TO HONOR BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
United States to Celebrate 21Sth Birth
day Of Philosopher to Encour-
age National Thrift.

Washington, Jan benjamin
Franklin, whose picture adorns the
1919 issue Of the War Savings certifi-
Gates, will have on January Ibis
213th birthday-ene Of the most unique
birthday celebrations ever undertaken
in honor of a distinguished American.
1t will have the full backing of the
United States government
The event will be celebrated through
special exercises to be held in the pub
lie schools throughout the country and
by various children's organizations.
More than 10000 War Savings socie-
ties will make the day a special one.
In these and many other ways the
nation will join in paying a gigantic
tribute to Benjamin Franklin, whose
words Of wisdom on thrift and saving
are familiar in every American home.
The purpose of this birthday ceIe-
bration is to encourage the continu-
ance Of national thrift Americans, pre-
war MASTERS, became notable savers
under wars pressure. Matchmaking
this newly acquired thrift habit is the
task undertaken by the United States
treasury. Wise buying, sane saving
and sane investment are the watch
words OF the 1919 thrift program
In Franklin's day the almanac was
one Of the most popular forms of lit
erature. For years Franklin himself
was the author of an almanac bearing
the signature of Richard Saunders,
popularity known as Poor Richard"
Many of Franklin's trite sayings are
as applicable now as then.
Money can beget money, and its
offspring can beget more, and so on
said Poor Richard" in his Advice to
a Young Tradesman.''
He that waits upon fortune is
Franklin. Look before or you'll find
yourself behind Beware of small ex-
penses; a small leak will sink great
ship"
These and many other of FrankIin's
sayings will be utilized as texts in spe-
ciaI birthday anniversary events on
January II.
Officials of the United States gov
eminent point out the necessity for
continued thrift There are many
tasks. in Europe to be completed; the
army Of occupation must be main
tanned, and many hundreds Of thou
sands of American soldiers are to be
returned to their homes. The treas
ury department has therefore launched
a program of education Of the Ameri-
can people in thrift and saving. This
program will reach every line Of en-
deavor.
