Bears.

Bears vary in price. the most x
pensive being the polar bears, which
cost about $3.50. Most of the arctic
expeditions bring back polar bears,
and, Notwithstanding the heat, they
are happy and contented in captivity.
Native bears are much cheaper. One
member Of the bear family in Bronx

called because of the makeup about

THRIFT BY EDUCATION
The Plan TO Celebrate Feb. Sd rs
Thrift Day Another Step
In the New Education

The ability to make money is a fine
thing, but without the proper discern
ment that ability can be practically
wasted. AS a nation of workers, II
citizens command larger wages than
are paid in any other country, but as
a nation of savers we are far behind
many who are far less favored than We
are, and one of the hoped for influences
OF a day set apart annually for univer-
sal thought to be directed toward the
true meaning, the efficient practice and
the inestimable benefits of thrift is that
the attitude of the public mind NAV be
changed from II which welcomes ex-
trayagance and tolerates debt to that
OF a real belief in the desirability of
spending a little less than is earned.
In the meantime, while this change
is being wrought in our workers by de.
termination and effort on their part.
cannot the practice of thrift be made
natural and comparatively easy for the
coming generations through an intelli-
gent, systematic curse of instruction
10 thrift in u public schools?
1t il interesting at this point to note
that the fist step in the thrift CAM
paign %inaugurated by the American So
ciety for Thrift, which was organized
almost two years ago in Chicago at the
instance of n of the foremost edu-
Gators of that city for the purpose of
"promoting thrift by inquiry, educa-
ton and discussion" was to arouse the
interest of school children all over the
country in the subject of thrift by in
viting them to enter into a prize com.
petition on the question, "What is
Thrift ?"
The aim to educate the children of
our country to thrift is indeed one
which should receive the support of
every thinking individual, for by SO
doing We will be educating them to
habits which will produce men and
women strong In character. They will
have learned that thrift is not signifi-
cant alone of saving, but that it ne
cessitates working, planning and some
times, 70 a certain extent, self-denial.
Thrift ia constructive in its every ap-
pllcation, and In watching for waste
that might be slipping by unnoticed in
connection with some of the operations
of the individual, a care is being taken
to bring to greater perfection and use
fulness our habits and our control over
them.
1t ma urally folio rs that in the re
duction Of waste a saving takes place.
Thrift in money matters takes the con-
crete form of savings. What to do
with the increased savings that they
may be constructively and safely en-
ployed then comes up for consideration
and Undoubtedly as the result of the
fuller observation of Thrift Day, thou
sands of dollars will be added to many
savings accounts In banks, and thou
sands of new accounts will be opened
as the result of greater and more spe-
cific attention to thrift.

Work May Be Done at Any Time
During Year, but Is Best While
Trees Are Dormant.

Pruning may be done at any time
of the year." according to A. J.

Iogy. University Of Illinois. ut can
best be done, however, while the trees
are dormant. for more time is then
available. and in the absence of foliage
it is easier to tell what branches
should be removed"
First Remove all dead, diseased or
broken limbs.
SecOnd-Cut out the water sprouts.
Third = Remove those branches
which cross or interfere with each
other.
Fourth Cut back any leader
branches that may be making an over
vigorous growth. In doing 50. do not
leave straight stugs. hui cut back to a
side branch. This will Improve the
shape of the top and make spraying
and picking easier.
Fifth-DO not Overprune by cutting
out too large branches and thereby
suddenly open up the top to exposure
to the sun. This may produce sun
Scald. Instead. thin out the top uni
fOrnly by removing the smaller
branches of about One-half inch diam
eter.
Sixth-DO part of the pruning this
year. and the balance next year. espe-
ciuIly where no pruning has been done
before.
Seventh-Be careful of the fruit
spurs. These are the parts OF the
tree which bear apples. If broken of
they never can bear again.
The method Of cutting when prun-
ing apple trees Is very important. The
best advice is to cut every branch.
