THE STAR OF THRIFT.
(Roswell. n. Mex. News.)


The world had forgotten how to
be poor. 1t was ashamed to prac-
tice thrift. Wealth had been in
creasing prodigiOusly without saw
ing. The advent of machinery and
the increased efficiency on the part
of men had been creating wealth
faster than it could be consumed
The homely virtue of thrift had dis
migrated Nobody had 10 save.
When capital was required, it was
created. not by saving or by cutting
out waste, but by creating more Of
it. The farmer did not cultivate his
land better but more of it. The
individual who aspired to better liv-
ing did not economic, but worked
harder. The miser had become but
fiction.
A generation or two ago every
body carried a purse. 1t was lot
of bother TO spend a nickel But
the old wallet has disappeared and
now we have a change pocket" and
wear it out by frequent Journeys
thither. We have been a race Of
MASTERS. and have justified our waste
by our power TO earn.
Then came the war. Everybody
was so rich that the world thought
it could fight on stored capital. Why
save a few hundred millions to pay
for a war that cost billions? 1t would
be a brief struggle at best. Why
not pay for it on borrowed money?
only recently has it dawned on the
people OF Europe that they have
stopped creating new capital, been
destroying .he old in suicidal
amounts and only close economy and
thrifty living on the part of all can
save the world from bankruptcy.
The governments first borrowed
all they could; but realizing that
they would soon exhaust their boz
rowing powers, turned their atten-
ton to taxation and To thrift. This
process has been SOLDERING and heroic
and measures are now being taken
everywhere in Europe to meet the
rising cost OF war by thrift plans.
These methods involve sacrifice.
huge taxes. and a willingness 10 do
without. and involve far-reaching
economic changes.
Having adjusted itself TO thriftless
conditions. the world cannot sud
denly depart on a new thrift idea
without doing considerable damage.
For instance, if everybody should
stop going TO the movies it would
save a lot Of money. but disrupt and
bankrupt thousands Of firms and cut
down the income Of other thousands
relying on this industry. We could
do without many things. but the
sacrifice would be costly 10 someone.
With no surplus income, as a people.
the millions Of Europe cannot begin
to save without destroying more than
they save They cannot, strictly
speaking. save at all. They can only
stop spending except for necessities
and spend for war; but that Is mere
" a conversation OF wealth. Ger
many has been adopting extreme
consumption OF Injuries. Great
Britain has a thrift campaign on.
and all unnecessary imports will be

curtailed. But habits are not changed
in a day and the efforts of spend
thrift nations to be thrifty are pa
thetic.
In contrast with the plight Of
Europe, the United States is the only
lending nation on earth now having
surplus capital. 1t is the only coun-
try that can really save - whose
thrift is not forced. Not only be-
cause of our unique position, but be-
cause if cultivated now, thrift will
make US the biggest moneyed factor
in the world. Thrift was never fash
iOnable. but ought to be always.
EurOpe's loss must be our gain, and
our gain will be lasting only as we
make the habit lasting. Europe must
learn how to be poor again, while
we must learn how to be rich. But
we cannot afford to be too rich, los
ing our heads for riches while Eur
ope's poverty pays the bill. Every
dollar you have now helps along in
the good work. Americas star OF
thrift is nearing its zenith.

And calling for the mercy or the

He sits as master Of the toasts with

And doesn't reap his brilliance from

Wherefore our faces wear a look ex-

When We discern his name upon the

Although his yoth was suitably and
