Thrift Week.

IL WAS a Minnesota farmer whose wife wanted
a new house when he wanted new barn. my
dear" he said, "the barn will build you your
house; but the house will never build my barn"
Thrift does not mean merely saving money
No one put in the bank what he puts in
his stomach. Or, as Poor Richard" put it: "a
tat kitchen makes lean will" But neither does
a too lean kitchen make a fat will. Thrift is
not stinginess either to oneself to others.
In truth men grow richer in the giving when
the gift is of themselves, of the heart of service
OF their ability, OF the spirit, and it is even
strangely true that are seldom poorer in
purse through material gifts There is a peculiar
reaction which in way brings back to the
wisely generous what he gives, with interest
The wit who said: Cast your bread upon
the waters and it shall come back to you cold
chicken" not altogether perpetrating merely
Joke There is fundamental of truth in his
quip. What is given in the right spirit to the
others need, does often than not come back
nLg greater abundance.
.0f all the single words in economies thrift
s-the most inclusive. it saving, but not
stihgmess. 1t means economy but not deprivation
1t means saving for use, Or again, Poor Richard
said, THE of money is all the advantage there
is in having money"
Investment is much a part of thift as is
saving. The who saves and then invests in
Wildcats IN get-rch-qulck, in TanbowS is as
thriftIess the proAigate The thrifty must learn
not alone to save, but to be content with safe
investments that modest returns.
The who is in debt may be far thrftier
than the one who owes nothing and has idle
money in bank in a safety vault The farmers
barn would not only build house, but it would
pay a mortgage.
There is indignity in patches nor in old
clothes. Thrift in short is doing without, that
you or someone else may have. For the one who
holds that he alone must be the sole chief
beneficiary OF his own denial, is far from thrifty
He is heart miser, a waster OF what is most
valuable in any life.
Thrift is after all, more of an attitude of
mind than of material fact. The one who has least
of this worlds goods may be the richest in the
rewards he reaps. The man who has the genius
for making money is poorer in purse for Civ
ing, not the fixed tithe but as the occasion de-
mands.
Thrift, too, is handmaiden of enough, or if
you will, enough is handmadcn of thrift. Some
have no such word as enough" in their lifes
vocabulary and they always stngy, no matter
how much of a veneer OF benevoence they may
So it is that this Thrift Week" brings to pub
lie consideration the biggest little word in all
the range OF economics. The one man in American
history who is credited as most fully living its
philosophy is Benjamin Franklin bank puts
wreath with flowers at the base of his statue
here in Washington.
1t would be we'll if every American should
this week read the simple story of his simple
life. He was not only the embodiment of thrift
but because of that was the simplest character
Of all that generation of greatness.

TENNESSEE INDIAN
RUINS DESCRIBED.

Ancient Indian villages that have
laid covered by the earth mold OF
untold centuries in Tennessee were
described and illustrated by william
E. Mysr, of Nashville, at the meet
ing of the Anthropological Society
Yesterday at the New National
Museum. How just last September
his pick and shovel found a large
fortified town in an unplowed wood
land of Davidson County, Tensessee'
was told. 1t was deserted village,
left with buildings standing Mr.
Myer has found the ruins of pail
sades with circular towers that sur
rounded the town, and the remains
of the sacred ceremonial temple,
with altar still containing ashes of
the holy perpetual fire, were dis
covered. The towns center was a
level public square" which was the
scene of sacred rites and dances.
Prisoners were tortured to a hor-
rible death here" said Mr.. Myer, "or
by striking the fancy of some sor-
rowing woman captive was adopted
into the tribe to replace some
deceased warrior of the squaw'
family. He then received the same
love, honor and respect formerly
given his predecessor, and he was
honor bound to be true to his
adoption" -.
Another old Indian town>in Will
iamson County, containing several
mounds surrounding q level plaza,
was described. Broken pottery and
other utensils were found on the
wigwam floors where they had been
thrown by an invading enemy tribe
that had captured the town, prob
ably killed it's Inhabitants and then
burned the temple chiefs house and
other buildings. Years later an
other tribe settled on the ruins of
the first village and in turn left
their graves and other remains.

years among the hardy folk of that
cold county.
There is great distress IN Labra-

Grenfell. There is an abundance of
raw material, but until means are
devised for marketing it. the people
of Labrador cannot hope for any al
deviation of their condition"

1T IS NOT A JOY RIDE

Many people under the impression that the trip Of
Columbus business men up the Warrior River this week is
joy-riding expedition
This is an erroneous impression As matter Of fact to
make the trip will be distinct business sacrifice to many.
Men are leaving their business affairs to promote the
welfare of the community and urherance of the new
spirit Of progressiveness Of Columbus.
We sorey in need of letting the outside world know
something Of the progressive and aggressive spirit of
Columbus As we all know the impression too much pre-
walls outside of Columbus that this city is quiet unprO-
gressive, self-righteous and contented community.
We are just the opposite But the world doesn't know
it, Let's let other cities and communities and peoples
know about this Columbus spirit 1t will be of meal
culable benefit to us.
This is just the purpose of the Warrior trip. 1t win
bring great deal of valuable publicity to Columbus, and
will help wonderfully counterfeit the impress
sions about our city.
No, is is not junketing, joy-rde trip 1t is serious
minded undertaking and that will rebound to the
lasting benefit of Columbus.
