THRIFT ESSAY.

Following every war there comes a
period of reconstruction. This con-
dition prevails even in the United
States at the present time. The
course which we take now win great
ly determine the part which we will
be able to take in the future. Wash
ington said Nothing but harmony.
honesty, industry and frugality are
necessary to make US a great and
happy nation" The United States
possesses every one OF these qualities
but frugality. Now we must seek
that.
First, let US be sure that we know
what we are seeking before we be-
gin our quest. Frugality or thrift
means only good management. Sensi-
BILE management depends upon con-
sfdering the needs Of yourself. your
family and your nation, not only at
the present but also for the future.
It is not only a mans duty to save
for himself but It is his patriotic
duty. Are you patriotic? Undoubted-
" your answer will be IN the affirma-
tive. Then how do you show It! Do
you sing the Star Spangled Banner
and display silk fiags or are you
real patriot who without much dis
play works for the good OF the nation!
By saving you increase the capital OF
the nation and promote the thrift.
Saving promotes character; makes
q better citizen; increases the gen.
eral happiness.
The United States IL a wealthy ma
ton. It Is. however, a nation which
Is known by the world as an e1trava-
CANT nation. Although wages are
Hsher and opportunities are great
American people are not generally
individually classed as well-to-do with
the people Of other nations where op-
portunities are smaller. Money Is
easily earned, and as readily spent.
Government census statistics show
that si1ty-six Of every hundred per-
sons dying in this country have abso-
Iutely no estate. OF every one hun
dred persons who reach the age OF
sixty-fve there are only three wh
are not partly or wholly dependen
upon friends, relatives or charity for
food, clothing and shelter. This cor
dition is not the result OF anything
but extravaganza.
The future Of our nation depends
upon the boys and girls OF today. The
way they are taught to spend money
now is the way that they will always
spend it. 1t is impossible to succeed
unless one can live with less expendi-
lures than their income will easily
cover. Teach the children to speno
wisely and conscientiously. Washing
ton said Economy makes happy
homes and sound nations. 1nstin 1t

ESSAY ON THRIFT.

Not only did the gallantry Of our
American soldiers help win this great
European W.. but the thrift OF the
Amer:caG people paved one Of the
most important parts.
It not only kept its own massive
army going, but it has helped to feed
and clothe thousands Of starving peo
pie in other countries.
Thrift among us was first begun
when our forefathers first came tG
America, for besides liberty this was
one Of the great causes Of immigra
tion, as 1t didn't count for anything
in the countries Of bondage.
The thrift Of our forefathers helped
them gain the great war with Eng
land, and 50 gave US our liberty and
freedom.
George Washington. the founder oi
the nation, had his thriftograms foi
the nation as well as for his personal
success. Here are some: "Econc
makes happy homes and sound ma
tions. Instill it deep" Nothing br'
harmony, honesty, industry and fru
gality are necessary to make Us
great and happy nation" Now our
task has been 80 great in this gre''
war, and we have had to lend sc
much money that thrift means great
deal more now.
We are being taught more about il
than ever before.
Thrift means success and to make
a success you have to have system
with everything You spend and see
that you always have BONE Of your in
come to pu! in the bank. Let each
member Of the family DO a part OF
the work and encourage them to
be saving, allow the children fee
for their work and encourage them te
save II and you will soon see still
more Thrift Stamps sold; they VIII
grow to be War Savings Stamps.
Just becuse the war is over doesn't
mean that we have to stop conserving
our food, but we must raise all that
is possible, can all the surplus, use
all perishable stuff and save the I'M
perishable.
To be economical doesn't mean moi
to have wholesome pleasure, nutri.
tious food and proper clothing; we
must see that our income is enough
to more than cover our expenses and
have enough for rainy days.
We Americans are naturally ex-
travagant people. but our women are
learning each day to be more saving,
and are doing their house work and
all their other work IN a more busi'
ness like way.

so make the whole nation a thrifty
