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

There is a Japanese proverb which
expresses a deep truth in the follow
ing words: Success and happiness
are the beautiful flowers that spring
from the plain brown bulbs of thrift
and savings" 1t is said that these
words, printed on posters, are dis
played in many parts of the Island
Empire
Many Americans are apt to think
of thrift in terms of plain brown
bulbs, without thought of the beauti-
full foliage that comes from them.
One sometimes hears the expression
I'VE live only once, so why deny
ourselves the good things that life
has to Offer; or "let the future take
care of itself. it does not pay to
worry about things that may never
happen"
Those who give expression to such
thoughts most decidedly have the
wrong point of view. They are not
thinking of the beautiful flowers of
success and happiness, but are
thinking only of the plain brown
bulbs. The necessary connection
between practices of thrift and real
success is just as definite as is the
connection between the brown bulbs
and the beautiful flowers of the lilly
To maintain that one can go
through life with absolute disregard
for the fundamentals of rightful
living and prudent habits, and still
continue to thrive and make progress
is as false doctrine as would be the
suggestion that the flowers could
live and grow without a bulb.
There are varying standards of
thrift. according to the individuals
circumstances and conditions. But
living beyond ones means, squander-
ing ones time, energies and health,
and thinking only of the present
moment without plan or preparation
for the later years, are practices
that cannot fail to bring I'M
happiness in the end.
Unless the flowers of your success
and happiness are rooted in the plain
brown bulbs of thrift, the day of
their passing is sure to come.

Novel Eqa. Boiling.

What is probably the most noveI
method OF boiling eggs has been in
vented by the cook of one of Americas
greatest hotels.
He has had number of imitation
eggs made in thin porcelain. They are
hollow and have screw-tops. To boil
an egg, he unscrews one of the imlta-
tions, breaks a real egg into II, screws
IT up again. and then boils 1t in the
usual way
The eggs are sent to table on a spe-
cially made stand and the guest merely
screws the top If the eggs are not
sufficiently cooked they can be sent
back for further boiling; II they are
cooked too hard they need not be
wasted, for they can be warmed up Tor
another person. In this way every
guest gets his eggs cooked as required.

The present state legislature has
come in for a good deal Of criticism
from various quarters, probably
most all Of the quarters there are,
but it has an excellent opportunity
to be remembered gratefully for
years and centuries after the work
of many less criticised legislatures
has been utterly forgotten.
The senate committee has report
ed favorably on the Bilgrien bill for
the purchase of 5000 acres in Villas
and Price counties for the establish
ment of the Northern Lakes part. If
this bill is passed and if the park
program is carried out as planned,
millions of people in future genera
tions will rise up to call the state
legislature which passed the bill
blessed and wise, farsighted and
intelligent.
And the blessing will begin in the
very near future. The preserva-
ton Of this tract Of timberland in as
nearly a primitive state as possible
is going to mean whole lot to peo-
pie now living. Within a very few
years as the cutting, settlement and
clearing up of the few remaining
timber tracts Of the state is accom-
plished, such a timberland park will
be a natural wonder and curiosity
well worth a journey of many miles
to see.
At present there is still a good deal
of wild land in Upper Wisconsin but
such land with large standing timber
upon it is already scarce. Tourists
can find unfrequented and out of the
way places in plenty in which to
camp but few places where they can
see what the primitive forests of the
state looked like.
Within the next quarter of CEN
tury the acquisition of this park will
pay the state in dollars and cents
many times the cost of the land and
any expense incurred in developing
the tract and preserving the timber
on 1t in increased receipts from out
of-state tourists who come to Wis
consin just as definitely to see this
bit Of remaining natural forest as
tourists go now to the Yellowstone
park or to see the big trees of
California.-Superior Telegram

PROBABLY IN HIS TEETH
The architect deserves a hand.
He always makes a hit.
He doesn't build upon the sand
And yet he has the grit.
At any rate you can patronize

holed by some weepy chap who
wishes to tell the sad story of his
life.
After hearing a glee club sing,
one sometimes wonders where it got
its name.
A man may be proof against all
other flattery, but his vanity wiggles
with delight when you ask his advice
You notice when the girls took to
trousers they didn't buy long baggy
ones.
what makes a cook a cook?,, asks
a headline on the womens page.
Back in 1917 cooks were made in
various ways. whats your trader"
asked the army officer. Garage

you're a cook. And thenceforth
he was a cook.

The cnthusIasms Of young men are
one of the most splendid spectacles
life affords When they are linked to
patriotic ideals they are things that
only fools or knayes would scoff at,
says the Natal Advertiser. Yet there
is no other arena in which men should
hasten as slowly as In the political
world Youth and enthusiasm (they
do not always go together. for there
are sometimes gray heads on green
shouldersl are things that time re-
morselessly corrects. They are at
best but an angle from which the in
yolyed and intricate political structure
can be viewed; and those who see the
structure from the angle of youth to-
day see It tomorrow from the cor
recting vantage point of maturer mid
die age The middle age angle is per
hups only a compromise between the
rival ones of youths enthuslasms and
the reaction Of old age. But, in poll
ties at least the compromise angle IL
the most likely In the long run to be
the right one.
