Schubert was born in 1877 in Vienna, that
home Of so many great musicians. He was the
son Of poor school-teacher. His Harold Lloyd
spectacles and bashful manner aroused mirth
among his companions at choir school, but his
talent, which developed early, commanded re-
pect.

1t is not always possible to discuss
thrift without referring to the statis-
tics compiled by bankers associations,
insurance companies and other sim
liar organizations, but we should not
create in our minds the idea that
thrift success is to be measured alone
by such standards.
There are young men in the humble
walks of life today who are patiently
saving small sums of money. In an
other decade or so we shall hear OF
them, because the habits they are
forming today can only lead to splen-
did results.
If you are only able to save pennies
or nickles or dimes, do not let this
fact dampen your ardor for thrift.
The chief values are mental and NOR
al. The real worth of man, his true
value to himself and others, cannot
be measured in terms of money.

UNCIVILIZED

| An ancient ape, once on a time
Disliked exceedingly to climb,
And so he picked him out tree
! And said, "Now this belongs to me.
| | have a hunch that monks are NUTS,
And can make them gather nuts,
And bring the bulk of them to me
By claiming title to this tree"
He took green leaf and reed
And wrote himself title deed,
Proclaiming pompously and slow;
"All monkeys by these presents
| know"
Next morning when the monkeys
came
To gather nuts, he made his claim:
"Ali monkeys climbing on this tree
Must bring their gathered nuts to me,
Cracking the same on equal shares
The meats are mine, the shells are
theirs"
"By what right?" they cried amazed,
Thinking the ape was surely crazed.
"By this" he answered, "if you read
You'll find it is title deed,
Made in precise and formal shape
And sworn before a fellow ape
Exactly on the legal plan
Used by the wondrous creature, man,
lin London, Toxic, New York,
Glengarry, Kalamazoo and Cork.
Unless my deed is recognized,
1t proves you quite uncivilized."
But" said one monkey, you'll
agree,
1t was not you who made this tree" !"
"Nor," said the ape, serene and bland
"Does any owner make his land.
Yet it, and all of it's hereditaments
Are his, and figure in the rents.
The puzzled monkeys sat about.
They could not make the question
out.
Plainly, by precedent and law,
The apes procedure showed no flaw,
And yet, no matter what he said,
The stomach still denied the head.
Up spoke on sprightly monkey then
> Monkeys are monkeys, men are
men.
:, The ape should try his legal capers
On man, who may respect his papers
We don't know deeds; we do know
r. nuts;
And spite of 'ands' and IFS and butts
We know who gathers and unmeat'
!, 'em,
BY monkey practice also eats 'em.
;. So tell the ape and all his funkeys
, No man tricks can be played on mon
n, keys" 4g-
Thus apes still climb to get their food
Since monkey minds are Grass and
crude,
And monkeys, all so ill-advised,
Still eat their nuts uncivilized.

Increase Is Shown
In Auto Accidents

Atlanta, Ga.-An increase in the
number of fatalities due to automo'
bile accidents throughout the coun'
try for the past month was reported
to th< Atlanta Safety Council. The
numlgr reported in seventy-eight OF
the larger cities of the country for
the period was 443. During the same
four-week's period in 1926, the
number was 375. The figures were
given out by J. E. Edwards, vice
president of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Coast railroad and president OF
the Atlanta Safety Council.
The gain in fatalities is more OF
less discouraging, safety advocates
here assert. 1t was expected that the
period, representing the most dis
agreeable part of the winter, wher
motoring should be least active
should show decrease in accidents
and fatalities. However, one reason
for the increase is the fact that win.
ter motoring with ice and snow as
handicaps, is more dangerous thar
in good weather. Nevertheless, safe
ty advocates say, too little care was
exercised by motorists, and no mat
ter what the condition of the weather
might be, carelessness in driving is
a dangerous practice.
Several of the 78 cities making re-
ports on motoring accidents showed
a clean slate in the matter of fatall'
ties. This honor roll consisted OF
eleven cities, and the same number
though not the same cities, reported
no fatalities during the same period
last year.
The majority of the motoring ia
talities occurred within the corpor-
ate limits of the cities reporting. Un-
ouestionably many fatalities occurred
on the highways outside the cities
that are not given in the total.

Value of Thrift Lies
Beyond Money Terms
RRv S. w. Straus, President

American Society for Thrifty
Comment is continually being made
on the large volume of deposits in the
savings banks of this country. There
is no gainsaying the value to the ma.
ton of 47,000,O00 savings accounts,
totalling $25, ZOO, 100000. These facts
are tribute to the power of educa-
ton.
1t should not be forgotten, how
ever, that the true value of thrift can
not be measured in dollars and cents.
The child, during the course of its
school life, may only be able to de-
posit few dollars in the school saw
ings bank, yet through these prac-
tees, it forms habits that will bring
great success in after years. 1t is not
on record that Lincoln, during the
early years of his life, saved much
money. He did not have it to save.
But he made the most of his oppor-
tunities and was shining example
of thrift.

BOBOLINKS NO LONGER
ALLOWED BE KILLED

By an order of the Secretary of
Agriculture it is no longer permitted
to kill reedbirds, or ricebirds, known
in the North as Bobolinks. In 1919,
owing to the serious depredations of
bobolinks on the rice crops of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida, permission was granted
by the Secretary, under authority of
the migratory bird treaty act, admin
istered by the Biological Survey of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture to kill these birds in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida for the protec-
ton of rice growers. This permis-
sio mis- now revoked.
Under the new order, a person or
members of his immediate family or
bona fide employees, owning or leas-
ing lands in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, or Florida on
which rice is being grown, may shoot
bobolinks, or ricebirds, only when au-
thorized by special permit issued by
the Secretary of Agriculture and
countersigned by the chief official
in charge of the enforcement of the
fish and game laws of the state in
which the permit is effective, and
only during the period from August
16 to November Is, inclusive, on rice
fields where such birds are seriously
injuring the crops. The birds SC
killed may be consumed as food bat
may not be sold.
