BEN
FRANKL|N'S BIRTH
Government Has Pictures of
Great American Ready
for Every Member
of the Family.

The 213th birthday of Benjamin
FRANKLIN whose picture adorns the
1919 or Franklin issue of War Savings
stamps, will receive unique recog-
milton from the country which gave
him birth and which he, in turn,
helped to make a nation, bestowing
upon it the numerous fruits of his
fireat talent.
Born in Boston on January II, two
hundred and thirteen years ago, if
teenth child in a struggling family OF
seventeen, he began lis career at the
age Of ten in his fathers trade of tai
low chandler and soap boiler. lis
satisfied, he was allowed to become
an apprentice in his brothers. print
ing office, and such was his character
that from poor printers devil he
quickly rose to an influential position
and subsequently became one of the
most Industrious figures of all times.
He not only amassed wealth, thru
wise spending, sane saving and secure
investment, but saved time to give
himself a complete education, devel-
oping his gifts to the utmost as
writer, philosopher, scientist and
statesman. He founded the Philadel-
phia Library, the American Philosoph-
ical Society and the University of
Pennsylvania; he discovered that
is discharge of electricity;
he was postmaster of Philadelphia
and later on Deputy Postmaster Gen.
eral of the British Colonies in Ameri-
ca; a signer of the Declaration of In
and Minister of Plenipo-
tentiary from the United States to
France. All this in an age when
there were no typewriters, no tele-
phones and few facilities for travel
ing.
A great part of his writings were
devoted to the happiness and other
benefits resulting from thrift, and he
took pains to make clear the distinc-
tion between miserliness and sane
saving, just as he did the difference
between leisure and laziness.
In Franklin S day the almanac was
the most popular form of literature
and for years Frank1 lin wass4the au-
thor of an almanac signed by one
Richard Saunders in which much in
formation regarding the weather,
medicine, ETC., was mingled with
much wisdom emanating from "Poor
Richard" These sayings have be-
come familiar to every American.
For instance: Time is Money.
Lost time is never found again.
What we call enough always proves
little enough He that waits upon
fortune is never sure of dinner. Look
before or you'll find yourself behind
Beware of small expenses; a small
leak will sink great ship. Learning
is to the studious and riches to tie
careful.
So, on Franklin's birthday ami
versary, the United States pays to
it's great counsellor the fine comDli-
ment of putting his teachings Into
practice. Judicious buying, wise saw
ing and safe investment are to be the
watchwords for individuals and the
nation during 1918. And that they
may not be mere words the govern
ment is issuing another series of Saw
ings Stamps, as q stimulant to saving
and an absolutely safe and profitable
investment. On each stamp appears
the picture Of Benjamin Franklin.

Children with the slightest cold should
not attend school until it is fully de-
termined that the ailment is not in
fuenza. Care should also be used in
coughing and sneezing SO that the
germs are not spread.
Leonard Johnson, who was obliged
to drop his work because of sickness
last year, has again enrolled.
In spite of the enforced vacations

Ice Skating Rink.

Arrangements have been made by a
number of town people to establish a
public ice skating rink at Silver lake
during the winter. A. j. DeNoyer
has been engaged to keep the snow re-
moved from the necessary area so that
skaters may enjoy the pastime at any
and all times. It will require little
money to do this and those using the
rink or their parents will be expected
to contribute to the cost of maintain
ing it. Ice skating is one Of the most
popular winters sports and enjoyed by
young and old and no doub5 there
will be many who will be glad to take
advantage of the opportunity presen-
ted especially if the mild weather OF
the past month continues.
