of Valentines Day.

Many valentines are still sold by
the stores. but they do not seem so
loaded with sugary sentiment as for
merly. They are a means for ex-
changing pretty and graceful compli-
ments, and for children to remember
kid friends, but the messages on
these loving missiyes do not seem to
be taken very seriously.
The old time valentine was no mere
superficial compliment. Young
people used to send each other
valentines with about as much in
tense feeling as if they were a pro-
posal of marriage. Youthful love
affairs were violent then, when the
young crowd had fewer sports and
diversions to attract their attention.
When they got touch Of sen
timental contagion, it took strong
language to express the fervor Of
their feeling.

The Necessity of Hustle.

If you study the history of any
successful man, you almost invariab-
~ find that his rise in life is due to
something other than mere good
fortune Most men who have gone
ahead worked very hard for their re-
suits
One such illustration could be had
from the life of Henry Clews, the
noted banker who died a few days
ago During his early years he was
made an agent for the government in
selling United States bonds, it being
the civil war period. The secretary
of the treasury wrote in regard to
one loan, If it had not been for the
exertions of Jay Cooke and Henry
Clews. the loan would never have
been taken.
That tells the story of the toll
some steps by which the successful
man rises He takes hold of some
difficult proposition, and = untiring
zeal and energy he puts II through.
Not every one can be successful
banker. but this quality of gritty
perseverance will land anyone some
distance up the ladder,

Income Tax Facts.

In the making of his income tax
for the year 1922, a taxpayer, if
single, is allowed an exemption of
$1,000. A married person, or head
of a family, whose net income for the
year 1922 was $4,000 or less is
allowed an exemption of $4,000,
The exemption allowed a married
person or head of a family whose
net income was in excess of $4,000
is $4,000. A head of family is a
person who actually supports one or
more persons living in his or her
household who are closely related to
him or her by blood, marriage or
adoption.
An additional credit of $400 is all
lowed for each person (other than
husband or wife) dependent upon
the taxpayer for chief support, if
such person is under 18 years of age
or incapable of self support because
mentally or physically defective. A
single man whose net income for
1922 was $4,000 and who supports
ia his home an aged mother would
have no tax to pay, but would
nevertheless be required to file a
return. The fact that a persons
income may be nontaE2ble by the
reason of the exemption does not
nullify the requirement to file re-
turn if his income was within the
prescribed figures 900 if single
and $4,000 if married.
The normal tax is 4 per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income in excess
of the exemptions. and 8 per cent
ON the remaining net income. The
tax may be paid in full at the time of
filing the return, or in four INSTALL
ments due on or before March Is,
June IS, September Is, and Dec
ember is.

Waking up the School Children.

A good school is not created by q
fine building. A group of children
in little one room building may do
better work, if they are keenly in
terested to learn, than a bunch of
drowsy and tired kids in the finest
building in the world.
Success in waking up school child
rem and making them want to learn,
is partly a gift possessed by certain
teachers. To a certain extent it
depends on home Influence.
If parents never talk about school
lessons to their children, the young
sters may get the idea that those
lessons are not important If par
ents visit the school occasionally, if
they ask questions about their school
work, the kids begin to think that
going to school is a real JOB and
that they must attend to it.

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

At various times efforts have
been made under one circum-
stance or another, to develop prac-
tice of thrift by compulsion.
But compulsory thrift has never
been successful. That is a point to
be borne in mind by those who,
though actuated by the most
splendid motives, may be endeavor-
ing to compel habits of economy
among those under their guidance.
Thrift is fundamentally a matter
of mental attitude.
The saving of money, the elimina-
ton of idleness, the development of
efficiency are all matters which
primarily must depend for their
success on the state of mind of the
individual. Before man practices
thrift he must have an understand
ing of what thrift involves. He must
have an appreciation of its benefits
as compared with the sacrifices it
sometimes involves He must be
aware of all that it means in the de-
velopment of his career. He must
have a correct perspective of pre-
sent economies as related to future
benefits He must know thrift.
He must desire thrift. He must be
thoroughly sold on the whole plan of
thrift practice.
Until such a condition has been
reached every effort to compel him
to follow these practices win only
arouse his antagonism.
1t is true, of course. that an en-
ployer can compel those who work
under him to have withheld certain
portion of their earnings, for the
purposes of savings. In some isolat-
ed cases individuals may, through
this method, be started on the right
road But, broadly speaking, such
practices will arouse so much dis
contentment, resentment and pre-
JUDGE upon the part of employees
that infinitely more harm than good
will be done Moreover, the chief
benefit of thrift, namely, the de-
velopment of personal discipline, viii
have been lost.
Teach thrift Preach thrift. En-
courage thrift. Inspire thrift. But
do not try to compel it.

The past year has again seen many
young people leaving country towns
and going to the cities. Some have
been discouraged by low prices on
farm products, while they are at
traeted by renewed activity in the
factories.
A lot Of these folks may come out
about like thousands of those who
rushed into the cities in 1919 and
1920, but were out of a job in a year
on two. People who earn big pay
for "a time frequently find themselves
idle latter. Booms IN the city
Industries have often proved short
lived The country town is best
for a steady job and sure progress.

The Home Work Habit

Since wages went up in war time,
many people have growled great
deal because it has cost so much to
hire work done about their home
places. Yet if they have been
forced to take hold and do odd jobs
end household tasks for themselves,
they may have added years to their
lives.
A man was saying the other day,
that for many years previous to the
war, he had always hired men to
NOW his lawn, carry out ashes, spade
his garden, etc. He had got it into
his head that he ran the risk of doing
himself some serious injury if he
kept performing these active tasks.
But when labor became scarce,
and odd jobs had to be paid for at a
very high rate, this fellow in a
spirit Of desperation took hold and
did some of the work himself At
first he got completely winded by a
very littelabor. He felt very blue
and believed he was going to pieces
physically.
But he kept on doing a little at a
time At first he could not NOW
more than a third Of his lawn with
out feeling all in. But as he kept
doing it, he found that he could do
more and more until until finally he
could go over the whole lawn and
feel no worse.
1t has proved the same with many
women who before the war had
servants. When it came to the
point when they could not hire them
or could not afford to pay the wages
asked, they felt completely dis
couraged and the labors of a home
seemed a mountain to them. But
the longer they worked at thesimple
cid tasks Of housewifery, the better
their physical condition became
Many men and women as the result
Of such experiences are more com
petent physically to-day and look for
ward to more years of activity than
they did when they were eight or
ten years younger Early physical
Eeakdowns is quite apt to come from
failure to maintain habits Of activity.

According to all the economists,
too many people are fox trotting in
the dance halls, and too few are trot-
ting behind the haycarts on the
farms.
The towns that can't afford to keep
their roads passable in winter, also
can't afford to drive away the trade
of the surrounding country.
The people who think they are
betterinc their condition by moving
to the cities. usually find that they
have to cranp themselves down into
about one third of the living space
thlg used Is enjoy IN the country.
