THRIFTY BUSINESS
MAKES THRIFTY WORKER

A business is managed either
thriftily or unthriftily. Ii thrift
governs, then there will be accurate
far-seeing policy, the best use of la
Dor and materials, with intelligent
creation of money surplus to meet
emergencies. If unthrifty business
is bound for bankruptcy, and will ar
rive sooner or later through blind
competition, price cutting, depreci-
alton, or a downright money crisis.
Thrift goes far beyond the execu-
tive Office, and so does lack of thrift.
A thrifty managed business will
have steady, skillful employees, work
ing in pleasant surroundings, with
every advantage in the way of e.
quipment, and every advantage in
earning power. The unthrifty bust
ness is too familiar, It attracts
chiefly the driftwood among workers.
Unpleasant surroundings and poor e.
quipment makes work. drudgery.
Wages are below good standards, and
the year is usually marked by periods
of idleness, if not labor trouble.

The complete divircement of the
railroads from the coal business ap-
pears to be the only solution. The
railroads should have no interest of
any character in the coal mines. IN
less this enforcement is possible the
government had better hold control
Of the railroads. Every coal man
knows that it is dangerous to have
the railroads continue in the coal
business. The individual has, under
the Constitution and the laws, GER
tain inalienable rights and one of
them is the right to own anything
that ne can buy and pay for. That
IS an obstacle which is going to be
difficult to overcome and there fore
the government may have to hold
control 70 the railroads.

Let us say to you, young man, that
pluck wins more battles than luck.
Wishing is the easiest way in the
world to get. a poor living. Looking
for the fortunate star to rise is like
standing on the oceans strang wait
ing and watching for wealth-laden
ships to come over the sea that never
put out" Wishing brings small
income, and the taxes on it are enor-
nous.

3GYPSIES DAMAGED
FOR LOVELY CAUSE
Heroine Tells Dramatically
Why Men Fought.

All three gypsies were bandaged and
patched and carried their arms in sings
when they were brought into the New
Jersey avenue police court, Brooklyn,
yesterday to explain what the fight had
been about Tho room was filled with
brightly CARRIED daughters OF Romany.
gray haired crones who gesticulated
volubly and dour faced men. Joe Stew
ems told the court that George and Peter
Stephens. the other prisoners. had struck
him first and that the dispute had arisen
over the ancient lineage and honor OF
their respective clans.
There was q stir In the back of the
court room and a young gypsy woman,
carrying a curly haired baby, elbowed
her way through the crowd and rushed
dramatically forward to the bar. She
wore a brilliantly colored headdress over
her coal black hair and her dark eyee
were flashing. She was q striking and
beautiful as any gypsy heroine of any
comic opera ever written as she raised a
bespangled arm and pointed an accusing
finger at Joe.
"Peter-he 10 my man." she called out.
He quarrel with Joe because Joe make
love to me. He would not leave me
alone. Joe hit me because ! do not
smile on him-then my man, Peter, he
hit joel"
So Joe was held in 5000 bail. charged
with assault. And Peter and George
they were also held.

WILL SELL SURPLUS
GOODS GRADUALLY
Manufacturer to Get Chance
to Buy Stocks Back.

Four hundred delegates. representing
tive sessions yesterday in the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel to arrange establishments
made necessary by the end of the war.
The session Is a sequel 10 the conven-
ton of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce. held recently in Atlantic City.
Those taking part are principally the
chairmen Of war service committees.
Committees were chosen to further ma
tional legislation which would insure
proper handling Of the cancellation of
Government contracts and sound dis
tribution of surplus war materials. 1t
is planned to form permanent organi-
cation.
Joseph II. Defrees. chairman OF the
executive committee of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, presided. He
said that nearly $4,000 100000 of con-
tracts had been made by the Govern
ment through agencies. that additional
legislation was required to establish the
validity of these contracts when the time
came for adjusting their cancellation
and that the Government had enormous
stocks OF wool materials on hand which
II thrown upon the market without dis
elimination would unsettle all markets
and create trouble.
Bills looking to the solution OF these
questions have been prepared and the
committees named here will help get the
bills encated.
The conference did nothing with the
mass of resolutions inherited from the
Atlantic City meeting because of the
chairman's assurance that the main
business was to procure legislation vail
dating war contracts and providing for
the disposition of surplus stocks.

creased to eight quarts. There was a
marked falling off at the cambridge

In the Owego district there were in
dications that the Dairymen's League
