A THRIFTY PAIR.

To this you'll all agree;
Ben Franklin was a thrifty man,
Instead of squandering what he got,
He used frugality.
His wealth increased from year Il
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 a happy life.
Some folks attribute wealth to luck,
IT'S fortunes known foundation
His luck to find a thrifty mate
Was Bens Interpretation,

ST. Brice and Football.

In November is the festival of ST.
Brice, who may be called the patron
saint of football players, not alone be-
cause his feast day comes during the
season of the gridiron game, but for
quite another reason. st. Brice's day
was long generally observed in Eng
land, and in the year 1902 the celebra
ton took the form of a general massa-
ere Of the Danes. II was on that day.
according to tradition, that the Eng
lish game of football was invented,
with the head of Dane as the ball.
st. Brice, of course, was not RESPONSE
BILE for either the massacre or the foot
ball game, having died some six cen
turtles before. He was bishop of
Tours and lived in he fifth century.

Celebrating POOR

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 the 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-
quently became one of the most illus
trious figures of all times.
He not only amassed wealth
through wise spending, sane saving
and secure investment, but saved
time to give himself complete edu'
cation, developing 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 discov
cred that lightning is discharge OF
electricity; he was Postmaster OF
Philadelphia and later on Deputy
Postmaster General of the British
Colonies in America; signer Of the
Declaration of independence and Min
lister Plenipotentiary from the United
States to France. All this when
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-.
ergy. A great part of his writings
were devoted to the happiness and
other benefits resulting from thrift
distinction between miserlinesS and
sane saving, just as he did the diff
ference between leisure and laziness
In 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,
Thine is money. Lost time is never
found again. He that waits upon
fortune is never sure of dinner.
Look before or you'll find yourself be.
hind. Beware of small expenses; a
small leak will sink great ship"
&c. on F'ranklin's birthday anniver'
sary, the United States pays to its
great counsellor the fine compliment
of putting his teachings into prac.

and safe investment are to be the
watchwords for individuals and the
nation during 1919. And that they
may not be mere words the govern.
ment is issuing another series of say.

YOUR WHISTLE? BEN FRANK.
LIN DID ONCE.

When Franklin was a child OF
seven he was given lot of pennies
one holiday. fastening into near
by toyshop he voluntarily gave all he
had for a whistle. A little later he
discovered that he had paid four
times too much for his toy. Realiz-
ing how many other things he might
have had in addition, he wept with
vexation and got no more pleasure
from the whistle. He never forgot
the incident. Afterwards, whenever
he was tempted to make too great
IAN outlay in time, or money, or
energy, he would say to himself,
Don't pay too much for the whistle"
Lots of folks are using up all their
energy on some snowy thing that
gives them no comfort. Some are
lavishing valuable time on few I'M
important tasks. Others willingly
blow in" an entire weeks salary on
one evening of frivolity, robbing
themselves of all manner of pleas
ure for an indefinite period.
Others sacrifice the best of their
talents in pursuing some fruitlesa
ambition. Still others forego the
simple, natural joys of life in wor.
shipping a snobbish ideal.
They are all paying too much for
their whistle.
How is it with you?
Are you paying too much for your
whistle? Or are there some 1919

One of the first bills introduced in
the House was to amend the primary
law. 1t was expected, but Vermont
should go slow before she drops the
primary law. 1t took some time to
learn the good points of the Aus
traIian ballot law, and there were
those who wanted to go back to the
Old way of voting. Now the voters
have learned the requirements of
the law and how it protects the indie
pendence of the voter, there are
none who want to go back. Some
slight changes will straighten out the
present primary, and we feel it
would be mistake to go back to the
old caucus, although they had the
good point Of bringing the people
together. The Burlington Free
Press wants the primary make the
voter declare his party by asking
for his party ticket when going to
vote. The Free Press says: "The
only trouble with the primary as
adopted in Vermont is that some of
our people have insisted upon treat
ing it as o general election instead
of as caucus simply for the nomi-
nation of party candidates. We in
accordance with this theory have
provided what is known as an open
caucus in this sort of a caucus or
primary republicans can help name
democratic candidates, or democrats
can nominate republican candidates,
or Independents can vote for men
on both tickets without intending to
vote in the general election for eth
er ticket" We believe the Free
Press has put up the primary law
wrong. Under our present primary
there can be no such voting. A voter
cannot vote for a candidate in one
party and another in another party,
and while the law does not make a

TOBACCO CROP
MAY NOT DAMAGE
Mr.. Kennedy's Report Says With Fa-
vorable Weather All Troubles
Will Be Cured.
(By w. B. Kennedy

The extremely wet conditions are
making it very unfavorable for pre-
pairing land for, this years planting,
still farmers are marking off their
land and planting. A great part of
what has been planted has been put
out with poor preparation of the
ground which is unfavorable, but the
plants are living and with proper cul-
tivation may make good tobacco. 1t
is hard to say what part of the crop
has been planted, but we think that
it is something like 40 percent of the
intended crop. Plants are plentiful
and in many instances are getting
overgrown, and unless we have some
favorable weather for working the
ground right soon, no doubt the acre
age will be materially cut down, and
the crop planted in bad condition but
few days of dry weather will cure
all of these troubles and enable far
mers to get their land in good con-
dition, and the crop planted by the
10th Of June.
