 WELCOMED HOME

NEW YORK. April 23.-F-New York today welcomed home a small of the famous 11th engineers. U. s. A., who took part in stopping the great German drive against Amiens early last spring. The well come given these men was truly royal.

Their big chance came when the Germans had succeeded in breaking thru the British lines and separating two divisions, were ad. vancing rapidly to positions from which they could outflank the British main forces.
 Responding to the call of a Britia general, these American engineers with other volunteers. dropped picks and shovels and by determined resis. tance and courageous fighting against overwhelming odds checked the Hun advance until fresh British forces could be brot up to fill the gap The returning engineers came home on the transport Santa Tcresa.

What Is Thrift?

Thrift. in its broad
sense, is handling money
wisely.
1t is getting the most
out Of every dollar of the
income.
1t is the power of max
ing ones dollars bring
more dollars after he has
earned them.
b 1t is administering ones
earnings with an eye to
the future as we'll as the
present.
1t is using ones money,
much or little, as an in
strument with which to
weave strong fibre into
the character.
True thrift does not cur
tail buying power. 1t in
creases it.
1t does not make misers.
