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

A young man, who has made rapid
advancement in the business world,
and, from every standpoint of good
citizenship and personal progress, is
an outstanding success, recently was
asked to outline the principles which
have served for his guidance His
written reply was as follows:
II believe in doing more than am
paid to do, because / believe that it
viii pay me in the long run, and that
| can prove to be of greater value to
myself and to my friends. If
necessary, / will make sacrifices.
have made them in the past, and
expect to make them in the future.
| do not believe any man can really
succeed who is not willing to make
sacrifices, and make them promptly
and willingly when they are called
for"
Here is one of the best lessons in
thrift ever uttered. 1t would be
well if all young men and young
women could read it carefully and
apply it personally.
1t is a lesson in thrift because it
teaches success through sacrifice.
All real success must stand on the
solid foundation of sacrifice.
This is true in every walk of life,
and, with equal truth, it may be said
that the practices Of thrift are of
greatest value because of the
strength of character, will-power
and complete self-mastery which
they impart.
The employee who is willing to
make the sacrifices of doing more
than he is paid to do-the man or
woman who saves at the sacrifice of
temporary pleasures, can rest as
sured they are on the high road of
success.
To all those who are imbued with
the true thrift spirit, sacrifices are
but blessings in disguise.

Costly Negligence.


Negligence in driving automobiles,
which causes them to run into rail
road trains is going to prove costly,
because railroads have announced
that they expect to retaliate; that
instead of being on the defensive as
in the past, they will be the com
planning parties at the bar of justice
Not SO long ago the Great Northern
railroad won a verdict for damages
against a resident of Great Falls,
Montana, who drove his automobile
into a freight train, smashing the
side of freight car. The amount
collected was small, but the railroad
values the judgment as a precedent
and expects to press suits of similar
character where the motorist is at
fault.
Though railroads are frequently
at fault in running trains through
towns and cities too fast, every fair
minded person will admit that they
have done much to teach the motor
ing public caution 1t has availed
them little, and while they will not
lessen their efforts to save lives and
themselves damage suits, they can
not be blamed if they retaliate in
kind.
With millions of automobiles in
America, the problem of keeping
them off the railroad tracks becomes
more and more perplexing. If the
railroad companies, in threatening to
collect damages and thus touch a
vital spot with the automobile owner,
can reduce the number Of accidents
at railroad crossings, they will per-
form a service not alone for them
selves, but for the motoring public
as we'll

ROMANCE OF THE ALMANAC


An almanac was one of the first
works upon which Gutenberg en-
ployed his new art Of printing In 1857,
but 7he FIRST 20 be printed In England
did not appear until about forty years
later II was called THE Sheap-
heard's Kalendar" After that date
almanacs increased and multiplied,
and began TO include "omens and
representations" One which is still
preserved is called 1.-THE Prognosty-
caycion Of Mayster John Tybault: OF
the influence of the moon; Of peas
and ware, and the revolutions of
Kings and Princes" Local almanacs
became popular in the Seventeenth
century, says London Tit-Blts. One
was printed for Birmingham in 1912
by Nathaniel Nye, Practitioner Of
Astronomy" The preface declares
that II is for "the faire and populous
towne Of Blrmicham In Warwick
shire, where the Pole Is elevated
above the horizon 81 degrees and 80
minutes" At first the stationer's
company had the privilege of printing
all almanacs, but James / extended
the privilege to the Universities Of
oxford and Cambridge II was not IN
til 1884 that local printers were pS&
mitted TO issue their own produc-
lions CoIored almanhcs came In
about 1865. They were single sheets
at first. very crude and badly printed.
But In about ten years they began to
improve, and eventually really good
pictures were bought by almanac
makers for reproduction. The All
manach de Gotha" IL 100 years old.
In 1863, when first published. it had
less than hundred pages.

Want A Pure Bred Dairy Sire !?

Farmers interested in securing a
pure bred bull for just a little more
than the price of a scrub bull should
get in touch with the county agent
at once. We made several side
trips in connection with the dairy
show and made a number of deals
with dairy farmers who have surplus
cattle for sale. We have several
good propositions to offer to farmers
who could use a pure bred holstein or
Guernsey bull at the present time
and will be able to offer very good
inducements at a later date to
farmers interested in purchasing
young pure bred bull calves.
These animals will go fast at the
prices offered for we have secured
rock bottom prices on animals of
good breeding. 1t will pay interest
ed farmers to see the county agent
at once and make the necessary ar
engagements to secure one of these
pure bred bulls

Hog Prices Day by Day

Due to the activity of local packers
and good demand from outside ac-
count, hogs moved on a steady to s.
cent higher market in trading at the
local livestock yards today. From the
start trading was active and good
hogs began to sell at $7.70, although a
few lots brought $765. Bulk of the
hogs then commanded 1910, as com
pared to Mondays one price Of S765.
Kingan entered actively into the buy
ing, taking $500 head at the 1880
40 range Demand from all sources
proved good, promising an early clear
ance of the pens, and the price con-
tinued firm at $40, although many
good hogs brought $7.65 until the clos
ing deals. The demand for sows was
somewhat improved and those of the
smooth light variety were selling
down from 81, with the bulk around
$6.S5. Ordinary rough, heavier sows
were selling accordingly lower at
$3.50 to S675. Although there was
no unusual demand for pigs, prices
held generally steady, ranging from
$3.50 to $7.25. Receipts, 5000, inclus-
i've of 81 carryovers.
Trading in the cattle division was
moderately active, with prices in most
instances holding generally steady.
Steers sold over a range from So to
$11. Apparently there was contin-
ued a poor demand for cows, as was
the case on Monday. The price was
in some cases as much as 90 cents
off and it appeared as If the same
tone would characterize today's trade.
Heifers were of better sale with
those of the heavy baby-beef type
quoted at 50 top and selling down to

Demand for calves was improved
and the market was strong, with

bringing $3.50 as compared to Mon
