Ia to G. 1t was the first game of
the season for Ashland and the
second for Hurley, the locals having
taken Minocqua into camp the
Friday previous.
In the Ashland game both teams
showed the lack of practice in basket
shooting. Hurley worked the bali
to within striking distance of the
Ashland goal many times but failed
in the attempts to put the sphere in
the basket. Ashland also missed
many chances to pile up the score.
The game was clearly played,
there being but one foul called on
Hurley and four on Ashland.

engagements are made. then drops
off until between and 4 p. m.

Another peak is reached between 4

closing and again at ! o'clock when
evening "dates" are made. After
that the traffic dwindles away and at
midnight the switchboard Is

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society FOR Thrift

In round numbers there are thirty
million savings bank depositors in the
United States today whose deposits
amount to more than $1,000 00,-
600. Ten years ago the savings
accounts in banks and trust COM
panies numbered 100000 and
amounted to sS,000,000, goo.
Perhaps the most significant
feature Of these figures, compiled
by the savings bank division of the
American Bankers Association, is the
increase of 141 per cent in the
number of savings accounts.
They mean that in 1912 one out
of every eight persons in the United
States, so to speak, was the possessor
of savings bank account Today
one person out of four has money in
savings bank.
Thus we are able to see in con-
crete form some Of the values of the
campaigns Of thrift education that
have been in operation in this
country during the last ten years or
more.
Among children the progress has
been even more rapid. Ten years
ago the schools savings banks of the
country We're practically Il negligible
quantity Today 100000 school
children have school savings bank
deposits Of $4,000, 900.
These accomplishments cannot be
valued intrinsically. The $4,000
GOO saved by school children in
pennies. nickels and dimes must be
appraised from the standpoint of
future generations turned to thrift;
of splendid citizenship, clean lives.
happy homes and a sound social
order.
1t is gratifying to note the pro-
gress of savings in this country.
There is still much to be accomplish
ed Substantially there are So
100000 people in the United States
today who are not savings bank
depositors. but who could be if they
were so educated and inspired.
America IS in the midst of great
prosperity and the outlook is
promising The writer recently re
turned from abroad where he saw
many evidences Of unemployment,
unrest and unwholesome economic
conditions. 1t the people of the
United States oould only see Europe
today they would appreciate more
deeply than is now the case how
fortunate they are. Perhaps it would
serve as a lesson to teach them how
diligently they should save Their
money and safeguard their future
by constant practices of thrift
