1776 n Historic Year.

THE young giant was not as his fore
fathers. He had learned to bind and
to lose power, stored for long aeons IN
coal and oil But it was not only In his
mastery OF physical forces that he out
did the old generations. Strange, new
capacities to discover and invent
strange, new questions, strange, new
doubts were stirring in his mind. 1t IS
more than a chance coincidence that
1875 saw the publication of Adam
Smiths wealth of Nations as we'll
as of the Declaration of independence.
Remember 1862 had already seen the
publication of Rousseaus "Contrat
Social" the Bible of the French Revo-
lutionists.
"The fact that the new age-the age
of applied power and of social, moral

I am not ignorant of the part secret

NATIONAL THRIFT
WEEK ON; BANKERS
URGE Thrift T|NESS.

With interviews from several infln-
entail Salem bankers telling why thrift
lie a good thing, National Thrift week
was ushered into Salem Saturday.
The maip reason for calling this
Bank Day" is to prove conclusively
that the best way TO save is to take the
amount you intend to save from the
top Of the dollar and not from the bot
ton. II you do not have a sa'. ings ac-
count, start one now. II you do not
deposit in some bank go and start q
bank account with some bank now or
resolve to do SO just as soon as possi-
BILE. All you need to start a savings
account is one dollar and a backbone.
Here is what several Salem bankers
say about thrift:
David Eyre, q. S. National: In or
der for the people of the United States
to become thrifty they should adopt
some system of saving. By using the
banks in their home city in every pos
sible way Is one OF the first lessons in
thrift. Saving a certain percentage OF
what they earn will soon become a
habit and by comforting with their
banker before making investments will
make for absolute safety.
Joseph Albert, Capital National:
The people Of the United States must
learn to be hrifty before relief from
the high cost of living can be secured
Every man, woman and child should
learn to save in every way. More mon
ey must be saved and we must remem-
ber that time" is money and that ev-
cry minute should be devoted to useful
industry. Salem will grow much more
rapidly IL the citizens will study to be-
come thrifty.
S. B. Elliot, Salem Bank of Com
merce: People should learn to save in
small matters. Every child should
have savings account and be encour-
aged to deposit as much as possible IN
that account. A small beginning
makes for larger things later in life
and the child that starts to save early
in life will some day be the great fl
nancier.
William s. Walton, cashier Ladd &
Bush bank: Thrift in my opinion is
the greatest weapon with which to
fight the high cost of living. As sure
ly as extravaganza and useless spend
ing increases prices, thrift and saving
Will reduce them. The greatest need
OF this countrytoday is economy, which
applies to both the individual and gov
ernment.

WYATT SENTENCED
BY JUDGE BINGHAM

Jack Wyatt. e.. Of Silverton' re-
lesntly found guilty BIZ q jury In de-
nartment No. / Of circuit court on a
statutory charge was ssnteneed Sat
lurday by Judge George G. Bingham.
The sentence Is indeterminate and Is
without limitation OF time. BY pro-
vision of the state codes. Wyatts sen
tenea could be reduced by the state
narols board to one fourth OF the max
imum period, or two and half years
by a further provision, by good con-
duct. Wyatt could reduce this 70
about 20 months. Wyatt was accused
by a II year old girl.
Evidence introduced at the triai oi
wyatt showed that Viola Haines, IL
who brought charges against wyatt
had been a frequent attendant at va
rIous public dances. Here she had
met wyatt and many other young
men. who attorneys asserted were IN
terested in getting acquainted WIN

prietors of these places are interest
ed in attendance and financial re-
turns, and minors acquire deceptive
habits in misrepresenting their ages,
Much trouble has grown out OF the
attendance of minors at these places
there have been cases where boys re-
sort TO theft in order to secure funds
for attendance at some public dance
The mother Of the girl TESTIFIED
that they had continually escorted
Violet to all dances and this was sub
stantiated by Wyatt's witnesses. On
the occasion mentioned In the charge
Wyatt was alleged to have met the
girl while she was returning from a
neighbors. This evidence was intro
duced to show that trouble follows
when girls of this age are permitted
to meet older men at these places.
"a heavy bond in addition to the
present license on public dance halls
would reduce the attendance of min
ors at these places" Judge Bingham
said when saloons were in opera
