Little Rock, Jan. 1.-Promotion for effecient public service is strong plank in the platform of Tom J. Ter ral, candidate for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state. This is the first time he has aspired to an office at the hands of the peo- pie. Born 35 years ago in humble
 log-cabin, he has achieved success in life by his earnest devotion to duty. He has been honored by hav- ing been twice elected secretary of the Arkansas state senate, in 1913 and 1915, and the members of the senate whom he served are among the strongest friends who are work
 ing for his nomination. In every po- sition of trust to which he has been called he has been loyal and faithful. He was educated in the schools of Arkansas, and graduated from the Arkansas Law school in 1910. While residing in Little Rock for several years, he still considers Union coCn- ty his home It was there he grew to manhood, and it was there that he was the strong right arm of his fathers family, who were of moder- ate means, assisting two sisters and five brothers in securing an educa- tion

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Those opposed to municipal owner slip of public utilities charge that privately conducted enterprises are always conducted better than public concerns.
 X Those favoring municipal owner ELip assert positively that municipal control insures maximum service at minimum cost and that; such public enterprises can be conducted as good az, private enterprises.
 z Between the two contentious there lis plenty of room, for argument" {. The facts probably sare that either system is good if--note this momen- tous little 1.-the management is good.
 Municipal ownership conducted by spsfiticals for political spoil are ir- respective of expense, cannot be good. ssa Private ownership conducted on tn, Irinciple of ''the public be damned and irrespective of public rights, fair rate, service and dealing with the sEublic, cannot be termed good,
 Every concern is entitled to fair return upon it's bona f'de investm ent, alAd if. it gets no more than that and give good service and is responsive to the public needs, it probably can rot be improved upon by pulic owner ship.
 Private ownership always figures interest on the money invested pub lie ownership never does. There is no pessible s23comparison of relative cost possiblb where there is a diver,,- ,nce on this basic principle of financ i1g. <.
 For instance, nobody knows the ac- tnal investment of the United States rostal department from the time 1t vas ystarted; no interest is ever fig rred; against the government. But yqu can rest assured that the Stand ard sOil officials. know pretty we'll tha exteLnt of their investment and are setting: a fair interest on it in aaddi.- ton 10 earned profits.

much money will 1 save this year?"
 Take an inventory of your twelve months of lost opportunities-tlose of you who have saved little or noth- ing. Have yoI placed to your cred it one item of thrift, representing some act of self-denial that might form the cornerstone of individual independence?
 Every wage earning person ought to resolve today to save something regularly, each day, or each week, no matter how little. Though it be only twenty-five cents week, save it. Get into the habit of saving sys- tematically. The feeling of satisfac- tion one has after year of thrift is worth the self-denial. Make this resolution today and you will be sur prised at the joyful satisfaction it will mean to you when, one year from today, you take inventory of yourself.
 Thrift is the surest and strongest foundation of an empire" says Lord Roseberry; "so sure, so strong, so necessary, that no nation can long exist that disregards it."
 As with nations so with individ- uals. The man who starts with a small capital but who is saving and industrious reaps the reward of his industry. A man living on a small

LITTLE TALKS ON, N,IHKlFl,
By S. w. STRAUS PrsJident American Society for 7hrf

farm in Ohio began with a capital ot $8. One day going around the coun-, try in his broken-down wagon, he bought an old blow for fifty. centsj which he repaired and sold for $3. This gave him an idea. Why not go among the farmers and buy the dls7 carded farm machinery that is left to rust in the fields and yards? By saving the money made in this way hel was soon able to invest i'll a hur! dred dollars worth of second hand farm machinery, which he repaired and sold. The year following he bought thousand dollars worth, then three thousand, and now Joe Steuer is rated at $40,000. He att tributes his success to his punctu-. ality in keeping appointments and in paying his debts when due. He de- nied himself all unnecessary things and saved his money. so that he could enlarge his business. ..
 It is a gratifying fact that the study of thrift is taking prominent place in the practical training of students in many of our large url7 versailles and colleges. They are en4 couraged to practice self-denial in the expenditure of money, to prac1 tice economy and do some remu1 nerative work toward defraying thd expense of their education. Amherst college reports that 17o men worked their way through, whole or iii part, last year. Their earnings ranged from $1O to $1,O00, the latter figure being reached by student i'll sales, raansl1ip. These 17o students didsev.f cry kind of work that was honorable to earn this money- They have not only learned how to work, how to save, how to appreciate and prize their education, but they will enter the business world, not as novices, but as trained men, and their experi- ence will be of incalculable value to others in showing the way to real independence through work and fru- gality.
