OFFICE NOISES

Some one who has made an intimate
study of so-calIed office noises" is
authority for the statement that every
little noise that the busy business man
may hear while engaged in Office work,
either public or private, has the effect
Of costing him a little energy-even,
as sometimes happens, these same meI
may get used to the little noise. When
a business mans health begins to
break he becomes irritable. That is,
every little thing annOys him. Even
the clicking of the typewriter keys or
the ticking Of a clock has an untOward
effect upon this man. And by resort
to these conclusions the experts in
form US that this leakage of energy,
caused by office noises, In the course
Of time are apt to incapacitate a bust
ness man for the larger duties which
devolve upon him and which Of ne
cesslty he has to assume. This is an
age when office men are undergoing a
terrific strain, says the Springfield
(Ohio) News. This strain, which is
the result Of superlative efforts to
keep ahead, when augmented By add
tlonal annoyances such as noises, is
bringing lots Of men to the breaking
point In their physical beings, The
tension Of the age is beginning to tell.

Bessemer's failure to fall on the
ball following a punt paved the way
for Ironwood's lone touchdown in
the football classic at Bessemer Sun
day, which went to Ironwood to O..
Early in the first quarter Ironwood
punted to Bessemer's % yard line.
Bessemer allowed the ball to roll
dead, being unaware that the ball
had touched the foot of a Bessemer
man. Ironwood fell on the ball
and started a march for the goal that
concluded with a neat forward pass
and a touchdown. Des Jardien
booted the ball between the goal
posts for the extra point.
A battle royal followed and de-
spite herculean efforts Ironwood
could not score again, neither could
Bessemer get the ball over. Bessemer
made consistent gains. especially in
the second half, but every time they
cot within striking distance of the
goal Ironwood held them. Bessemer
seemed to be the better team but
lacked the punch when near the
enemy's goal.
With ideal weather the game at
tracted a large attendance. one Of
the largest in the history of range

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Contact with conditions in Europe
emphasizes above everything else the
stabiIizing value of thrift to a
nation.
In America, happily, we are not
confronted by many Of the problems
that are demanding solution across
the sea.
Ultimate national progress must
depend on the sound economic status
of the individual In this fact lies
the priceless value of thrift to the
nation because thrift results in
personal economic improvement,
thus fostering a contented and
happy citizenship.
Our schools, churches, banks and
all other institutions which are today
seeking the development of more in
tensive thrift practices in the United
States are going straight to the
heart of one Of humanity's gravest
problems.
Each individual who adopts a
routine of systematic thrift becomes
an added unit Of defense against the
encroachment of those fanatical
systems which have for their object
the overthrowing of the present
established order of civilized pro-
gress.
Practice thrift, preach thrift,
teach thrift and you will be directly
safeguarding the future stability of
our nation.
No fair minded man can be
pessimistic over conditions and
tendencies in this country, yet the
fact remains that, with so many
disturbing factors abroad, we should
with all the greater diligence see that
the foundations Of our own country
are secure. This means more
savings bank depositors, more home
owners. more intelligent investors,
more school children in the school
savings banks, more building and
loan association members, more
teachers, preachers, newspapers and
magazines developing an intensive
and practical appreciation of thrift.
The stability of our present social
system is based on individual thrift.
We need have no fear of Bolshevism
communism, syniealism or any other
kindred destructive systems if we
keep this fact well in mind at all
times and apply it persistently.

unless he thinks of himself more

can satisfy 100 or 800 sermon
samplers every Sunduy?" 1t
would be different IL he could say to
himself with confidence: "The people
will come to church, not chiefly to

message and not mine they viii desire
They will come also to pray and sing
