NO RISE IN OYSTER PRICES.
Outlook Good for Ample Supply Dur
ing Christmas Period.

Oysters are about the only articles of
food that have not advanced sharply in
price. and as consequence the de-
mand for them is good. The masters
of the runboats that bring the bivaTves
from the beds in the lower river to the
market here report oysters rather
scarce and cargoes hard to obtain. This
is due in large measure to the fact
that many runboats from Baltimore are
now coming to the lower river and
have forced an advance in price on the
oyster by bidding high for the catch
of the dredgeboats.
A supply ample to meet the heavy
Thanksgiving day demand was on hand
in good time. and since then boats have
been arriving every day and have kept
the market fairly well supplied.
Masters of the runboats are now fig
uring to arrange their trips SO as to be
here for the Christmas trade. The out
look at this time is for sufficient sup
ply unless ice makes and keeps the
boats from reaching Washington. Oys-
ters from the Potomac beds are today
selling at from so to 65 cents a bushel.

Prevalence of Waste.

In New York city alone Italians own
more than s2O0,0O0,O0O worth of real
estate. Most of this was acquired
through the practice of thrift. Waste
in the United States is prodigious Al
most anywhere one turns shameless
waste is apparent For example, We
waste 1858. 100000 a year through losses
to growing crops. grain in storage, fruit
trees. etc, by insects whose depredations
could be greatly lessened by careful
methods of agriculture.
We waste s22, 100000 a year in the
manufacture of coke. in lost gases;
$500. 100000 year in soil erosion: $685.,
900 year through foods and fresh
cts, which could be very largely pre-
vented by proper engineering. We
waste $40, 100000 a year in the careless
handling of eggs, and SO it goes. 1t is
predicted that within the next five years
thrift will be taught in the public
schools of America, just as geography
and arithmetic
The secretary for the American So
ciety for Thrift declares that even
though thrift is not now officially taught
in our schools, teachers throughout the
country are writing for information on
the subject that they may disseminate
it to their pupils. Thrift by education"
is the watchword of the thrift campaign
being conducted by the education asso
citation and the thrift society.

Prizes Total Over 81, 900.

Prizes aggregating more than $1,000
are to be distributed to school pupils
writing the best essays on Thrift
this being part of a great national
thrift movement promulgated by the
National Education Association and the
American Society for Thrift The es-
says are to be judged by committee
of prominent citizens appointed by the
National Education Association.
Pupils who do not win cash prizes are
not to be allowed to go unreWarded.
for those whose essays show thought
and effort will receive thrift medals.
The educators believe that through this
essay contest thousands of children
will become interested in the subject
of thrift, will become thrifty in their
habits, and thus will grow up to be
thrifty citizens.
Americans can learn lessons in thrift
from the people of other nations" de-
clares a statement issued by the Ameri-
can Society of Thrift.
