LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
Bv s w straus President American Society Thrift.

Bv s w Straus Society for Thrift
AT the present time, when some of the grave woro
probems are being solved and when the dawn OF happier
dav is dawning for mankind should be borne In nina
that the stability prosperity of nations and the people
that comprise them exist only with the practices OF
thrift. ~.
During the past three years there have been countess
plans suggested tried for the restoration OF the economic
balance and the establishment of social peace, put tneSe
plans have successful only in the degree to Whch ney
have been founded fundamentally the principles OF
thrift.
And better days coming because there is more
and more worldwide manifestation among men to settle
down and work and save and thereby thrive.
Whatever may be the problems confronting nation,
they are but the composite of the problems that daily al
feet the lives of the individual. They may be somewhat
more complex but they are bascally The man
who has through rough and bitter experiences VINO
has had his personal seriously impaired who finds
himself shocked and dazed after years of loss and bitter
trials settle down to systematic and care1uiy
ordered routine life.
He must recover from his losses and regain his former
prosperous condition through careful planning, hard
work and systematic saving. He can be helped only
through these simple methods of restitution.
And in a larger and broader way mankind Is today
going through just this experience.
1t is well to bear in mind that the fundamental
rules of progress govern individuals and nations rms
fact should kept in mind read the trend OF inter-
national in from day to day as well
as when plan and work out the details OF personal
affairs. -
The basis of sound economics must be thrift whether
be for the man. for the Nation for all mankind

through the woods and bushes.
''Thank ycu!' called back Uncle
| Wiggily, as he quickly hoped along the
path.
The rabbit gentleman hoppcd very
fast, looking on all sides for Susie,
and he was thinking how sad it would
be if the little rabbit girl should be
caught by the Bob Cat or the Skillery
Scallery Alligator when, all of sud
den, Uncle Wiggily felt something catch
him around one leg and throw him to
the ground.
81 m caught! It's a trap!" cried
the bunny. "The Bob Cat must have
set trap here! First he caught Susie,
and now he S caught mel
But as Uncle Wiggily looked around
he saw no Bob Cat and no trap Then,
locking at his leg that was caught, the
bunny saw it was twisted in the loor

Out popped the Bob Cat, growing
and snarling.
''Oh, Susie Come with me, quickly! -
cried Uncle Wiggily, and, taking Susie
by the paw he ran with her along the
path, ahead of the Bob Cat. There
is just one chance that we may bo
saved, SAID the bunny.
"Ilow?' asked Susie.

rabbit gentleman. 81 mean your jump

And that s just what happened.
When Uncle Wiggily and Susie reached
the tripper in the grass they jumped
over it safely. But the Bob Cat, leap
ing along behind them a moment later,
knew nothing of the tangling loop of
grapevine rope. Into it he set his paw.
"Bing! Bang!" Tripped to the
ground with heavy fall was the Bob

ear, >bunked his nose and banged one

Oh, what "a tumble!T laughed Uncle
Wiggily as he ran safely on with the

Few Suggestions About
 Contagious Diseases

Some parents are keeping their children from school, because of fear of contagious affections, and this is to inform them of true conditions in the county.
 1st. There is no diphtheria in Apache County. The case in St. Johns, after microscopical exa- imitation proved to be only Pseudo-Diphtheria. and not in- fectious.
 End. The few scarlet fever cases at St. Johns, Edgar and Cooley, are all convalescent. ard practically no danger of any further outbreak.
 Sd. Whooping Cough is quite prevalent in several districts of Apache County, and is liable to be for several weeks or possibly months.
 But this is not sufficient excuse or reason to keep children from school; in fact no one is allowed to be excluded from school for whooping cough, except, those who are actually sick with it.
 Even children in same family are not permitted to be absent from school, as the disease is coptracted from the sick ONLY.
 Further there seems to be less probability of children acquiring this in school than at home or on streets, as all are closely obsery- ed in school, for any sign of con- tagion; while at home some in- nocent but infected child might unintentionalIy give your child ren whooping cough.
 As this trouble is not, strictly quarantiDed any where in the United States, many tourists and immigrants are affected and you can never know when you will come in contact with it, and 9996 of people have it some time. So we cannot see why children should be kept out of school, be- cause of some possible chance of getting it there.
 Lets keep those who are cough ing at home (isOlated) but not deprive others of school adyan- tages.
