Because answered the other man,
Il look out for the pennies"
He worked so hard for his money
he said that he could not bear to
waste a cent of it. The saving of
even the penny made him feel a free
man-that if anything happened to
him he would neither have to beg
nor go to charity institution.
, Careful saving or thrift is one of
the best habits to form. Perhaps the
best because so many other good
habits and good traits follow in its
train. Once acquired it becomes
permanent trait. 1t gives such a
feeling of security and independence.

One often hears it said that the day
of opportunity for the poor man getting
start is past. AS evidence to the con
trary we cite you to the case of w. A.
shelton, formerly of Oklahoma. Mr..
shelton had worked in town ON II salary
Tor years, and with large family he
found at the end of the month there was
no surplus to lay by for rainy day.
The call of Oregon appealed to him. He
disposed Of his personal property and
with his wife and six small children
started for the state of opportunity,
landing in Salem year ago last May
with only $35. He at once bought l5-
acre tract Of stump and timber land on
the installment plan, Before leaving Sa'
lem the $35 was invested in tools and
provisions. The family lived in tent
until Mr.. Shelton cut down trees and
built q log house. Homemade furniture
was hued out of the trees. There was
enough open ground among the stumps
TO raise all the vegetables they needed
the first season. They earned enough
money picking berries and prunes tc
carry them through the winter In the
winter Mr.. shelton cut cord wood and
cleared land. From the land he cleared
he has sold $l35 worth of beans and has
several bushels left. They have alsC
raised several hundred bushels of pota
toes, a wagon load of squash; all kinds
of garden truck for winter use, beside,
enough rough feed to winter n horse ant

he saves the pennies he will not get
ahead. One hundred cents makes a
dollar. One dollar at 6 per cent COM
pounded for fifty years makes $1S.42.
We, as nation, are money
makers, but not money savers. We
must begin to save now. The thrifty
worker is usually the efficient, re.
lar worker. The thrifty man has
every chance in the world. His em-
ployer keeps him. Other employers
desire him-the steady, thoughtful,
wide-awake, industrious man, who
thinks SO much of his own future that
he thinks also of the future of his
firm. He is the man whose interests
are one with those of his ''housc."
Thrift is always wholesome.
Waste is always unnecessary and de-
moralizing. Prudence and modcra-
ton safeguard all individual and
nation.
The Danes are a wonderfulI-
thrifty people and some of then
methods are as original as they are
worthy of imitation. The Danist'
farmers tether their cattle in rows,
in such way that they can cat but,
a certain section of grass in a day.
Next day they are moved forward
in the meadows and it is worked OUT
IN such minute basis that by the;
time the cows have reached the end.
OF the pasture the grass is again
ready for grazing at the place where,
they began.
The Danes understand the con-
servation of their resources, and, like
all thrifty peoples, have learn4A
through system how to save. ~

Baker and Representative Charles
Childs of Brownsville, the holdover
members of a committee of five ap-
pointed by the last legislature to in
vestigate all of the state educational
institutions in Oregon, were visitors
at the Normal school on Monday and
Tuesday. They investigated the f.
nancial status of the institution, WIS.,
tied the various departments, looked
into the condition of the dormitory
life, the features of the training
school, ETC., and were speakers at the
chapel exercises on Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Childs, in his address, gave
the students, as prospective teachers,
some good counsel on the subject of
applications to school boards and
teachers contracts, and showed that
the teachers themselves can do much
to improve the service by their CO.
operation. Senator Strayer spoke in
happy and felicitous fashion to the
students, representing himself as an
ex-Normal school student, and as an
ex-teacher, and therefore in a posi-
ton to sympathize with them fully
in their hopes, as well as their diff
culties. Both speakers received very
cordial response at the hands Of the
faculty and student body.
