WASHINGTON is not much given to looking back
w ward particularly when it can look forward to
Easter and the "little season."
Spring perhaps the loveest time Of the year in the
Capital, and the gayest and certainly the most en-
joyable. There are of course, few big formal func-
tions and official dinners become fewer and farther
between. But small parties flourish, dinners and
dances; the country clubs into their own, and
ones thoughts begin to turn toward riding motoring
swimming parties, picnics and kindred outof-door
activities.

SOME TIMELY WORDS
IN REGARD TO THRIFT

The situation of the unemploy-
ed in our country today should
prove lesson in thrift, says the
Memphis News Scimitar.
Not many months ago many men
and women were receiving higher
wages than had ever been paid in
the history of our country. Peo-
pie were spending recklessly, and
some made no effort to lay by for
the days of adversity.
Now those days Of adversely have
come to many. Thousands are out
of employment and some are suffer-
ing, whereas if they had saved,
they would be better prepared to
meet this crisis and be means of
getting employment elsewhere.
Saving as thrift is personal pre-
pardness. Those who neglect TO
practice it may some day come to
want.
1t is just as necessary for the in
dividual to save in order. to be safe
guarded in case of war.
No person is too rich or prosper
GUS to be above the need of saving.
What progress has been made to-
day by the business men of the
world is due to their thrift.
Life is made up of sunshine and
rain, of success aud failure and un-
less We save for rainy day, ours
will be a failure.

HOLDING CONFERENCES
is A GOVERNMENT FAD

Washington, d. O., February l.
The very latest National politi-
cal fad is the holding of confer
ences. The conference is now the
most popular of all indoor sports,
and life at the capital of the Nation
is one conferences after another.
When Senator Borah, the big
outstanding, outspoken Senator
from Idaho, introduced his resolu.
ton for Disarmament Confer
ence, he Dtarted something. One
conference now treads upon the
heels of another, and this is only
the beginning.
Something is wrong! The ad-
ministration is Sup a stump" and
doesn't know what to do; let's call
a conference; let's assemble the
"best minds" have a warm hand
shake, have our pictures taken with
our genial Chief Executive in the
center, palaver and pow WOW for a
few days, and then "all aboard for
Gods country" which means home
to the average man.
Then what happens? Nothing
whatever. Oh, yes, there are the
resolutions which have been pas
sed. Resolutions are mostly like
good intentions-they make good
paving material in q warm climate
And so it came to pass that after
the unemployment conference was
over and the unemployment ques
ton settled and everybody had a
job and was back to work except
the exservice men who tramp
around here, some of them in rags.

White House receptions, more
group photographs, more palavers,
etc. etc. Oh yes, and more resolu-
tions Great stuff Back to nor

THE SEED CATALOGUE
A REMINDER OF SPRING

Great deeds of gardening are
performed in midwinter,. around
the freside in the evening, while
folks study the inspiring pages of
the seed catalogues. The brightly
oolored pictures of fruits and veg
etables incite the ambition of some
people who later on are dauuted by
the weeds and perspiration of June
aud July.
The garden habit should be en-
oouraged, and the seed catalogues
do good missionary work if they in
duce some folks to cast aside their
lethargy and plan for q garden or
q little backyard farm this spring.
Men and women were made to
live closer to the soil than modern
life provides. Those who get out
with hoe and rake and spade and
trowel get many sided reward.
They are inspired by the good
cheer of the bright spring days,
the melody Of the song birds of
May and June, the cheerful associ-
alton with the insect life and the
endeavor to excel your neighber in
producing early vegetables.
The cash value of a we'll tended
garden should not be shifted at.
Our grandfathers and our grand
mothers laid the foundation of
American prosperity on thrifty
habits like raising vegetables and
living at home. They would never
have gotten anywhere If they could
have telephoned to the store after
food supplies on credit according
to the modern manner.
The folks who are studying the
seed catalogues should remember,
when they place their orders, that
the stores of Camden have ample
stocks of garden supplies from
responsible seed houses. In addi-
sion they can give practical advice
as to the varieties and methods of
cultivation that work best under
local conditions.
