I'VE hope you will put on your
! calendar" writes the National Thrift
committees. National Thrift Week,
! which opens each year on Benjamin
\ one week, January IT to~23. Each
season an Increasing number of edi-
tors, columnists and cartoonists find
this a rich-source of ideas of live local
interest"
Of course, what the stylist who
writes the publicity for the National
Thrift committee intended to say was
min Franklin's birthday anniversary"
altho the use of the word ''open" in
the connection is subject to question.
But the thought we wish to project is
that it wouldn't do a bit of good to
put in on our. calendar We'd never
see it again. Old Bill Curtis. of the
Santa Fe passenger department, sends
US a calendar every year. One hangs
picts couple of Pueblo Indian bucks
doing a war dance over a campfire.
But we never can remember to tear
off the dead months. According to
that calendar, it is May. We know
as well as we know anything that it is
November. In any event, it would be
perfectly useless for US to mark any
thing on it.
However, the thought that really in
trigues is that an increasing number
of EDITORS, columnists and cartoonists
ffind this rich source of IDEAS We
greatest editor that ever lived could
write an interesting article about
Thrift week. We don't believe there
is a cartoonist or columnfst in the
world who Co. translate Thrift Week
into a jolly wallop.
We are so sure of it that we are
going to lay a series of prizes on the
proposition that it cannot be done
To the editor who succeeds in writing
an interesting and compelling article
about it we shall give yellow-throat-
ed hooking bird. To the columnist
who finds inspiration in it we shall
given a patent churn. We know
gentleman who owns the state rights
to a patent churn and we can buy one
cheaply To the cartoonist who draws
a picture symbolizing or canonizing
the idea, without first being ordered
to do so by his editor, we shall give
a fac simiie of the original of John
J. Ingalls, Opportunity
National Thrift Week. Pish tush'
We have one every evening at our
house.
She Might Be Penalized for Holding.
Sir-Seems like to me ''The Inside
Story almost stalled on the worst
part of the grade wnen Daisy Bell
slipped into "a pretty girl in musk
rat coat kissed a tall Annapolis man
in the middle of the field" How
about a penalty for mat one? Fiji
teen yards for unnecessary roughness
would be about right
If you really found Daisy Bell as
sweet and lovely asher repeated ap-
cate, here's a tip: Get her to invite
you to one of those Bryn Mawr mug
gle parties And be sure TO accept the
invitation. SMILER.
Weir as to that, we are ever re-
luctant to intrude, but Adelaide is in

We are sorry we cannot engage in
such conjecture at this time. We are

to command to speculation as to what
is going to happen in the election of
