LEARN TO BE THRIFTY.

Thriftlessness seldom if ever. is able to seize and detain opportunity or drive advantageous bargains. We often hear of man being lucky But what men call lucl, generally is combination of foresight pluck and thrift. To save is to have and to have is power. Property speaks loudly If you have property you can accom- piSh much At least in proportion to the amount of property you control. At the same time the one with property is the one who contributes the most to the welfare of the country. The time is opportune for all to learn to be thrifty.
