any adequate conception of human
life"
There are relative values in saw
ing, based both on motive and pur-
pose. The man who saves money
merely for the purpose of investing
it in an Legitimate business enter
prise, could not be called a COM
mendable practicer of thrift. The
miser is unpraiseworthy. Those who
hoard their money in secret drawers
or chests are worthy only of con-
fdemnation. These are all practi-
TONERS of misguided thrift.
On the other side, we have those
who save for various purposes.
Young men or young women who
save their modest accumulations in
order that they may acquire a COL
lege education are worthy eXponents
of true thrift. Parents who save for
their children lead ennobling lives,
as do all those among us who, with
some fixed and worthy purpose, set
aside from their small incomes as
much as circumstances will permit.
Among these are the men and
women who are saving to own a
home.
Let this movement be encouraged
everywhere in America. Let us be
known as a nation of home-owners.
Nothing will give us more substanti-
ability 1t Is thrift developed to one
of its finest possibilities.
What sweet memories the word
home brings to many of us! How
fortunate were we that had q home!
Give your children definite place
that they can call home and when
they have grown older their MEM
ories of it will, be among the hap
piest thoughts of their lives.

4 LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
ByS. w. STRAUS,
President American Society for Thrift

TN many cities of the United
States at the present time, home
owning campaigns are being
conducted. This is a commendable
aspect of thrift. In fact it embod-
les one of the most noble eXempli-
fications of this sterling virtue.
Statistics show that about one-half
of the Americans own their own
homes, so there is still large work
to be done along this line of eco
nomic endeavor.
AS 1 have many times pointed
out in these articles, thrift does not
consist merely in saving money.
Money saving is only an elemental
component of thrift. To be thrifty,
one must be a money-saver, but
learning to save money is only one
of the primary steps to be taken in
the building of a thrifty character.
There is a vast distinction between
saving merely for the sake of ac-
cumulating or saving for definite
and worthy purpose.
The day man begins saving
money for a home marks- the be-
ginning of new and finer 1ife for
him than he has ever known before.
He is saving for the most worthy
object possible. The home is the
unit of which the nation is con-
structed. 1t is the solid foundation
on which society rests. 1t is mans
finest token of civilization - it is
everything that n man might live
for or die for. In the vocabulary of
progress it has no synonym.
President Wilson tells us that "If
men do not provide by saving, for
all those dependent upon them. then
they have not opened their eyes to

Women's Rights in Philippines

Women in the Philippines, from
Filipino to Ifugao and from Kalinga
to Moro. have lot to say about the
way things are run.
My first realization of the different
status of Philippine womanhood
came on the Pacific steamer on
which 1 last returned to the United
States. A young Filipino wanted to
wrestle with some of the Japanese
on board. But his wife was with
him and she feared she would lose a
husband in the melee. She vetoed
his desire with considerable ease and
perfect effectiveness. If she had been
n Chinese, Japanese or Indian of the
same class her husband would have
wrestled as long as he wanted to,
or could, and the woman in the case
would have kept her mouth shut. In
the Philippines / have observed that
the woman holds the purse and the
gavel.-From the Christian Herald.

PROHIBITION WINS

/ Il
yesterday by a two-thirds ma
jority, and with votes to spare
Twelve Democrats voted against the
resolution and eight Republicans op-
posed 1t. Party lines were split wide
open on 1t, leading members of both
big parties casting their ballots in
favor of the resolution and others
equally as prominent voting and
speaking in the negative.
1t is said some senators opposed
to prohibition voted for the reso-
luton because they felt that. regard
less of their own views, the agitation
had reached a stage where the people
as a whole should be permitted to
exercise their rights of franchise in
its decision. They were consistent in
taking this attitude. 1t has been too
frequently the disposition of the SEN
ate to stand pat on its own views
concerning grave matters in which
public opinion registered precisely
the opposite.
Adoption by the Senate of the
"bone dry" resolution does not make
the country dry. although it is a long
step in that direction, much longer
even than the most ardent friends
of temperance had hoped for at the
hands of the present Congress. If
the liquor people oppose it in the
House, as they doubtless will, they
will show plainly that they fear the
verdict of the people. If, as they
assert, a great majority favor drink,
then there can be no better way in
which to place the stamp of popular
approval upon the liquor traffic than
by letting the people place it there
through the medium of the ballot
box.
The truth is that the booze in
terests know the day of whisky, beer
and wine is nearing it's close. They
are fighting desperately in the last
ditch. They are willing to spend mil
lions to prolong the struggle because
they can always wrest back those
millions in excessive profits from vic
tins of the rum habit.
Not one good thing can be said
list of evils that can be traced to it
is as long as the calendar of crime
and reaches far beyond the limita-
tions of the criminal courts, deep
into the welfare of society and the
happiness of families, and affects the
destiny of countless millions yet un-
born. The government that is sup
ported by it pays dearly for the
alliance. The poo-louse. the prison,
the potter's field, the insane asylum,
the orphans homes, the bankruptcy
courts and a hundred benefactions,
charities and corrective institutions
are the expense the community shoul-
ders for the comparatively small re-
turns in taxes and license fees the
liquor sellers pay for the privilege
of dispensing poison in the COM
munity.
Let the people have their way and
the sign of the saloon will be rele-
gated to curiosity shops and dime
Museum chambers of horrors.

Where would you be taking me to-

Deep among the pine woods, where

Treading up the balsam-fragrant

weeping,
All the cataracts are leaping,
White anemones are peeping

Down the wind the hawk is riding,
On the bow the jay is chiding,
And the little fawns are gliding
On the trails we used to know"

LET THEM TRAIN IN ENGLAND


.TT is now said that some, if not

no more troublesome to transport
our men to England than to France;
it will be as easy to provision them
in England as in France. This sug-
gestion is one which our government
should feel entirely free to propose
to our British allies.
They have claimed that the large

Some idea of the wide nature of the
traffic that pours through Harrisburg
every day can be gained by watch
ing freight trains. The other day a
car marked "Constitutionalistas de
Mexico" went along hitched to an
other marked Canadian Pacific"

Denver and Rio Grande, Great
Northern and Georgia Railroads. The
through traffic that passes by Har-

every twenty-four hours tells a won
derful tale.

Joe Gerards and a neighbor held q
butchering bee last Monday when they
killed two big red hogs. Joe and Geo.
arrived about noon and Joe said, "You
and George kill them and I'll cut them
up" So George and the neighbor took
the gun and the AK and set out for
the pen. "You shoot him and I'll
stick him." said George, so the neigh
Dor and pulled the trigger.
"Bang," went the gun. ..as
"Ugh" went the hog and twitched
one ear. "You never touched him."
said George. "I'll bet $500 I did," re-
piled his neighbor. "Well try it again"
said George. "Bang." This time the
hog grunted twice and shook his head.
"Give him another" said George, and
they did, not only one, but seven more,
making nine shots in all, but still the
pig wouldn't die and the shells were
all gone.
About then Joe wandered back to
see what the trouble was. "Knock
him down with the AK" he advised
and George Immediately broke the
handle out of the ak on the pigs head.
George, you jump on Bess and ride
to Kennewick as fast as you can and
get another box of Shells" ordered Joe
"and We'll herd the pig here till you
get back" But while George was gone
the neighbor and Joe managed to get
the pig over on his back and stuck him
SO when George got back the pig was
all scalded, scraped and hung up. His
head was shot as full of holes as
collander. When Joe paid the neigh
Dor for the hog he made him deduct
a pound for lead.
