what inconsistent from a news
paper that has good deal to
say about thrift; but If it is it
will have to remain so. For this
newspaper is a good deal inn
pressed with the need that while
everybody in these times of dis
turbance should be thrifty, and
avoid needless waste and extra
vagance, this Christmas is a
time when everybody can and
should be just little IMPROVE
| dent.
The danger of too much thrift
at Christmas is that the spirit
of Christmas, already much bat
tered by the prospects that a
world war will still be in prog
ress on Christmas day-and
perhaps Christmas day next
year-may be quite drowned out
by what, in this aspect, we might
call tightWadism.
Suppose everybody decided
not to have any Christmas to
speak of this year. The stores
that had laid in stocks would
find them unstable. Their bills
would come in just the same,
but there would be no receipts
to balance them, The stores
would have to lay off help; and
Christmas would find many in
idleness, perhaps in want.
Thrift should be the guiding
spirit all the rest of the year.
Nor need one be wantonly ex-
travagant at Christmas. But
there is need this year that ev-
erybody "loosen up" sensibly.
Money will circulate more eag-
erly, and matters will be better
all around, If a fair degree of
liberality is shown in the
Christmas shopping.
So there are two things to
think about in connection with
Christmas buying this year:
Buy as literally as you can
reasonably afford; and.
Buy early.-Duluth Herald.
