A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Gradually the span of life in the
United States is lengthening, and
among the interesting possibilities
of the future is the question of how
far these processes will go. But
this is problem that only the future
can decide. Medical science,
hygiene, right living and right
thinking are combining to give
constantly greater expectancy to
ones term of life, and it may be
said that this prolongation of the
period between birth and death con-
stitutes the finest possible example
of thrift.
The longer we live the more we
can accomplish for ourselves and for
others; the more deeply we can
delve into the springs of wisdom and
experience; the more useful we can
grow as guides and teachers for
others.
In the last 1870 years there has
been an increase, according to the
most reliable statistics, of % years
in the average length of life in this
country. In 1889, statistics COM
piled in Massachusetts, revealed the
average span of life as 35.5 years;
in 1855 it was 40 years and there
has been since a gradual increase.
In 1910 it had risen throughout the
nation to 81 years; in 1921, when
the latest available figures were
compiled, it had been extended to 5S
years.
What this increase has meant in
human accomplishment is beyond
calculation.
Much is said about this being the
golden age of youth, and all such
statements are true, for, with our
efficiently organized business life,
our educational advantages and our
broad modern vision, opportunities
for the young man We're never so
splendid.
But, as result of these same
fundamental conditions, the so
called old man of a generation or so
is but the matured youth of today.
Back of all these changes is the
restless spirit of progress. They
express the human impulse both to
live longer and to live more usefully.
We pass this way but once. 1t is
well that we not only make the most
of our time but that we add to our
period OF usefulness and service the
greatest possible number of years,
To do so is one of the most exalted
of true thrift

TRANQUILITY OF HONOLULU DISTURBED BY SKY BULLET

HONOLULU, Mar. 10.-Honolulu is comparatively safe place in which to live and the Pacific at the fl nous Waikiki Beach is sharkless jelly-fishless and otherwise safe and pleasant for bathing. To relieve the monotony, however, there are occa- sional perils brought to light. Two of these-a sky bullet and ferocious fish-were revealed in freak acci dents here lately.
 Daniel Nahole, a 17-year-old Ha waiian boy, was taking nap ir the thick grass, meath the shade of cocoanut palm in his back yarf one afternoon recently. He was sud denly Awakened by a stabbing pair in his right leg, between the anl'' and the knee Upon investigation he found a bullet hole in the front of his leg No one was in the vicinity and the position of the wound ind cated that the bullet had come from above Police authorities believe that the bullet was fired in the air from some distance away, and when t came down struck Nahole in the leg.
 The victim of the other peculiar accident was a Filipino, Bedal So magang. He had day off recently and decided to celebrate it by fie' ing in the harbor. He fished for some time without any luck, when hc suddenly felt a strong tug on his line. He pulled in his line anf found a fair sized fish on the hook. In removing the hook Somagang stuck his finger in the fish's mouth. Before he was able to release the hook the finny fighter closed it's jaw, biting the Filipino's finger Somagang suffered a severe lacera- tion on the ring finger of his right hand, but he kept the fish.

CAMPFIRE IS NEW CLUB FOR
 LOCAL GIRLS
Chapter Is Started ir National Order
 by Leaders

Starting with a membership of seven the "Eyak Camp Fire Girls" were organized this week under the guardianship of Mrs. w. H. Chase. This is the first chapter of the na- tional Camp Fire Girls organization to be launched in Cordova, and it is starting out with vim and enthusiasm. The members of the Club are: Naomi Robinson, Phyllis Downing, Verla Greenig, Sadie Pratt, Mary Scott, Viola Laiho and Betty Foster. At the first regular "camp fire" this week the organization was perfected, an appli- cation made for a charter and officers elected, Verla Greenig being chosen secretary, and Mary Scott treasurer, the presidency being, according to the rules of the organization, vested in the guardian.
 The Camp Fire Girls is a nationally known organization, for membership in which girls must be twelve years old. It's slogan is: Give to your country Health, Wealth and Woman hood" The cardinal principles of the vice, thrift, patriotism and devotion to the home, seeking to remove the stigma of drudgery from common du- ties by making them attractive through emphasis upon the romance of everyday life. Regarding personal health as a sacred thing, organized play, outdoor life and healthful habits are inculcated, and the girls are taught to do useful and efficient teamwork. Among the outdoor activities required are at least weeks camping each year. and walking one hundred miles each month.
 The Cordova branch has already begun it's activities, and in the candy sale held this afternoon has taken a first step toward collecting funds with which to buy uniforms, insignia, etc. Other sales are being planned for the early future, one of handmade handkerchiefs. one of novelties, and one of nuts and popcorn. Another en- prise will be the sale of Easter bulbs, which have already been started so as to be in blossom by that time.
 With the granting of charter, which is expected at once, the girls will launch forth on a summer of ac- tive and enthusiastic work.

FLUOROSCOPE REVEALS
 IF MAID IS IN LOVE

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, March 10.-A unique use for a horoscope, that part of an X-ray apparatus that enables the examiner to watch the organs of the body in operation, has been discovered by a Colorado stu dent whereby the weary path O. the lovelorn may be smoother-or at least all doubt of the existence of true love" removed.
 The student discoverer of th' slove machine" declares that h holds the key to the most intricate of love mysteries.
 With a horoscope, it is claime( the action of a drink of buttermil' or grapejuice can be readily noted in it's course down the canals of the body. An important part of the fluoroscope examination lies in the fact that sudden eXcitement-a love palpitation, for instance-will cause the swallowed liquid to act in a' unusual manner.
 Therefore, says the inventor stu, dent, place the lady alleged to be in love behind the horoscope; give her a swallow of some concoction and after the last drop has passed her dainty lips speak the name of the man in the case and
 If the drink continues its true course to the stomach she is not in love with him. But
 If the mixture acts strangely, not to say rudely, and does a little stut- tering on the way through the canals, you can be sure that Cupid is or the job.

Oregon and Nevada the best results
are obtained by not placing bulls
with COWS until about June 1 and
taking the bulls away about Deem
Der 1. This, as nearly as 1t can be
done. prevents calves being dropped
during the extreme cold of winter
when they are very difficult to raise.
An almost universal oversight
made each year by cattle raisers is
the failure to provide additional
bulls for the heifers coming two
years old. The reduction of the
herd by the cows sold each fall rarely
equals the number of heifers that
are coming two years old the fol-
lowing season.

IDAHO FALLS MAN
PROPOSED BIG DAM

Dan G. Martin, engineer, pioneer
resident of Idaho Falls, and widely
known citizen of the state, conceived
the plan and idea of the building
OF the great dam at American Falls
and which will create for water stor-
age purposes one of the greatest
artificial lakes in the world.
This was brought out in story on
"reminiscences of Idaho by Mr.. Mar
tin, member of the Rotary club at
the monthly dinner Wednesday night
when he was requested to tell of
some of his early experiences in the
state
The discussion was very interest
ing, as it traced almost from the be-
ginning of the history of irrigation
in southern Idaho.
During the discussion Mr.. Martin
modestly brought out the fact that
In the course of a conversation held
with other engineers in Twin Falls
when that great tract was in the
process of being made that he was
asked what point of the Snake river
IN southern Idaho presented the
greatest possibilities for a dam and
great storage reservoir, and an
swered, American Falls. AS a re-
suit of that suggestion the work was
taken up 20 years ago which now is
to be completed and as Mr.. Martin
states is an assured fact.

George M. Stanton's Trust Co. at
 Great Falls Fails

Great Falls, Mont, July 10.-The
 Stanton Bank and Trust company of
 this city closed it's doors yesterday. George H. Stanton, president of the
 institution was said to have advanced $50, ,000 on June 16 to make up the second s100,000 payment due Demp- sey on his bout with Gibbons. putting up the money at the instance of Mayor James Johnson of Shelby, who gave personal property as security.
 The Stanton bank with S260,0Oo capital and deposits of $60O,o00, opened as usual this morning, but closed it's doors voluntarily after II o'clock. It was said the bank was unable to take up the morning clear ings. Stanton could not be located yester- | day. He was said to have left the bank after issuing statement that the institution was solvent and that every dollar would be paid depositors. According to records of the Toole county abstract office at Shelby, Mayor Johnson transferred several parcels of real estate and oil land holdings on July 6 and to J. w. Speer, an attorney of Great Falls. In each instance thestransfer was made for a consideration of S1.
 Johnson was one of the heaviest packers of the Dempsey Gibbons bout and was said to have lost more than q t,, ite pf}nn
 Among the heaviest losers in the Stanton bank provided it is not sol- vent, will be the city of Great Falls, which, city officials said last night, had $36,oo on deposit in the bank. The city's cash was covered only by personal bonds of the banks officers, who were declared to have been ruined by the institution's failure.
 The last statement of the bank, made June 30. shows resources of $l,- 174.428.12 with deposits of about $500, ,ooO The liabilities balance the resources with S277.511 as capital stock, surplus and undivided profits, $6o,670 due other banks; $25,oo0 in bills payable with collateral and $1S7,s61.7O due war finance.
 The Stanton Bank and Trust com pany was orga nized by George H. Stanton 10 years ago. The officers of the bank are: George H. Stanton president; P. H. Jones, vice-president; S. J. Doyle cashier, all of Great Falls. |
