Washington. Jan. 6. = BENJAMIN
Franklin, whose picture adorns the
1919 issue of the War Savings certifi-
Gates. will have on January 17-his
213th birthday-one Of the most
unique birthday celebrations ever un-
dertaken In honor Of distinguished
American. 1t will have the full back
ing of the United States government.
The event will be celebrated through
special exercises to be held in the pub
lie schools throughout the country and
by various children's organizations.
More than 10000 War Savings socie-
ties will make the day a special one.
In these and many other ways the ma
tion will join in paying . gigantic
tribute to Benjamin Franklin, whose
words OF wisdom on thrift and saving
are familiar in every American home.
The purpose of this birthday cele-
bration is to encourage the continu-
ance of national thrift. Americans.

ers under wars pressure. Nationaliz-
ing this newly acquired thrift habit
is the task undertaken by the United
States treasury. Wise buying. sane
saving and sane Investment are the
watchwords of the 1919 thrift pro-
gram.
In Franklin's day the almanac was
one of the most popular forms Of lit
erature. For years Franklin himself
was the author of an almanac bearing
the signature of Richard Saunders,
popularity known as Poor Richard"
Many of Franklin's trite sayings are
as applicable now as then.
Money can beget money. and its
offspring can beget more. and SO on" T"
said Poor Richard" in his advice to
Young Tradesman."
He that waits upon fortune is nev-
er sure of dinner" again said
Franklin. Look before or you'll find
yourself behind. Beware of small ex-
penses; a small leak will sink great
ship"
These and many other Of Franklin's
sayings will be utilized as texts in
special birthday anniversary events
on January II.
Officials of the United States gov
ernment point out the necessity for
continued thrift. There are many
tasks in Europe to be completed: the
army of occupation must be main!
tanned. and many hundreds of thou
sands OF American soldiers are to be
returned to their homes. The Treas
ury Department has therefore
launched a program of education Of
the American people in thrift and saw
ing. This program will reach every
line OF endeavor.

the winter so that some plan may be put into operation in the spring.
 The scarcity of dwellings and tene- ments continues in this city and doubtless it is retarding, the city's growth. Why there is not more build ing going on is a question. Possibly the high cost of building new houses is keeping the work from being done, but according to all reports rent com mensurate with the investment would not be hard to get. There has been considerable activity in the real es- tate market. This may denote that some property holders have become alarmed at conditions, but on the oth- CT hand it denotes that there are oth- CTS who have faith in the future of Putnam. 4 re-assessment of proper ty valuations is the best solution to bring the tax rate down.
