BEN. FRANKLIN's PHILOSOPHY
Revolutionary Patriot Gave Advice
On Thrift That Has Sur
vived the Ages.

Listen to the message of Benja-
min Franklin. It should be a good
one. He rose from errand boy in
his fathers candle shop to be one Of
the signers of the Declaration Of In
dependence and minister plenipo-
Tertiary from the United States to
France.
Remember that time is money!
said the patriotic philosophers
"He that can earn ten shillings d
day by his labor, and sits idle one
half that day, though he spends some
sixpence during his idleness, he has
really spent or thrown away FIVE
shillings besides.
Remember, that money is of the
prolific, generating nature. Money
can beget money, and its offspring
can beget more. He that murders a
crown destroys all that it might have
produced, even scores Of pounds.
1.-THE way to wealth is as short as
the way to market. 1t depends chs
ly on two words, industry and fru-
gality; that is, waste neither time nor
money, but make the best use of
both"
Franklin's picture is on the 1919
War Savings Stamps. They give ov-
er 4 per cent. interest; Time and
money spent wisely means something
over for War Savings Stamps.

we are proud of you want to con-
graduate you"
The official notification from the
government has not reached his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. Moseley of
Lafayette, so it is not known for
just what service he was decorated.
He twas gassed slightly twice be-
tween the 9TH and 7th Of July, 1918,
and during the last days of October
was in command of some trucks
which, with his auto were blown up,
he escaping uninjured. 1t is sup
posed that the honor was given him
for conduct on one or the other of
these occasions.
Captain Moseley had an enviable
record in the army. He volunteered
at the age Of 10 at jefferson Bar
racks, Mo. October 1913, and was in
the expedition to Vera Cruz and sta
toned in Galveston during the terri
bic hurricane, and served on the Mex
lean border from April 28 to Nov.
23, 1914. He sailed for France with
the Second Division on January 8,
1913. He was then Sergeant, and
has since won his other promotions,
the last being the Captaincy of Co.
A., Q. M. C. End. Supply Train, on
the 18th of April, 1919. He has sent
home a number of valuable souven-
irs of his service in France. He is
now stationed with the Army Of Oc-
cupatiOn in Neuwied, Germany.
