Fire Prevention Day Oct. 8


Long esta blished holidays and
publicly observed days may have
had in the past more general rec
osnition than Fire Prevention day.
but surely none 10 Of more import
ancs to US. It will be observed on
Thursday. Oct. 9 in Maine. The OBJ
servance last year was OF iucal-
culable value to the people OF
Maine-in removing even II only
temporarily the menace Of Ere that
lurked in too many back yards,
sheds and cellars. Clean up the rub
bish and the danger Of spontaneous
combustion and mice and matches
is made q negligible quantity.
The Maine Insurance Department
reports that following the Fire
Prevention day observance Of 1918,
less than one.third the number OF
fires were reported up to July /,

probable that the observance this
year will be followed by a like de-
crease in fires. The saving in prop
erty value and the feeling Of safety
and peace Of mind over the removal
Of that Are menace is worth more
than all the labor involved-try it.
The day Is now generally observed
the country over. Plans are already
being made for Fire Prevention day
in 1920. Go to it. Clear away the
rubbish and see that your neighbor
does the same. 1t will pay you, It

Thrift We. &


Every week is thrift week with
some people. Other people never
observe thrift week The week Of
October ell. is set apart as thrift
week for New England. in response
to the pleas of the President and
the big flnanciers Of the nation.
Primarily the purpose OF the
President is to promote the sale Of
War Savings stamps and Treasury
Savings certificates. The savings
division Of the frst federal reserve
district is to conduct a campaign
for the investment Of savings in
these government securities and for
the concerted practice Of thrift.
But thrift means much more
than buying War Savings stamps
Thrift is so spending ones money
as to get the largest return in pro-
portion to the amount expended
This does not mean that one must
be a sharp driver OF bargains or
an habitual promoter of lottery
schemes. 1t means that buying
should be governed by necessity in
stead OF by inclination: by a care
fully planned budget system of WELL
thought.oNt appropriations instead
OF by haphazard picking up of things
frcm time to time.
Reports from cities and towns
throughout New England show that
the people OF this district are
spending their incomes recklessly
and asedlessIy for Injuries. As an
example Of this extravasant spend
ing on the part OF the people a
women representative Of one OF tho
large stores in New England re-
ports orders tor $50 fur coats from
girl employees Of one insurance
company, on a one dollar per week
basis. These coats cost from $l25
to $500 each. but in this insurance
Office they were purchased by girls
earning probably SIS per week or
less. Some Of the girls will be pay.
ing on their coats for three or four
years. BY such reckless extrava-
sance as this the prices Of Injuries
are bound to soar and to some ex-
tent the prices Of necessities will
follow. To-
It is often said of wealthy people
that they are always looking after
every cent they spend. They
check up their bills and report errors
ana have them rectifled. OF course
they do. That IL the way they
grow wealthy and keep wealthy.
The newly rich are not %. They
have 40 conception OF the way to
keep money and they don't care to
keep It. There u more where the
hrst fortune came from. they say.
These are the people who are
largely responsible for the present
extraordinary demand Tor luxurtes.
They have coveted pianos. automo.
biles. taikiAs machines, fur coats.
and paradise hats. and they argue
that because they have earned the
money it may be spent for what.
ever they wish. They feel no obi.
cation TO anybody but themselves.
Thrift does not consist in SAVING
money. A million dollars stored in a
vault year after year might ~ well
not exist for all the benefit It does
to the world. But q million dollars
invested in needful enterprise that
gives employment to laboring men
and produces goods for . buying
