Talks on Thrift
Junk


The waste in every household is
considerable. Part is unavoidable
waste. Altogether too much food
goes into the garbage can. Clothes
are not taken care of, are not press
ed or mended, or hung up when not
in use and so become shabby long be-
fore their usefulness is ended. Shoes
that with little mending would go
many mile are thrown out, and
throughout the house there is waste.
The attic bears testimony to this fact
Waste that is waste should not be
boarded, but turned into profit. Old
rubbers, rags, iron, can be turned into
that has served its day may be sold
to second hand dealers glad to get
such articles.
The conservation of household
waste affords a living for thousands
of people. The junk man is usually a
leading citizen, we'll housed and we'll
fixed. The privilege Of trimming"
the scows that take the waste of New
York to sea is forth millions annually
1t makes millionaires. And the waste
that finds its way to the garbage scow
is what breaks some families.
A certain school teacher has the
right idea. Every spring she asks
the children to bring to the school the
worn out rubbers of the winter, and
from the proceeds she buys pictures
for the walls and photograph records
for the dances. At times these con-
tributions amount to over half ton.
Waste becomes profitable as you get
it together And when so gathered
it should be used for a good purpose
as a standing object lesson that
waste conserved is profit earned"
Here is a junk story from the far
east: A Jananese rag man of excellent
speech and manner has been making a
canvass offering to buy all the old
junk offered. Instead of paying cash
he gives a coupon good at a certain
bank, where it must be left untouched
for certain number of years.
Upon investigation the ragman
turned out to be a former superintend-
ent of Yokohama police and manager
of large dock corporation, inter-
ested in teaching his people the proper
use Of junk.
Junk money is apt to be regarded
is easy money" and spent foolishly.
While it is easy money, it should be
conserved to usefulness and not vast
ed. The school teacher uses one meth
cd, the Japanese junk man another,
but both tending in the right direc-
ton. We can teach our children no
better lesson than to avoid waste to
so use the junk that it will prove
lasting benefit. Save your junk and
save the money your junk turns in.

Under the above heading The Bank
ing World publishes an article relat-
ing to the financial reward received
by one of the most popular film stars.
The following excerpts are OF special
interest:
Along late in February everybody
in the United States and most of Eu-
rope who was interested in the grand
old American dollar was set agog by
the announcement that Charles Spen-
Ger Chaplin, otherwise known as
"Charlie" Chaplin, had signed con-
tract to work for one year for a salary
of $670,000. Various reports that Mr..
Chaplin was being paid in sotck or
that he was, in addition to his salary
being allowed to participate in the
profits of the venture, are untrue;
100000 is all Mr.. Chaplin gets for
his years work, but he does get that.
1t will be of passing interest to the
readers of the The Banking World to
know that Mr.. Chaplin is rather a
careful investor, with a particular
liking for safe A per cents and trust
worthy 5s in municipal and industrial
issues. Just as a matter of being
patriot, he has bought something
more than 100000 worth Of Anglo
French bonds.

Trap for Automobiles

Mecosta.-There is fine trap Tor
motorists in the little town OF Mecos-
ia. Upon entering the village signs
are posted "15 miles per hour" but
the village has passed on ordinance
making the maximum speed 10 miles
per hour. Recently two Big Rapids
residents were picked up for exceed
ing the 10-mile speed limit and fined
S12.15 each. The village authorities
were given a piece of the autoists'
mind but there seemed nothing left
for them to do but to pay, which they
did. Beware of Mecosta!

Small Cyclone Strikes Farm

st. Johns-Although st. Johns has
been unfortunately missed by any
rain that has struck the surrounding
country the last few weeks, last
Thursday, however, there was quite
a windstorm struck the city and near
by farms, doing some damage.
The silo on the farm owned by
Walter Burlingame was blown down
and almost completely destroyed.
Some men were on the farm assisting
in moving the barn when the silo was
blown down and it was all they could
do, using heavy timbers, to keep the
barn from going over.
At this time some rain fell in near
ly every direction from st. Johns, but
only few half-hearted sprinkles
were felt in the city.

Doc Evans stuff in The Chicago Tri-

C. r. d. writes: "Will you kindly
reprint the proportion of SIENNA leaves

constipation remedy suggested by one

Reply.
Five cents worth of SIENNA leaves
to one-fourth pound each figs, dates,
prunes and citron.
This will give William Allen White
another chance to take rap at fruit
