THRIFT is PATRIOTISM

Germany forced France to pay ar
indemnity of a billion dollars after
the Franco-Prussian war.
The French people in every walk
of life practiced thrift. Every wash.
erwoman, every newsboy, every truck
gardener and digger and ditcher, as
well as her moneyed men, great and
small, rushed to the buying Of govern
ment bonds.
Result: In two years, not only IA
but her people had formed the habit
of thrift. This so fortified her that
in the war just ended Germany broke
her heart, her bank and her manhood
France.
Because Of her thrift preparation,
France was able to check and hold
the onslaught until the forces of free
dom elsewhere rallied to crush Ger
many and make the world a proper
place for free peoples to live.
Isn't this lesson one we of America
should take to our hearts today?
Our government must finish the job
so magnifcently carried I o its present
stage.
To make this possible, the individ-
uals who form that government must
economize, spend wisely, save and buy
United States securities.
BY doing this only can we insure
our own happiness and Americas fu-
ture prosperity.
We should practice thrift now for
two major reasons:
First: To furnish the money our
government must have to pay its OBJ
ligations-to finish the job.
Second: To accumulate the capital
that from now on must be found in
America to finance Americas great
development projects.
After all, and in view of what we
escaped, is our government requiring
very much when it asks every Amer
lean citizen to practice thrift, to in
vest in War Savings Stamps and Lib
erty bonds and to prove that he is a
peace as well as a war time patriot a?
Not much.
AS it was in France in 1871. so in
America today, thrift is patriotism.

THE CROW'S-NEST

About eyer so often a wave of juv-
emile crime sweeps over the country
and people seem shocked that such a
condition of affairs has been allowed
to grow up apparently unnoticed, un
til parents and communities are sur
prised and scandalized at the revela-
tons that are brought about in police
courts. After every tear up of this
kind people are strict with the young
folks for d while, then become lax
again with the usual result, another
wave OF crime. The fundamental
cause of all such outbreaks, is the
habits OF extravaganza that are in
dulged in, in fact ENCOURAGED by lib
eralt allowances for Injuries. the taste
for which naturally outrun the means
for procuring them and they. or the

If they win there they will be in the
