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

Goethe observed that, enthusiasm
is Of the greatest value, when we are
not carried away by it."
In the matter Of saving, there is
such a thing as being carried away
by enthusiasm. The miser is an
example of this. In order to save
and get ahead steadily it is vital
that we always keep our feet on the
solid ground of prudence.
To be effective, saving must be
continuous. The person who
pinches and saves every possible
penny for a short time and then gives
up and quits will never reach the
goal of independence or success.
Therefore, it is well always to have
in mind the matter of moderation.
Saving a reasonable amount regular
ly gives ever increasing sterilization
and strength.
When we are strong and well we
are apt to pay little or no attention
to matters of health. Then if we
become i'll we suddenly become
greatly interested in the care of our
physical being and we feel that
when we recover we will never again
allow ourselves to become neglectful
in these matters.
1t is the same way regarding
financial matters. In the vigor of
youth or in times of great prosperity,
we are apt to disregard the value of
thrift. We drift along from day
to day and year to year without
making preparations for the future.
Then suddenly some misfortune
happens and we find ourselves con
4 fronted by the stern realities of
financial impairment Possibly we
have lost our position through illness
or the source Of our income is I'M
expectedly wiped out. Then we
think of thrift and make up our
minds that if we ever become pros
porous again we shall not neglect to
put aside portion of our earnings
for the future.
Being thrifty does not mean that
we must be an extremist in the
matter of saving money or in giving
up rightful pleasures. Cultivate
moderation. Do not save to the
point of being miser nor to the
exclusion of the various uplifting
elements that have rghtful place
in our lives.
On the other hand, we must use
moderation in the matter of pleasure
and out of our earnings make sure
that we are providing for the lean
days that are sure to come.

Uncle bud Says: Beats all how
folks who do not agree with you are
classed as unreasonable. The fact
that some girls have not bobbed their

On the plan worked out by the
American expert finance commission,
Germany has made her first payment
of 20,000,000 gold marks
This is an advance payment on the
Forthcoming loan to the German
government that is being raised in
England and the United States.
The loan will be used to purchase
necessary raw materials like cotton,
copper and other articles used in
normal German industries.
Improved European prospects
and restoration Of industrial tran
guilty come as a result of general
acceptance of the nonpartisan and
nonpolitical financial scheme worked
out by American business men.
German industries and the German
people were suffering from a general
industrial and financial paralysis
that will now be relieved
AS result, there will be opened
up for American investment and
American products a practically I'M
limited field of opportunity in Our
Country.
There is the greatest inducement
to the largest and strongest
European nations to carry out every
feature of the program worked out
by the Dawes Committee.

but the entire 100000 members of
British trade unions are working to
carry through successfully the

Macleod and other mounted police
officers, the redmen were searched.
The chiefs shook hands with Colonel
Macleod, but haughtily ignored the
Americans. Sir Cecil Denny, in re-
calling the conference, said General
Terry carefully explained the terms
of the American government, they
must give up their firearms and sub

pointed out that they could look for

going back to the States if they pro
missed TO W. quiet peaceful lives.
Refuse to Return.
Sitting Bull made a great grafton,
in which he rejected the terms of the
American government, and begged
that the Sioux be allowed to remain
in Canada. This was agreed to, and
that afternoon General Terry and his
staff were escorted back to the line.

~ NE of the many interesting
chapters in the history 0 early
" days in the northwest was re-
enacted recently at Lethbridge, Al
berta, Canada. The Maceod jubilee
commemorating the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the arrival of the Northwest
Mounted Police and the founding OF
Fort Macleod drew men from all the
provinces of the Dominion and many
veterans from the state of Montana.
Conspicuous among the Montana
delegation was Colonel Stanford OF
Great Falls. In the old days, Col.
Stanford was among the mainstays of
I. G. Baker and was well known from
one end of the Fort Benton trail to

tended the jubilee and many were the
tales snapped in the old Queens
hotel. The historical pageant was a
masterpiece, depicting in vivid style,
the evolution of the west from the In

luxury.
In the procession were Indians in
paint, Indian Queens, Indian
travels, whiskey traders, pr~ospectors,
settlers, old cannon, a reproduction of
the old fort, the Fort Benton stage
coach, the string bull team, and the
"Mounties."
Among the more important Incl

pageant brought to memory is the

Selected Best of All
Travelling COMPANIONS

The Chinese have a fable of a man
who was once summoned to appear for
trial under an unjust accusation. The
place where he was to be tried was
far distant and the journey was long
and hard. Just before starting, three
disguised figures suddenly appeared
and asked to accompany him.
Said the first, 81 cannot promise to
go with you all the way, but will see
that you have comfortable lodgings
and plenty to eat and drink SO long as
am with you" The second said, II
cannot promise you these things, but I
assure you you shall have pleasant
companionship, laughter and conversa-
tion SO long as am with you" The
third said, II cannot promise you
money, nor even pleasant companion
ship, but I will go with you all the
way, plead your cause before the
judge, and testify on your behalf"
After listening to the offer Of all
these and weighing carefully their
statements the poor man decided to
choose the latter Whereupon the dis
guises were removed and he found the
first to be riches, the second his
friends, and the third his virtues. Is
there any doubt that his choice was
