A THRIFTY QUARTETTE

Eleven days of February. the 18th to
the end inclusive, offer unique oppor-
tunity for special appeals to the 10y
atty, conservation and zeal,-all the
qualities inherent in the finest type of
patriotism of the American people
and also to the tenderer sentiments
which give charm to everyday living.
The mere mention of the birthdays OF
Washington and Lincoln carries an in
centiye to patriotic fervor and all of its
component characteristics. and time
honored st, Valentines Day arouses
the more delicate emotions of the hui
man heart. This is a wonderful galaxy
of occasions for the display of senti-
ment: but these are practical days,
and to omit suggestion of the now
all-important thrift would imply a de-
plorable lack of up-to-dateness.
Even in the domain OF frugality, how
ever, Washington and Lincoln serve as
conspicuous examples to posterity, for
each in his way was shining ex-
emplar of what economy of resources
may stand for. The Father Of his
| Country was one of the wealthiest men
of his time, yet in larger way there
! is no greater example of thrift than
/ that OF General Washington himself
during the war for independence, and
his thrift was of time and opportunity
as well as of money. His care of his
soldiers and conservation of his sup,
plies brought victory from what al
times seemed inevitable defeat.
Abraham Lincoln came from home
where the utmost thrift was necessary
for bare existence Thrift was in
grained in every incident of his earl,
life. He would willingly endure an,
privation for the purchase of bool
from which he could absorb the educa
ton he craved, which was thrift of tht
J best sort. Saving in itself is never S,
! wholly commendable as when it il
: practised for the purpose of maxim.
! possible the best things in life.
This year good old st. Val, patron
saint of lovers and children, seizes TIL
novel opportunity for exploitation b.
attaching to his tender missives tin
! Thrift Stamps or their more valuabl
big brothers, War Savings Stamps.
But when all is said. for an exampl
j of thrift combined with affection on
i thought reverts to the love story &
; Benjamin and Deborah Franklin.
s is true they were not born within til
/ mystic circle Of dates included in til
S eleven days mentioned. but the a
|. rival of the Father of Thrift was bl
{ q few days in advance. He saved tia
he might enjoy the real things of lif,
;. and when the infant American Repul
!. lie needed his aid, he gave not only b
;. own private fortune, won by thrift
i but almost by his personal securi,
!. alone obtained loan after loan for tt
! new government.
i In the celebration of the birthds
n festivals of the two great men who
+ all Americans revere, and the annu
. tribute to the legendary patron &
q lovers old and new, it is not unfittir
to include thought of Benjam
a Franklin and-War Savings Stamps
