ORRUPT POLITICS

CORRUPT POLITICS
Election came around and Liza said
her man was going to vote for the
Democrats. She was asked why he
had made this decision. Liza said
it was because the Republicans had
offered him more for his vote than
the Democrats. But, Liza, one
would think that would be the very
reason he would vote the Republi-
can ticket. No, ma'a she replied,
that proves for sho that the Demo
Gratis is the leas' corrupt.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

IF you would learn a lesson in the
constructive values of thrift, study
the lives of our Presidents.
John Adams, taught school as a
young man to obtain money for his
education in the law; Zachary Taylor
labored as a boy on his fathers
southern plantation and had practi-
cally no early educational advant
ages; Willard Fillmore worked as a
village school teacher and borrowed
the money to enable him to study
law.
The early struggles of Abraham
Lincoln and the disadvantages under
which he became one of the greatest
men of all times, are known the
world over. AS boy Lincoln "the
rail-splitter," worked for ten years
on his fathers farm and it is said
that all of his schooling amounted to
only one year. Andrew Johnson
come from a poor family in North
Carolina and as a boy was ap-
prenticed for ten years to tailor
during which time he taught himself
to read and write.
James A. Garfield had practically
no educational advantages as a
young man and was compelled to
maintain himself early in life by
the hardest of farm labor. At one
period ne earned his livelihood by
driving a team of mules for a canal
boat.
Warren G. Harding started life
doing chores on a farm in Ohio. For
several years he earned his livelihood
as a typesetter, school teacher,
insurance agent and newspaper re-
porter.
Calvin Coolidge's first job was a
chore boy on his fathers farm. He
worked his way through college by
part time. His vacations all were
spent in earning money.
One might easily add to the list of
our Presidents who have learned the
value of thrift as an element of
success. Hayes, Cleveland, Nc
Kinley and Wilson learned its value
out of the book of their own early
struggles.
These are not new facts. Every
school boy should know them. Every
young man beginning business
career should be reminded of these
splendid examples of obstacles
overcome.
The lives of most really successful
men constitute our best lessons in
thrift.

Every Day Spent in School Is
Worth $I6.66,

Madison-Every day spent in
school is worth $16.66 to every boy
or girl who avails himself of the OPP
portunities offered, State Treasurer
Solomon Levitan told students of the
Madison Vocational school.
The average day laborer earns
about 5000 year, Levitan said, to-
falling during working lifetime of
40 years, $4,000, while the average
high school graduate earns during
the same period $4,000, The adj
ditional $4,000 which the high
school graduate has pocketed re-
presents an Investment of II years
of $50 school days each or a total
of 216G days $1666 a day, accord
ing to Levitan.

pick that toy for Dick, that pipe for
Uncle Larry. But if you wait some
other skate will carry home the
bacon and things you eraved will
not be saved-they'll all be picked
and taken I'd ought to do what l
tell you and buy my gifts in season;
but I'm inclined to be behind and
have no goodly reason. Each morn
! say III go today and do my
Christmas buying, the days scoot by
in gearing high and Christmas day is
''nighing." When crowds are thick
| fight to pick my gifts and presents
many; my feet are sore my feelings
wose, / feel like old Gehennny.
Don't emulate my foolish wait but 90
today and do it; for with 'em bot
you'll smile lot and never, never
rue it.
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1923-12-08

Soldiers who went abroad we're
paid $1.10 a day, while those who
served in this country were paid
only $1.00 a day. Their brothers
and cousins who did not go into the
army or navy received from $500
to $4,000 a day, or several times as
much as they had ever made before
in their lives.
Big business opposes the bonus
because big business fears it would
have to pay few dollars more in
taxation, although bigbusiness pro-
fitted more than any other agency
as a result of the war.
Big business should be consistent
and approve the bonle, or be equally
consistent and do the fighting when
the next war comes.
Play square game--and pass the
bonus.

BUYING EN- EARLY.

Each Christmas time | write a
rhyme on buying presents early;
to pilgrims all both short and tall
the skinny and the burly l give
advice three times or twice and
warn 'em of the folly of waiting
late for shopping date-each Oliver
and Polly. 1t doesn't pay,my lyrics
say, to wait for time suspicious; for
stocks win be sight to see-the
clerks be feeling vicious. Buy
them in time, so runs my rhyme, go
get 'em now nor tarry; you now can
