The above is a portion Of q let
ter recently written by . young
man in explanation Of his reasons
for practicing thrift. Until quite
recently his salary had been $4,000
a year and his savings have
amounted to 500 a month. At the
end Of the year he was asked for
a statement regarding why he was
willing to submit to such rigid self.
discipline. His letter comprised .
sermon on the value Of prudent
habits. 80
He stated that he was able TO
make such a large saving by keep.
ing budget. He did not feel that
his habits implied stinginess or
tight-fstedness, but he realized
that his success in life depended
on his ability to save money now
He said he had observed that few
successes in the business world are
permanent unless the man had
learned to save money, and that he
did not believe he ever would
amount to much II he did not learn
to master himself in the matter Of
personal expenditures. He dis
played a deep appreciation Of
thrift values when he called atten-
ton to the fact that it was not
alone the money he was saving that
would benefit him in after years,
but that to a still greater degree
benefits would ensue from the
strength Of character which he was
attaining. BY practicing thrift
and thus eliminating dissipation he
was able to turn his spare time-to-
good advantage by reading the best
books and otherwise fitting himself
for the great work which It Ii Liz

holes OF the last round were halved
Pierce played in hard luck on the
fourth and Tyson tied him. The NTH
hole was halved. but on the sixth Ty-
son drove the green and sank a long
shot for birdie two. which put him
one up. Tyson won the seventh hole,
which made it necessary for Pierce to

the last and deciding hole. Pierce got
