ASK Dad" That was the favorite
plan in days gone by when boys and
girls wanted ponies, bicycles. trips or
circus money. But times have chang
ed. We've had war and young Amer
leans have learned something about
thrift-the kind OF thrift that means
earning as well as saving.
Canning, poultry and pig clubs have
become institutions in most every
county. Government Thrift and Saw
ings Stamps have won their way into
the hearts of the youngsters. And -
combination solves the juvenile prob
lem of getting money for things the
young hearts desire. They're earn
ing the dollars now with pigs, poultry
eggs and tomatoes and they're putting

per cent interest, compounded.
Marie Bradfish cleared something
like $3.50 in one year on tomatoes and
poultry, according to the club records,
and won prize at the state fair. Eula
Trantham's profits from her garden

see any reason why others shouldn't
save, too.
The girls are operatives in the big
Hillside cotton mill at LaGrange, Ca.
The men re overseers and second
hands in the same mill So, to get
everybody in the mill in the habit Of
saving, they formed two teams of girls,
with the men as leaders. Then the
fun started. Rivalry In getting mem
bers in the Thrift Clubs was keen.
In three weeks they had every en-
ploye in the mill,-s00 of 'em-enroal-
cd and buying Thrift and Savings
Stamps regularly. The weekly sales
Of stamps In the mill is more than
1900 and growing every payday. )
