The Greater Thrift

Is America thrifty nation? This is your his
tory the history of the average American citizen.
gathered from statistics by S. w. Straus for the
Journal of the National Education Association:
Take 100 Americans at the age of twenty five.
By the time they thrty-fve. have died, 10 have
become independent, 10 are in good circumstances,
40 have moderate resources and IS have no more
than they had ten years before.
By the time they are forty five years old IL more
die; all but OF the 60 who had anything at all have
lost it; 3 have become wealthy 60 self-support-
ing, with other resources; Is have ceased to be
self-supporting.
At ffty-fve years of age, more have died, |
more has become wealthy; are in good circum
stances, but who was wealthy at the age of forty
five has lost his fortune.
At sixty five years of age SO of the original have
died. 80 of whom left estates; 2 of the who
rich have lost their fortunes
At the age of seventy-fve, "a of the remain
ing of the original 100 dependent upon their
children, relatives, or society, and are wealthy.
And what of the wives left by men who have
died? Court records show that out of 100 who
die, leave of $4,000; Is leave estates of
from $4,000 to $4,000; 80 leave no income produc-
ing estates at ALL Thus, out of every 100 widows,
Is left in comfort AZ are obliged to work. 80 are
in absolute want.
No, America is not thrifty nation. Therefore
Mr.. Straus advocates that, along with political
omy, personal economy be taught in the schools.
By personal economics he does not how to
save, but how to spend. This is what he calls the
greater thrift If you make $500 year and
spend $500, you thrifty. If you make $4,000
and spend s5O00 you thrifty. But if you make
$4,000 and spend only $500, you not thrifty.
You miser The difference between thrift and
greater thrift is the difference between saving
ey and spending it wisely. You may money,
but if you injure your health by dissipation, by
working eighteen hours day, you are not thrifty.
Money saving is but link in the chain of
thrift The greater thrift is liberal thrift. 1t is the
art of living"-Every Week.

How Lincoln Got Along With Stanton

If Lincoln had been up for reelection last
November he would doubtless have spent Tuesday
evening reading Irwin Cobb. When he, with some
of his Cabinet officers, awaiting returns in the
telegraph office the night of November 8, 1864,
he reading aloud from the illusions of Petroleum
V. Nasty. Stanton, his stern Secretary of War; was
indignant with the President for filling his mind
with such trifes when the destiny of the country
hung in the balance but Lincoln had method in
his foolishness. IF 1t not for this occasional
vent" he said Il should die''
The contrast between the pleasant. genial
President and his naughty, severe Secretary is
described by David Homer Bates in Lincoln in the
Telegraph Office the Century Company. Stanton
brusque and rude to reporters; Lincoln, on the
other hand, obging that he sometimes gave
out advance information that leaked through to the
enemy.
Once cotton speculator called on Lincoln.
begging him to overrue order of Stanton's.
Lincoln refused to do So but finally gave his caller
who prominent man, card introducing him
to Stanton In "a short time the speculator was
back at the White House, cursng the Secretary.
Mr.. PRESIDENT he said. what do you think
Stanton did with your card?'
l don't know" said Lincoln Tell me-
He tore it up and threw it into the waste
basket He is not fit man to be our Secretary of
War;
Did he do that? replied Lincoln, well.
that's just like Stanton
But, although the great War Secretary was not
blessed with the delight in fun that brought Lincoln
relief from the awful strain he had his of
softened kindness, and was even known to forget
the burdens of war in game of humble the peg.

Cold and Hot Zones Below.

The question is often asked: Are there cold and

1t has been shown that heat generated by oxidza

the increase in temperature with depth is not regu

ground to the time that the hole in the ground is

Never was there much snow seen piled up in
our Silent Ctys yard Huge mounds of it are drifted

Cork Tree

The cork tree is species Of oak In Spain the
outer bark is harvested from the tree once every
nine or ten years. The best cork comes from trees
that are fifty to hundred years DID, Instead of

impetus to the growth Of new coat. The yield of
tree varies from fifty pounds to five hundred What
Is known as the cork bark elm'' in some sections
is also called the witch ELM in parts of Can

boughs and trunk. Although somewhat similar in
appearance to the cork, it has not the slightest value
for its bark.-Ex.

Chautauqua Quarterly Meeting

To an attendance that very gratifying to
inmates and management the Second Quarterly
Meeting of the Pieran Circle held in our
Auditorium last Sunday. The program provided
for the occasion of an educational nature and
literally Interpreted with recitatiOns, songs and
musical selections appropriate thereto, and, be-
ing encouraged by the presence of large and in
terested audience, among which administrative
officials and prominent citizens of Saltwater were
in evidence the active Circle members on the pro-
gram conducted one of it's best Chautauquas the
Circle had ever arranged.
In few we'll chosen words, the President of
the Circle announced the opening of the meeting
to the expectant and interested visitors, whose
hearty applause given to every number on the bill
was not only sincere but highly complimentary
Among the inmate speakers Mr.. L. L. and
Mr.. j. H. The former read paper Mental Phe-
nomena,' in which he defined the dual nature of
mans mind. dwelling particularly upon the effect
the objective and subjective factors have upon the
thought, actions, and progress of mankind. Mr.. L.
is deserving of commentator for the thought given
his subject for the logical construction of his argu
ment and for his excellent delivery, while Mr. J.
H., in his paper: THE Evolution of the Working
man." presented a subject that held attention and
interest until the closing word was spoken.
Among the elocutional and POLITICALLY inclined
members, Mr.. j. R. F., read original poem, which
gave evidence of the authors ability rhymster,
Judge of human nature, and weaver of sentimental
pictures set to tuneful words
The inmates members who entertained with
songs were Mr. II. NJ, Mr. j. M. and Mr.. G. G. D.
The applause greeting each of these in their turn
and their responses thereto testified to the
of their efforts soloists.
Special mention deserves to be made of
original composition, by Mr. IL. B., of march en-
titled: Luton" The orchestra, under the direction
of Mr. Reichktzer, splendidly supported the theme
of the composition by sympathetic and able insru-
entail playing.

Berlin admitted %reverses yesterday
to both the British and French on the
west front. To the British the Ger
mans lost a narrow sector west
of DIVERT wood, while the French in
a terrific three hour attack on the Yer
dun front, on the three-mile front be-
tween Avocourt wood and the region
west Of Dead Mans hill, penetrated
the Teuton lines, retaking ground they
had recently lost to the Teutons.
After having tried ineffectively to
overcome French gains in the Verdun
sector between the eastern edge OF the
A~vocourt wood and Hill 304, the Ger
mans are now contenting themselves
with throwing shells into the positions
which they were forced to evacuate
Likewise, along the Chemin des
Danes the violent infantry activity OF
the early week has ceased and artillery
duels instead are taking place.
The British and Germans continue
their violent artillery duels in northern
Belgium and the former are keeping up

Gus sectors. One of the most uccess
full of these enterprises was carried out
