One hundred years ago. almost 10 n

Of fortune, character. intelligence and
Of almost prophetic foresight. He had
served through the War of ~Independ-

he resigned his ease and took the field
as a colonel of militia.
In his military capacity John Chan
ming the First was an intimate observer
of the lack of organization. military
spirit. training. ability TO fight. that
characterized the American forces.
What he had experienced made a
profound impression upon him. He
never ceased To plan TO protect his
country against its greatest weakness
and its greatest encmy-itself. In the
fatuous blindness Of a people who then
as today believed a sacred and just
cause the equivalent of resistless
weapon of defense, who thought they
had no need to train themselves for
war so long as they warred only for
the right, the first John Claiming fore
saw IN intrinsic, inbred weakness Of
the people, prolific Of perils which he
conceived it TO be his duty TO combat.
Some time prior TO his death. there
fore, he consulted with the first Peter
Ripley, my forebear and the founder
Of that line of legal advisers To the
Claiming family which must perish
when i perish. Between them. the
two schemed out a scheme for a fund
for national defense In time of danger
through what we have lately learned to
term 'unpreparedness." One half OF
the, even then, very considerable Chan
ming fortune was set aside to be the
nucleus Of the Claiming secret defense
fund. TO be drawn upon or expended
wholly only In gravest national emer-
gency.
The secret and the custody of the
fund was handed down from father tc

Ripleys had male children. That time
Is now passed: My boy died before at
tanning maturity you are your fathers

The fund today has grown, through
careful investment and unremitting

Of approximately $100.O00.000. The

THRIFT DAY X UNIQUE
 HOLIDAY.

The spirit of the season through which We have just passed has been largely that of spending money With !. liberal and perhaps reckless hand As a result, many individuals are now probably feeling financial strain.
 The beginning of t new year is generally accepted as a particularly appropriate time to make good reso- luiions and to formulate plans on which to base future operations. Ia looking forward to this years actlv'- ties, it is reasonable o assume that that ones obligations will be lighter: No! Experience has taught us that rather the reverse is tlue--that with each succeeding year increased de- mands are the order rf the day.
 It is not particularly fitting, there fore, following close upon the heels of the New Year, that our next na- tional holiday should be on directing thought and attention not to spending but to saving-to economy instead of prodigality-to ways and means 70 greater individual conservation as op- posed to extravaganza and waste?
 That in effect is the purpose of Thrift Day. the observance of which was inaugurated throughout the coun- try on February 8, 1916. The day Nhc tho responding date of this and each suc- ceeding year.
 To practice thrift there must be inspiration; and the inspiration whioh each of us receives depends upon our individual perspective, our Knowledge of what thrift means and correct vision of the benefits accruing to Us personally as a result of it's practice.
 Thrift in it's broader sense repre- sents simply top-notc:. efficiency. Fl it's full significance it means the re- duction of waste to minimum, the elimination of useless extravaganza and the conservation oi all resources, whether physical, mental or material.
 The demand of the age is for in creased efficiency With it, industry flourishes, advancement is assured and prosperity is certain---by it, pro gross for the individual, the com munity, the state and the nation IS measured.
 The effect of thrift while of vast importance from an economic stand point, is by no means limited to the financial welfare of the individual It's practice not only results in a con- petence in dollars and cents but de velops character through self-controi self-mastery and the elf-confidence that thrift inspires.
 It is for these reasons that tho foremost educators of the country arc so insistent in their recommends. tion that thrift be included in the school curriculum in order that th. younger generation early in life cax

 be brought to 8 realization of it's inn portance, it's effects and it's benefi s and through it's consistent practice be come better men and women and more stable citizens.
 Many people think of thrift as limited to saving. Ii is true that thrift does include saving money, but cnly in so far as saving reflects e.: ficiency in the handling of money. It applies with equal force whether efficiency be eXemplified in earnings, planning, spending or conserving in come.
 It is now recognized that the prac- tice of thrift in large measure pre- sents the logical solution of the vari- ous financial problems with which we are, each of us, confronted.
 Take, for instance, the high cost &f living. On every side We hear this question discussed because it is a matter of vital concern to practical ly every individual in the country.
 In reviewing the present situation surely it cannot reasonably be ex- pected that prices will be materially countries by reason of international affairs are forced 10 make such tre- mendous demands upon America.l markets
 Is t pct obvious, therefore, that the satisfactory solution of this prob- lem must cnsue as the result of care fully-planned action on tine part of every individual-though the sens!- hle application of thrift principles as applied to spending Goes not mean depriving oneself or ones family of those things which they are entitled to enjoy and expect? It simply irl- plies discretion in the expenditure o! money.
 The housewife who aims to keep her table expenses wisain a certain 1 limit is enabled to practice thrift through the study of h )w and what to buy. She oftentimes will be sur priscd to learn that there are many O. the less expensive cuts of meat which are far more nutritious than the expensive ones, and just as tast} There ale articles witch she uses from day to day on which a material! saving can be affected by buying them l in reasonable quantities and in sea- son.
 1 The thrifty man will recognize that 1 tbo wearing quality of a suit costing q reasonable amount more than off sets the difference in price between ! it and one of an inferior grade of goods at lower price. The thrifty woman in her wardrobe senses the foolishness of purchasing clothin5 that is extreme in it's style, for fash ions change almost a; often as the wind varies.
 These are just a few examples which indicate the many ways in which thrift can be exercised by ju st a little thought and attention directed to the spending of money. Every in-
 dividual, regardless of his circum- stances or station in fife, can profit through the consistent practice nf ! thrift.
