SAVING THE PENNIES

A modern sage remarks that when
dollars get back to the point where
each one will be worth hundred
cents, many will wish that they had
saved the dollar when it was worth
only fifty cents.
Correct you are. But the fellow who
cussed the high cost of living while
spending the fifty cent dollar in riot
Gus hilarity will be found still cussing
the same element. when he is spend
ing. fewer, of the dollars which are
worth one hundred cents.
II is not the purchasing power or
the dollar which makes men wealthy.
1t is not the existing conditions which
enables man TO lay up for the com
ing Of the inevitable rainy day. 1t
is the power of the man to save. II
is the desire OF the man to be thrifty.
1t is the self control OF the man which
enables him to be saver in place Of
a spendthrift.
OF course hard times never makes
rich men. but normal times, times
when sky-high prices and salaries are
unknown. when money madness pass
es and when the commercial life Of a
nation and a people is on a sane and
safe level. are marked as the times
when the man who has the saving
habit. the thrift habit comes into his
own.

ARDMORE COUNCIL CAMP

As the time approaches for the OPEN
ing Of Camp Turner. the summer
camp OF the Ardmore Boy Scouts. the
interest incrsases on the part OF the
boys who are to participate and the
men who are interested in making
the camp success.
The summer camp for scouts Is
the climax OF the years work. and is
really more or less of n demonstration
Of the kind OF work done during the
past twelve months. The personnel OF
the camp staff shows Just who is in
terested in boys work and to what
extent they are interested. and the
amount of equipment provided for the
comfort and convenience OF the boys
indicates whether or not the citizens
of a community care 10 do things which
are OF material help to the boys Of
their city.
Camp Turner is lust one year old
Last year the mess hall was construct
ed M n cost Of some eight hundred
dollars. This year. tents. cots. stoves.
and other necessities. have been added
To- the equipment at about an equal
sum which makes the total In tho
neighborhood OF sixteen hundred dol
lars. When the Ardmore Local Coun.
ell first decided to create "a perma.
nent camp site for the scouts Of the
city they announced that II would be
their aim TO make II the best camp
In the state. In the way Of equip
ment Camp Turner can lay claim to
the title this year without much fear
Of successful competition. and an Of
Ardmore should be proud of the camp
which Ardmore money and Ardmore
efforts has made possible. 1t is n
monument to the interest and indus
try OF the Scout Executive who has
worked so faithfully to help men To
see the possibilities in creating such

auate adult leadership. and is monu'

SECRETARY DAVIS
ADVOCATES GOLDEN
RULE IN DAILY LIFE

Winona Lake. May 22.-Tks golden
rule in daily-life is advocated by James
j. Davis, secretary of labor in a mes
sage from him read before the Presby-
terian general assembly here Saturday
Secretary Davis had been asked for an
address bearing on the possibility of
the churches riding in practical solution
of the problems of the nation. His mes
sage follows:
mo better exposition of the problem
that today faces the American people
can be found than that outlined in
President Harthng's speech of accep-
tance, delivered in Marion on July %.
This speech, which every church paper
might well reprint, suggests a solution
a task which the. churches of America
should make tiBeTr own: ! send 1t TO
you.
with a membership of nearly fifty
million, our churches today constitute
the greatest force.to for good in the world
If this force wouldAhelp in solving the
national problem of the individual it
must be more practically applied.
81 should like to> see the teachings Of
the Master accepted in the light of mod
ern conditions to both the employer and
employe. Ours must:not be church Of
pacifists, but church of fighters, fear-
lessy taking a stand. Tor the right.
With both employer and employe
sitting before the pulpit complete un-
derstandng between the two becomes
almost a church obligation. Why should
not the church help bring this about.
Why should ministers not talk to both
employer and employe with view 90
bringing about a better understanding
between them?
Many ways in which the church can
help solve industrial problems will pre-
sent themselves to our enlightened min
istry with thoughtful study of the pres
dents presentation. Now for instance.
the church might well consider the or
ganization OF a national employment bu-
reau and through its membership. as.
certain where there is demand for labor
and where the unemployed may bc
found. Let the church preach economic
and social justice, economy and thrift
And. above ALL let the church teach
the practical application OF the golden
rule, not as a millennial theory, but as
a vital principle for our daily guidance
in all the business affairs of today
Whatsoever ye would that men should
do TO you, do ye even so to them The
practical applications of the text is real
