"THRIvE BY THRIFT"

Bought little thrift stamp
Pasted on a card,

And quarters come hard"
One little thrift stamp,
Lookin lonely blue;
Bought one for comp'ny,
Then there we're two.
Two little thrift stamps
Couldn't seem to gree,
Got mother to watch EN-,
Then there were three.
Three little thrift stamps
How'll | get more?
Walked stead of riding,
We'nsday had four.
Four little thrift stamps
All in row
Started me to thinkin'-
How to make 'em grow.
Cut one cigar day,
Miss it much? Nix!
Long bout Thursday
Count was six.
Had an old razor
Lynn on shelf;
Put 1t in condition,
Gan to shave myself.
Had my old shoes mended.
Stead of buyin' new,

Started number two
Last winters overcoat
Looks mighty fine;
Cleaned, pressed and mended-
Thrift stamps, nine,
Stay at home and read, now
Stead of playin' fool;
Watch where the pennies go,
Live more by rule.
One stamp, Tea Store,
Grocer gave me two.
Even dozen Thrifties,
Week not through.

car was gone
Yesterday she passed the Natick
yards in Moline. She saw the same
box car and the flag was still flying

the ground.
If you throw the stars and
stripes in that dirt you'll be ar
rested" said Negley, and told the
section men few of the first prin-
ciples of the manner of handling
the American flag.
