little CAPT
tai and learned about all there was
to know about house building, he
looked round to see where Houses
were most needed. He thought this
was Bergen county, New Jersey. So
he began there. He seemed to
know intuitively what home seekers
wanted and he built so well and at
such a fair price that he had good
luck from the first. Part of the
profit from each house he built vent
into his bank account and later into
good permanent investments. Now
he is well-to-dO, a respected citizen,
a borough officer and a director in
the local building and loan associa-

workings from the old shaft and
recently some 20 men, representing
seven different leasing outfits, COM
menced work.
There are several miles of work.
ings at the old shaft of the company
which is 500 feet deep. The lower
levels will not be leased at this time
but from the 200 level to the 500
level different blocks of ground on
the different veins have been sur
veyed and many more leases will be
given out in addition to those al
ready let. These leases are to the
north, south and west of the shaft.
In addition to the leases on the
mine a lease on the second class

The royalties for the leases on the
mine and dumps will be 20 per cent
on ore running $50 or less per ton,
ad ?5 per cent on ore going above
$50.
These leases will in no way in
terfere with the company operations

though it may prove even wider.
That can only be told when the foot
wall is reached. No material change
took place during the week.

iET|MATl]M Sent
TO REFUGEE
VESSELS

The beard of harbor commissioners
at special meeting held late yester
day. issued an uItimatum to the Ger
man refugee ships now tied up at local
wharyes. The nItimatum calls for the
removal OF the steamers from the har
bar before August 81. Failure to dc
so will result in the commissioners
taxing the vessels at the regular ton,
mage rates.
At present these ships are allowed
to tie up to the piers at rate of SIC
day each. This is much less than
it would cost for coal burned il the
ships anchored outside the harbor, il
is said Under the tonnage tax. the
steamers would be required to pay
from $40 to 500 a day as long as
they remained in the harbor, Commis.
sioner Mccarthy, said.
The special meeting was called by
Chairman Charles R. Forbes upon re.
ceipt of letter from Hackfeld & Com.
pany. agents for the steamers.
At the request of Hackfeld & Com
pany, the commissioners two weeks
ago granted the agency two weeks In
which to decide upon some plan for
the removal of the steamers from the
harbor. This period expires today,
and the letter from Hackfeld & Com.
pany requested that an additional stay
of two weeks, until August 81. be
granted.
After some discussion Commissioner
C. j. Mccarthy introduced resOlu-
ton to the effect that the steamers
will be allowed to remain IN the harbor
until August 81 at the present rate of
$40 day each. and that If the YES
sells are still tied up at the piers on
September I, the tonnage tax will APP
ply to each steamer.
Then these steamers came into the
harbor It was agreed by those In
charge of them that they would move
the ships outside the harber on IL
hours notice, said Colonel cCarthy.
.and now they say they cant move
them because they state that q suffi-
cient amount of coal cannot be sc.
cured.
lllcy IL nave W sUO AAO1S0 OutoluC
the harbor, that's all, declared Chair
man Forbes,
COMMISSIONER z. e. BODICE seconded
Commissioner AicCarthy's resolution
and 1t passed on q unanimous vote.
Secretary Church and Commissioned
Wakefield we're not present at the
meeting.
The first of these refugee ships came
ina year ago. Since then they have
been constant source of trouble for
the ,harborniaster and the harbor COM
mission. The harbor is now longest
ed so that at times steamers have to
undergo delay while other vessels are
tied up at the wharves. Two of the
refugee ships are at Pier q, another
at the naval wharf, two at the Hack
field wharf and another is anchored
outside the harbor.
