the age of thrift. Ii is the pc.
riod Of spendthrift. We find this
everywhere. 1t is easy to make
money, but hard to save it, and
the spender is always in the ma

The thrifty are Knocked and

agance is having its golden day.
Ii shines with the blaze of glory.
1t dazzles the eye and quickens
the pulse, but there is a day of
reckoning unheeded and un-

fall back to the example of the
simple life. We are to be re.
minded of the advantage of
thrift. 1t is high time visionary
theorists are wasting efforts on
ideals too lofty to be reached.
The reformers are waging the i'm
possible and impracticable and
demagoguers are leading the
crowds along the highway of I'M

Thrift does not mean pinchy,

ures but which do positive and
moral harm. This is the language
of Mr.. S. w. Straus, chairman of
the organization committee of the
American Society for thrift. He
adds this striking comment on
present day conditions: We are
swayed by the agitators and dem.
agogues. Strikes and hard times
will result. We yell for condi-
tion which does not demand
thrift. We want system which
will enable us to become spend.
thrifts, to satisfy every within and
follow every fashion but we will
never get il. The world and life
are not built on those lines. The
new society will find plenty of
work TO do. Thrift to the Amer
lean people means better and
higher living, nobler aspirations,
a greater sense of personal re.
sponsibility, more worshipers IN
the churches and smaller crowds
in the dance halls and vile places
of amusement.
Thrift means larger deposits in
the savings banks, greater in.
vestments in reliable securities,
fewer victims of the get. rich.
quick schemers, better homes, a
happier and more contented peo.
pie, and above all, a returning
sense Of appreciation of the man

American people by an ever kline
and indulgent Providence.
