II is now proposed to set apart the week
of January 1924 Of the year 1920 as
National Thrift Week. Active propaganda
for this is being made by the Young Mems
Christian Association.
II is a realization Of the fact that Thrift
is the backbone of national prosperity.
Thrift is intelligence applied to money.
And money represents as near as any
material thing can, the fruits of life and
energy.
Money is stored up life.
Whoever wastes it, wastes life
Thrift faces three ways; il means COM
mon sense applied not only TO the Saving
but TO the Earning and the Spending Of
money.
From the ten points emphasized by the
Y. NJ. c. A. in their campaign, we may con-
struct these Ten Commandments Of Thrift :
/. Work and Earn. The first duty of
every human being is TO produce. No mat
ter what your dreams and ambitions may
be, no matter how idealistic and unselfsh
you are, you ought first of all TO do some
kind of work for which somebody is willing
to pay you money. The first law of man
is that he take himself off other peoples
backs.
2. Make "A Budget. That means an esti-
mate of what part of your income you wish
TO spend for one thing and what part for
another A budget to a worker is as
indispensable as a map TO a traveller.
3. Keep Record of Your Expenditures
Money is hard, as hard as facts and figures

BIG REPUBLICAN

The big Republican registration
of yesterday was the talk of the
town to-day in political circles. 1t
was a repetition of what occurred
on the first registration day and
indicated strongly the trend OF pub
lie opinion in this section of the
State. it being freely predicted that
the Republican vote in November
will be the largest ever cast III an
"off year." while the Democratic
outlook is correspondingly dismal.
This political forecasters say, is due
to two causes; first, dissatisfaction
with the local management of
Democratic affairs, the so-called
leaders having deserted the organi-
zation in it's distress. and secondly,
the complete satisfaction of the
men under the present Republican
administration. Not a word of critl-
cism has been heard with respect
to any of the county offices or the
officials in charge and as the county
is strongly Republican and even

EXPLORER IS
DRIFTING in ICE
LOCKED SHIP
Amundsen on Dash to North
Pole Is Believed Floating
North of Siberia

Seattle, Sept. 3.-Bound for the
North Pole, Roald Amundsen, Nor
wegian discoverer of the South
Pole, is at present drifting in his
ice locked schooner, the Maud,
somewhere north OF western Siberia,
according to beliefs held by the
Seattle Norwegian vIce-consulate
and Vilhajalmur Stefansson. Can
adian Artic explorer.
In planning the trip, the explorer
said he expected, after reaching the
pole. to return either to Grant Land,
west of Greenland or Melville Is
land, which lies in the Arctic ocean
north of Canada. Should he reach
Melville Island he probably would
journey by sea to Nome, Alaska or
overland to Dawson, Yukon terri
tory.
Two airplanes, it is believed,
formed part of the Maud's equip
ment when she left Norway last
fall and sailed through the White
Sea bound for the icy north. The
final dash to the pole may be made
in one of the planes. Amundsen, 1t
is believed, may also fly back to
civilization in one of the machines.
No Word i'm Year
Nothing has been heard from
Amundsen since September !, 1918;
At that time the Maud was reported
taking oil for her motors at DiXson
Island, a White Sea point After
taking the oil she sailed northeast
into the rapidly freezing waters OF
the Arctic Ocean.
From White Sea, Amundsen ex-
pected to drift east with the ice to
the New Siberian Islands. which, lie

Doridot, a soldier of the Great War

Made prisoner early in the war
and sent to Germany, he learned
during the winter of 1915 that his
mother was dangerously ill., He sent

camp, once the object of his journey
was accomplished. Arriving at

Postmaster Frank c. Sites, of this
city, who is treasurer of the Ma
tional Association of Postmasters;
was in charge. After the invocation
by DR.. Bagnell, Mr.. Sites delivered
his address of welcome to the visit
ing postmasters.
Mfr. Sites Address
Mr.. Sites mentioned the frequent
ly augmented duties of the postmas-
ter in these days, and said that the
last straw for him was when on his
return from Washington some weeks
ago he discovered that he had been
deputized to look after a German
alien female who had been paroled
to him; this in addition to his Gu-
ties as administrator of the alien
enemy act, collector of internal
revenue, banker for the Treasury
Department, and retail grocer! He
was not complaining about these
additional burdens, said Mr.. Sites,
but only referred to them as a part
of the many duties which the post
masters have assumed and which
every postmaster of the State had to
undertake. He particularly urged
his guests to attend inspection night
at the local post office this evening.
MI. Sites was followed by Mayor
Keister, who gave the address of
welcome for the city. The Mayor
