K.ISER SAVER BIG SUN
But ONLY TO LOSE IT
Man Did Not Follow Principles Of
ThrIft-Sole Idea Was to Hoard

Thrlft-Sole Idea Was to Hoard
HIa Money, Spending Nothing.
A modern Midas of Chicago, who
aad accumulated 100000 by never
spending anything, recently was de-
clared incapable Of handling his at
fairs. He became incapable not be-
cause he amassed $500, 900 but because
Of the way he accumulated it. He es
tranged his family, went to bed with
the chickens to avoid spending money
ON lights and lived on $50 a year
Then he ran afoul Of the puzzling In
come tax law and now his children are
TO handle his beloved savings. This
modern Midas was not a thrifty man.
He was a miser. True thrift enhances
and increases the wealth Of the world.
boarding money benefits neither the
miser nor his fellows. Wise spending
is as essential as wise saving, and
wise investment is as important as
either; wise spending for the comforts
and pleasures Of life as well as the
necessities makes for the thriftiest
life and stimulates production Wise
investment makes possible the CTea-
ton OF new wealth.
The miser saves but spends moth
ing He secures only the meager sat
isfaction Of watching his pile of money
grow The wise exponent OF thrift
and sound investment has the com
forts and pleasures Of life and saves
IT the same time. The foolish man
spends his money for what he neither
needs nor really wants; does not at
tain the comforts and lasting pleas
ures OF life and saves nothing.
II the modern miser OF Chicago had
spent wisely he would have had years
{ comfort and happiness instead OF
ears Of squalor and want. II he had
;qved wisely he would have had the
we and respect Of his family and as
,ociates II he had invested wisely
would have been competent to han
his own affairs
Waste not-want not" is still the
0dern axiom of thrift but went not
must not be interpreted to mean not
;4nting the things that make life

the World Is Clothed" 1t is a beau
tiful stone composed of material call
ed quartz, save that 1t contains more
or less water and gives forth some Of
the most brilliant colors known. It
sometimes looks white and again may
be a pale yellow, red, green or blue.
Fire opals shine like fire, when the
light strikes them, and show almost all
the colors Of the rainbow. The
opal Is found in Mexico and Honduras,
and also In South America. 1t occurs
IN Hungary and Saxony. and there are
large opal mines In eastern Australia.
Some have also been discovered In GER
tain of our western states. About the
finest specimens, however, are from
Austria Hungary. the most beautiful
opal ever found coming from there.
This stone is of about the size of
mans hand, and 1t weighs II ounces.
1t Is now among the jewels of the
austrian crown. Opals are usually
Embedded In other stones. They have

MARKET AT

Wisconsin farmers will fatten for
market only 80 per cent as many hogs
as last year, states Joseph A. Becker
of the Wisconsin Cooperative Crop
Reporting Service in his September re-
port The uncertain market for hogs
during the past year has had much to
do with this reduction. In addition,
the spring hog crop was below normal.
l4itters averaged "a pigs per SOW as
compared with GO pigs a year ago.
Mortality of young pigs was unusually
heavy during the spring. 1t is estl-
mated that 1,SS7,000 hogs will be fat
tened for market compared to 2,097 600
last year and 1,9S7.00 in 1918.
Wool production i'll Wisconsin Is
practically the same as last year. There
was an increase of per cent in the
number of fleece or $4,000, compared
to 10000 in 1919: While the average
weight of fleece was less, or IA pounds,
compared to 7.6 pounds in 1919. Total
pro luctiOn is 100000 pounds, com
pared to 3,310,000 in 1919.

"You see, it's this way. To tell the

MANNHEIM, Germany, Sept.

| MANNHEIM, Germany, Sept. %
"The present military operations are
only very minor part of a world
wide offensive which Soviet Russia
is now setting in notion" declared
Prince Max of Baden in the course
of lengthy interview which appears
today in the Baden State Gazette.
Asked whether he saw way out of
the present dilemma for Germany,
Prince Max, according to the report,
said:
"There is only one very slender
hope; it consists in an unconditional
maintenance of our neutrality both
to the east and the west, and in one
last desperate effort to effect a re-
vision of the Versailles peace treaty"
Prince Max believes that what he
calls the German resistance to the
moral invasion of bolshevisw is bound
to crumble down # the checking pres
sure from the west is kept up.
"lt would be doin gscant justice to
Lenine's uncanny personality" he
continued, eff one were to believe that
he is capable of keeping more than a
sham peace with so-called capitalistic
states. Lenine believes with religious
fanaticism in the victorious march of
his idea: the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat or of the communistic portion
of the proletariat. He is, of course,
enough of psychologist to under
stand that a military invasion of any
country he wants to disrupt would be
the very means Of consolidating it.
His plan would rather consist in pro-
voking and fostering civil war in the
bordering states SO that, when the
time was ripe for invasion, he would
find an open door and union of
comrades"
Prince Max believes that the pros
poets of such plan succeeding in

Europe AHan1e Declares Prince
Max of Baden; Only One Way Out


Germany are not wholly unpromising,
as the "m'oral invasion" he declares
has already set in and news from
East Prussia plainly indicates that
the red propaganda among farm lab
orers there is already taking effect.
Europe today is aflame,o he con-
cludes, "and the task of extinguish-
ing the conflagration cannot be post
poned The situation demands the
restoration of President Wilson's III
points, which constituted the basis
for the treaty, but which were wholly
ignored at Versailles. @
All artificial edifices erected there
have already tumbled down or are
threatened with imminent collapse.
The fate of Poland is horrible ex-
ample. The Polish state can only be
revived if, in keeping with PPresident
Wilson's words, it comprises an un-
challengeable Polish population"
