THRIsr.
BY MISS ycoNDlNE GAINES

Thrift means wise management
OF one S affairs, and using economy
in the management.
Ii all who are lazy were thrifty,
what a country we would have
Without thrift no man has ever
achieved success, nor has any ma
tion become great. What would
Rockefeller be il he were not
thrifty3 We are told that in these
terrible days of war. notwithstand-
ing the strain, many Germans are
saving little. for the days of sun
shine when the war is over.
Thrift has been the bed rock of
every successful career ana the
corner. stone of every fortune,
Even Vanderbilt was a believer
in thrift. When sixteen years old
he was taking passengers from
Staten Island to New York by way
of the ferry-Eoat. The fare was
not large. but he saved enough in
two years to buy two boats of his
own.
All the world knows thrift and
most of the world heeds its warn
ing. If all who do not would heed
it, we would not have so many
poverty. stricken people, for the
poor can have it as we'll as the rich.
AS we now are, it has been esti-
mated by statisticians that seven
ty-five per cent of all the people
who live to be sixty-five years old
are dependent upon charitable in
stitutions.
Thrift's power is limitless, its
application boundless. We waste
too much. 1t takes space as
large as Mississippi, louisiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky put to-
gether to raise feed for the horses
of the United States, when with
forty thousand tractors we could
do away with four hundred thon-
sand horses.
Thrift is of greater value than
pearls, rubies and diamonds. Once
you have it no man can take it
away.
Thrift lifts it's possessor to high
er planes of living, increases his
power, and brings to re-
alizaton the hopes of his life.
This is why Corn Clubs for boys,
and Tomato Clubs for girls, are
helpful. They teach them thrift.
and at the same time furnish them
with money TO spend as they like.
Thrift makes man we'll dress
ed, well housed and we'll fed. 1t
insures Absolutely against rainy
day. 1t drives doubt, want and
care away. and guarantees those
who possess it prosperity and sue
cess. We should be more econom-
ical, for economy is the better half
of thrift. Americans are the most
wasteful people on earth; ten per
cent of our food being wasted by
housekeepers. If every person I'M
the United States who uses match
&c wo,Jd save one match per day,
the saving would amount to one
million dollars year.
Thrift has exalted those of low
degree. and those of high degree
have found it a helpful friend.
To obtain it you need invest no
capital, but personal effort instead,
and all you put into it will guar
antee dividends that last through
life and after.
1t is as free as air.
1t is yours if you will take it.
1T is THRIFT.

ed, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. In
such instances the land only need
be thoroughly disked to secure a
suitable seed bed. Late varieties
as the Mammoth may be planted
as late as June 18th up to the Goth
and mature good yields of seed.
Early varieties, such as Ito San,
Medium Yellow Mikado, and Mon
gol, may be planted in the Cotton
Belt as late as July Is and still
mature the crop for seed.
The yellow seeded varieties are
preferred, especially adapted by
food manufacturers. The Mann
moth Yellow is especially adapted
to the Sout hern States for seed
production. Considerable quartz
ties of seed of this variety are still
available for planting.
The soy bean already has reach
ed a place Of high economice impor-
lance in America and Europe as a
foodstuff. The seed Of the soy
bean, unlike that OF the cowpea,
rarely is attacked by the weevil or
other grain insects. Even where
the oil is extracted the resultant
meal is very desirable food. Dur
ing the present season the demand
for seed by food manufacturers has
resulted in great y increased prices.
In view of the large demand, pro,

is very improbable and this sea-

LIGHT SPUD CROP
Kaw Valley Growers Reduce
Acreage More Than Half.
High Price of Seed Potatoes Is
the Cause of 1t.

The high price of seed potatoes will
limit this years crop more than half
in the big potato growing district of
the Kaw valley, and the result will be
the reach of the poor again next win
ter unless something is done at once
to relieve the situation, according to
local spud authorities who have been
in close touch with the planters.
The planting this spring in the Kaw
valley will not exceed 80 per cent of
the acreage in normal years. The
city of Topeka is doing everything
possible to help the people by sup
plying seed to the poor and Kansas
City is becoming aroused by the situa
ton. Considering the problem from
the standpoint of one of community
interest, some believed. investors
might be willing to take their returns
must be done at once, it was pointed
out, because the crop must be plant
ed soon.
Grower Tells of Conditions.
II have talked to kaw valley grow
ers from Kansas City to Topeka and
am convinced the planting this spring
is being reduced 20 per cent because
of the price of seed potatoes" one
grower declared MANY of the big
potato men have decided to cut out
the crop entirely this year and plant
their land in corn. Others are reduc-
ing their acreage SO to 25 per cent
Short crops will tend to keep prices
up indefinitely"
J. G. Groves, negro, one of the
big growers of the valley. ordinarily
plants two hundred to three hundred
acres in potatoes on his farm near
EdWardSVille, Kan
Il bought seed enough last fall for
one hundred acres and am planting
that amount" Groves said today THE
remainder of my land I am going to
put in other crops, because 1 cannot
afford to take the risk of paying 1915
bushel, wholesale, for seed potatoes.

last year for S1.15 a bushel"

WILL STAY NEUTRAL
Fear U. S. Entry IL War Will Affect
South American Finances.

Buenos Aires, March 23.-South
America is apprehensive that entrance
of the United States into the war may
seriously affect its finances From
high sources in Argentina today the
belief was expressed that such a step
by the United States-now regarded
as certain-would result in concen-
tration of American money into war
measures and result in a curtailment
of foreign loans, except to the allies
fighting against Germany.
In any event officials closely in
touch with Latin-American sentiment
declared all other American nations
would remain neutral, no matter what
course was adopted by the United
States. The Argentine press today was
without comment on the extra session
call in the United States and the war
like preparations started there.
Henceforth Argentina's foreign pol
icy will be under direction of Fer
nando Saguier. His acceptance of the
portfolio was announced today. Per-
sorally Saguier is pro-ally, but it is
generally understood in Argentine cir
cles that he will be merely 4 rubber

SEES END OF BOXING
Tex Richard Says Game Is Sure to Go

New York, March 23.-Tex Richard,
veteran promoter of boxing contests,
today told the press the end of box
ing in New York state is so near he
can almost feel it. Even if Governor
Whitman, in the opinion of Richard,
should suddenly relent in his avowed
intention of crushing the game in
this state, the spora has been given
such a black eye that it never would
recover.
This, of course, indicates beyond a
shadow of doubt that Richard, Stager
of sensational matches, no longer is
to be considered as actor in NOV
ing for big bouts in this city or state
Richard pointed out the unfavor-
able publicity the game has received
of late and added that no one could
expect the high class and large
crowds of old to attend contests here
