A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS)

The statement often is made tina
this is a materialistic age. Ameri
cans particularly are criticised a
times for their so-called materialism
Much of the worlds progress, how
ever, has been due to materialism
The construction of railroads ant
highways and the building of oul
great cities have, to considerable
extent, been the result of material
istic impulses.
1t may be said. moreover. that the
spirit of our materialiSm has been
softened by humanitarian impulses
This fact is born in upon us with par
ticular emphasis at this time OF
year when there is so much activity
in preparation for the holiday season
and when such tremendous sums are
being donated by charitably inclined
persons to the needy and unfortunate
1t is a fine commentary on our citi-
zenship to find so much thought and
attention given to matters Of this
kind.
1t is not out of keeping with cur
rent thought, however, to call attent-
ion to the fact that a great amount
of poverty and distress of the world
is due to sheer lack of thrift. An old
philosopher once wrote that the
highest step and summit of charity s
golden ladder is to so aid man that
he may earn an honest livelihood and
not be forced to the dreadful alter
native of holding out his hand for
charity"
Truly it may be said that we help
others most when we help them to
help themselves. In earlier develop
ments of thrift education there grew
up, particularly in England, vast
numbers of charity associations.
Persons who were in need were given
aims to alleviate their temporary
condition. The knowledge developed
out of these early activities that char
tiles of this description often encour-
ages ~idleness. AS time advanced,
society learned that the best way to
combat poverty was to encourage in
dustry. Due to the popular develope-
ments of thrift habits, poverty is
gradually being eliminated, although
there always will be those who, tenn
porarily at least, will need charity.
But we should remember that when
we encourage thrift upon the part of
any individual we are most likely
removing him forever from the pos
sibility of ever becoming a charit-
able object

sists that nothing less than $4,000
can heal the wounds which Mr.. Dane
is alleged to have inflicted upon her
heart. Miss Valdemar is Russian
who at one time was married to an
officer in the Russian navy. Widowed,
she became a dancer, and soon there
after migrated to Hollywood. She al
leges in her complaint against Karl
Dane that six months ago he prom
ised to marry her but that he has re-
fused to carry out that promise.

WASHINGTON LETTER

agriculture. Some leaders are offer
| ing the opposition that the extra ses
sion should be confined to tariff re
vision, while sectional groups sugges
that Congress give exclusive attention
to the farm problems. Present symp
toms are that a special session will
be obliged to consider other majol
legislative problems, rather thar
items savoring of class legislation.
The trend of Latin-American af-
fairs is such that Mr. Hoover may
want the special session to give the
Executive Department specific au-
thority to carry out his proposals.
Whatever opinions Mr. Hoover forms
as the result of his tour of Latin
America may be of sufficient impor-
lance to be translated into legislation
Immediately The threat of war in
South America is disturbing business
men as well as diplomats in this
country.
1t is a brave man who can consist
emily stand out against his colleagues
in an effort to censor the Congress-
ional Record. 1t is true that the num-
Der of these reformers is small, but
under the parliamentary rules their
opposition to the introduction of ex-
traneous matter in the Record is usu-
ally effective. 1t is significant to note
that the less influential a Senator or
Representative the more space he
takes up in the official record of pro-
ceedings in Congress. There is one
legislator whose opening words in
speech are signal for his colleagues
to leave the floor giving him an ex-
elusive audience of official stenog-
raphers and gallery visitors. Others
who are incapable of oratory clutter
up the pages of the Congressional
Record with extension of remarks"
or speeches written but not delivered.
The campaign toward the expurga-
ton of this document will cause en-
barassment to many Legislators whose
constituents are led to believe that
because 1t appeared in the Record
their spokesman is an influential
orator.

BOYS BAND INVITED
Officers for Ensuing Year
Will Be Elected Din
ner at $3.50

The annual meeting of the Sank
Centre Community Club which
will be held at the Club rooms this
Thursday evening will start with
a dinner for men only at $50 p
m. The dinner will be served by
the ladies of the Episcopal church.
The charge wild be $1.00 per plate.
Sank Centres Boys Band, 46
strcng, will be the guests of honor
at the dinner. Prior to the dinner
they will favor the Club members
with several selections.
State Auditor Ray P. Chase has
been engaged to make the address.
Mr.. Chase is perhaps the best post
ed man in the state on Minnesota s
resources, potentially and actual.
He has made a close study of tax
alton, and has a mass of interesting
figures at his finger tips. There
is no political significance to Mr..
Chase's visit to Sank Centre as his
term as auditor does not expire
until 1880. Those who are FORUM
ate enough to hear him have a
treat in store.
The officers for the ensuing
year will be elected at this meeting
and the Herald presumes the chair
men of the various standing COM
mittees will make their reports.
Under the bylaws of the Club,
members voting at the annual ell
lection must have their dues for the
current year paid.

SAUK CENTRE AFFECTED
Statistician Holds Scale Be-
low Present Would Pay
6 Per Cent

Chicago, Jan. 23-Rates to APP
ply on the grain traffic in terri
tory served by the Great North
ern Railway proposed at the inves-
tigation being conducted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
here today are from 1 to 8 cents
higher than present rates for dis
tances up to about 500 miles.
P. B. Beidlemann. st. Paul, as
sistant general freight agent, was
the present witness put on by the
Great Northern. He explained
that the scale Of rates proposed
was the same as had been proposed
in 1925 in conjunction with an at
tempt to revise the applicable rates
interstate in Minneapolis. The
commission suspended the rates
proposed at that time but said they
would be considered in the present
investigation, he said,
His proposals included the con-
tinuance of the present practise OF
assessing a charge where transit
was granted for milling or elevator
service in excess of the straight
transportation charge and the es-
tablishment of rates on coarse
grain equal to 90 per cent, of the
wheat rates at present.
According to lBIeileman, the
establishment of the rates suggest
ed will in no material way effect
the present competitive arrange
ment as between Duluth and Min
neapolis in their ability to draw
grain from the producing territory
along the lines of the Great North
ern system.
There were some restricted ter
ritories where one or the other was
given the benefit of from a half
cent to / " cents in the relative
adjustment as between the two,
he said, but where in one instance
Minneapolis was benefited, in an
other Duluth received a cores
ponding advantage to offset that.
Any such changes, he said, were
made for the purpose of bringing
the adjustment more. closely in line
with proper mileage basis.
For hauls in excess of more than
500 miles no changes in present
rates We're suggested. AS an illus
tration of the change that would
result from the application of the
rates proposed, he cited the pres
ent rate from Sank Centre, Mimi,
to Minneapolis for lot miles, which
is IL cents for 100 pounds, and
proposed 1874 cents for the same
distance. The rate for that dis
tance, according to the scale in
troduced by l.. r. Bitney, Stats
tician for the Minnesota commits
sion, based on cost Of service plus
a 6 per cent return on investment
would be z cents. Bitney's scale
was determined in accordance with
a formula submitted by M. O..
Lorenz, director Of the commits
sion's bureau of statistics, and was

Herald Books An
Unusual Feature
Right to Publish Lindbergh's eve"
Observation-Disclosures Starts
February 9

No private individual has re-
ceived as much publicity from
every angle as has Charles Lind
bergh, the unassuming Minnesota
lad who startled the world last
May by flying from New York to
Paris.
With the adulation which has
been heaped upon him he is still
the unassuming and reserved
youth.
Shortly after he returned from
France he wrote book of his
aviation experiences. No book of
the present generation has been
so widely read as Lindbergh's
eve" It is the desire of the au-
thor that this book be given the
widest publicity to the end that
the younger generation, especial
-ly, may read it.
Last week "We" was released
for publication in the rural week
lies.
The Herald, ever alert to furn-
ish its large family of readers with
the best available, has purchased
the serial rights for the publica-
tion of Owe" 1t will probably
take about 80 weeks to complete
the story. Present plans call for
the publishing of the first chapters
of this unusual feature the issue
of Feb. 9. Watch for it.

Long Prairie.
The object of Mr.. James visit
was to explain fully the plan of
unification of the Great Northern

to answer any questions which
might be brought up in the course
of the evening.
The gentleman's visit to Sank
Centre was arranged hurrieily. He
addressed the Kiwanis Club at
Alexandria at a luncheon Wednes-
day noon and desired to meet with
the Sank Centre business men in
the evening. Because Of the an
nual meeting of the Sank Centre
Community Club this Thursday
evening it was impractical to call
special meeting for Wednesday.
Mr.. James talk was entirely in
formal but very informative. He
showed how the unifcation would
permit the saving Of $10,000,000
yearly in overhead and there would
be many other economies.
