we know that it should be hung
around our own neck but if we can't
find anything alive to place it on we
hang it to stone steps, mits, thumb
humping hammer or some other in
animate object.
1t may appear funny to see man
delivering stirring words to stone
steps but the humor is hushed when
we realize that the same blame-it on
sommeone-else spirit is the thing
which is making failures out of per-
sons who otherwise would be sue
cess. 1t is the thing that causes a
man to spend all his money, blam-
ing this or that because he can not
save. In most cases the reasons
given are as guiltless of the mans
lack of thrift as the stone steps
were guiltless of tripping the digni-
fled gentleman.
Thrift is the password to the Or
der of Contented Citizens. The
first step toward thrift is to practice
systematic saving. No more con-
venient and all around satisfying
method has been suggested than that
of placing as much as you possibly
can into Government securities;
Thrift stamps, Treasury Saving
stamps and Treasury Saving certifi-
Gates. Many persons all over the
country are doing this. If you have
never tried it, ask your postmaster.

PLACING THE BLAME.

A few days ago a man, just an
average every day man, walking
up the stone steps of the Minnesota
State Capital stumbled and lost his
balance and his dignity. After
grabbing his hat, which had fallen
off, he turned around, glared at the
steps and although they were clean
and dry as bone, cursed them good
and plenty The steps were not to
blame. Nobody was to blame but
the man himself. But he felt he had
to blame somebody or something
other than himself, so he vented his
anger on the innocent stone steps.
Characteristic, isn't it?
The ball player misses a catch.
Promptly he pummels his nit.
It's the mit's fault, not his.
Few, far too few of us, place the
blame where it belongs. Inwardly
