 No man ever got rich on a salary alone. But the haoit of thrift can be acquired on the smallest salary and that habit has made many rich.
 If you start at twenty years of age and save S200 a year at five per cent and reinvest the interest at the same rate-at sixty-five the investment would amount to $33,- i 577.0O.
 The certainty of the fact and it's growing possibilities make such a plan of saving and investing worth more than merely thinking about
 Do not make the mistake of as- suming that thrift means "mis- erliness,' "penuriousness," or even "skimping." It does not. In it's true sense thrift means to thrive, prosper or succeed Get the full worth of your efforts by property applying whatever income you re- ceive and you will be thrifty.
 Capital is a very important ele- ment of business success, lack of it often means failure. You can create capital by saving, by systematically investing part of our income.
 Think what it means for you to have a substantial reserve fund in case of accident, sickness or any emergency.
 But, how? How can one cultivate this habit of thrift? How can this reserve fund of which you speak be accumulated? What short road is there to this end?
 There is no short road. There is sure road, long to the extrava- gant and the spender, but short to the thrifty, the conservative and the ambitious.
 If you want to know whether you are destined to be success or failure in life, you can easily find out. The text is simple and it is infaliable. Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you" James J. Hill.

Union Pacific Head
Hints at German
influence in Strike
Says Tie-Up Would Be
Worth More to Foe than
Winning Battles

Omaha. Neb.. March 1G.-PreSident L.
f. Calvin Of the Union Pacific Railroad
to-day issued the following statements:
an connection with the threat Of a
general railroad strike at this time, this
question arises: Is some power, shrewd-
er and more astute than the Brother
hood leaders, back of the plan TO pre-
cipitate transportation tie-up at this
time and establish in this country a
condition which, to the minds OF our
enemies in Europe, may seem like a re-
sSlt against our government?
" am in hearty sympathy with Elisha
Lee, chairman Of the national confer
ence committee Of the railways, when
he calls attention 70 the fact that the
serious international situation should
cause every citizen to put every thought
Of personal right or desire second TO
his duty to his country.
Strike Worse than Battles
In a letter addressed TO President
Wilson some days ago the Brotherhood
leaders gave assurance that in case Of
war they would render every possible
assistance to the government.
They have overlooked the fact that
n many ways q railroad strike in this
country would be worth more to our
enemies than the winning OF many bat
lies, for the reNon that il would para
iyze and stagnate all our resources, and
even if the strike be called Off should
war be declared the strike tie-up would
have resulted in such a congestion of
freight in the terminals and on the sid
ings that weeks and probably months
would be required TO get this conges-
ton cleaned up before the railroads
would be in normal running condition
again.
"This would mean that the movement
of troops would be seriously interfered
with and the movement Of commissary
supplies and munitions so seriously in
terrupted as to give our enemies a ire
mendous advantage.
Serious Effect on Navy
"A day or Two ago an officer Of our
navy said: a tie-up of the railroads
for even two days would be a serious
blow to the national welfare at this
critical time. We must keep the feet
fully coaled and equipped with other
supplies
Moreover, we are rushing cOnstruc-
ton work in the navy. and a two days
tie-up Of transportation Of the ma
terials urgently needed might mean "a
two months delay in the emergency
work we have undertaken.
"The strike vote taken by the men
was for a specific time and purpose, and
in the minds Of many Of the Brother
hood men, TO make use Of the strike
vote taken last summer 10 call a strike
at this time would be illegal.
"To me it seems incredible that the
rank and file Of Brotherhood members
would respond TO a strike call which
must have the universal condemnation
Of the patriotic citizens Of this coun-
try.
"It is impossible to believe that the
Brotherhood leaders. who have here
tofore shown real generalship. Will lead
those who trust in them upon such a
fools errand."

Higher prices for eggs, butter ana
potatoes in the wholesale markets re-
vealed yesterday the increasing appfe-
hension of food dealers that railroad
strike would result in serious food
shortage in the city.
Though enormous quantities OF eggs
nave reached New York in the last four
days, the wholesale prices were two
cents higher on an average tnah
Thursdays figures, and there were
many indications that they would con-
time TO mount. Butter prices IN
creased one cent a pound and Maine
and Western potatoes about one-half
cent.
Dealers said the influence OF en-
bargoes. announced by the railroads
was showing in the market. wholesalers
fearing that shipments of perishable
freight would 6e cut of altogether or

we're increasing their stocks in antic'
patton of a future shortage.

No Fear of Food Shortage
Shown by Hotel Men Here

Neither the guests nor the managers
Of New York's big hotels showed the
slightest worry over the threats OF be-
ing marooned here by the railroad tie
M or possibilities Of food shortage. No
body could be found who would admit
that Their. was anything approaching an
exodus from the city on the part OF
transients or the purchasing OF addi-
tional supplies by hotel men 10 avert
future shortage.
Representatives OF the big hotels said
that they expected to nave no diiheuity
IN feeding their guests. Moreover, they
said that they expected 70 get their
supplies through their regular channels:
1--WE do not think that the railroad
strike will make any immediate diHer,
ence in the arrival OF food here,' said
a representative of the McAlpin. Our
supply men tell us that arrangements
are being made for an uninterrupted
flow Of fresh food into the city.
Walton II. Marshall. manager OF the
Vanderbilt, suggested plan under
which the Big hotels, cooperating with
one another, might use a motor trans
mort system 20 meet interurban cleo
trie railways and such trains as con-
tinue limited service for the prompt
movement Of perishable foods.
Mr. Marshall has not worked the plan
out in detail. but said that il seemed
sufficiently feasible 20 make II certain
that the Vanderbilt. with several other
hotels, will make use Of it whether II
is generally adopted or not Under this
system. he said that the prices that
now are found upon the hotel menus
would continue no matter how serious
or long-drawn out the strike might be-
come.
At other hotels similar statements
were made. In some instances u was
said that there had been some increase
in the amount of edibles, but that there
would be no effort TO stock up with pro
visions. on the theory that the supply
would be cut or. until the situation
became much more serious than 1t was
yesterday.
In the Hobbies Of the hotels the
guests discussed the strike as a matter
of passing interest only. The frenzied
haste for reservations, such as made 1t
impossible for many travellers 10 OBJ
tain Pullman berths last summer when
the strike was threatened, was absent.
