TOWN COMFORTS
" ON THE FARM

It is general knowledge how the
motor car abounds among the gram
ger states of the west. II 1t is not SO
common on the wilc prairie ~ In the
Fifth avenue canyon between and

cause It has more room by millions

But the western farmers modern
convenlencess are not confined to the
automobiles, the tractor, the talking
machine and the lightning rod. Dee
partment of agriculture reports show
that every other farm in Michigan
and Oregon has a telephone. In Mn
nesota, Ohio and Missouri 81 per cent

proportion in Indiana is as high at
64.4 per cent; in Illinois 73.2, in Ne

S6.1 per cent Of all the farms in the
state.
Perhaps even more astonishing 10
how gas and electric light have been
carried to farms from the seaboard,
and even from the traditional water
power regions. If Vermont can boast

New York. Dec. 17.-Friends OF DR..
Abraham G1ickstein, Brooklyn phys

Lillian, Raizen week ago have or
EaniEed the Glickstein Memorial as

q fight to protect his reputation. In

The movement was started soon aft
er Mrs. Raszen's confession to District
Attorney Lewis was made public in
which she gave as the reason for kill
ing the physician that he had ruined
her life and on her wedding eve had
attempted to attack her.
The plan Of the association. it was
said, is to refute those accusations and
contend that the woman was infatu-
Ated with the physician.

During the war, many times we were
asked to save clothing, pennies, food
and everything that our soldiers could
be fed and clothed and thes great
world be at peace.
The war is ended but thousands are
dying to-day because they have no
food; so let us continue to save, not
only for ourselves, but that we can
help others who so badly need our
aid.
If we as children could save dime
a week, and not buy so much candy
and gum, and go to so many picture
shows, when we are grown we could
have nice bank account of more than
$100, and that money invested we'll
would bring us much happiness.
A man should put few dollars in
the bank each week, then if there
comes time of sickness or he is
out of work, the money saved could
be used at time of need, and he
would not have to worry about his
salary.
Another way man can be thrifty
is to carry insurance, for month by
month he will not miss the small
amounts and in the end it may be a
great benefit. II
Y A man can always buy house pay

giving it to the landlord, will be saw

1t has been said that the American
people are a race of spendthrifts.
However that may be, it is certain
that few of us know the meaning Of
thrift in its true sense. Thrift is
neither wasting nor hording, but liv-
ing within your means.
4 The saving of money should be done
wisely and Systematically. Every
person should have "a bank account
and should deposit a certain sum oi
money each week, or each month
The little sacrifices, the saving oi
nickels and dimes, the weekly trips
to the savings bank, all become q
source Of pleasure in time. 1t il
amazing how quickly a deposit will
grow if added to regularly.
If the hundreds Of people who arr
now out Of work had saved some o
their money when they were, making
good wages they would be living com
fortably now. But they though
they would always have work an,
that saving moneD was unnecessary.
| A savings account saves, in time Q
war and in times of peace. 1t ha
saved many a man and many famil
from deep distress.
To work, to plan, to manage wei
and, not least in irnportance-to say
this is thrift.

If farmer raises wheat in the
same field every year, until there is
no nourishment left in the soil, is he
thrifty? mol Is the young man
earning two hundred dollars month,
saving nothing, thrifty? Mol But
little does he think how handy few
thousaid might be when he is old,
disabled and cannot work. If all
citizens conducted their financial af-
fairs in such shiftless manner,what
an awful calamity our country would
soon be in. There would be no
money for the Improvement of the
community, or schools.
Knowing these many facts about
thrift, why not start bank account,
and begin bossing our dollars at once?
