oOSC IC I1lSII OOSl VI Y Living
 To reduce the high cost of living, to build up a stronger and more thought ful citizenship, to make the home of the club woman d model in efficiency these are some of the features which will result from the wide thrift campaign which will be inaugurated on Saturday. according to Mrs C. F. Eng land, state chairman of thrift in the state federation of clubs. At the in- stance of the government the feder- ated clubs of the nation are co-operat- . ing in the weeks campaign to assist in making America a thrifty nation
 Thrift was only recently created a department of work in federated clubs. said Mrs England yesterday. AS yet the outline of work is not entirely un- derstood and from the data I have re- ceived from Georgie Bacon. general federation director in thrift. l have compiled a few suggestions which I thought might be of use to the local orga nizations in planning their pro gams.
 Plan of Campaign
 Form a thrift association in the club.
 2-Devote at least five minutes. of each business session to the study of thrift and saving
 3-Arrange a family budget which has for its first item Saving and In Vestment-"
 4-Pledge each member 10 individual saving.
 5-Teach children to analize values
 6-Co-operate with school authori- ties in encouraging thrift and saving habits. Show that every drop of ink carelessly spilled. every scrap of paper wasted. has it's national and interna- tional value. that waste of material means wasting results of other peoples labor, waste of effort means wasting human life; every bit of energy saved. expenditure wisely directed, every bit of thought developed. is an added step toward the building of a strong char acter and more powerful personality.
 The thrift message is greater than finance. broader than mere money saw ing, 1t is the call of the future gen erations in people who are inclined to forget that good citizenship means pa triotism in peace as well as in war. It is the warning of a far-seeing gov ernment that we must continue to sac rifice our individual identity and self ish motives. for the sake of the greater service which We may render a nation destined to be the financial giant of the world
 What Thrift Means
 Thrift means to get the most for ones money, the most for ones time, the most for ones strength. only by increasing production and by rigid economy on the part of the people. can we help for a decrease in the burden some cost of living. The plan of this campaign is to educate the people in general, up to the value of thrift in all phases of human endeavor. that is thrift of time. energy, and effort. as well as the saving of money.
 This a part of a great campaign to make America thrifty nation. It is reconstruction. The thrift and saw ings movement is carried on under the auspices of the treasury department, but in the interest of and for the last ing benefit of the people. For this reason women's organizations are be- ing asked to use their channels to interpret the movement to their own mem bership. commit them 10 a defin- ite program of service. and stimulate themto carry it out.
 Tn these days of social and indus trial unrest the question of the hour seems to be How to meet the high cost of living?" It is discussed in all works of life. Its problems confront capitalists as well as the laborers it begins to show the red light of danger That it affects each one of us no one can deny. but do we realize that our knowledge of it's why's and herefores is exceedingly slight. We know 'Ten lessons in thrift"
