A THRIFTY PAIR.

Ben Franklin was a thrifty man,
To this you'll all agree;
Instead of squandering what he got,
He used frugality.
His wealth increased from year to
year,
He won fame and position,
But not alone did he succeed
In gaining his ambition.
To smooth the way, to help along
There stood his saving wife,
And twas this partnership OF thrift
Gave them happy life.
Some folks attribute wealth to luck,
'Tis fortunes known foundation
His luck to find a thrifty mate
Was Ben's Interpretation

When Franklin was child OF

had for a whistle. A little later he
discovered that he had paid four
times too much for his toy. Realiz-

from the whistle. He never forgot
the incident. Afterwards, whenever
he was tempted to make too great

CELEBRATING POOR
RICHARDS" BIRTHDAY
Government Has Pictures Ready for
Every Member in the Family.
Benjamin Franklin Gave Us Gifts
We Shall Never Cease Using.

BENJAMIN Franklin. whose picture
adorns the 1919 or Franklin issue OF
War Savings Stamps, receives unique
recognition from the country which
! gave him birth and which he, in turn
helped to make nation.
Born in Boston on January II, two
hundred and thirteen years ago, he
began his career at TIE age of ten in
his fathers trade OF tallow chandler
and soap boiler. Dissatisfied, he
later became an apprentice in his
brothers. printing Office. and such was
his character that he quickly rose to
an influential position and subse-
uuently b came one OF the most illus
tifous figures Of all times.
He not only. amassed wealth
through wise spending, sane saving
and secure Investment. but saved
time to give himself a complete edu-
cation develop ms his gifts to the ut
most as a writer philosopher, scien-
fist and statesman. He founded the
Philadelphia library, the American
Philosophical Society and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania; he Giscoy-
cred that lightning is a discharge of
electricity: he was Postmaster of
Philadelphia and later on Deputy
Postmaster General of the British
Colonies IN America: a signer of the
Declaration of Independence and Min
lister Pleni potentiary from the United
States TO France. All this wte-
there were no typewriters, no tele
phones and few facilities for travel
ing
Franklin always ascribed his
achievements to careful saving and
spending OF money, of time, of en-
erey. 4 great part of his writings
were devoted TO the happiness and
ether benefits resulting from thrift,
and he took pains to make clear the
distinction between miserIiness and
sane saving, just as he did the diff
ference between leisure and laziness.
Ia Franklin's day the almanac was
the most popular form of literature,
and for many years Franklin was the
author Of an almanac signed by one
Richard Saunders. in which informa
ton regarding the weather, etc. was
mingled with wisdom emanating from
Poor Richard" These sayings are
familiar to every American
For instance. Poor Richard" said
Time is money. Lost time is never
found again. He that waits upon
fortune is never sure of a dinner.
Look before or you'll find yourself be
hind Beware Of small expenses: a
small leak win sink a great ship"
So, on Franklin's birthday anniver-
sary, the United States pays to its
great counsellor the fine compliment
of putting his teachings into prac-
uce. Judicious buying, wise saving
and safe investment are to be the
watohwords for individuals and the
nation during 1919 And that they
may not be mere words the govern
ment is issuing another series of Saw
ings Stamps, as a stimulant to saving
and an absolutely safe and profitable
investment On each stamp appears
the picture of Benjamin Franklin.

SIXTEEN FLYING FIELDS
TO BE RETAINED IN U. S.
Material Will Be Stored at All but
Two of These, and Flying
Will Be Taught There

Washington, March 13.-Sixteen fly
ing fields and three balloon fields are
to be maintained permanently by the
war department, acting Secretary
Crowell said yesterday. The fields
have not yet been definitely decided
upon but the secretary SAID TWO would
be near Newport News. three on the
Pacific coast, one near New York,
three in Texas, two in Florida, one
in Mississippi, one on the Great Lakes
and one each in Georgia and Okla
homa.
Actual instruction in flying, how
ever, will be conducted at only two
fields, as previously announced. The
others will be held in reserve.
Secretary Crowell said department
experts do not believe the training
will deteriorate if carefully
stored, even after a period of years,
nor do they believe any decided i'm
provement will be made in these
types which would necessitate their
being discarded.

PRESIDENT WILSON AGAIN
WELCOMED BY FRENCHM
Premier CIemencesu and President
Poincare Among NotabIes Who
Give Him Glad Hand

Paris, March 15.-On President vii

party was met at the station by Presi

Clemeneeau, Foreign Minister Pichon

military governor of Paris; Major Gen
eral Mordacq, head of the military
cabinet of the ministry of war; Secre-
tary Lansing, Gen. Tasker H. Bliss,

President Poincare gave President
Wilson cordial greeting. With Pre-
mier Clemenceau the American execu-
tive spoke for some time, congratulate
ing the French statesman on his es-
cape from death in the recent attempt
to assassinate him.
President Wilson appeared to be
in excellent health and spirits.
The president did not tarry on the
station platform. He let his hand
linger longer in that of M. Clemenceau
than anyone else and spoke earnestly
to the premier as they strolled down
the platform. After he had congratu-
lated NJ. Clemenceau on his escape
from death by the assassin's bullets,
the premier turned and smilingly said:
my hide is too thick for little
piece of lead to do me any barn.
Emerging from the station, Presi-
dent Wilson Immediately entered his
motor car which drove at high speed
along the left bank of the Seine, cross
ing the river on the Alma bridge. Ar
irving in the Place des Etas Unis, the
streets were virtually deserted, a fact
sharply in contrast with the presidents
appearance in Paris just three months
ago.

CLEMENCEAU'S ASSAILANT
is CONDEMNED TO DEATH
Anarchist Coffin Makes Statement
Saying He Is Opposed to All
Constituted Authority

Paris, March 1s.-Emile Coffin, the
anarchist, who recently made an at
tempt upon the life of Premier Georges
Clemenceau, was yesterday sentenced
to death by the courtmartial which
was trying him. The verdict of the
courtmartial was unanimous.
After Captain Mornet, the prosecu-
tor, had asked for the death penalty
on the ground that the crime had been
premeditated and no mitigating cir
cumstances shown, Coffin rose and
made a most amazing statement. He
said he was a militant anarchist, an
anti-militarist, an anti-patriot and
against all constituted authority.
Il would have shot the kaiser with
more relish than M. Clemenceau, be-
cause he, too, represented authority"
he continued. Il have no country;
my country is the world"
He made a long, rambling state
ment, saying that he had gloried in
the deed he had done and that he
favored bolshevism and spartacanism
and he wished to strike down all who
were in authority
When he concluded Oscar Bloch
made plea that Coffin was irrespon-
sible, asking that the court should not
pronounce the death penalty.
