WHAT THRIFT
WILL ACCOMPLISH.
Some Successful Men Who Began
By Saving.

Tho immortal Abraham Lincoln was
q notable exemplar of the value OF
thrift of time. We can picture him
trudging forty miles to borrow a gram /
mar. We can see him prone before
the pine fire at night after hard day
work log-cutting, reading and re-read- F,
ing the statutes OF Indiana, the only
book he owned, or learning to write
and figure with piece OF charcoal on
the back Of a wooden shovel, as he had
no paper or ink.
Another example of what boy gan
do who does not waste time is nat
of a Milwaukee man, Nels Anton Chris I
Jensen, recently appointed by the
United States government, through
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on the
inventors staff Of the new United
States Naval Board, which includes
the greatest inventive minds IN the
nation. Born in Denmark, Neis Chris
tensen's school days ended at II years,
After that he worked ii a machine
shop DAYS and attended technical
school in the evenings. From his saw
ings he betrayed the expense OF a
course at the Copenhagen Technique
Institute, from which he was graduated
at 81. Previous to that he attained ma
tional prominence as an engineer nav
ing designed, when 10 years old, the
Danish lighthouse at Hanstholme, one
Of the largest in the world During
the three years he spent on an Eng
t Tsb steamer engaged in Mediterranean
trade he learned enough English to s.
cure a position with an English manu-
/ featuring concern Since coming to
| the United States he has invented
many compressed airbrake starters
! for railroads. aeroplanes and fire en-
/ gines that have brought him world
/ wide fame.
Thomas Edison began to save before
he began to invent The successful
I magazine editor, Edward Box, started
/ saving on salary Of SO cents week,
Il Grover Cleyeland's wages for his first
! wear of work totaled $50 Garfield
I could not have become president had
he not saved early in life. Horace
Greeley and Cooper founded their ca
reers on saving.
Ex-Governor Ferris of Michigan, now
q college president, q lifelong adyo
cate of thrift, tells of his own thrifty
training: "In my youth if had q toy
| made it, and made it not to suit
myself alone but it had to suit my
father as we'll His examination o.
nv work and his insistence that
should put the best there was in me
} even into my toys put into my back {
spine and sufficient lime to last life
time
There is nothing more importan
in the life. of a boy today. than to &c
the habit of thrift. The waste Of ;
nickel is as important as the waste o
$4,000. When | was boy, if wantet
a nickel / earned it. After | hat
earned the nickel was not allowed Il
waste it. That was part of my bring
ing up"
Thrift was the keynote Of success
: in the life of the late James J. Hill
He was one Of the country's most con
sistent opponents of thrift, one of tn
greatest exemplars of what this VII
tue, combined with energy and higl
purpose, can do. He preached Away
{. that the man who cannot save none
will be a failure; that though he ma
have education, talent and ability
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1919-06-30

without thrifty habits he cannot sue,
coed.
The great railroad builder began to
save even before he had visions of
the wonderful agricultural and indus
trial empire he was to create.
From the day he arrived in st. Paul
from Canada. after working his way
there, and received for his first days
pay $1.25, he began to save. He
taught that the dollar that is worth
more than any other dollar in the
world to you is the first dollar you
save, and that the earlier that start
is made the sooner you will be able
/ to meet the great opportunity that
comes at some time TO every man.
One Of Mr. Hil's axioms was that
prosperity not based on economy and
thrift is transient, because one cannot
be extravagant today, and expect to
become safe conservator of energy
and wealth tomorrow.
He let. it be known that he did not
place a high value on the man who
could not save, for he believed that to
save means ability to deny and control
ones self; when you are master OF
yourself, you will be able to master
others, and with the money thus al
hand, you will be able to seize oppor
tunity when it comes along. One OF
his favorite sayings was: "Opportunl
ty comes sometimes disguised and sur
rounded by hard work and adverse
circumstances.

These little people are enjoying the
saving of pennies for Thrift and War
Savings Stamps as il it were an alb
sorbing game. The wee lassie has al
ready discovered that there are safer
places for money than the traditional
stocking, and business is written legl'
bly, upon the face of her brother.
Such teaching of thrift is not lost
upon children. If, as has been assert
ed, lessons in religion and morals
learned in childhood are not easily

forgotten, that is also the proper time
to instill lessons of thrift. Many a
person now mature regrets that some
method of saving similar to Thrift
and War Savings Stamps was not in
stituted during the years of their
youth, by which they might have been
saved some of the hard knocks given
by bitter experience.
Such thrift does not mean stingi-
ness, but rather wise spending, that
q margin may be reserved for future
enjoyment or possible needs.

LAUGHS ABOUND IN DOING THEIR BIT"
 AT LYRIC TONIGHT

DOUGLAS, June 25.-All those who saw the opening performance of Do ing Their Bit" yesterday at the Lyric Theatre, to be repeated for the last time tonight, felt young once more even though gray hair and lines of care are tokens of burdensome years.
 Little Jane and Katherine Lee, who have already endeared themselves to photoplaygoers, boosted their fame as child delineators by many degrees and displayed knack of character ization and sense of situation that would have done credit to many an actress of mature years. They are inimitable and always refreshing. The players surrounding them were well chosen and played up to the young sters in thoroughly convincing manner.
 Doing Their Bit" is one of the most enjoyable plays seen on the screen.

SENATOR FOR CAUTION
HUTCHINSON COUNTY SENATOR
BELIEVES CARE SHOULD BE
USED IN LANGUAGE LAWS.

Pierre.-Senator Kleinsasser, OF
Hutchinson county, regarding the
foreign language laws, made the fol.
lowing statement: ITO start with,
do not believe in perpetuating any
foreign language, as language proper.
We have come to this country by our
own volition, and ought to adopt the
English as our speaking language as
soon as We can; providing it Is not
working any hardships on any one. l
believe in our public schools and in
enforcing our laws as far as public
schools are concerned. However, II
we step i'm with our laws and dictate
to the people in what language they
shall worship, or dictate to them in
whatever language they must instruct
their children in religious beliefs, /
believe the state exceeds its right.
This Is a free country and everybody
may worship according to his own
conviction. To force this language
proposition on the people is inter.
fering with their personal rights as
far as religion is concerned. Our con-
stitution was framed to keep the
church and state separate. / believe
we are to- blame for conditions very
much ourselves. We never said or
did much concerning the language I'm.
til the war came on, when we demand
ed Mings from the people which they
could not do. Why press the people
so hard? We all see the people OF
foreign firth are coming across very
nicely. They are making changes
right along, and it is a matter OF a
short time till they will make these
changes of their own will. 1t is al.
way better to use the persuasive
method than to use the weapon"

tary Baker said:
you may be interested to know,

to notify President Menocal, of Cuba,
that the war department is very much
pleased at the invitation extended by
the president OF Cuba to General
Crowder to go to Cuba and consult
with Cuban legal authorities on the
subject OF notifications of their cleo
ton legislation and has arranged to
permit General Crowder to go. He
will leave shortly.
Il would be very glad to have you
add that the war department and the
army generally feel that this is q very
fine tribute to General Crowder,
whose services In Cuba are known to
the Cuban people and evidently have
been SO highly valued that the presi-
dent regards the call of General Crow
der as a call to a man in whom the
Cuban people have the highest con
fidence. 1t is a fine exhibition also
OF the possibility Of the cooperation
between the two republics"
In the absence OF General Crowder.
the senior officer OF his corps present
in Washington automatically would
assume the duties of Judge advocate
general, but Mr.. Baker indicated that
he had not made up his mind as to
action to be taken in that connec-
ton. Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell,
