water for the past fifteen years
for the water users of this dis

prune before the day was over.
Brother Mock, a wheat farmer by
trade, was assigned one end of a
12-foot pruning hook and instruct

bing out his young orchard. Pat
Healy, arriving late, escaped the
supervisors notice and had pruned
three fence posts before he was de-
tected and put on the brush piling
job. Gardener Shull showed up
with a Planet Jr. and package
of bird seed, but was collared at
the gate and assigned the job of
going ahead of the primers and

Star continues to show a strong lead
for Al Smith over Herbert Hoover.
Approximately 10000 votes have been
taken and of these Smith has a mar
gin of about 1900. The true sig
nificance, though, of the poll lies in
the drift shown from the Coolidge,
Davis, and LaFollette vote of 1924 to
Hoover and Smith. Smith is polling
approximately "A per cent of the Cool
idge vote; 65 per cent of the Davis
vote, and rs per cent of the LaFollette
vote. Applying these percentages to
the votes cast in Minneapolis in 1924
would give Smith lead of more than
1900.
1t is quite evident that the strength
shown by Smith is in the nature of an
INSTRUMENTATION protest and not so
much an indication of the popularity
of the New York governor. But this
protest will materially augment the
Farmer-Labor vote in November.

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

One of the sayings of Poor Richard
was: "a man may, If he knows not
how to save as he gets, keep his nose
all his life to the grindstone, and die
not worth a groat at last"
If you are not saving money today,
do not make the mistake of believing
that time will make the beginning
easier Even though your income
may increase and your general cir
cumstances in life become more pros
porous, you will find it just as hard
to save money later as now.
One of the most serious mistakes
made by many is the assumption that
at some time in the future it will be
easier to save money and get ahead
than it is at present.
Human experience has shown that
even with the attainment of larger
income, one is no more apt to save
than before because when the income
grows the standard of living is quite
apt to rise in even greater proportion.
Saving is not so much a matter of
income or financial position as it is a
question of inclination. Determine
ton rather than material circum-
stance is the deciding factor.
The man who goes long from day
to day without saving is making the
task harder for himself. He is pay
ing a usurious interest for his pro-
crastination which may some day
completely crush~and overwhelm him.
He is undermining his character,
vitiating his will and gambling his
time against fate.
The saving of a small amount OF
money today makes one better
equipped to save something tomorrow
or next week. We are made strong
er in character, and have the inspira-
ton of our bank account, our invest
ment securities or some other con-
crete evidence of our progress.
The hardest dollar of all to save
is the first one.
One dollar saved today is worth
many theoretically saved tomorrow
a day which never comes.
