SAKHAROFF ADVANCING

V
 "On the upper Sereth the troops of General Sakaroff, developed their suc- cess, drove off the enemy from series of fortified positions and reached the lines of the village of Sevyjen Oleuv, Bzovica and Bialkovce. Our breaking through on the river Stripa forced the enemy to abandon strongly fortified po- sitions.
 Pursuing the enemy, the gallant troops of General Scherbatchoff captured the town of Ezerna and, continuing to ad- vance to the west along the whole front, reached the upper Sereth from the vil- large of Plavucna Velska up to Plotyche where they are crossing to the western bank. To the south of Plotyche we reached the line of villages of Loboda, Zlota and Uvz and arrived before the town of Podgiacy and the little town of kholkhoche. Detachments which, in pur- suit of the enemy, crossed the River Koropice by the lower stream. captured the strongly fortified position on the heights between the Rivers Koropice Zlota, Lipa and Khorovanka and. con- tiEuing to the south, reached the Dnies- te:' and Mariampol.
 "On the Rivers Bystritza- skoi and Bystritza-Solotvina the construction Of bridges and the passage of our troops to the western banks is going on con- tinuousy. The enemy is firing from the western bank of the River Bystritza- Sclctvina at our positions and our troops, which are crossing.

of all munitions of war, and that b per cent tax be levied on manufacturers of materials which enter into such mu- nitons. The estimated loss of revenue due to the per cent reduction, will be about $5,0000O0.
 To make up for this decrease and also to make possible elimination of pro- posed stamp taxes, against which fierce storm was gathering, not only in the caucus but in the House, Senator Sim mons suggested license tax of 50 cents on each 5000 of capital stock. undivided profits and surplus of all corporations, S100, 900 of the stock of each corporation to be exempted. The proposal was seized upon by the senators present at once, and incorporated into an amendment which was unanimously approved The tax would apply to all corporations, in cluding banks, having capital and sur plus in excess of $100,000.
 LEWIS STIRS CAUCUS
 Senator Lewis stirred the caucus. which was the first to meet on Sunday within the memory of any senator. by intro ducing a resolution to postpone action on the revenue bill until the next session of Congress. and to direct an issue Of Panama canal bonds to meet expenses of the government up to that time. The Illinois senator urged that circumstances abroad might be so altered within few moments as to materially affect reve- nue requirements. No vote was taken on the resolution, which was supported by Senators Maritime. Hardwick and Un- derwood in debate and opposed by Sem ators Simmons, Hoke Smith and Walsh. Senator Lewis will ask for action on it later, but its adoption. administration leaders believe, is unlikely.
 In perfecting the income tax section, the caucus agreed to an amendment ad- iusting the increased sur-taxes on in- comes in excess of $500 900, as follows: On net income exceeding s50o.0Oo but not ex- ceeding $1,0oOO0O, a tax of 10 per cent; exceeding $1,0oo000, but not exceeding ] $1, 900, tax of il per cent; exceeding | s1. 500. 900, but not exceeding $2,0oo.o0o, 1. per cent; exceeding $2.0oo.0oO, IS per cent

Of complications are possible.
But the trust company never
dies-its life is perpetual. It
is surrounded by many legal
safeguards. It must invest the
money of your estate in certain
prescribed securities, whose val
ue is the highest known in in
vestments circles. 1t has a force
of trained men who know how
to make investments, keep books
and render proper account to
the legal authorities and bene-
fciaries.
The officials are experienced
men, whose services command
large salaries. It has the ma
chinery to do things right. The
fees for these services are US
ually the same as an individual
would be entitled to, and there
fore it's services are no more
costly than private parties would
receive with all the attending
risk.
! Men of prominence and those
who feel the Importance of safe
guarding their estate from
waste and mismanagement are
now making trust companies
the executors or trustees under
their wills, knowing full we'll
the risks of private administra-
ton and the benefits of corpo-
rate management.
A trust company can do all
that a bank can do, all that an
individual can do, and many
things neither can do, all of
which functions have played a
part in making these institutions
not only prominent in the bank
ing world but an invaluable part
of our modern civilization. They
can serve you we'll during life;
they can serve you better after
death. It would be we'll to call
on your local trust company and
ascertain how, in your station
in life, it can best serve you.

THE BROADER THRIFT.

When we speak of thrift, the
average man and woman i'm
mediately jumps to the conclu-
sion that we mean merely the
saving of money, and having
been unable to save money, con-
cludes that the practice of thrift
is an impossible achievement,
We are apt to picture the man
of thrift as a "tightWad," so
careful in money matters that
it is painful both to him and
those about him; who counts
every penny with thoughtful
care and spends it with regret,
denies himself every rightful
pleasure, wears his clothes UNI
til they are threadbare, eats the
plainest of food, and deposits
his money in the savings bank
with clocklike regularity.
But that is a narrow thrift
and it may not be thrift at all
for the miser is by no means
true example of thrift, although
he may be, a good example Of
saving. While thrift results IL
the saving of money, it is dig
ger and broader than that. The
man of thrift works hard ant
earns largely that he may spent
wisely for the things that max,
life worth living. While he ha'
an eye on the future, he doe.
not forget that we live but once
and are entitled to some of. thu
: good things of life as we g.
along. Too many people live s.
much in anticipation of the fu
ture that they miss the joys O.
the present. Too many dreat
the future and, instead of pre-
pairing for it, worry about it.
Satisfaction in life comes from
two sources: First a knowledge
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-12-13

that we have a part in the
worlds work and are playing
that part well. Second, that we
are ready for tomorrow. In the
last analysis contentment both
for today and tomorrow is mere
ly a matter of dollars and cents,
While money is not the chief
end and aim of man, it is es-
sential to the full enjoyment of
life. A certain bank clerk who
had worked in one institution
twenty years was summary
discharged, and at As found
himself out of a job, a family
to support and no money. He
literally went through hell be-
fore he found other work at far
less compensation, and all the
joys he had in spending his
money were overshadowed by
the worry, the doubt and the
adjustment process. It may
be he could not save, at least
he did not, and a few hundred
dollars in the bank now would
look like a million to him. There
are many in the same situation
to whom the loss of employment
would be a tragedy, full of grue-
some horrors.
| We mistake greatly the mean
ing of thrift if we conclude that
it means simply self-denial and
saving; for while it does involve
sacrifice, it is sacrifice for a pur-
ipose. Thrift earns for a pur-
pose and spends for purpose.
There is a thrift that is mean
and niggardly, and robs life of
much of it's comforts, and there
is a thrift that is broad and
helpful-the kind that makes
for a well-regulated life, gets
solid satisfaction day by day,
prepares for a peaceful old age
when the erning power is less
and the needs greater than to-
day.
The thrift we need is, to re-
peat, the broader thrift that
works hard, spends wisely and
saves consistently, and not the
marrow thrift that merely saves
money at whatever cost in COM
tort and convenience.
Get the thrift habit-the
broad thrift habit, now; prac-
tice it thoughtfully; waste not
the little things; find the JOY
that a growing bank account
brings; invest your savings
safely and proftably; remember
tomorrow but forget not today
spend for the things that last
and find the secret of the broad
err thrift that makes for better
living. It is the only thrift
worth while.-A. B. A.

TRUST COMPANIES.

The trust company has well
been termed ''the department
store of banking" in that it
can do for a man whatever he
needs done in a financial way,
dead or alive. 1t can accept de-
posits as a national bank or a
state bank may do. 1t can
make loans similar to other
banks. 1t receives savings &C
counts. It may buy a bond or
a share of stock for a client;
but it cannot issue bank notes.
It has broader powers than eth
er national or state banks, for
by law it is endowed with trust
powers" denied to other fnan-
cial institutions until the Fed
eral Reserve Act was passed two
years ago, enabling national
banks to also act in trust capa-
cities, but this feature has not
as yet been widely adopted by
the national banks. Trust COM
panies are under state laws,
and are examined and report at
ter the manner of state banks.
The chief distinguishing fea-
ture of the trust company is the
trust powers above mentioned

COMPANY l. WILL
SPEND WINTER AT
CAMP LLANO GRANDE
CONTINUED from first page)

to think of this time here as
winter, so long have we asso-
ciated that season with snow,
ice, billiards. and zero weather.
We seem more in the spring of
the year here. Many farmers
are now blowing their fields or
planting their crops. On our re-
cent hike we saw many fields
green and thriving with crops
of the garden sass" variety,
such as cabbage, beans, egg
plant. Trucksters have been
vending fresh lettuce and ra-
dishes throughout the camp for
some time. Can you beat it ?"
According to a war department
order, a soldier at time his regi-
ment is ordered home, may, if
he can show good reasons, be
mustered out at this place. Sew
eral men from organizations
which have gone home have
avail ed themselves of this priv
1ege and have found employment
in this district, for the balance
Of the winter.
Company Bankrupt
I want to say a word about
our company fund, justifying
my remarks by letters which
have come to officers and men
urging us at any time to make
known our wants. The fund is
bankrupted. Captain Hingeley,
as matter of fact, has already
given his personal note for $40
during the past few weeks, for
provisions which the regular
fund had heretofore supplied us.
Uncle Sam allows us ration mon
ey at the rate of 80 cents per
man, and through his commits
sary department sells us provi-
sions at cost. Though it sounds
untrue, a saving has been made
at different times over the
amount of rations we have &C
tually drawn. This saving has
been paid in actual cash with
which additional foodstuffs could
be purchased for the mess. If
however, we overdraw the ra-
ton account, the company must
pay the balance due the govern
ment. Whereas a saving here
tofore has been possible, the in
creased cost of articles, the pincf,
of which you at home are also
feeling, has now made it practic-
ally impossible to effect any saw
ings, considering that the ration
allowance has not advanced with
the general increase of prices
With our fund already over
drawn the boys of the company
last night agreed to ''kick-in'
fifty cents apiece to provide ex-
tras for a Christmas feast. Such
are the facts about the condl.
ton of our company fund.
